Untested code: #include #include #include #include int main(int argc, char**argv) { int e =3D chdir(argv[1]); char *cwd =3D getcwd(NULL,0); return printf ("chdir to %s: %d(%s), now in %s\n", argv[1], e, strerror(e), cwd); } That alone will give insights into whether you should even be expecting this to work. The difference between bash and dash is that bash spends more time calling cygwin conversion routines in advance of attempting chdir. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enigBC420472F921E2A248D81155 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Cygwin) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuROvkACgkQ84KuGfSFAYA10gCg0q3nJw5l+O/ba+erOSIcW85C jM8An0rm+Lr9N6C4JfQ+Oy2vGEsYPia0 =NBH2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigBC420472F921E2A248D81155--
