SUMMARY
=======
This article explains configuration scripts in Interix.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following is a list of configuration script properties:
- Interix does not have a single root file system. The file system on Interix
exists on multiple drives, each of which has its own root.
- Interix does not have a standard file hierarchy. The predefined file
hierarchy is offset from the root of a drive by some directory sub tree. The
value of this offset is available in the Interix environment from the value
of the shell variable Interix_ROOT or with the "getconf CS_INSTALLEDDIR"
(without the quotation marks) command. As a side effect, the pathname
"/bin/sh" (without the quotation marks) does not find the sh interpreter
unless the Interix_ROOT is the root of the current drive.
- The structure of Interix header files is unique.
- The traditional cc interface prints output only when an error occurs. The
Microsoft C compiler and the Interix cc driver writes the name of every file
compiled to standard output. This is fixed in the most recent version of cc
for Interix.
- Not all of the system calls have entry points in libc.a. Many calls have
entry points in the dynamic library psxdll.a which is loaded for all Interix
processes.
