I am trying to compile my sourceforge project under cygwin. I have a
fresh installation of the latest version of cygwin. Unfortunately,
something about the configuration of the TEMP directory seems to be
broken. When the programs I run try to create a temp file, they complain
that the temp directory does not exists (see below).
The TEMP directory is set to its default value:
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/gmarceau/LOCALS~1/Temp
That directory exists with the usual long name:
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/gmarceau/Local Settings/Temp
As I understand it, cygwin is supposed to translate the former into the
later on-the-fly, but for some reason that doesn't happen.
-- 530 gmarceau@BROWN-5315A6408 btparse-0.33 $ patch -p1 < ../btparse-0.33.diff
patch: **** Can't create file /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/gmarceau/LOCALS~1/Temp : No such file or directory
Also, program do not seam to respond when I change the TEMP variable. This
is running cygwin under vmware, if this affects anything.
-- 531 gmarceau@BROWN-5315A6408 btparse-0.33 $ echo $TEMP
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/gmarceau/LOCALS~1/Temp
-- 532 gmarceau@BROWN-5315A6408 btparse-0.33 $ export TEMP=c:/DOCUME~1/gmarceau/LOCALS~1/Temp
-- 533 gmarceau@BROWN-5315A6408 btparse-0.33 $ patch -p1 < ../btparse-0.33.diff
patch: **** Can't create file /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/gmarceau/LOCALS~1/Temp : No such file or directory
The problem affect other programs as well, beside patch. For instance, the
ocamlyacc compiler also break:
-- 534 gmarceau@BROWN-5315A6408 ocamlyacc -v queryPar.mly
ocamlyacc: f - cannot open "/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/gmarceau/LOCALS~1/Temp"
Thank for any help.
