Nevine,
Ah, that explains it. The script I suggested earlier will look at the
whole parameter. If you want to transform parts of parameters, you'd have
to do something a bit more sophisticated, like
#!/bin/sh
PARAMS=""
for i in "$@"; do
case "$i" in
-*=/*) i="`echo "$i" | \
sed 'h;s,^[^=]*=\(/.*\)$,cygpath -w -- "\1",e;x;\
s,=.*$,=,;G;s,\n,,'`" ;;
-*) ;;
*/*) i="`cygpath -w -- "$i"`" ;;
*) ;;
esac
PARAMS="$PARAMS '$i'"
done
eval "set -- $PARAMS"
gswin32c "$@"
The above seems to work correctly. Hope this helps,
Igor
