Created attachment 2578 patch for mount point list on interix I ported exo to interix. most things work out of the box, but exo requires two small fixes: an implementation of how to determine the list of mounted filesystems (i'll attach a patch for that), and a little help for the configure script, which detects getmntent (don't ask why - i don't know. however getmntent is _not_ present on interix). i worked around this by setting ac_cv_func_getmntent=no for now. questions? :)
Is there not difference between active and configured file systems on interix? Anything like an /etc/fstab and when you (un)mount the drive is it added/removed from /dev/fs/?
Created attachment 2590 Preferred layout I also prefer more usage of glib, like in the patch attached.

(In reply to comment #2) > I also prefer more usage of glib, like in the patch attached. ah, ok, thanks for doing the required work then ;) is there any more to do?
Created attachment 2592 Patch for mount point list on interix, v2 Ok well in that case we don't have to duplicate the code. Please try the new patch and check if everything works as expected, preferably compile with --enable-debug=full, to see if there are any errors in the code. For your convenience I've put a tarball with the patch applied here: http://foo-projects.org/~nick/packages/exo-0.3.102git-c7cf93e.tar.bz2
Any news on this?
Hey - sorry for the long delay! i now tested the patch on interix with 0.3.104. it applies, and builds fine. is there an easy way to verify, that it works as expected? all the exo-* executables at least seem to (at least) start without unresolved symbols or stuff ;) if "no build failure" is enough info, please go ahead and commit ... :) Cheers, Markus
Exo-mount uses the code. But it is fixed this even better: we dropped the ExoMountPoint code in master and use GIO, which obviously also supports Interix. So thanks for testing anyway. Marking as fixed since I assume the GIO code works fine.
huu... hopefully :) i touched that one too some time ago ;) thanks for the work though!
