I am trying to use Source Navigator under WinNT (yuck) in a cygwin
environment. Everything works fine, except I can't use cygwin
mounted directories, because SN uses windows file browsers and
doesn't understand the cygwin environment. Is this a bug, or is
it a restriction on the winblows environment?
Thanks for any info,
Tom Dell

It is because SN is compiled as a Windows app. Anything built as a
windows app is limited to windows functionality (or lack thereof ;-))
You could try recompiling it with gcc in the cygwin environment (as a
unix application, not a windows). If you succeed (I haven't tried),
then you would have all the cygwin functionality as well.
Another possibility is to define environment variables for your
mounts. I did this with HOME. I can now type %HOME% in any windows
path and it will refer to my cygwin home.
