If so, it's a bug in the software. /usr/lib is a prefectly valid path. > At least the round-trip works: > cygwin_create_path (CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_A, "/usr/lib") -> "C:\cygwin\lib" > so a directory existing in the Windows world is again addressed; however, > this does not work if the directory is preceded with the cygwin root: > cygwin_create_path (CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_A, "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/lib") -> > "C:\cygwin\usr\lib" The latter is not supposed to work. The cygdrive prefix is not supposed to be used to point inside the Cygwin root dir. Logically it's an entire different path: /usr/lib != /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/lib.
