Enrico is trying to push the code where it isn't meant to go ;-) He's essentially using the Cygwin build environment to build a native Window executable (ie, --without-x) because Lars' insistence that we use the latest and greatest versions of the autotools means that the MinGW/MSYS platform won't build. (The latest available, working, version of automake on MinGW/MSYS is 1.8.) Enrico is finding "directory separator" issues because he's essentially mixing native Windows code (Qt) with Posix code (our os_cygwin.C). Hmmm, is that a fair summary? Yes, I think so. -- Angus
