Re: [Gnu-arch-users] tla cygwin error

[John F Meinel Jr]

tar complained about not finding the path:
implementation-airway-seg-rgrow--dev--0.1--base-0/{arch}/,,inode-sigs/address@hidden
And that path would have been a subdirectory of
/home/jfmeinel/dev/vida/vida/src/plugins/interfaces/airway-seg/,,get*****************
I don't remember what was after the get. But it is a pretty long string.

I have v.12 according to the Changelog.

I don't need to be able to run tla on the same directories. Mostly D is
just because some of the datasets I work on are multiple GB, so I don't
want to copy them to two filesystems. I just put source on there because
it has a lot of space. For tla, it isn't a big deal to put it back on C:.
