When I run the installer and start up Git Bash I have an empty directory under /mingw.
I do have mingw installed in the default location C:\MinGW. I am running Vista32. The -rc2 installer does not give me the mount command that I have with the netinstall. So I try this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # ln c:/MinGW mingw ln: `c:/MinGW': hard link not allowed for directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # ln -s c:/MinGW mingw ln: creating symbolic link `mingw' to `c:/MinGW': No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # cd mingw/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw # l bin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw # cd bin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw/bin # l [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw/bin # So I can delete the mingw directory and create a symbolic link with ln -s, but: - That fails with "ln: creating symbolic link `mingw' to `c:/MinGW': No such file or directory". - But it still creates a new mingw directory. - which contains an empty "bin" directory (very strange)??? - and does not show the contents of my C:\MinGW. Now I admit I am a newbie, but I am truely lost at explaining to myself how that can be happening. Could someone please shed some insight on this? I searched through the group but didn't come up with a match, so a pointer to a previous post would be good enough unless this is really a bug.
