Re: sh crashes when executing msgfmt

[Bob McGowan <rmcgowan at veritas dot com>]

Andreas,

I'm a bit confused about what you're saying here.  Are you saying the error is 
not 'msgfmt: not found'?  In other words, the script is really finding msgfmt.exe?

I'm confused because the rest of your statement seems to indicate you may have 
copied msgfmt.exe into c:/cygwin/usr/bin using some windows utility (cmd shell, 
Windows Explorer, etc).  Since Cygwin makes a mount point of /usr/bin that 
refers back to /bin, there will be nothing in c:/cygwin/usr/bin as seen from 
Windows Explorer.  And from a Cygwin utility, anything copied to 
c:/cygwin/usr/bin by a Windows tool would be hidden by the mount of /bin over 
/usr/bin.

But if this is true and msgfmt.exe is hidden for this reason, the error would in 
fact be 'msgfmt: not found'.
