Yes, GLib has G_DIR_SEPARATOR (and G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR). But I don't think a something like gimptool --cflags should blindly output the native Windows backslash separators. The reason is that one might have a Makefile containing something like: CFLAGS = `gimptool --cflags` And if that Makefile is interpreted by a Unixish make (like GNU Make), the backslashes get eaten... Windows compilers and tools also accept the (forward) slash character as dir separator in -I and similar options, so it's better to use that (in this context). OTOH, when invoked in the --install-* or --uninstall-* modes, the gimptool program runs copy or delete commands with system(). Those commands (actually built-ins in the command interpreter) don't accept (forward) slashes, so in that case gimptool does need to output the actual backslashes. Yes, this is all rather silly, and probably a bit scary to the majority of the readeers on this list... --tml
