I'll discourage you from attempting the second, as it would go against the generally accepted rule of not putting cygwin' root directory in your dos root ( i.e. / == c:\ ). This leaves the best option as passing java a path it will understand. Try this: javac -d . `cygpath -w /cygdrive/c/abc/abc.java` alternately, pick up a copy of jikes (http://jikes.org/) which, when compiled as a cygwin application, will grok cygwin paths natively. The download path for a cygwin native tar ball is : http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/project/download/mdejong/jikes-1_12-cygwin.tgz now the forces of openness have a powerful and unexpected new ally http://ibm.com/linux/ -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
