From 8e4630867ddb934550e9191164970d8de2ab368e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 06:59:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mingw: deprecate old-style runtime-prefix handling in interpolate_path() On Windows, an absolute POSIX path needs to be turned into a Windows one. We used to interpret paths starting with a single `/` as relative to the runtime-prefix, but now these need to be prefixed with `%(prefix)/`. Let's warn for now, but still handle it.
