If so, I think javac will automatically compile the dependencies, so you just need to give it the top level java file anyway. If the '*.java' files are not related, you will need to do a little shell scripting, to collect the files referenced by '*.java' into a list of Windows format names which you then pass to javac. I'd suggest starting with a 'for' loop to iterate over the list of file names, using cygpath on each to generate the Window's path and concatenating the names into a list. But you'll have to play with quotes, to preserve the backslashes. If you aren't comfortable doing this, I can provide some help, but I won't be free to do so till next week. alex wrote: > > > > > Larry, nailed problem #1, javac is itself a java program, and java doesn't > > grok cygwin paths (unfortunately) so you need to either pass it a dos path > > it will understand, or a basic unix path it will understand.
