Path too deep???

[Clare]

Hello groups,

I would like to use Wine to run a Windows compiler "cc" to complie a c
file "test.c" on Linux, but I have the problem.

<try1>
    cd /a1/a2
    wine -- /usr/local/bin/cc -c /b1/b2/b3/b4/b5/b6/test.c -o test.o
    Catastrophic error: could not open source file \b1\b2\b3\b4\b5\b6\test.c

I try this in another way like this:

<try2>
    cd /a1
    wine -- /usr/local/bin/cc -c /b1/b2/b3/b4/b5/b6/test.c -o test.o

This works well.

Could you give me some informations why <try1> has the error?
    Thank you.

Best Regards,
Clare

Well, I admit this is rather curious, but it does beg the question: why
are you using a Windows version of "cc" when you already have gcc which
apparently works exactly the same way? If you want to produce windows EXE
files using a C compiler on Linux then you can install a cross compiler,
that's what I do ...
