Wanted: Help translating classpath from CMD.EXE to bash
Can someone help me translate this to bash? It works with CMD.EXE. java and javac are programs for sun that are not cygwin based so I believe they want windows style file specifications and not cygwin/bash/unix style file specifications. Here is the CMD.EXE script: SET CLASSPATH=.;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\samples\xsltcservlet.jar;c:\dev\xalan \xalan-j_2_7_0\samples\xsltcejb.jar;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\samples\xsltc brazil.jar;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\samples\xsltcapplet.jar;c:\dev\xalan\x alan-j_2_7_0\samples\xalansamples.jar;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\serializer. jar;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\xalan.jar;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\xercesIm pl.jar;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\xml-apis.jar;c:\dev\xalan\xalan-j_2_7_0\xs ltc.jar javac -g ApplyXPathDOM.java java ApplyXPathDOM foo.xml /doc/name[1]/@last Woops -- I did not intend it to wrap!

If I understand your question you can convert paths to and from dos by using the cygpath command.

RE: Wanted: Help translating classpath from CMD.EXE to bash
Thanks Igor!
As someone mentioned, you can use cygpath -p to convert a POSIX-style
path into a Win32-style one.
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.

If you're running from bash or any other Cygwin shell, then the path is
already in POSIX form. 'javac' won't understand this, since it is a
Windows program. 'cygpath' is the way to convert between POSIX paths and
Windows/DOS, forward and back. In your case, you want POSIX-Windows/DOS
conversion. See 'man cygpath' for more details.

I should've been clearer, and said you can use 'cygpath -p' to convert
*between* a POSIX-style path and a Win32-style one. cygpath -[u]p (the
u is optional) will convert from a Win32 path to a POSIX one, whereas
cygpath -wp will convert from a POSIX path to a Win32 one. For more
details, see man cygpath, as Larry said.

What exactly didn't work here? What were the errors?
Alternatively, you can try using my java wrapper scripts that will do
the translation automatically for you (the scripts can be found at

Nope. I haven't really had time to package them properly. I won't be
able to write full-fledged documentation, but I'm willing to answer
questions and accept documentation patches against the CVS repository
above. Care to help out?
What kind of wrappers are these?
They are wrappers around the java, javac, etc, executables. Just make
sure they precede the real executables in the PATH. They will basically
invoke the real ones, having translated the known path arguments to POSIX
format. They will not translate all arguments -- if you pass filenames to
your Java program, you're responsible for translating those. But they
help (a lot, actually -- I use them constantly on my machine).
I have never heard of bash wrappers before. (hmmm... bash wrappers,
sounds like a new genre of music! -- maybe something like slam dancing?)
They are wrapper programs written in bash.
How about an example? That would probably suffice.
Sure. You can run
/usr/local/bin/java -classpath /home/me/jars/a.jar:/home/me/classes SomeClass
And it'll call the Windows Java executable with the right paths.
Well, even if I get Igor's bash wrappers to work, I'm kinda curious why
my attempt did not.
You'll have to provide more details on what exactly didn't work in your
attempt.
HTH,
Igor
P.S. If you decide to try XJ after all, I'd be interested in your feedback

RE: Wanted: Help translating classpath from CMD.EXE to bash
I figured it out. This does work after all:
CLASSPATH=.\;c\:\\dev\\xalan\\xalan-j_2_7_0\\samples\\xsltcservlet.jar\;c\:\
\dev\\xalan\\xalan-j_2_7_0\\samples\\xsltcejb.jar\;c\:\\dev\\xalan\\xalan-j_

\\xalan-j_2_7_0\\xml-apis.jar\;c\:\\dev\\xalan\\xalan-j_2_7_0\\xsltc.jar
export CLASSPATH
javac -g ApplyXPathDOM.java
One has to escape the colons and the semi colons. I don't understand why I
have to escape the colons too -- but it works.
Thanks for the example for the java/bash wrappers -- I think I understand
now.
