Re: setup/symlinks/gcc/chown question


Hi All...

Attached is the output of

strace -o outfile chown -h administrators.none collect2.exe

executed in

/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4

after having reinstalled gcc/mingw tools.

I am using Cygwin chown. (I did mention it in my last email, but it is easy to miss.)

Thanks,

...Karl

Well, I still can't reproduce it and I didn't get any hint that somebody
else can reproduce this.  I tried chmod -R and chown -R on directories
containing symlinks created by a former setup.exe call and the symlinks
were still symlinks afterwards.

Let's restart with my previous mail:
