[p4] Eclipse plugin - keeps saying '{path} not under client'sroot'- stumped

Don't replace it! The Cygwin build doesn't work under Windows. Just make
sure the new one is earlier in your PATH.

Thanks for the response!

The p4.exe I am using comes with P4 for Windows installation. I'll try to
replace P4.exe with the one from here:

First, are you using the Cygwin build of p4? That handles some things a
little better.

Second, search the list. There is some information that people have posted
in the past regarding path translation and mounting options to make Cygwin
work smoothly.

Hi guys!

I am having the same issue but with Cygwin. Whenever I try to do any
perforce related operation in opened Cygwin window, I am getting the
following:

	[14:36]$ p4 files *
	Path '/p4\code' is not under client's root 'C:/p4'.
	Path '/p4\p4tar.pl' is not under client's root 'C:/p4'.
	Path '/p4\p4untar.pl' is not under client's root 'C:/p4'.
	Path '/p4\tools' is not under client's root 'C:/p4'.

I don't have any mounts except for this one:

	[14:36]$ mount
	c: on / type system (binmode)

My client specs as follows:

	Root:	C:/p4
	Options:	noallwrite noclobber nocompress unlocked nomodtime
normdir

I tried both C:\p4 and the one above - useless. 

So what can I do to be able simply check out a file in Cygwin window? I am
getting annoyed with necessity to go back and forth between cmd windows.

-D

Ah, that was what I was thinking the whole time I should get done, but
I thought it was something that an admin had to setup for me so I
figured I'd wait on pursuing it (my initial client workspace was
already setup on this machine, so my ignorance about perforce assumed
it was an admin function). Turns out I was able to just create another
one myself and all is well.

I will be interested to try to figure out what was up with the
perforce plugin though.

Thanks again for your help! Suggesting a new workspace was perfect.
