Bug Report

Aloha from Honolulu,
The version info is at the end of this.  I'm not sure which program has the
bug; AVR GCC or AVR Studio 4.  Let me explain:

I'm using AVR Studio 4 and making the project in AVR GCC.  My OS is Windows XP
so all my directory slashes are backwards "\".  I use the Project Configuration
Options to set up my Include & Library file paths, so I didn't need an external
makefile.  The Configuration Options uses a graphic tree to show the path
chosen.  There seems no way to edit it manually.  The program compiled and
worked correctly.  My complaint is that I discovered an error in the file paths
when I tried to look at some of the files under External Dependencies in the
AVR GCC Project Window.  None would open.  Clicking on File Properties created
this Error message in the Messages Window:

gcc plug-in: C:AVR_Libcavrinclude\util\delay.h contains an invalid path.
gcc plug-in: C:AVR_Libcavrinclude\avr\io.h contains an invalid path.

The correct paths are:
C:AVR_Libc\avr\include\util\delay.h
C:AVR_Libc\avr\include\avr\io.h

As it happens both of these files are in sub-directories of
AVR_Libc\avr\include and the include statements in the program code use a
forward slash:
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>

So I can see that where the backward slashes were used, they are ignored, but
the forward slashes are acknowledged.

I am afraid this is a bug in the program, but whether in AVR GCC or AVR Studio
I don't know.  I think if I could enter the path using forward slashes, into
the Configuration Options, there would be no error.  But I haven't found a way
to do that.

I hope this contributes to the further improvement/development of these
programs as I enjoy working with them.

Thank You,

I don't know where to find the info for AVR GCC.  I'm using WinAVR (20060421)
There is an avr-gcc-3.4.6 in the \bin directory (also an avr-gcc.exe) I don't
know what AVR Studio is using.

AVRLibc is 1.4.4

My OS is Windows XP Pro, version 2002, Service Pack 2.
