A few programs/libraries on windows demand windows only paths. So from a git bash terminal I had to do this:
$ export FOO="d:\\path\\to\\folder"
Is there an alternative to this?
Convert a posix path to windows in git bash (terminal or script)?

I have seen used in the past (for instance by Git itself) the cygpath command.
Convert Unix and Windows format paths, or output system path information
The
-uand-woptions indicate whether you want a conversion to UNIX (POSIX) format (-u) or to Windows format (-w).
propatience points out in the comments to the example "cygpath -u 'c:\cygwin\cygbuild\build.mak'", using single quote.
