I'm using Cygwin to compile a library. The library is not stored within the same directory as Cygwin. I need to navigate to this directory in order to compile the library. The Cygwin shell only allows me to go back as far as the Cygwin root directory using cd .. .
The command su returns the following:
su: user root does not exist
How do I navigate my hard drive using Cygwin if the su command doesn't work?
As suggested by Wooble, the solution is to use the command /cygdrive/ , followed by the drive letter. So, to access the root of the C: drive, type cd /cygdrive/c.
