- Subject: New handling of .exe extension might break install
The handling of .exe extension apparently changed from 1.5 to 1.7.
The new handling might break 'make install' targets which do not use
$(EXEEXT).
(It actually does for grub-1.97)
Testcase:
$ cygcheck -f /bin/cygwin1.dll /bin/install.exe
coreutils-6.10-2
cygwin-1.5.25-15
$ mkdir inst1 inst2
$ install /bin/echo inst1
$ install -s /bin/echo inst2
$ ls -1 inst?/*
inst1/echo.exe
inst2/echo.exe
$ cygcheck -f /bin/cygwin1.dll /bin/install.exe
coreutils-7.0-2
cygwin-1.7.1-1
$ mkdir inst1 inst2
$ install /bin/echo inst1
$ install -s /bin/echo inst2
$ ls -1 inst?/*
inst1/echo
inst2/echo.exe
