Re: Xalan and path problem


Thomas Porschberg wrote:
Hi,

we use Xalan on our UNIX/LINUX machines and I want now to the same on
Cygwin. I installed Xerces+Xalan(the windows binaries).

In our UNIX scripts the call to Xalan is:

Xalan -o $RESULTFILE $XMLFILE $XSLFILE

where $RESULTFILE, $XMLFILE and $XSLFILE are specified as
UNIX-paths.


That doesn't work under Cygwin I had to write:

Xalan -o `cygpath -w $RESULTFILE` ...

Of course I could now write
if $cywin ; then
 Xalan -o `cygpath -w $RESULTFILE` ...
else
 Xalan -o $RESULTFILE $XMLFILE $XSLFILE
fi

but I don't want change the script.

Is there another way to solve the problem ?

Yeah - get Xalan to understand unix paths. No Windows app will understand full cygwin paths, although most do understand the / as a path separator. Maybe you can create a cygwin version Xalan (whatever that is).
