-convertpaths

Instructs the compiler to interpret # includefile paths specified for a foreign operating system. This command is global.

Syntax

  -[no]convertpaths

Remarks

The CodeWarrior compiler can interpret file paths from several different operating systems. Each operating system uses unique characters as path separators. These separators include:

Mac OS® - colon " :" ( :sys:stat.h)
UNIX - forward slash " /" ( sys/stat.h)
Windows® operating systems - backward slash " \" ( sys\stat.h)

When convertpaths is enabled, the compiler can correctly interpret and use paths like <sys/stat.h> or <:sys:stat.h>. However, when enabled, ( /) and ( :) separate directories and cannot be used in filenames.

Note: This is not a problem on Windows systems since these characters are already disallowed in file names. It is safe to leave this option on.

When noconvertpaths is enabled, the compiler can only interpret paths that use the Windows form, like <\sys\stat.h>.
