I wonder if there could be a more simple way, i.e. putting it into a
*.bat script and binding it to an task icon.
I am thinking of something in this sense:
P:/cygwin/bin/ash --exec /bin/rebaseall
As a longterm Linux user I have few experience with windows scripts.
Would be nice to have
I'd beg to differ; I'd suggest it is, as suggested by the OP,
actually quite a common use. You only have to look at the use of
say perl and you will have users quite regularly compiling their
own DLL's as they install modules via CPAN, and this is quite painful
due to all the issues it can
A second thought. I wonder if reabaseall could be improved to run from
within bash, without the need to close down all running windows. Then
it could even be included into build scripts to be run after each
build.
No, because the DLLs used by bash are OFTEN the ones that actually DO
need to

of cygwin.
No, it really isn't.
I quote wikipedia:
Cygwin is used heavily for porting many popular pieces of software to
the Windows platform. It is used to compile Sun Java, OpenOffice.org,
and even server software, like

What I suggest isn't that usefull when you think to base all

moment the user starts to compile his own DLL especially if he used

more people using it for no reason and more problems using it when it is
needed because people don't understand the requirements to make it work

Hi,
I appreciate you take the time to contribute all that information.
Hope it is not only red by me.
Now, surely that is a lot of hunting around -- but I can only assume
that many people did so, since you are apparently the first person to

Hello,
It's familiar that regular programs have a doc, man etc. It's also
familiar that small maintenance scripts don't have. Even your posting
has more lines the he rebaseall script itself. So you wouldn't really

This discussion seems to boil down to Someone should add words about
rebaseall to the FAQ.

If that is the only doc to point to, then you are right.
Alternatively, the recent archives might point to how hard existing docs
are to find.
Good doc is availble. Unfortunatly it is badly linked.
