Version info:
Windows XP Pro SP1
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28
Man 1.5p-1
The makewhatis shell script generates an error message when $PWD contains a
space, e.g. "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/username" The message is:
/usr/sbin/makewhatis: line 380: cd: /cygdrive/c/Documents: No such file or
directory
Apart from the message the script appears to execute correctly.
Changing line 380 from 'cd $here' to 'cd "$here"' fixes the problem.
man-1.6c/src/makewhatis.sh (from
http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/man/) contains the same problem in
line 394.
I'm sending to the cygwin list also since it seems Windows systems are more
likely to have paths with embedded spaces.
Regards,
Bruce
