Give an example. dash supports DOS paths the same as bash. That is, if the : doesn't already cause other problems (as in tar), then the DOS path is handed on to native windows (and you get the nodosfiles warning from cygwin1.dll on the first use). > I tried to go look for ash but couldn't find it anymore. dash IS ash - the dash project is a modernized port of the old ash code base, with the goal of being even faster and more POSIX-compliant. > 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? I'm not going out of my way to do anything for DOS paths other than what you happen to get for free; if they work, great; if they don't, you've been warned that POSIX paths are the way to go in cygwin. If you REALLY want DOS paths and faster execution, look to mingw, not cygwin. --=20 Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
