We identified cygwin make's inability to handle driveletter paths as

not use any mixed paths to avoid this problem.
Yes, you are right for the building of the jdk but that's only a part
of the whole job. When talking about tests -- jtreg in particular --,
you need to go back to the path handled by Java on windows and in
that case, cygwin path does not work at all, only windows path with
letter and '/' are working... So mixed path is a good compromise on
windows for building, testing and delivering the full product....
Then this is something we still need to fix. I wasn't aware of this
until now.
I wanted to investigate this so configured using
--with-jtreg=/path/to/jtreg/dir and the ran make test. Looks to me like
a lot of tests are running and passing. What specific issue do you have
with testing on windows?
