Subject: RFC: Adding a check to the top level configure script for a binary-mounted cygwin-hosted build directory
Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 12:52:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3odkbity0.fsf@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi Paolo, Hi Alex,
May I ask for your advice on a configure script matter ?
The Binutils bug PR 4334 has pointed out the problems of trying to
build a toolchain under Cygwin with a build directory mounted in
text mode. So, I think that it is agreed that toolchains should
only be built on bin-mounted drives and I would like the configure
script to make sure that this happens.
I am attaching a provisional patch which I think will do what I
want, but I would like to get your comments it. I tested the
patch under both Cygwin and Linux, and it does not appear to
introduce any new problems, so I am reasonably confident that it
works. But I am not at all sure that I have used the best approach
to the problem. Your comments ?
Cheers
Nick
