Yowza. The default mount point for the / is the root of the
device upon which
it is resides. To correct this problem all that needs to
happen is from MSDOS
do `mkdir F:\tmp'.
You ignored the part of the original mail which stated User rather than
Admin rights. Same for me here, and prohibits using C:\, as well as many
other directories.
Besides, didn't you read the warning about spaces in path
names. Not a good
idea at all.
So what? Works with everything but ActivePerl. And as that is not a Cygwin
program, I put it into into C:\Winnt.
The beauty is of course that it still runs fine under Cygwin via a symlink
from /usr/bin/perl to its actual location.
