Has anyone seen behavior like this:
On Cygwin 1.3.18 I am seeing strange failures with trying to use
strings. Strings does not seem able to see some files yet 'ls' shows
them, 'od -cx' shows them. Also gcc has similar problem in that it is
reporting: no such file or directory on some compiles.
$strings /lib/libc.a
d:\mingw\bin\strings.exe: /lib/libc.a: No such file or directory
(This happens for any file in /lib)
$ls -l /lib/libc.a
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 745742 Dec 25 2002 /lib/libc.a
$od -cx /lib/libc.a

Any ideas what may be causing strings to fail?
thx,

You mean, aside from the fact that you aren't using Cygwin's "strings"?
MinGW programs aren't aware of Cygwin mounts. I suspect you're using
MinGW gcc as well.

Igor,
Of course. I just started a new shell and things seem to be working
correctly now. I must have changed some define that got things
confused.
thx,
Gerry Reno
