msys path conversion (or cygpath for msys?)

Question

I need to pass /DEF:c:\\filepath\\myLib.def\" command line option from a bash script to MS compiler/linker. The path is generated as part of build process by a bash script.

Answer 1

My bash foo is weak and I couldn't get regexes working in bash 3.1 so I hacked out a perl script for it:

#!/bin/env perl
use strict;

my @r;
foreach my $e (@ARGV) {
 $e=~s/\//\\/g;
 $e=~s/^\\([A-Za-z])\\/\1:\\/;
 push @r, $e;
}

print join(" ", @r);
