Summary: Bad GCC paths in MSYS... and more

Initial Comment:
I've discovered that in MSYS, the -I parameter of GCC 
doesn't work correctly. The / directory points to 
C:\, but the /c/ directory doesn't exist in GCC.

Basically OpenXDK is a package to develop homebrew 
applications on a modded Xbox. It contains include 
files and one app, CXBE, to convert the EXE file 
(created by GCC) to a valid XBE (the executable 
format of Xbox).

So far, bugs I've uncovered doesn't seem to be the 
cause of OpenXDK since it works in Cygwin.

Sorry, I missed the link and you shouldn't expect me to go
elsewhere to help you resolve the issue.

-I/c/foo doesn't translate to a windows path in MSYS.
-I /c/foo would translate to -I c:/foo.

Change your PREFIX variable value to c:/openxdk.

-Ic:/foo should work.

Haven't you read it??? I've posted 2 different versions of 
erroneous command line, created by my makefile! All the 
details are there, so read it!

The only part of that thread that doesn't apply there is 
the part about the 2 versions of CXBE, which has nothing 
to do with MinGW. However, the "CXBE not found" part is 
indeed important to MinGW, since it confirms my bug report 
because CXBE is in the openxdk directory.

If there's a part you don't understand contact me again.

Ok, now give me the command line that fails.

Here is my current config for the "Current" release of 
MinGW. Note that an analog configuration with 
the "Candidate" version also has the bug.

I'm not trying to insult; just figure out where things are
wrong.

Can you execute ``msysinfo all'' in the MSYS shell?  If so,
what is the output.

This is a bit insulting! :) Yes, I've read the whole thing 
even though it is out of date.

I can compile and run basic C/C++ files, if that's what 
you wanted to know.
