RE: mounts in gnupro99r1p1

[Peter Buckley <peter dot buckley at cportcorp dot com>]

Cygwin tools would be located in c:\cygwin\bin, 
if you install in the default location. 
Cygwin prepends 

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin

to your path, and the mounts
would be-
 
c:\cygwin\bin to /usr/bin
c:\cygwin to /
c:\cygwin\usr\sbin to /usr/sbin

If you set your path system or user variable, 
you can use cygwin/gnupro from other shells 
than the bash shell. I have in my system PATH
variable on NT-

%the typical path%;C:\cygwin\bin

so I can use cygwin from emacs and dos without 
opening a bash shell.
You can enter whatever location your gnupro 
tools are, and your cygwin tools, without 
worrying about mount.

HTH,
Peter

Subject: mounts in gnupro99r1p1


I am new to GNU and am confused about how to set up device mounts in
general.  I use the following with the Cygwin I recently get from the web.
I also have gnupro99r1p1 installed under d:\cygnus\gnupro99-r1p1.  When I
run the default gnupro.bat file created by the gnupro99r1p1 installer, it
just opens a DOS window within Win2k.  Since the installer put certain
command line tools like ls.exe, bash.exe, etc. under
d:\cygnus\unsupported-99r1\H-i686-cygwin32\bin while other programs like
gcc.exe are placed into d:\cygnus\gnupro-99r1p1\H-i686-cygwin32\bin.  As a
result, entering ls after running bash.exe does not work.  My questions are
what mounts/paths does Cygwin used to locate a tool?  Do I always need to
mount /, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/local and /usr/cygnus?  What should they
normally be set to (especially gnupro99r1p1 has two different directories
for storing the tools)?

d:\cygnus\latest\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
d:\cygnus\latest\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
d:\cygnus\latest on / type user (binmode)
d:\cygnus\latest on /usr/local type user (textmode)
d:\cygnus\latest on /usr/cygnus type user (binmode)
c:\temps on /tmp type user (textmode)
c: on /c type user (textmode)
d: on /d type user (textmode)
e: on /e type user (textmode)
g: on /g type user (textmode)
k: on /cygdrive/k type user (binmode,noumount)
m: on /cygdrive/m type user (binmode,noumount)
n: on /cygdrive/n type user (binmode,noumount)
u: on /cygdrive/u type user (binmode,noumount)
