for cygwin-b20.1 on w98:
i remember reading something about the mounting-system changing between b20.1 and the current snapshots (or something similar to that, hopefully), so maybe this is irrelevant to those
but what exactly could cause "mount" to say that a pathname does not exist, when it looks definitely like it does?
eg:
== == == ==
% mount -b c:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/h-i586-cygwin32/bin /bin
returns:
"Warning: /bin does not exist!"
( and
% cd /bin
% dir
shows all o.k.)
== == == ==
also, if i'm mounting /bin like that, will it cause things in ~/i586-cygwin32/bin to be ignored? or are those things a redundancy for someone not currently doing cygwin-builds for multiple platforms?
( and is i586 any different than what might be built on an AMD K6 ?)
thanks

Did you do the cd to, and dir of, /bin _after_ running the mount
command? If so, the association of "/bin" to the directory
"c:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/h-i586-cygwin32/bin" has been made and a cd to
/bin will "translate" to the other.
Try doing a "cd /" and "ls". If "bin" does not show up in the output,
then that is what "mount" is complaining about. I just tried this and
the results follow (directory name is different since I have a /bin
already):
$ ls houdini
ls: houdini: No such file or directory
$ mount -b i:/ $PWD/houdini
Warning: /home/bob/houdini does not exist!
$ ls
Company Info downloads projects
archives inputrc tmp
bin mail tools
broadcasts megami
cygwin stuff mymail
$ cd houdini
/home/bob/houdini
