It's not a case of using the same workaround. With 1.5, the make manifypods target would first build the PODs, then create the manpages, and would fail when trying to create a manpage containing '::' (as it did not use a managed mount). gtk2-perl.cygclass would then catch the error, and then proceed to use a similar procedure to generate the manpages with a '.' instead. With 1.7, there is no such issue; make manifypods builds OOTB. So any such workaround would have to be caught in the cygport postinstall stage, maybe in __prepman(). But I'm not sure that it would be at all necessary. > Rationale: Support for : in filenames in 1.7 only works with local NTFS > and remote NFS drives; local non-NTFS and remote samba volumes will > fail.

Really? I thought that was the rule for case-sensitivity, not illegal chars: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-08/msg00079.html Yaakov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAkiw4P8ACgkQpiWmPGlmQSMW9QCfXwFrkPuGKSQN+rtz+yoQMPTL TLkAn0JAxLzGHdiwx0dLWlxM2lqcTyHn =CGYS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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/
