I think that the installable source tar.gz file of cygwin-1.5.25-15 is not what it's supposed to be.
I installed the latest (non-cvs) source using setup.exe, which got me cygwin-1.5.25-15-src.tar.bz2. The specific source file that I care about right now is winsup/cygwin/path.cc. By comparing it to the cvs repsository, I can see that the file in the tarball must be at least 2 years old. (The function I was looking at is conv_path_list(), and the change that might address my problem was made in 1.414, in August of 2006; it's not in the released source file.) The copywrights seem to have been kept up-to-date in the cvs version; the one in the tarball is labeled no later than 2006. Futhermore, the winsup/cygwin directory in the tarball has Changelog files only up through 2005; no 2006 or 2007. The current Changelog with 2008 fixes is there. The repository has the files for 2006 and 2007. So something seems wrong. I also looked at 1.5.25-14; same story. (And I looked on more than one mirror site, just to be sure.) -- 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/
