Hey all,

I was compiling mg (the OpenBSD microemacs editor), and it was using MAXNAMLEN for filename completion. It had a bug because its value in Cygwin is 256 (too low!). We changed it to NAME_MAX which is 1024 and it works, but I think they should have the same value, so MAXNAMLEN should be updated to 1024, shouldn't it?

CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW 2.3.1(0.291/5/3) i686, on Win7-64bit.

Thanks!


on 2.5.1

cd  /usr/include

$ grep -rH MAXNAMLEN *
...
dirent.h:#define MAXNAMLEN 1024
....
tcl8.5/unix/tclUnixPort.h:#     define MAXNAMLEN 255

from where your build is taking MAXNAMLEN ?
