I have some precompiled binaries (from, e.g., ocaml, gtk+). When I install them to a location like D:\OCaml\bin and run them, the output has a ^M at the end of every line. When I copy the binaries to a cygwin path (something that doesn't get translated to /cygdrive/), they work fine. This messes with all of my build scripts, which except things like `ocamlc -where` not to have a trailing ^M. So I tried moving them to D:\cygwin64\, and this fixed some of the problems, but it's still broken in some cases, like when `ocamlc -where` gives "D:/cygwin64/OCaml/lib" and then a build script later calls `D:/cygwin64/OCaml/bin/ocamlc -where`, and the ^M's come back. It seems very broken to me that the output of an executable should depend in this way on how it's called. If it's relevant, I updated cygwin-x86_64 earlier today, and mount gives me $ mount D:/cygwin64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) D:/cygwin64/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) D:/cygwin64 on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) E: on /cygdrive/e type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Y: on /cygdrive/y type afs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Z: on /cygdrive/z type afs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
Anyway, I'd like to know how to fix this without manually sticking in code to strip ^M in all of my build scripts.
