Re: Cygwin /tmp\foo behaviour

["Trevor Forbes" <trevorforbes at ozemail dot com dot au>]

Well ....... I finally got it (X11 at least) to compile with Cygwin 1.1.2

TEMP had be set  eg TEMP=E:\Temp
and  TMPDIR had to be unset.
This is the only way it would compile.

I then set TMP=E:\Temp and it still compiled.

Strange?

Chris, Suhaib - thanks for the help
