Summary: cygwin symlinks not working in wine
Product: Wine
Version: 1.1.6
Platform: Other
URL: http://cygwin.com
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Keywords: download, source
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com
Surprisingly, cygwin seems to work nowadays,
as long as you do everything inside a wineconsole
running cygwin.bat. (Perhaps cygwin apps should
work outside wineconsole; that would be a separate
bug report.)
However, cygwin's gcc doesn't work unless you
replace certain cygwin symlinks with unix ones, e.g.
$ cd .wine/drive_c/cygwin/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin
$ for a in *; do ln -sf ../../../bin/$a; done
Likewise, /bin/vi doesn't work, as it's a symlink to vim.exe.
In fact, cygwin's ls -l doesn't even recognize cygwin's symlinks as such:
$ ls -l vi
-rw-r--r-- 1 dank mkpasswd 18 Oct 19 05:53 vi
$ cat vi
!<symlink>vim.exe
So either they're not being created right, or they're
not being recognized properly by cygwin for some reason,
or both.
