I guess that you get consistent behavior when the first > path component is not merely a single letter, e.g., /foo/bar. You're right! With /foo/bar on W2k8r2 I get $ test-path-utils mingw_path /foo/bar/ C:/msysgit184/msysgit/foo/bar/ > Do you have a drive a: configured somewhere in your MSYS environment on > the 2k8r2 machine? See /etc/fstab. Do you have a floppy drive in that > machine? Again you're correct. The W2k8r2 machine actually is a VM, providing a floppy drive "A:". So the obvious thing would be to replace /a/b/ with /foo/bar/ in the tests, but that just masks the problem, or? PS: I'm also quite unhappy about naming the function "mingw_path". The path mangling comes from MSYS, not MinGW, so if at all it should be named msys_path. But as the code for the "mingw_path" function does nothing either MSYS or MinGW related but just prints argv[2] as it was passed to main() it should probably simply called "print_path". -- Sebastian Schuberth -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
