If cmd.exe is called without > that switch, it expects input from the standard input (console). Yes, tried that, the result always is '-c' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Something is messing with the argument list. No difference between these two there: SHELL=cmd.exe /C SHELL:=/cygdrive/c/windows/system32/cmd.exe -- /C Looks like that might be on the right track, but how do I get arguments across verbatim?
