How do you expect this to work if you don't have Cygwin installed? At
the very least you'll need /bin/sh and /bin/ls, since system("foo") just
calls '/bin/sh -c "foo"'. Have you checked the return value of
system()? Always check return values.

/cygdrive is the default, so it shouldn't matter that there is no mount
table. (By the way, always use mount and umount instead of manipulating
the registry directly.) I don't think posix vs. win32 paths is actually
the problem here, and "c:/mydir" ought to work for what you're trying to
do... it's just not a great habit to get into.
