While trying to compile perl5.004 I ran across a problem with
the Configure script on NT4.0
To run this, I first started a cmd prompt (ms-dos prompt or
whatever they call them these days) and ran bash, I then
did sh Configure and everything was fine until it tried
to create the .config dir.
Looking at the Configure script it appeared to be trying to
do mkdir ../.config which failed.
When I tried to do this manually it also failed!!
In fact ls ../ didn't work! If, however I do ls ../ from
the dos prompt it works fine.
Is there some problem with file name resolution/globbing
when running in 'UNIX' land??
I did a trace of ls (STRACE=5) and there is a line:
\\.\d:\gnuwin32\b18\.\u:\gnu\perl\cygnus\perl5.004_01\ =
conv_to_win32_path (../)
Which to me looks very strange, ../ should be
u:\gnu\perl\cygnus\perl5.004_01\ I would have thought.
Any ideas??
Andy
