Dear all, This was mentioned last Dec on sage-devel, that on Cygwin ECL call > (directory "") sometimes can return NIL. This breaks ASDF scripts, etc. (this is a symptom of a bigger problem, certainly).
Here is a more detailed description of the problem, that is still present in ECL 11.1.1: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13343 In particular, the problem goes away if one turns the case-sensitivity on, as described on http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive (which is of course a measure of last resort). Best, Dima PS. I cannot test with the git version of ECL, as it does not build on Cygwin at the moment: one gets: error: ‘struct ecl_codeblock’ has no member named ‘error namely: dpp: /home/Dima/ecl2012/src/c/ffi/libraries.d -> ffi/libraries.o.c gcc -DECLDIR="\"/usr/local/lib/ecl-12.7.1\"" -I. -I/home/Dima/ecl2012/build -I/home/Dima/ecl2012/src/c -I../ecl/gc -DECL_API -DECL_NO_LEGACY -g -O2 -Dcygwin -c -o ffi/libraries.o ffi/libraries.o.c /home/Dima/ecl2012/src/c/ffi/libraries.d: In function ‘ecl_library_error’: /home/Dima/ecl2012/src/c/ffi/libraries.d:434:23: error: ‘struct ecl_codeblock’ has no member named ‘error’ Makefile:80: recipe for target `ffi/libraries.o' failed make[2]: *** [ffi/libraries.o] Error 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
