Re: Xalan and path problem

Hi,
we use Xalan on our UNIX/LINUX machines and I want now to the same on
Cygwin. I installed Xerces+Xalan(the windows binaries).
In our UNIX scripts the call to Xalan is:
Xalan -o $RESULTFILE $XMLFILE $XSLFILE
where $RESULTFILE, $XMLFILE and $XSLFILE are specified as
UNIX-paths.
That doesn't work under Cygwin I had to write:
Xalan -o `cygpath -w $RESULTFILE` ...
Of course I could now write
if $cywin ; then
Xalan -o `cygpath -w $RESULTFILE` ...
else
Xalan -o $RESULTFILE $XMLFILE $XSLFILE
fi
but I don't want change the script.
Is there another way to solve the problem ?
Yeah - get Xalan to understand unix paths. No Windows app will understand
full cygwin paths, although most do understand the / as a path separator.
Maybe you can create a cygwin version Xalan (whatever that is).
