Nope, MinGW just uses unix-like tools to build a native Windows application. I actually can't use cygwin paths from my MinGW Vim build, it's all native Windows paths. You can use the forward slash on Windows, though, like :e c:/test/some/file.txt. This doesn't depend on what you used to compile. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
