This is still failing for me on cygwin: > + ln -s /home/eblake/coreutils/src/echo ./-i > + case `PATH="$PATH:" env -i echo good` in > ++ > PATH='/home/eblake/coreutils/src:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:' > ++ env -i echo good > env: echo: No such file or directory > + fail=1 In other words, cygwin's execvp can't find /bin/echo once -i cleaned the environment. > +case `env -i -- PATH=. -i no-echo` in > + no-echo) ;; > *) fail=1 ;; > esac In a similar vein, cygwin REQUIRES that path include /bin, in order to find cygwin1.dll; restricting to just dot is too tight: > + case `env -i -- PATH=. -i no-echo` in > ++ env -i -- PATH=. -i no-echo > + fail=1 Also, did you really mean to include -i twice in that line? I'll play with this some more and propose a patch later. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
