Hi, the script is attempting to determine the directory in which it exists, so CURRENT_DIR is a bit misleading. This is so that it can access other files in the same package relative to it (quite a common technique I think).
Might be helpful to have some examples: /home/dgriff> mkdir test /home/dgriff> cd test /home/dgriff/test> cygpath -m "file\.." ./ /home/dgriff/test> cygpath -m "file/.." cygpath: error converting "file/.." - No such file or directory /home/dgriff/test> cygpath -m "file\..\.." C:/cygwin/home/dgriff/ /home/dgriff/test> cygpath -m "file/../.." cygpath: error converting "file/../.." - No such file or directory /home/dgriff/test> touch file /home/dgriff/test> cygpath -m "file/../.." cygpath: error converting "file/../.." - No such file or directory /home/dgriff/test> cygpath -m "file\..\.." C:/cygwin/home/dgriff/ /home/dgriff/test> mkdir dir /home/dgriff/test> cygpath -m "dir/../.." C:/cygwin/home/dgriff/ Note that the backslash variant always works and all of these used to work under previous levels of cygwin.
