1.3.2: Bug fileutil cp -p

[Thomas Jäckel]

Hello,



I am new to cygwin and not reading the mailing list, so it may be a know
problem or not ;-).

While trying to install BerkleyDB the following error occured:



cp -fp db_archive /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/bin/db_archive

cp: preserving times for `/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/bin/db_archive': No such
file or directory

make: *** [install_utilities] Error 1



db_archive in fact is named "db_archive.exe" and it is copied to the correct
place with the

correct extension.

Trying to recompile cp and looking for the error failed, cause after
compiling I got

a different message "xx and xx2 are the same files" ...



If the extensions of executables are handled by the cygwin-DLL, then you
should have a look

at the utime function.

HTH



Thomas
