I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious, but is the 'file' command or
equivalent available anywhere?

I've been looking in the GNU textutils, fileutils, findutils, etc. and
haven't found it.

Thanks very much,

Todd Goodman

Look at the GNU Homepage. There you will find the original
sources. Only one patch is needed, because
#include <sys/sysmacros.h> isn't available in cygwin.

RE: file

Thanks very much for the information.  However, I'm still unable to find the
proper package either at
http://www.gnu.org or ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu .

Do you have the proper package name?

I appreciate the patch and will use it as soon as I find the package with
fsmagic.c in it.  :-)

Thanks again,

Todd

Accualy the command file doesn't seem to be a gnu product.

I found the lastest version for the orginal site found on sunsite's lsm
file.

ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/file-3.26.tar.gz

Laters,
Leif

p.s. Rember that B20 doesn't use __CYGWIN32__ anymore it has __CYGWIN__
for your patch below :)

OOOPS!

Do you see my red head? Your answers gave me the decisive tip:
The sources, I've used, were not from the gnu page, but
from Linux sources, version file-3.22. Sorry, sorry, sorry!

The file-3.26, mentioned by Leif, is the newest version of it.
I have download and compiled it. The patchfile is attached.
My mail to you, Todd, were too fast written. Compiling the
3.26 shows another problem, the missing "#include <errno.h>"
in three files.

> p.s. Rember that B20 doesn't use __CYGWIN32__ anymore it has __CYGWIN__

Correct! The patchfile contains the patch for both versions (b19 and
b20).

Corinna

Re: file

Wouldn't it be better to have a file
sys/sysmacros.h and have it in:

#ifndef _SYS_SYSMACROS_H
#define _SYS_SYSMACROS_H

#define major(dev) (((unsigned) (dev))>>8)
#define minor(dev) ((dev)&0xff)
#define makedev(major,minor) (((major)<<8)|(minor))

#endif

(I got this from linux)

Yes,
agree!

I will
suggest
this file
(which I
already
have
copied
from
Linux at
my local
system :)
to be part
of
official
Cygnus
environment.
