If it's a MSDOS/Windows executable, it won't know anything about Cygwin paths. Getting backslashes (\) right can be rather tricky in a shell environment, so what I'd suggest is something like this: # A DOS program won't understand Cygwin file specifications mex=$(cygpath -w -a /cygdrive/j/diesel/scripts/PerfmonMacros.mex) # Use a Cygwin path for the shell to find the program "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/MacroExe/meproc" /F$mex /APerfMonInit -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
