DS development > Support for /cygdrive/ in devkitarm?

#147623 - Dwedit - Mon Dec 24, 2007 8:00 pm

Is it possible to modify devkitarm to support /cygdrive/c/ style paths in addition to /c/ style paths? I think that might be the only thing breaking cygwin compatibility.

On the cygwin side you could mount c: as /c, in your startup cygwin bat file, to get the devkitarm style path/behavior.

Code:
mount -f -s c: /c


That should work, unless I've misinterpreted your intentions.

Thanks! I've moved all my drive letters to the root directory, and made symlinks in the old cygdrive folder.
But devkitpro still doesn't work. Oh well, it's always nice to not have to type "cygdrive" all the time.

devkitARM doesn't support /c/ style paths. MSYS uses that path format, the toolchain is windows native and uses standard windows paths.

cygwin is not now, nor will it ever be a supported platform.

What Dwedit is seeing has something to do with the fact that Bash and Make from MSYS both convert MSYS paths (/c/devkitPro/devkitARM/bin) to Windows paths (C:\devkitPro\devkitARM\bin), right?

Dwedit: What else did you need Cygwin for?
