doubt with /pc/

When you try to open a file with /pc/, what pc dir are you really using? C:? the elf dir, dc-tool-ip dir, or what?

If you're using linux or Mac OS X (or any other *nix), its generally /
If you're using Cygwin, its generally the directory that cygwin is installed in (C:\Cygwin)
If you're using MSYS/MinGW, its generally C:\

I use the following in my Makefile (Cygwin here):

run: $(TARGET).bin
dc-tool.exe -b 115200 -c . -x "$(TARGET).bin"

The '-c' argument tells dc-tool to use the current folder.

Problems with the /pc/ thing.
I am using kubuntu linux. I compiled all the dc toolchain and tools(sh, arm, kos, dc-tool-ip).
the problem is that i dont know where does /pc/ directs the program to.
supposdly it is to /(root).
but it is not working like that.

How can i know where is /pc/ taking me?

PD. Using dc-tool-ip 1.0.3 in linux and 1.0.4 on DC.

Ok, i figured something weird.
/pc/ redirects me to the root (/).
What doesn't work is fopen.
Why isn't printf neither fopen working??
This is a KOS problem, isnt it? Supposdly KOs controls the standar lib.
Whats wrong?
Was my compilation that bad?

does the user that runs dctool have rights to open the files you want to ?

Watch for the path, it works by me.

The file i tried to open is in the home directory, so it is suppose it is not protected.
i tried somethin likes this:

file=fopen("/pc/home/dospro/file", "rb");

And this doesnt open the file, even though the file is there.

What else can ia do?

You can use strace to spy on system calls made by a Linux program, which includes file operations.

Are you sure you've declared the file descriptor correctly?

Well, still a stranger thing.
/cd/file doesnt work either.
It doesnt even read the cd inserted.

hell..
why is this??
