Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 21:25:49 -0500 Organization: Home X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 Encoding: 42 TEXT I use java and cygwin all the time, the thing you need to remember is that java for the windows environment was not written to use unix command line syntax. Your compile line should be : bash-2.02% javac -d "d:\destdir\classes" foo.java Like Chris Faylor stated this is really a limitation of the javac compiler and not Cygwin. Eric -----Original Message----- From: Craig MacFarlane [SMTP:craigm@chemconnect.com] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2000 12:32 PM To: cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: bash, javac and that pesky slash. Sun's javac, in jdk1.2.1, seems to change the forward slashes used by bash to backward slashes used by windows. e.g. bash-2.02% javac -d //d/destdir/classes foo.java produces the error message The \\d\destdir\classes directory does not exist. Is there any way to use javac with bash while specifying destination dirs for your classes? It appears as though javac is trying to be too smart by substituting slashes.
