Re: [Pnet-developers] ilgac on cygwin

[Boris Manojlovic]

Hi Radek,

hmm interesting point, what just crossed my mind is that NTFS supports so called junctions (and yes ms.NET is using it for internal workings)

look into urls below
http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-create-hardlinks-junctions-and-symboliclinks-on-windows/
http://shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=284

so point is if we work on windows with ntfs (most machines today) we can support same behavior of ilgac and have same code base.

Hello,
I have a few questions regarding ilgac on windows.

On windows we dont have symlinks, so ilgac works differently from linux.
After doing make install in pnetlib i am getting this directory:

c:\temp\cygwin\lib\cscc\lib
|
+--- 2.0.0.0
+--- mscorlib.dll
+--- System.Dll
+--- ... and so on

The 2.0.0.0 subdirectory is empty except one file pinvoke.map.

Is this directory layout ok? I think that this way GAC cannot work.

Another problem is that make uninstall in pnetlib actually does not work.

Problem seems to be that ilgac installs files in default gac directory:
copying ./mscorlib.dll to C:\temp\cygwin\lib\cscc\lib/mscorlib.dll

but when i do make uninstall it tries to delete files from 2.0.0.0
directory:
removing C:\temp\cygwin\lib\cscc\lib/2.0.0.0/mscorlib.dll

Anybody has idea how should the gac dir after install/uninstall look like?

Thanks

Radek
