Yes, they can. But if you delete them you will have to download them again
if you want to reinstall for some reason.

Cygwin will run fine without the "latest" directory present.

Cygwin bash shell

[Remo.Badii]

Dear programmers,

I have installed the cygwin bash shell on an NT PC.
I'd like to know whether the contents of the directory
"latest" (all gzipped) can be safely removed once
everything runs.
Thank you.

Yours sincerely,


Remo Badii

Becky,

I just cut and pasted your script into a file and it ran just fine
(under both bash and ash).  I had to assign a value manually to PLAT, so
the my first question is where are you setting it?  And how?

Cygwin Bash shell

[Becky Purdie]

		I think I've found a possible bug with the new version of
cygwin bash shell. What I'm trying to do is compare a variable in an 'if'
statement. It works correctly using the bash shell installed on my Solaris
box but not correctly on Windows using GNU bash. I'm using version
2.04.0(1)-release (i586-pc-cygwin0). Please let me know if this is a known
bug and if there is a "fix" for this problem....Thanks!
		Here is the code:

  	 echo $PLAT

		if  [ "$PLAT" = "SunOS" ]; then           
		         PerfTree=/perf
		        echo $PerfTree
		        BowHome=/bowstreet
		        echo $BowHome
		        BinDir=$PerfTree/SolarisBin
		elif [ "$PLAT" = "CYGWIN_NT-4.0" ]; then
		        PerfTree=//z/performance
		        echo $PerfTree
		        BowHome=//c/bowstreet
		        echo $BowHome
		        BinDir=$PerfTree/NT4Bin
		else
		echo "Unable to assign variables!"
		fi


		The output indicates that the $PLAT variable is not
recognized within the square brackets [ ]'s. 
		Here's the output (in bash -x mode):

		SunOS
		 = SunOS ']'
		 =CYGWIN_NT-4.0 ']'
		Unable to assign variables!


		BUT when I run it on my Solaris Box, it runs fine and
assigns the variables correctly!
