And (not to pick a fight) you've missed the point: I don't have full control over this stuff. I have to use CMake because that's what the project uses, and it generates the commands. If I could generate the Makefile manually, I wouldn't have this problem. If I could convince CMake to use /cygdrive/c/docume~1/etc., I wouldn't have this problem.  If I could convince CMake to put quotes around the path, I wouldn't have this problem. I can't, so I do.

But you've (seemingly inadvertently?) answered the question, so I can go off and hack something that works. Thanks!

P.S. And no, I'm not going to get into a top-posting vs. inline discussion -- that boat has sailed.  I did remove your email address below, however, including the raw copy in your sig...

You missed the point.  c:/ anything is NOT posix-y.  Rather, you should be
worried whether:

 '-Dsomething=/cygdrive/c/documents and settings/whatever'

is one or three arguments (one if it is quoted correctly, three if it is
not).  You're better off not even trying to use drive letters with a colon
when emulating posix.
