Hi, I'm trying to get the linuxtools Eclipse autoconf plugin to work on Cygwin. One problem I'm having is that a configure script (from newlib) is calling pwd which is returning a Windows style path (e.g. c:/something), which causes it to fail. This appears to be because Eclipse is setting the environment variable PWD to a Windows style path. This can be reproduced with:
PWD=c:/cygwin/ sh $ pwd c:/cygwin/ I'm just wondering what would be the recommended way to tackle this: 1. Change Eclipse so it sets PWD to a Cygwin style path. 2. Patch the bash pwd builtin so it doesn't return Windows paths. 3. Change the configure script so it uses /usr/bin/pwd instead of the builtin (which returns the Cygwin style path). 4. Something else? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
