genio> plicease: xenu: the main issue I'm having at the moment is that all of the tooling for the https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/build-extlibs repo and others requires a Z: drive label. The Windows docker setup to get us a build platform here https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/spbuild can't create a Z drive label that's in any way useful. The "Volume" command in Docker just doesn't do what we need even though it creates a Z volume.
genio> So, we're putting everything in C:\spbuild and then half-assing a Z: label for it. However, the PATH setting seems to refuse to work when you place something from the Z: label on it.
genio> So, to get around that, we need to rework the tooling to use some sort of configurable directory rather than relying on Z: everywhere. My best suggestion is maybe an environment variable called SPBUILD or something that has the root directory we'll be using for everything. Each script in the build-extlibs repo would need to be updated to take that into account. Z: is hard-coded everywhere (according to grep -RiE 'z:' *
genio> Most of the tooling uses batch scripting to kick off the bash script builds within the Msys2+MinGW environment. Those bash scripts even use the Z drive location. patch files use that location. it's a big redo 
genio> Can either of you come up with an alternative?
