* mount.cc (mount_info::from_fstab_line): Support mounting the current user's temp folder as /tmp/. This is particularly useful a feature when Cygwin's own files are write-protected. * pathnames.xml: document the new usertemp file system type Detailed explanation: In the context of Windows, there is a per-user directory for temporary files, by default specified via the environment variable %TEMP%. Let's allow to use that directory for our /tmp/ directory. With this patch, we introduce the special filesystem type "usertemp": By specifying none /tmp usertemp binary,posix=0 0 0 in /etc/fstab, the /tmp/ directory gets auto-mounted to the directory specified by the %TEMP% variable. This feature comes handy in particularly in scenarios where the administrator might want to write-protect the entire Cygwin directory yet still needs to allow users to write into the /tmp/ directory. This is the case in the context of Git for Windows, where the Cygwin (MSys2) root directory lives inside C:\Program Files and hence /tmp/ would not be writable otherwise.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
