Re: Hosts file

Great!
I am doing a make of mysql and am getting the error:

libmysqld/sql_derived.cc: You are trying to create a symlink on a win32 file
system.
This file type is not supported on this platform.

How do I correctly identify file types to cygwin and
correct this error situation?
Sorry for the bother!
Thanks,
Martin
