Re: [Mingw-msys] Re: configure problems with MSYS 1.02

[Andrew B. <ab...@ee...>]

Ok, after getting the new 1.0.3 DLL, my configure script works fine now.

But, I've got a problem here. If msys only comes with enough to run a 
configure script, it's got to include enough to run the build itself 
too! Let's say I search for libraries in the configure script and find 
them in /c/usr/misc/lib, and I insert that into my Makefiles. Well, now 
the only shell capable of interpreting that path is the msys bash. Which 
means that my build itself has to be using msys' bash to start up gcc, 
or gcc won't be able to interpret the path!

However, if msys had an explicit path-translate command, able to 
translate an msys posix path to a DOS one for insertion into my 
makefile, then I'm sure I could run the make in a normal bash, like that 
cygwin.
