RE: Dos Style path in 3.79.1-7 and -5


Thanks for the reply.
I actually have used many version of Cygwin make  that work properly with
unexcaped backslashes.
It is only recently that things stopped working.

Again, i am using the cmd.exe as my shell by invoking make with the --win32
command line argument.

I know i could use the forward slashed or even transition to bash, but some
of my customers use the scripts with the backslashes.

thanks
Rami

Try using forward slahes like d:/utils/print.exe. I don't think the
CygWin version of make has ever been equipped to handle unescaped
backslahes. You may also try escaping them, like d:\\utils\\print.exe.
