Yeh" To: "Cygwin" Subject: Running a NT program from cygwin Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 20:15:28 +0800 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="big5" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 I have a NT program, called e.exe, which is used to edit a file. When I invoked it with a filename described by a path relative to the current directory, it works fine. However, if I specified a path starting from the root directory, it interprets into a wrong path. For example, Current directory: /usr Invoke: e include/stdio.h -> OK Invoke: e /usr/include/stdio.h -> FAIL, c:\cygwin\usr\usr\include\stdio.h is searched instead of c:\cygwin\usr\include\stdio.h In other words, it looks like no matter what path I specified, it is always prefixed with the current directory (and discarding / if it starts with /).
