Re: DOS filename vs POSIX filename

[Winbox X]

unix_command c:\\usr\\src\\file.c work for bash, but I could
not include something like that in PATH because : is used to
separate different paths. Also in sh/make script, I have to use \ to
protect \. Once I have to use 8 \ in a row. :)
DJ in his email provided a net solution to this problem, as far
as your win32 applications accept POSIX path. Luckily this is
true for me.
Thanks,

-Mike

Re: DOS filename vs POSIX filename

You should be able to do something like:
dos_command `cygpath -w -p /usr/src/file.c`

assuming, of course, that you're in a non-DOS shell.  I know it's pretty messy
and it's a lot of typing, but if you can find a better way, please let me know
'cos I'd also like to get a nice transparent way of doing this so my makefiles
are more portable.

Is there method to name a path so that both cygwin commands and my
old legacy win32 commands both understand? Right now I have to use
different path names for the same file, some like
unix_command /usr/src/file.c for bash
dos_command c:\\usr\\src\\file.c for dos

thanks,

cypath will convert between forms but why doesn't 
"unix_command c:\\usr\\src\\file.c" work for you in bash?

Re: DOS filename vs POSIX filename

[DJ Delorie]

One way is to create an "identity mount" for a specific subdirectory
that you need to pass back and forth, like this:

mount c:/foo /foo

(assuming c: is your cygwin drive).  This makes the path conversion
result in no changes.
