RE: 1.3.2: no uname


Did you run setup.exe to do your install, and did you remember
to select shellutils?  (or better yet install all as recommended
in recent posts on this list).

shellutils is the package that contains uname.exe and it gets installed
in the bin directory by default:

$ type uname
uname is /bin/uname

You're probably also missing other useful stuff like date, basename,
dirname, hostname, nice, sleep, stty, pwd too right?  I'm not sure
how things would be running nicely at all without those either...
or without any of the shellutils for that matter.

Getting both 1.3.2-1 and the earlier one, there's no "uname" included,
making it in reality impossible to use.

I hunted hi and lo, even trying to recompile it - but since it needs uname
for configure to be run...

Since this seems to have been a long-standing problem I'm a bit surprised I
haven't found any info on it on neither a WWW-search nor at the cygwin site.
