I am completely new to MSYS and I am trying to use it so that I can run a build
script within another product called GRLIB  from these people
http://www.gaisler.com/

Their stuff is developed under linux, and it said it would work in windows using
MSYS.

The problem I have found is that Windows environment variables containing paths
are not translated into posix paths, and thus don't work - for example

in Windows
set TESTPATH=C:\Windows\*.log

in MSYS
cp $TESTPATH   .

results in the error
$ cp $TESTPATH .
cp: cannot stat `C:\Windows\*.log': No such file or directory

I have also seen an error where the slashes are removed completely during a
make, resulting in the following error

cp D:\MyProjects\FPGAs\SOC\grlib-eval-1.0/boards//config .config
cp: cannot stat `D:MyProjectsFPGAsSOCgrlib-eval-1.0/boards//config': No such
file or directory
make: *** [config] Error 1

Also... In this website Where on earth do you join this project so you can put
posts into mailgroups... I can't seem to find a 'join this project' button or
page.
