[Mingw-msys] MSYS 1.08 - sh exec path substitution

[Mike T. <mi...@br...>]

Hi Earnie.

The following sh script:

===================================
#!/bin/sh
exec "g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/saved_gcl.exe" \
   -dir "g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/" \
   -libdir "g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/" \
   -eval '(setq si::*allow-gzipped-file* t)' \
     "$@"

===================================

when executed from "/c/cvs/gcl" gives the following result under MSYS 1.08:

===================================
$ /g/gclm/bin/gcl
/g/gclm/bin/gcl: /c/cvs/gcl/g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/saved_gcl.exe: No
such file or directory
/g/gclm/bin/gcl: exec:
/c/cvs/gcl/g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/saved_gcl.exe: cannot execute: No
such file or directory

===================================

That is, it adds the value of `pwd` onto the beginning of executable names
in the shell script before running them.

When the executable paths in the script are in MSYS canonical format eg
"/g/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/saved_gcl.exe" rather than the Mingw colon
format, the script works as expected.

Cheers
