Yes, but it suffered from the same problem. (I think MKS is using shared source for both tar and cpio). The problem is that it tries to store/copy . and .. and that results in a "duplicate" in the destination and ends with an error. I started to look at porting GNU tar, but there are file characteristics (meta data) that needs to get "attached" to each file, and I wasn't sure how to do that. I've figured out what HP tar does and may be able to extend GNU tar to do the same ... but still haven't tried it. -- Mark Klein DIS International, Ltd. http://www.dis.com 415-892-8400 PGP Public Key Available From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Mark Klein To: law@cygnus.com Cc: gcc@gcc.gnu.org Subject: Re: MPE Port Date: Thu, 30 Sep 1999 18:02:00 -0000 Message-ID: <4.1.19990908063104.00c24100@garfield.dis.com> References: <4.1.19990906103545.00c8b9a0@garfield.dis.com> <28223.936779766@upchuck.cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 1999-09n/msg00291.html Message-ID: <19990930180200.INGWiiOQX514SozJQ6KtdRMDRVjArgx3fuFLfnhyv8c@z> At 02:36 AM 9/8/99 -0600, Jeffrey A Law wrote: >By chance do you have a functional cpio? > >If so you can change gcc/configure.in to use install-headers-cpio to switch to >cpio instead of tar.
