http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15679 Summary: cygwin symlinks not working in wine Product: Wine Version: 1.1.6 Platform: Other URL: http://cygwin.com OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: dank(a)kegel.com Surprisingly, cygwin seems to work nowadays, as long as you do everything inside a wineconsole running cygwin.bat. (Perhaps cygwin apps should work outside wineconsole; that would be a separate bug report.) However, cygwin's gcc doesn't work unless you replace certain cygwin symlinks with unix ones, e.g. $ cd .wine/drive_c/cygwin/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin $ for a in *; do ln -sf ../../../bin/$a; done Likewise, /bin/vi doesn't work, as it's a symlink to vim.exe. In fact, cygwin's ls -l doesn't even recognize cygwin's symlinks as such: $ ls -l vi -rw-r--r-- 1 dank mkpasswd 18 Oct 19 05:53 vi $ cat vi !<symlink>vim.exe So either they're not being created right, or they're not being recognized properly by cygwin for some reason, or both. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
