Why are we playing substring games instead of using the cygpath utility to convert between cygwin-unix-style-paths and windows-paths ? Is it a speed issue?
Hmm, I think it is better because of speed, though I did not run a single test for it. And also it is more general because you can then convert things like -I/path for example. Anyway, I really think we can get rid of the ~whole converting stuff on cygwin because make 3.82 can operate in mixed paths mode. So, I suggest to consider removing evil in gbuild/BuildDirs.mk and solenv/bin/build.pl. Patch attached. It is not-tested new version of an old little-tested patch. If there is somebody who uses make 3.81 on _cygwin_ it should not be a problem to upgrade ? HTH, Matúš
