RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Translating cross compiled paths
|
Øyvind,
There is already some code in CDT that makes use of
the Cygwin 'cygpath' utility to translate to/from POSIX
paths where needed. You may want to examine where this
is currently used, and see if you can generalize the
usage patterns. I've been meaning to do something
similar, but haven't had the time to make a serious
effort about it.
