It probably is, if that option is available.
I'm sorry. No. Let me take that back. I think what is being done is that someone is typing /usr\local/bin. cygwin_conv_to_posix_path is not the right solution here. That would end up creating something like /cygdrive/c/usr/local/bin which is probably not what's intended. 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/
