Sorry about the last email. I seem to have gotten the paths working OK. Lester
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= I have a C project that I can compile and run fine using gcc, with or without -mno-cygwin. I have the I/O files in another directory, with the relative paths named in some .c files. When I use the -mno-cygwin option, I see I cannot use soft links for any IO directories, but I also cannot use the executable in another directory with the same relative path to the IO directory? So, under a ${PROJECT_PATH}/ I have SRC/ IO/ RUN/ Let's say I compile the code under SRC/. If I put the executable under RUN I get an access violation -- only under -mno-cygwin. If I keep the executable unde SRC/, it works OK. Is there any way of declaring my paths in my .c files to avoid these problems? Thanks.
