$ CYGPATH=`cygpath -w /` $ echo $CYGPATH C:\cygwin $ CYGPATH=`cygpath -u "$CYGPATH"` $ echo $CYGPATH /
What I really want to get is "C:/cygwin" or "/cygdrive/c/cygwin", in my case. Look at the weird messages I get from this chmod: $ chmod -R ug+rwX,o+rX / chmod: getting attributes of `//bin: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//cisrastartx.bat: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//cisraxinit.sh: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//cygwin.bat: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//cygwin.ico: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//etc: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//home: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//lib: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//opt: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//remap-drives.sh: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//sbin: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._c_i_s_r_a_s_t_a_r_t_x_._b_a_t_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._c_i_s_r_a_x_w_i_n_._s_h_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_-_-_-_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d_0_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_-_-_-_m_u_l_t_i_w_i_n_d_o_w_0_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_._b_a_t_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_w_i_n_._s_h_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._X_0_-_m_u_l_t_i_w_i_n_d_o_w_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//tmp.luke._x_i_n_i_t_-_-_-_k_b_-_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d_: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//usr: No such file or directory chmod: getting attributes of `//var: No such file or directory Here's an ls of /: $ ls / bin tmp.luke._X_0_-_m_u_l_t_i_w_i_n_d_o_w_ cisrastartx.bat tmp.luke._c_i_s_r_a_s_t_a_r_t_x_._b_a_t_ cisraxinit.sh tmp.luke._c_i_s_r_a_x_w_i_n_._s_h_ cygwin.bat tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_ cygwin.ico tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_-_-_-_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d_0_ etc tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_-_-_-_m_u_l_t_i_w_i_n_d_o_w_0_ home tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_._b_a_t_ lib tmp.luke._s_t_a_r_t_x_w_i_n_._s_h_ opt tmp.luke._x_i_n_i_t_-_-_-_k_b_-_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d_ remap-drives.sh usr sbin var tmp (I'm doing this to try to ensure that if a SysAdmin user installs Cygwin for the actual owner of the machine, the owner will later have permission to update or even uninstall Cygwin themselves.) luke -- 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/
