That is, dos mode makes the cygwin implied file system mounts "textmode" instead of "binarymode". Doing this should not threaten one's purity, wholesomeness or faith. But it does allow source navigator's "configure" to detect the presence of MSVC++, various header files, library functions, etc. Theoretically, one could set default options for grep, flex, etc. to accomplish the same thing, but this is significantly harder than just setting the filesystem to textmode. Why *wouldn't* you want to do that? -----Original Message----- From: Randall R Schulz [mailto:rrschulz@cris.com] Sent: Monday, 18 March 2002 09:09 To: Bruce Edson; Wu Fan; sourcenav@sources.redhat.com Subject: RE: Question about the snavigator compliation under win98 Bruce, Wu, Many Cygwin users are going to be unwilling to use "DOS-mode" mounts (I know I am). Perhaps these grep options would help (from the output of "grep --help"): -U, --binary do not strip CR characters at EOL (MSDOS) -u, --unix-byte-offsets report offsets as if CRs were not there (MSDOS) Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA At 08:20 2002-03-18, Bruce Edson wrote: >Having just run across a similar problem, what we found was that the >install of Cygwin needs to have the default text file type set as >'DOS'.
