Hi, I've been using msys2 for a while now, and it's great. I love this pacman-based distro (and I'm using ArchLinux too).
Recently I've found an issue (maybe it's been there for some time): Some makefiles I wrote stopped working. I used to invoke Visual C++ within msys2 environment with the help of a wrapper script. The generated command line looks something like: cl x.o -Fe x -link -LIBPATH:../lib x.lib The -LIBPATH:../lib is generated from a -L../lib flag. This command line used to work fine. But not now. This flag is now converted to "-LIBPATH;../lib", with the colon changed into a semicolon, and it stopped working. I think the reason is that this flag is recognized as a posix path list now. Mingw.org has this rule on their site: An argument that doesn't start with -, ", ', or @ and contains a : followed by /, :, or .; and a / is considered a POSIX path list. Every :-separated element is converted according to these rules, and the : are replaced with ;. Any / are converted to \. I think msys2 should work in a similar way? Or how can I avoid this conversion in all? Thanks a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
