Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 17:49:16 +0200 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 Hi, The following problem occurred to me: 1) In my win2k, I set (a long) Java CLASSPATH 2) under cygwin I want to convert it (in my .tcshrc) an it fails. If I do it on the command line, it looks like the following: rhauser@PCGF590K:~> cygpath --unix "$CLASSPATH" ô??a? Admitted, the path is long: .:/cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/Java/jbuilder/JBuilder7/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i1 8n.j ar:/cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/Java/jbuilder/JBuilder7/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/j aws. jar;/cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/Java/jbuilder/JBuilder7/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/ rt.j ar:/cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/Java/jbuilder/JBuilder7/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/s unrs asign.jar:/cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/Java/jbuilder/JBuilder7/jdk1.3.1/li b/dt .jar:/cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/Java/jbuilder/JBuilder7/jdk1.3.1/lib/htm lcon verter.jar:/cygdrive/c/data/MyDocRalf/bin/Java/jbuilder/JBuilder7/jdk1.3.1/l ib/t ools.jar My questions: 1) is there a way to see an error-message from cygpath (a log file or some way to see stderr if there is any of that)? 2) I did a work-around with assembling the path again in my .tcshrc. This is not convenient. Any better ideas...?
