This should be fixed in CVS, by using portability functions for file names.

(changed subject.)

as discussed, the best approach is probably to convert paths at the beginning of the program, and a patch to do so would be welcome.

Hello Patrice & Karl,

I am forking a new thread for this one, in order not to mix up discussion with the --html --no-split.

So to recall the problem, under MSWindows I call

sh makeinfo --html --no-split c:\my\path\fr.texi

the current directory is

c:\somewhere\else

and the problem is that the output is created under c:\my\path rather than under c:\somewhere\else

sh is MSYS bash shell, and makeinfo is just a wrapper bash script to call texi2any.

If I do sh makeinfo --html --no-split c:/my/path/fr.texi

there is no problem, but I think that I should be able to use \ instead of / because tex2any is installed under MSWindows. Actually it was more practical for me to use \ because I make this command line through an ant buildfile that generates file path this way. I can robustify this buildfile, but nevertheless, I think that there is an issue with texi2any.
