Re: Problem with ln


rename .../H-i386-cygwin32/bin/install.exe ginstall.exe
rename .../H-i386-cygwin32/bin/ln.exe ln-real.exe
put the 2 scripts in .../H-i386-cygwin32/bin

add this to your ~/.bashrc
ln(){ #hard links for win32
if test x"$*" = x"`echo $*|sed s/-s//`";then
  /bin/install $*
else
  ln-real.exe $* || ln-real.exe $1.exe $2
fi
}
export ln

or upgrade to 5.0/NTFS for native hard links ;^)

Windows vs Linux is a no-win situation.

Windows 95: --  32-bit extensions and a GUI   
shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit OS       
originally coded for a 4-bit processor 
written by a 2-bit company that   
can't produce 1 bit of quality.

ln

install
