This is a UNIX emulation environment. "c:\foo bar" doesn't mean the c drive in a PATH variable. It means the 'c' directory followed by the '\foo bar' directory. Colon is the separator for PATH. The correct syntax for the above is PATH="/cygdrive/c/foo bar" . cgf -- 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/
