Interix and Vista - May 16, '06, 5:03:58 PM

Hello,

I�m trying to add the Interix packages to my Vista SUA. The problem is that the package manager wants to use version 6.0 as the baseline in its path. Obviously, Interix packages are 3.5!

I believe this info is being parsed from the UNAME value. Is this correct? How would I get SUA on Vista to �spoof� being version 3.5?

Is this really the issue? Can I force PKG to install from the 3.5 tree?

Thanks!

You're ahead of the curve. You must be a from MS doing a pre-beta2.

The spoofing actually happens here at the ftp site.
The o/p from "uname -r is obviously "6.0" for Vista.
What's your hardware (uname -m) ? This will let me set the sym link here right.

I've made a "6.0-x86" link for right now. That'll cover a lot of the systems.

Thanks! I am a beta tester... ;-)

% uname -m
x86
% uname -a
Interix delbocavista 6.0 SP-6.0.5381.0 x86 Intel_x86_Family6_Model13_Stepping8

It does look like your symlink for 6.0-x86 cures my error.
