What is /usr/local/bin pointing to? How about /usr/local, /usr/cygnus and /cygdrive? I am confused about what are they used for and what should they point to? Are they needed in general or only for specific tools? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Buckley [ mailto:peter.buckley@cportcorp.com ] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 1:24 PM To: 'Cheuk Cheng'; cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: RE: mounts in gnupro99r1p1 Cygwin tools would be located in c:\cygwin\bin, if you install in the default location. Cygwin prepends /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin to your path, and the mounts would be- c:\cygwin\bin to /usr/bin c:\cygwin to / c:\cygwin\usr\sbin to /usr/sbin If you set your path system or user variable, you can use cygwin/gnupro from other shells than the bash shell. I have in my system PATH variable on NT- %the typical path%;C:\cygwin\bin so I can use cygwin from emacs and dos without opening a bash shell. You can enter whatever location your gnupro tools are, and your cygwin tools, without worrying about mount.

I use the following with the Cygwin I recently get from the web. I also have gnupro99r1p1 installed under d:\cygnus\gnupro99-r1p1. When I run the default gnupro.bat file created by the gnupro99r1p1 installer, it just opens a DOS window within Win2k. Since the installer put certain command line tools like ls.exe, bash.exe, etc. under d:\cygnus\unsupported-99r1\H-i686-cygwin32\bin while other programs like gcc.exe are placed into d:\cygnus\gnupro-99r1p1\H-i686-cygwin32\bin. As a result, entering ls after running bash.exe does not work. My questions are what mounts/paths does Cygwin used to locate a tool? Do I always need to mount /, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/local and /usr/cygnus? What should they normally be set to (especially gnupro99r1p1 has two different directories for storing the tools)? d:\cygnus\latest\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode) d:\cygnus\latest\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode) d:\cygnus\latest on / type user (binmode) d:\cygnus\latest on /usr/local type user (textmode) d:\cygnus\latest on /usr/cygnus type user (binmode) c:\temps on /tmp type user (textmode) c: on /c type user (textmode) d: on /d type user (textmode) e: on /e type user (textmode) g: on /g type user (textmode) k: on /cygdrive/k type user (binmode,noumount) m: on /cygdrive/m type user (binmode,noumount) n: on /cygdrive/n type user (binmode,noumount) u: on /cygdrive/u type user (binmode,noumount) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
