Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2004 14:42:46 -0700 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-AntiVirus: checked by Vexira MailArmor (version: 2.0.1.16; VAE: 6.26.0.3; VDF: 6.26.0.12; host: postman.alphatrade.com) Hi, If I execute these commands, I get these outputs: $ cygpath -w . .\ $ cygpath -u . . As you can see these commands return different values. Now in cygwin this may cause problems elsewhere, such as in the following trivial script: #---------- #!/bin/sh BASEDIR=`cygpath -w .` FILE="$BASEDIR/out.txt" touch "$FILE" #---------- If you run this, $FILE is set to ".\/out.txt" which is not very unix friendly. Can I get a bug fix for "cygpath -w ." to return "." instead of ".\"? I'm using the latest cygwin v1.5.10-3 on NT2k. Don't know cygpath version...sorry. Not too sure if this right forum, if not can someone please direct to appropriate means of bug reporting.
