Re: Re: [Mingw-users] MSYS-1.0.8-rc-1.exe available

FYI, I have a maxima.exe but I don't know if it does the right thing. 
Try MSYS-1.0.8-rc-2.exe and see if you get farther.  The ending : 
problem has yet to be fixed.

MSYS rc1 and rc2 and mv.exe

Hi

The version of mv.exe that comes  
with MSYS 1.08 rc1 and rc2 fails if the 
source and target are on different 
drives. The old version works (from 
1.07) okay, and I have reverted to that 
for the time being.

Best regards, The Chief

Re: MSYS rc1 and rc2 and mv.exe

I just tried it and don't see the problem:

mv /a/foo .
mv foo /a/

Hmm... trying to move a directory

mv foo/ /a/

nope, doesn't work.  Thanks for the report.

Earnie.

	Initial report re: rc2 under Win9x after defining appropriate command.com definitions 
(using gcc-2.95.3-6 and -fomit-frame-pointer, -g is not enabled):

		So far there have been no problems under Win98 for simply 
compiling/building, though it appears that Win98 may be choking on something when I 
launch an executable from within the msys/rxvt command prompt.  NT4 does not have this 
problem, as the same executable, built under NT4, does not display the behavior noted 
below.

	Behavior:

		Enter executable name at command prompt (size of .exe is ~1Mb, 
command.com /E:4096) for rxvt.

		Win98 all but freezes up, and numerous systems processes are being 
suspended, apparently due to lack of available resources (Msys/rxvt memory leak maybe 
that only occurs under Win98?).

	Could be that it is the same old resource problem that has always existed for Win98.  
Just thought I'd mention it.

Invoking Bash

I'm desperately trying to find an equivalent of 
"%COMSPEC% /K cmdline" with Bash.
With command.com/cmd.exe, the /K switch
executes 'cmdline' and remains.
I've RTFM and just found the '-c' switch.
eg: 
$ sh --login -i -c 'rm -f toto'

With '-c', Bash executes 'rm -f toto' and terminates.
IOW, '-c' equals to the '/C' switch of command.com/
cmd.exe.

How could I make Bash to execute a command line
and stay open.

Manu.

Not that I'm aware of.  What are you trying to accomplish?  Why do you 
need the subprocess shell to remain open?  Could you put the commands in 
the startup ~/.profile file?

Well, I'd prefer to keep my intentions secret until I succeed... never mind.
Do you know "DOS Prompt Here" from IE 4 power toys? It's an .inf script
which add the following key into the registry:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\DosHere\command]

It's explaned in the cygwin@... list.  You still may not be able 
to execute the command at execution.

Re: Invoking Bash


Perhaps you could try writing a batch file that invokes bash. You need to be
aware that the /etc/profile script does "cd $HOME" so you can't change to
the desired directory before invoking bash. However, you could probably
store the directory path in an environment variable and chdir to it in your
~/.profile script. You might wish to modify /etc/profile but I don't
recommend it because it will be overwritten if you install a new version of
MSYS.
