Ah yes excellent! Even better, now I don't need to create a patch file.
In a single line I can hack Xilinx's Xygwin tools over to Cygwin.
I'm doing the following
for f in $( find edk -name '*.exe' -o -name '*.dll' ) do
vim -b -s xyg2cyg.sed $f
done
where xyg2cyg.sed contains
:%s/xygwin1.dll/cygwin1.dll/g
:wq
Is there a way I can pass these on the command line, without needing a
seperate little script file like this?
Thanks,
John
