http://www.saigonist.com/taxonomy/term/8/all en http://www.saigonist.com/content/cygwin-mkshortcut-unicode-windows-filename-support <p>Cygwin comes with utilities for dealing with Windows-style shortcut files. readshortcut will output the file path that a shortcut links to (and more) and mkshortcut can create Windows shortcuts. However, there is currently one limitation. Windows filenames are in Unicode and have certain other limitations that Posix filenames do or don't have. The current Cygwin mkshortcut doesn't deal with such Unicode filenames. However, you can patch it so that it does.</p> <p>1.
