Hi.
I'm trying to install cygwin on a network drive, either with unc paths or with drive letters.
Assuming that M: is the network drive I try to install from M:\cygarch into M:\cygwin with SETUP.
All works well up to gcc. Gcc produces a ntvdm exception when compiling which can be
trace to cygwin's way of implementing symbolic links
type libg.a
!<symlink>libcygwin.a
This way of "linking" works fine on local drives but fails on my networked drive.
Any clues, hints or workarounds for this?
Thanks in advance
Markus
