Hi all . . . .
Looked everywhere - can't find or deduce solution.
I run bash in a typical way - double clicking an icon created
during cygwin installation. It points to the cygnus.bat file.
I'm running the beta 20.1.
However, I have a problem that manifests itself during a make.
My /bin/sh is there and it's not bash, but the borne shell from
the distribution.
Distilling the problem to take make out of the equation . . . .
and make things simpler . . . problem show below.
-Problem-
BASH.EXE-2.02$ /bin/sh.exe
$ mkdir xxx
mkdir: permission denied
--------
I believe permissions are a moot point in win98, so I don't
know why this is behaving that way. Seems very simple, but
. . . I just don't see it.
$ ls > xxx functions just fine.
Thanks,
Rob Morris
