I came accross the following. These two files existed. /home/prefix/gentoo/bin/tr.exe /home/prefix/gentoo/usr/bin/tr -> /home/prefix/gentoo.bin/tr.exe
So we have a symblic link to an executable from a different directory. Perls configuration script detected /home/prefix/gentoo/usr/bin/tr and called it as /home/prefix/gentoo/usr/bin/tr.exe. That didn't work. Obviously the .exe magic does not work for symbolic links from a different directory. I solved that by adding a second symbolic link /home/prefix/gentoo/usr/bin/tr.exe. What is the best way to go here? * Adapting all scripts that behave like Perls configuration. * Always adding both forms of symbolic links (program and program.exe) * Making .../bin and .../usr/bin the same directory by means of a hardlink. * Extending Cygwins .exe magic to work for that kind of symblic links.
