I have to use CMake because that's what the project uses, and it generates the commands. If I could generate the Makefile manually, I wouldn't have this problem. If I could convince CMake to use /cygdrive/c/docume~1/etc., I wouldn't have this problem. If I could convince CMake to put quotes around the path, I wouldn't have this problem. I can't, so I do. But you've (seemingly inadvertently?) answered the question, so I can go off and hack something that works. Thanks! ...phsiii P.S.

You missed the point. c:/ anything is NOT posix-y. Rather, you should be worried whether: '-Dsomething=/cygdrive/c/documents and settings/whatever' is one or three arguments (one if it is quoted correctly, three if it is not). You're better off not even trying to use drive letters with a colon when emulating posix. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
