On WinXP when I run /usr/sbin/makewhatis -w I get the messages: bash$ [Administrator] makewhatis -w chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp/whatis800': Invalid argument chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/man/whatis': Invalid argument chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/man/whatis': Invalid argument chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/ssl/man/whatis': Invalid argument
Looking at the source there are commands to perform chmod on some dirs. I have CYGWIN=ntsec in my cygwin.bat as follows: --------------------------------------------------------- @echo off D: chdir D:\cygwin\bin set CYGWIN=ntsec set PATH=/usr/sbin:/cygdrive/d/WINDOWS/system32 bash --login -i --------------------------------------------------------- So, as the FAQ suggests to run makewhatis to build the whatis db, what is the solution?
