I have Cygwin up and running on my PC and I am trying to use a UNIX program under Cygwin. The program requires a parameter file telling it where to find all the files it has to work on. This file can be found in the "C:\cygwin\home\PHains\SuperHirn\make" directory on my hard drive. My problem is getting the UNIX software to understand where the parameter file can be found. I've tried the Windows nomenclature as outlined above and what I think is the Cygwin version; /home/PHains/SuperHirn/make and various other permutations. So far I have had no joy and the program keeps on telling me the file cannot be found at "whatever_I_entered." Can somebody please tell me what the correct syntax would be in this case??
