Hello. I've written a console program with mingw32 which takes command line
parameters. Some of these parameters consist of file names (including
paths). Running the program under bash works fine, however, running it from
the windows console, it can't seem to find the files the parameters refer
to. I think this has to do with how the directory and filenames are
specified. I've tried both windows style backslashes '\' and unix style
forward slashes '/', as well as all caps, all lower case, and matching
cases, and none of this seems to work under the dos console. Can someone
tell me how programs compiled with mingw32 expect filenames passed from the
command line. Thanks.

Depends on your the shell you're running under. If you're running under
bash, it "globs" your command line and modifies it before passing it on
to the program; if you're running under CMD/COMMAND, then the globbing
is done in the startup code.
Unless you provide testcase, it's hard to tell what may be wrong. There
is also the debugger, so please use it.
Regards,
Mumit

Your mingw32 program will not map the cygwin mounted directory table to the
physical directories. Is this what you're trying to do? It also won't
properly follow the logical links to the physical paths.
