Yes, but without the ".exe". (/usr/bin/emacs is a symlink that resolves to either emacs-X11.exe or emacs-nox.exe.)

(/usr/bin/emacs is a symlink that resolves >to either emacs-X11.exe or emacs-nox.exe.) Ah, right. In that case, it would probably be best to do: cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe I don't think cygcheck can resolve a symlink.

I don't have emacs on my machine (vi is the one true editor) but the only difference between the two invocation methods is that if you pass a symlink, cygcheck emits an extra line at the start indicating that it chased a link. Something like this: -> C:\cygwin\bin\emacs-nox.exe I tested this with /bin/infotocap vs. /bin/tic.exe. (Why that pair? It just grabbed my attention first after ls /bin.) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
