I think I need to go the other way. Given a CLASSPATH variable in windows, how do I convert it to cygwin? Do I use ":" to separate the elements, or do I use "\;". If I use ":", what about the windows device names? It seems to me this should have worked, but it does not: * CLASSPATH=.\;c:\\dev\\xalan\\xalan-j_2_7_0\\xsltcservlet.jar\;others * export $CLASSPATH * echo ${CLASSPATH} * javac myprogram.java > > Alternatively, you can try using my java wrapper scripts that will do the > translation automatically for you (the scripts can be found at > <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/wrappers/java/?cvsroot=cygwin-apps>; > you'll need to edit the scripts to point them to your Java installation > directory). > OK, is there any documentation? What kind of wrappers are these? I have never heard of bash wrappers before. (hmmm... bash wrappers, sounds like a new genre of music! -- maybe something like slam dancing?) How about an example? That would probably suffice. Well, even if I get Igor's bash wrappers to work, I'm kinda curious why my attempt did not.
