similar to: How convert Linux path to Windows path like "cygpath" does?

I would like to be able to start the Wine .chm file-viewer, C:\windows\hh.exe, from the command-line like this: wine hh.exe /some/dir/somefile.chm It works if the current directory contains the .chm file, but not if I have to specify a path. Am I missing something?

The cygwin 'cygpath' command can now convert arbitrary windows and unix paths into the short ms-dos 8.3 equivalents. This tools might allow the windows build system to better deal with those messy long Windows file and directory names that contain spaces. EG: warneg@GRDGROL99X1028: src [1]$ pwd /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/WarnesGR/My Documents/cygwin_home/src/gregmisc/src

Well I hate to say it, but I'm back again with new problems in WinWord. I haven't touched the setup since August when everything was working ok, however I have been doing package updates, which included updates to wine1.3. Today when I tried to open up winword, I get the following pasted below)... I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office2003 (typical install), and I confirmed in

below is a very simple bash script to run Sweave from a cygwin terminal, run pdflatex on the generated .tex file, and then view the resulting .pdf output. i usually use cygwin when i am (forced to be on) Windoze, but i found a few issues with paths that this script works around. pdfview, used in the script, is simply:

Hi, I'm seeing a weird problem with rsync 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on Debian Sarge. When copying a file from one location to another between two Debian boxes, if destination includes a file with same size and name, rsync fails to see that they are not exactly the same file. The situation originates from copying a file to a place which is periodically rsynced onwards, and the rsync

I''m writing a website with a feature that hosts images that people upload. Right now, relative paths works within on my Windows box. So specifically, I''m able to call File.open on "public/images/somefile.jpg" and Rails/WEBrick understands that the path is relative to the home directory of the project. This means that "public/images/somefile.jpg" ends up

R 2.5.1 compiled, passed the make check and has been successfully running for a couple years on a Sun Fire V490 running Solaris 9. I need a newer version of R, but can't get a newer version of R to pass the make check. I've tried 2.8.1, 2.7.2, 2.6.2 and 2.6.0. (2.5.1 still passes on this server) At this point I thought I'd try to compile it on another Sun server (Solaris 10),

Hi, I know I can create a file and mount it like this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/somefile bs=1024 count=100000 mke2fs /tmp/somefile mount /tmp/somefile /mnt -o loop but that has a problem it cannot grow. Is there a way to do the same (above) but have it not restricted to a size? Or can I append blocks to the end of the file without distroying it? Jobst -- Sendmail administration

Hi, when building the llvm cfe (3.4 derivative), for the mingw platform, I get this error: 'error: there are no arguments to `lrand48' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of `lrand48' must be available'. ------------------------ make[3]: Entering directory `/C/projects/build/MinGW/llvm-gcc-1-1/i686-pc-mingw32/libstdc++-v3/testsuite'

Hi all, I was busy programming a tool to automatically run some tests to update the FLAC comparison page (http://xiph.org/flac/comparison.html) when I stumbled across some weird behaviour of the flac program. So I compiled from git and it seems that this bug still is there. As I don't have any experience on coding C and don't know which bug-report facility to use, this seemed the

Hi Henrik, We haven't modified the GCC configure script or build system, so I don't know what

Hi, In a file resource I want to be able to specify multiple template contents. If the 1st template doesn''t exist use the 2nd listed and so on. Much like how the source attribute works. Basically this: file { "/tmp/somefile.txt": ensure => present, content => [ template("somefile-$fqdn.erb"),

Kerry's post looks very promising: | It can but is probably not as nice as you would like. It's a huge improvement over what I can do now. Thank you! | flac -t *.flac Now, that doesn't work for me. I know that command.com doesn't glob wildcards but rather expects the application to do it, and apparently flac.exe doesn't. Under a real shell that wouldn't be a problem,

We have an odd situation with a puppet 3 installation. It isnt serving out the module local files. We understand (Somewhat) about the new auth.conf requirements, and have filled those out. So, access to things such as puppet:///files/etc/somefile.conf are working fine. However, attempts to access puppet:///modulename/somefile.conf fail, with (in the case of modulename==java) Error:

This sounds suspiciously like the problem I ran into with VC++, whose std implementation also includes _Distance. Could mingw have copied VC++ too closely? The fix with VC++ was to add a "using std::_Distance" line (or just "using namespace std".

Hi all, I'm running rsync version 2.6.3 protocol version 28 on Solaris 8 and am having a problem. We have some scripts that wrap around rsync and generate a list of files to transfer from the sending system (regardless of whether that directory exists on the receiver). I was expecting rsync to fail when transferring files with a path that doesn't exist on the receiver (in fact

Hi, I have samba running on a home LAN using a Linksys mixed wired (100 Mbit ethernet) & wireless access point, which also does NAT to a DSL modem. The server is connected to this access point via an ethernet cable. Clients can connect via wireless or wired network connection. I am using encrypted passwords, and have in smb.conf: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096

Dear friends: I am pleased to say that I successfully installed Internet Explorer Sp1 on my Linux (Scientific Linux 4.0, which is based on RHEL 4) using Wintools. After installing IE6, I thought installing WordView (the Word97 word view program) would be a snap. But instead Wintools failed to install it in several attempts. It started, downloaded the file and tried to install it. But at
