This is the code in the current libiberty: ifndef IN_GCC #if defined (__MSDOS__) || (defined (_WIN32) && ! defined (__CYGWIN__) && ! defined (_UWIN)) #define DIR_SEPARATOR '\\' #endif #endif It should do the correct thing for cygwin now, so there's no need to send a patch to anyone. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
