I've looked into it and I'd like to give that task back to the cygpath maintainer. :-) > Achim, any chance to tweak base-file accordingly? At the moment I'm using $(/usr/bin/cygpath -S -u) to get the system directory. Since the /cygdrive prefix could be anything, I'd either have to first figure it out via $(dirname $(/usr/bin/cygpath -u C:)) since the output from mount is a bit unwieldy. Maybe we should just force the cygdrive prefix to be /cygdrive for postinstall scripts anyway. But there really ought to be a way to simply have cygpath deliver the canonical /proc/cygdrive path instead of whatever that link points to, maybe that switch should be called "-U"?
