RE: colons getting changed to semi-colons in PATH using cygwin ma ke


Read http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/faq/faq_4.html#SEC94 and consider the
effects of DOS-style paths with MAKE_MODE=UNIX.

Subject: colons getting changed to semi-colons in PATH using cygwin make

Hello,
  I am having some trouble using cygwin make in that it is changing all my
":" to ";" in the path before it gets exported, so something that should
read ";c:\progra~1;" reads ";c;\progra~1;"  . This is causing trouble when
trying to run a windows exe that needs several dirs in the path. So my
question: is there a way to tell cygwin make to stop converting all the
":"(colons) to ";"(semi-colons) while still having MAKE_MODE=Unix? I am
using cygwin make V3.80 on a windows 2000 machine, I have been looking
through the mail archives but have been able to find anything, if this has
been covered directions to the web page or mail archive would be great. I
have to be able to export the PATH in a windows format, is a must .Thanks in
advance for any help
-Ken
