    contains spaces.
fd16c54261b3 Initial load

    Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the

fd16c54261b3 Initial load

    You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   620
    or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   621
    (called 'mixed'), e.g.
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   622
    <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.

    <p>
fd16c54261b3 Initial load

    The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   625
    to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.

fd16c54261b3 Initial load

    Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   628
    setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   629
    the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   630
    separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   631
    With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   632
    cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version  of <tt>PATH</tt> and
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   633
    instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   634
    which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
fd16c54261b3 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
   635
    So be careful with paths on Windows.
