Re: [sos] Autotools and Cygwin?

[Florian Girault]

Hi ralf! thank you very much, this seems to be the problem. In the  
meanwhile I was able to compile it by adjusting some files after  
running configure.
I will create a new mountpoint with binmode set, that might be easier  
to maintain in the future.
Many thanks for your help!
