Hi All,
I just compiled tar on OS/2 using Innotek GCC.
It builds fine and works fine, except that it chokes on archives with drive
letters.
eg:
[M:\]tar -xvf e:\file.tar
tar: e\:\\file.tar: Cannot open: I/O error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Try to use the '--force-local' tar option:
`--force-local'
Archive file is local even if it contains a colon.
[M:\]tar -xvf e:\file.tar --force-local
Does the error still persist?
Nope - works perfectly with --force-local.
Is there a way to force the --force-local option :)
Cheers,
Paul.
