Could you tell me how to create a symbolic name in msys. That is correct, because native programs such as MinGW's gcc doesn't understand a symbolic link as Cygwin had architected it we changed it to do a copy. I use sysinternals' junction.exe to create a junction point instead. Maybe one day will do the same in MSYS for symbolic links of directories but that will be a long while. -- = Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
