-----Original Message----- From: Ken Lehman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 12:10 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: colons getting changed to semi-colons in PATH using cygwin make Hello, I am having some trouble using cygwin make in that it is changing all my ":" to ";" in the path before it gets exported, so something that should read ";c:\progra~1;" reads ";c;\progra~1;" . This is causing trouble when trying to run a windows exe that needs several dirs in the path. So my question: is there a way to tell cygwin make to stop converting all the ":"(colons) to ";"(semi-colons) while still having MAKE_MODE=Unix? I am using cygwin make V3.80 on a windows 2000 machine, I have been looking through the mail archives but have been able to find anything, if this has been covered directions to the web page or mail archive would be great. I have to be able to export the PATH in a windows format, is a must .Thanks in advance for any help -Ken ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- The views and opinions expressed in this email message are the sender's own, and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of Summit Systems Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
