 Hi,

This is the fix that makes things work for me. In the specific Makefile
I just ensure that all backward slashes are substituted with forward
ones in the path that fullPathName.pl generates.

As different installations of perl seems to produce different results I
think it's is probably a reasonable solution to just force forward
slashes in this case where the specific problem is that the path is
being passed on to C and used as a string...

I can get both forward and backward slashes.

Looks like perl is not completely consistent.
