Re: bug in "ar" when creating libraries on cross linked filesystems


Sorry ... I forgot to attach the informations about my system.

I have the problem, that the command "ar" does work on "mounted" partitions.
  ar cq libdh.a a.o b.o
does not work, if the current directory is on a linked filesystem.
The error message of "ar" is:
   ar: libdh.a: rename: Cross-device link
   make: *** [libdh.a] Error 1

The program works, when using local files, e.g. /usr/src or /cygdrive/c.
In the case described above the current directory "." referes
to /cygdrive/h which is mounted with the "Services for Unix" tools from
Microsoft (Version 3.0).
The operating system is Windows XP Professional. I installed cygwin
version 1.5.3(0.90/3/2):

# uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PCHEMPEL2 1.5.3(0.90/3/2) 2003-09-01 13:15 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin


Thanks for your help
Daniel
