This will stop Cygwin from trying to fake posix permissions on the files. Your problem is probably that the users on the two machines are different and the Cygwin posix permissions are causing you problems. You might also be able to work around this by using Windows to reset all the permissions on your build folder when you switch computers. See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html> for more details about Cygwin's unix-like object permissions. -- David Rothenberger ---- daveroth_at_acm.org Who loves me will also love my dog. -- John DonneReceived on 2008-10-28 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
