naive request: Cygwin and Windows/DOS program

naive request: Cygwin and Windows/DOS program

[Jerome G. Benoit]

Hi !

Is there a simple trick to use Windows/DOS program under Cygnus/bash:
e.g. I want to use my favorite Windows editor [namely WinEdt] under
bash,
but unfortunetly I cannot use carelessly because of links,mounts,...

Note that there are a lot of canditate for this: TeX stuff,
ghostscript,...

Thanks inadvance,
jerome BENOIT

Check out 'cygpath' to change paths and use it in a shell script or
function.

As said in a previous email,

I you want something that translated the command line arguments between
the two environments: bash script seems the simpler way to do that.

Otherwise,
I wonder if we can use the maple Windows command line `cmaple.exe' or
maple interface
with bash as subshell.

If I lauch cmaple under Cygnus/bash and hit the RETURN key twice,
I get  the message: 

syntax error, control character '\e' unexpected

if I do the same thing under DOS I get no message.
Beside the cursor mechanism seems bogus under bash.

Furthermore if I type `system(ls);' (under bash) I get a Blue Screen,
under DOS `system(dir);' works.

Exactly !
I guess that is the simpler way to do what I want:
my thought was that there is some thing more specific.

Do you want something that translated the command line arguments between
the two environments? Shell scripts are your friend...

    milhouse% cat `which iexplorer`
    #!/bin/sh

    CMD='//C/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE'

    if [ "$1" -a -e "$1" ] ; then
        D="`dirname \"$1\"`"
        D="`cd \"$D\" ; pwd`"
        F="`basename \"$1\"`"
        P="$D/$F"
        W="`cygpath -w \"$P\"`"
        exec "$CMD" "$W" &
    else
        exec "$CMD" &
    fi
    milhouse%

I use vim in this way. I just need to make sure the drive its on is mounted (my c:\ is / and my e:\ is /e) and the vim executable is in my path.

What kind of problems are you having?
