I can wrap the other path in the condition in $(readlink -f ...) and it works normally but this may not be the best approach here. Alternatives, suggestions? In this pre-package there is a check/test program and a DLL - is there another package I could use as a template for how to split this into two packages?
I assume you are building under some link structure. I was hit by long time by it as I was using /pub -> /cygdrive/d/cyg_pub and building in it. Two options: 1) patch cygport I proposed something for that case https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2020-April/039990.html 2) mount the directory instead of using links. I put this in my fstab and removed the link d:\cyg_pub /pub NTFS binary,posix=1,nouser 0 0 Regards Marco
