Hi All,
I have read all docs and couldn't solve my problem. In a make file I have:
cd foo && tar blah blah | tar -C j:/foobar
Now I run the make file from the l: drive (so l:/foo exists).
The problem is that when the tar on the right gets run, it tries to place
the files in the directory:
/cygdrive/l/foo/j:/foobar
which of course isn't a valid directory.
I know I can solve it by not going over another filesystem, but that isn't
ideal.
Any ideas? (I am running latest net release on W2K. l: and j: are mapped
drives. I also tried mounting them, didn't solve a thing. WinNT Ver 5.0
build 2195,
Cygwin DLL version i dll major: 1001 dll minor: 4 dll epoch: 19)
Regards,
Jon
