Hi,
FYI, still not fixed... package version : base-files-3.9-3.tar.bz2 postinstall message : running: D:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning. Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames => WINETC and WFILE should use forward slashes (\\ => /) proposed change (thanks to Eric Blake) : WINETC="$WINHOME/system32/drivers/etc" ... WFILE="$WINETC/`expr substr "$mketc" 1 8`" Regards, Cyrille Lefevre -- mailto:cyrille.lefevre-li...@laposte.net -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
