RE: Problem: Why the file in the mount (as system) directory can't be found?


Wtxtcl is not a Cygwin program, but as what I do, the environment are same
for both executions. The diffrence is the work directory.
In /:
$ wtxtcl /tornado/host/src/hutils/muntch.tcl
>      couldn't read file "host/src/hutils/munch.tcl": no such file or
directory
In /tornado
$ wtxtcl /tornado/host/src/hutils/muntch.tcl
(OK)

Because most likely wtxtcl is not a Cygwin program, and thus does not
understand Cygwin mounts (or Cygwin POSIX paths, for that matter).
