I know I'm slow but I just updated to this cygwin change and running
into a snag. In our build process, we rely on using DOS file paths and
dash seems to NOT support them. It's impractical for me to properly use
POSIX paths because of the effort required to convert such a large
project (it was ported to Windows in 1996 back when we were using Cygnus
B20.1(?)). I tried to go look for ash but couldn't find it anymore.
Using bash seems to cause other problems in the build process (and of
course it's also dog slow on this complicated project). Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Edward
