Inside bash (17.1 release), the c: drive is mounted as /. The following works: bash$ ls -l /foo/bar.c -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 795 Jan 02 15:44 /foo/bar.c bash$ cl /c c:/foo/bar.c Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 10.20.6166 for 80x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-1996.

Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/foo/bar' Command line error D2003 : missing source filename Apparently, cl.exe is making some assumptions about its command line arguments that aren't accounted for in cygwin.dll's path tranlation scheme? I suspect other MS apps may suffer the same problem... -- Ed Huott Pinebush Technologies, Inc. - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
