The root cause of the failing build in Windows is missing support for get_current_dir_name() GNU extension in MinGW for Windows. The solution is to use getcwd(NULL, 0) common call.

It is building in both Linux and Windows and gets proper result for testcase:

message "Hit a key to start".
pause.

define variable chCurrDir as character format "x(256)" no-undo.

chCurrDir = get-working-directory().

message "Current directory is: " chCurrDir.

So I think the change is safe for filesys.c:

JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL
   Java_com_goldencode_p2j_util_FileSystemDaemon_getWorkingDir(JNIEnv *env, jclass jc)
{
   char* curr_dir = NULL;
   jstring jsRes = NULL;
   // use common function instead of GNU extension one because Windows does not support it
   curr_dir = (char*)getcwd(NULL, 0);
...

Greg, I can commit the change to trunk or we can provide single fixed file to users. What will be our deploy strategy here?

Please put the change into 3706a AND also post the updated file here so that customers can access it before we release the FWD v3.3 version.

Please change the comment to // use the common CRT function which works on both Windows and Linux/UNIX.

OK.
