java - Linux javac command erroring on wildcard in classpath -

i running windows 7 java version 1.6.0_31-b05 on pc, , computerlab's network linux (fedora, possibly version 13) running java version 1.6.0_35-b10.

i have c:\myproject (et al) directory, src, lib, , bin subdirectories.

• the src folder contains of source code in tree structure, corresponds java packages.
• the lib directory contains jar files.

i have re-created tree in linux, under ../myproject (et al).

• when attempt compile in dos, ..\myproject\src directory, command below, works fine:

  javac -cp ".;../bin;../lib/*" -d ../bin org/unlv/schillerlab/motif_diversity/step02/*.java 

• when attempt compile in linux, ../myproject/src directory, message incorrect classpath: ../lib/*:

  javac -cp ".:../bin:../lib/*" -d ../bin org/unlv/schillerlab/motif_diversity/step02/*.java 

the computerlab network location accessible both dos , linux. in linux, first created ../myproject/src, ../myproject/lib, , ../myproject/bin directories. then, in dos, copied necessary files c drive ../myproject/src01 , ../myproject/lib01. then, in linux, used cp -av command populate src , lib src01 , lib01, respectively. therefore, don't think there linux permissions problem.

in linux, ../myproject/src location, issuing ls ../lib shows (sibling) lib directory contain jar files. have tried linux javac command absolute path lib directory; no joy.
similarly, tried removing quote (") marks -cp clause; no joy.

could problem running old version of fedora? if not, 1 have hypothesis problem is?

wildcard expansion may behave differently on linux on windows: in unixlike systems, shells duty perform wildcard expansion before arguments passed executable; on windows each programs own duty wildcard expansion (if @ all). in doubt replace javac echo see how wildcards expanded! , should rather use -sourcepath option javac define source location (can't tell if works, must have been 10+ years since last used that...)
