Is your CYGWIN environment variable set to ntsec?
In my experience with Clearcase and cygwin, cygwin can do permissions on
NTFS, but has weird errors on things like MVFS and Samba shares. I would
not be surprised if TAS ran into similar weird permissions problems when
using cygwin. Have you
IIRC, if you check the archives, you should find that the behavior of
sourcing the .bashrc file in /etc/profile was discontinued in later
cygwin releases. The fact that you have it from over a year ago is
probably because the cygwin install does not overwrite files that have
been modified or
I actually asked this same question 29 October 2001. If you use google

I am hoping some people can give me ideas on how to debug a problem I am
having with rm when invoked from cygwin's make.exe, which is using sh as
its shell. Basically, when I call rm -r -f from a makefile, it gives
me errors about Permission Denied, Directory Not Empty. This is the
same error
You forgot to mention that the first email is free, and each additional
email after that is $3.99. And if you need answers right now about your
cygwin problem, cygwin psychics are waiting by the phone because they
know you are about to call. What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone
and
Do you have a correct /etc/passwd file? That file lists your home
directory, but if cygwin cannot access your home dir, it might give that
error. Also, is $HOME defined in your environment? You could define it
in windows or in the cygwin.bat file.

Sounds like a problem with starting env directly from the command shell.
Like he said, don't start cygwin programs from non-cygwin programs, i.e.
don't run env from the command shell- use bash instead.
From a cmd shell-
cmd set cAsE=sEnSiTiVe
cmd env | grep -i case

You need to use the setup.exe program that is available from cygwin.com
to download and install any of the packages that come in the cygwin
distribution. Simply select gcc from the list of packages to download
and install, and it will install it correctly.

I don't think that faq would have avoided or truncated this thread. It

If someone followed the instructions in the faq, they would have had a
