Non-Cygwin programs don't and never will understand Cygwin's POSIX paths. Look to the FAQ entry below for the cygpath utility to convert paths back and forth:
How do I convert between Windows and UNIX paths? http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC36 Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: Scott Purcell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2002 11:05:29 -0600 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: pathing issues script failure Hello, I am writing a simple shell script and I am running into some roadblocks. I am sure it is something I am doing, or the way I have configured the system? Anyway, the problem is in the following script, I have to type in /cygdrive/c, to reach the c drive. But for some reason this script fails when it has to put the output away. It switches the / unix style slashes back to windows? I am on win2000. I am trying to get this working, does anyone know what is wrong, or what I should change to get this rolling? Thanks, Scott Here is the script. #!/bin/sh pwd=`pwd` echo $pwd " is pwd" classfiles=/cygdrive/c `cp -r ${classfiles}/com ${classfiles}/cvs_tmp` cd ${classfiles}/cvs_tmp args=`find . | grep java\$ | tr "\n" " "` # run javadoc with the -d option, which will put the output in the # directory this script was run from echo /cygdrive/c/Program Files/jdk1.3.1_04/bin/javadoc -J-Xmx96m -d $pwd javafil es .... /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/jdk1.3.1_04/bin/javadoc -J-Xmx96m -d $pwd $args # go back to where we started from cd $pwd find . | xargs chmod 777 ### here is what happens when I run it, notice the Destination, it is now \cygdrive\c spurcell@DSGSTL-PC-1523 /cygdrive/c $ javadoc.sh /cygdrive/c is pwd /cygdrive/c/Program Files/jdk1.3.1_04/bin/javadoc -J-Xmx96m -d /cygdrive/c javaf iles .... javadoc: Destination directory not found \cygdrive\c 1 error -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
