Ah, my nightmare returns... The trick to using expect, at least the version you have, is to make sure that paths mean the same thing under cygwin as they do under Windows. This means that "/" should be mounted as the root of your current drive, and any other mount points should reflect actual absolute paths under Windows as well. It's a hack. > How can I get dejagnu (or Expect) to run under cygwin/the bash shell? Try the mount tips. I did some work on our internal tcl/expect to have it build both a nt-native dll and cygwin-native lib version, to avoid these kinds of problems. I don't know if/when I'll be able to get that out to the net, but it wasn't a tricky port. It's an old version of tcl, so I don't know if it would be worth the effort to keep maintaining that version. Anyone want to port the latest tcl/expect to cygwin? -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
