Allright, but in most cases, that's not a viable option as batch files
make heavy use of goto statements (unfortunately), which doesn't have
a bash equivalent.
I found a workaround, which is to simply create a windows shortcut calling
cmd /K "sequence of commands"
in which the sequence of commands sources the batch file in question,
changes to c:\msys\1.0 and executes msys.bat. At least, that's working
for me.
Now Digital Fortran (or most Windows compilers for that matter)
accepts an option of the form
-Ic:\path\to\include\dir
to include whatever files (headers, modules, etc.). Switches to
programs in Windows usually use the forward slash '/' but most
programs also accept the dash '-'. Now, from within msys, if you want
to specify
-I/c/path/to/include/dir
(with forward slashes), the compiler complains that it doesn't know
the switch "/msys".
This results, I am guessing, from expansion of /c/path. If i use the
backslash path separator, all works well.
Is there a way to be able to use forward slashes in the -I command-line option?
Thanks,
Dominique
