Re: Picking up include directories automatically

[jp at awesome dot nuancecom dot com (J. P. Shipherd)]

Unfortunatly the mount option fools lots of other programs and I've found makes things a bit more unstable.  Specifically, if I have csh or perl scripts (I'm using the tcsh from the Virtual Unix page) that are in directories on mounted disks they seem to get lost.  If I unmount everything and keep the posix paths in my $PATH everything works ok.

Couldn't gcc (or cpp) be modified to understand posix paths? (Or better yet, DOS drive letters)

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
"gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
