Could any one be pleased give some more detail about mount command while
building development tools for ARM arm-elf.
(eg. how to set the TMP TMPDIR TEMP ) what will be like after mounting?
Thanks a lot.
from the web:
All users of Cygwin should verify that their /tmp directory (or the
directory specified by the TMPDIR, TMP or TEMP environment variables) is
mounted in binary mode. If this is not the case the patches will apply, but
the build will later fail. You may verify this using the Cygwin mount
command. If /tmp is not explicitly listed, the entry for / will be used. If
it says "textmode" for this entry, use the following command from a Cygwin
bash prompt:
mount -f -b c:/cygwin/tmp /tmp
You may need to substitute another path for c:/cygwin if Cygwin was
installed to another directory.
Q: How could I check which is the directory specified by the TMPDIR, TMP or
TEMP environment variables? which should be textmode which shold be binary
mode?
