RE: getpath under cygwin

-----Original Message----- From: xemacs-beta-admin(a)xemacs.org [mailto:xemacs-beta-admin＠xemacs.org]On Behalf Of Tom Howland Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 10:41 AM To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: getpath under cygwin This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! The cygwin release of xemacs 21.4 crashes with cygwin 1.3.6-1. The problem is can be worked around by reverting back to the earlier release of cygwin, cygwin 1.3.5-3 What is happening is that the assert on line 81 of xemacs/src/realpath.c is reached with a null pointer. This happens only when I attempt to open a file that has something to do with /cygdrive. That is, I can open files unless I am using drive letter tricks like /c/temp/foo or /cygdrive/d/baz This is probably related to the changes in cygwin enabling treating /cygdrive as a directory. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TSUNAMI 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) 2001-05-20 23:28 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-dragndrop' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-x=no' '--bindir=/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-netinstall' XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp (Windows)" configured for `i686-pc-cygwin'.
