In test cases for relative_path, path with one leading character (such as /a, /x) may be recogonized as "a:/" or "x:/" if there is such DOS drive on MINGW platform. Use an umambigous leading path "/foo" instead. Also change two leading slashes (//) to three leading slashes (///), otherwize it will be recognized as UNC name on MINGW platform.
Note that the path mangling comes from MSYS [1], not MinGW, so you should place "MINGW" with "MSYS" in several places. As a side-note, the official spelling is "MinGW", not "MINGW".
-relative_path /a/b/c/ /a/b/ c/
+relative_path /foo/a/b/c/ /foo/a/b/ c/
Wouldn't it have been more straight-forward to just replace "a" with "foo", "b" with "bar" and "c" with "baz" (or whatever)? So that the first line would say relative_path /foo/bar/baz/ /foo/bar/ baz/ Thanks for the fix! [1] http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion -- Sebastian Schuberth
