Hello: This past weekend, I updated the Cygwin installation on my laptop. It broke big-time, because I have a customization that is apparently no longer allowed. Most installations put the root at c:/cygwin, but I put mine at c:/util/cygwin. My attempts to install from three or four mirrors all put the installation at c:/cygwin anyway, and because I didn't bother clearing out my Cygwin tree first, I didn't notice at first what had happened. Luckily for me, the mounts for /lib/ and /usr/bin/ were also changed, so after a bit I found out what was going on.
I'm not going to post my cygcheck -srv here, because I don't want anybody to waste time on my problem yet; I'm still working on it myself. The reason I'm posting this is that I want to give anybody else with a non-standard location for their installation of Cygwin a heads-up. If I run into serious roadblocks, I'll be back! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
