Hi,
When I type "cyg" and Tab, many executables starting with "cyg" are
listed (Display all 262 possibilities? (y or n) y). I find that many of
them are *.dll libraries under /usr/bin/. This is inconvenient to find
the real executable applications (*.exe). Since *.dll files are only
libraries, they are not necessary to have the attribute of "x". Thus, I
run the command "chmod a-x /usr/bin/*.dll". Unexpectedly, cygwin is
corrupted. I closed the terminal and failed to restart Cygwin. I started
my older version of Cygwin (I did not deleted it after installing a new
version), and added "x" to the previous *.dll files. The dead Cygwin
revived.
I am confused why /usr/bin/*.dll should be executable. I thought they
were only library files. When I tried to run a dll file, bash says
"cannot execute binary file". Are there some hidden stories?
The error messages are as follows:
Administrator@acer /usr/bin
$ chmod a-x *.dll
Administrator@acer /usr/bin
