I am working in a team where everyone else has a Linux/Mac OS X workstation, but I have a windows workstation. Our project uses a shell script and a java program to automate some deployment/setup etc, which needs to create some directories of the sort /ABC/XYZ. Obviously such paths are not valid in Windows.
I was hoping if I executed these scripts from within a Cygwin terminal, the problem might be solved (with /ABC/XYZ mapping to C:\cygwin\ABC\XYZ While the issue gets solved for the shell scripts, it does not for the java program. I realize this happens because the Cygwin executes the very same java.exe program which is installed on Windows (even though I selected 'java' related packages for installation while installing Cygwin). Is there a way to get the equivalent of the "native" javac and java programs one would find on a typical Linux workstation. If not, can I accomplish what I want using the gcc java compiler gjc? (Note: I am a relative newbie to Linux, and a complete newbie to Cygwin... my apologies :) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Making-Unix-like-paths-work-when-using-java-program-from-Cygwin-tp33869106p33869106.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
