Re: cygpath returns garbage if DOS/win2k input environment variable is too long?


Ralf,

You're trying to convert a PATH (or PATH-like) variable, not a single file or directory name. Include the "-p" option.

Hi,

The following problem occurred to me:

1) In my win2k, I set (a long) Java CLASSPATH
2) under cygwin I want to convert it (in my .tcshrc) an it fails. If I do it
on the command line, it looks like the following:
rhauser@PCGF590K:~> cygpath --unix "$CLASSPATH"

...

My questions:
1) is there a way to see an error-message from cygpath (a log file or some
way to see stderr if there is any of that)?
2) I did a work-around with assembling the path again in my .tcshrc. This is
not convenient. Any better ideas...?

Many thx in advance and rgds Ralf
