- Subject: about base-files
Hi,
FYI
package version : base-files-3.9-3.tar.bz2
postinstall message :
running: D:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
=> should export CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning
How about to add the followed lines to the beginning of the
base-files-mketc.sh script ?
case $CYGWIN in
*nodosfilewarning*) ;;
*) CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning export CYGWIN
# well, maybe CYGWIN="$CYGWIN nodosfilewarning" ?
exec /bin/bash --norc --noprofile $0 ;;
esac
