Hi -
I'm having some challenges with the latest version mksh (mksh-56c-1) and the
support of DOS path names. Seems this is broken, although POSIX names work
as expected.
chrisd@edmund:chrisd > cd E:/temp
/usr/bin/mksh: cd: /home/chrisd/E:/temp: No such file or directory
Running an older version
chrisd@edmund:chrisd > cd E:/temp
chrisd@edmund:temp > pwd
/cygdrive/e/temp
I've noticed that the mksh Build.sh has moved the dospath handling to be
OS/2 specific, omitting Cygwin.
Cheers
Chris

From the Changelog entries since the last Cygwin release 54, looks like all but
OS/2 now behave more like POSIX, using realpath, including Cygwin and Msys -
http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm#clog
"R56c is a bugfix-only release everyone must upgrade to:
. [komh] Remove redundant OS/2-specific code, clean up others
. [komh, tg] Fix drive-qualified (absolute and relative) DOS-style path support
in realpath functionality, partially other places
. [tg] Donât substitute ${ENV:-~/.mkshrc} result again
. [tg] Improve OS/2 $PATH (et al.) handling, drive-relative paths
...
R56 is a bugfix release with some experimental fixes:
...
. [komh] Exclude FAT/HPFS/NTFS-unsafe tests on OS/2 (and Cygwin/MSYS)
...
R55 is mostly a feature release with summary bugfixes:
...
. [tg] Add new standard variable PATHSEP (â:â, â;â on OS/2)
...
. [tg] Introduce build flag -T for enabling âtextmodeâ on OS/2 (supporting CR+LF
line endings, but incompatible with mksh proper)
. [tg] Merge mksh-os2
..."
