There is some issues about whether WINTOOL must be set for MSYS2 as well as WINTOOL. 1. Symlinks: If CYWGIN is used, symbolic links are used unless WINTOOL is defined then directories are copied. MSYS2 doesn't support symobolic links. The 'ln' comman works but always does a directory copy. So WINTOOL is not needed for symbolic links with MSYS2. 2. Path Conversions: Both CYGWIN and MSYS2 support cygpath. All toolchain paths must be converted to Windows paths using cygpath for for both CYGWIN and MSYS2. But WINTOOL was never set for MSYS2. I don't know how that worked??? I did have to do a fix for this in boards/Board.mk recently with regard to the ZDS-II toolchain which always wants Windows paths for either CGYWIN or MSYS2. I don't understand how MSYS2 with a native toolchain works. I had no problems with the MSYS ZDS-II build other with boards/Board.mk. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
