This might actually be the case, but I don't understand the point. If you don't want to work with Windows, why release for Windows?
Hi!
Installed latest cygwin and I met problems with bash and scripts which are in DOS format.
$ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.1.17(9)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
I read the mailing lists and I also tried to add ' shopt -s igncr;#' in the beginning of the script, but it didn't work. In my opinion, this is bad solution if I have to edit all my existing scripts.
All works fine with bash 3.1.6.
What I should do?
a) install bash 3.1.6 and wait for new
b) install bash 3.1.9. and convert all my scripts to UNIX format
b), i.e., use the tool the way it was designed to be used.
Thanks, Rob
