getting dos path from cygwin

[ian reinhart geiser]

\r 
Greetings,\r 
I am trying to call link.exe on a lib, but it is in my cygwin path and i \r 
cannot seem to find a good way to translate my cygwin path into a dos path so \r 
ms's silly tools can understand it.\r 
\r 
any hints?\r 
\r 
thanks\r

Yes! Use the cygpath.exe utility.

Use cygpath.

cygpath --help

in your case:

some_dos_command  $(cygpath -w path_to_cygwin_file)
or
some_dos_command  $(cygpath -wa path_to_cygwin_file)
 
The "a" option is to return the absolute path, and not the relative one.
