Prior to the latest release of cygwin (which translates to cygpath version 1.6.1), the following command worked fine:
cygpath -d . With the latest release of cygwin (which translates to cygpath version 1.8 I believe; the build was ~ August 10th), the same command complains: "cygpath: cannot create short name of ." However, if I execute: cygpath -d --absolute . it works as expected. It appears that in the latest release, cygpath either requires that "--absolute" flag, or requires the path that is passed in to be absolute. Was this an intentional change? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
