I have a symlink from /usr/local/bin to /3TB-external/bin/CYGWIN to keep architecture independent bin files on an external drive for portability.
every time I run cyg setup.exe it removes the symlink and creates an empty /usr/local/bin directory - is it really supposed to do that? are there some cygwin pkgs (none that I have installed because it has never put anything there) that put files there? (even if there are, it shouldn't zap the symlink) Cygwin 1.7.30-1 CYGWIN_NT-6.1 frog2 1.7.30(0.272/5/3) 2014-05-23 10:36 x86_64 Cygwin -- 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
