Hi, In the course of fixing a bug for Octave on Windows (www.octave.org) I hit the following issue: The msys tar.exe executable doesn't accept Windows style file names a la 'C:\full\path\to\file.fil' or even 'C:/full/path/to/file.fil' but insists on '/c/full/path/to/file.fil'. The other archivers zip/unzip, bzip2 and gzip happily accept path names with drive letters. My tar version: $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.23 Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Thanks, Philip |
