Hi I recently upgraded my Cygwin to 1.3.18-1 (on Win 2K SP1) and am now noticing interrmittent failures from cygpath.
When I run ant I sometimes get the following error, other times it works fine(!): $ ant -version C:\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe: *** can't create title mutex, Win32 error 6 Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly. We cannot execute java hanleyd@UKDB002443 /tools/assembler $ echo $JAVA_HOME c:\jdk1.3.1 hanleyd@UKDB002443 /tools/assembler $ export JAVA_HOME=/cygwin/c/jdk1.3.1 hanleyd@UKDB002443 /tools/assembler $ echo $JAVA_HOME /cygwin/c/jdk1.3.1 hanleyd@UKDB002443 /tools/assembler $ ant -version C:\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe: *** can't create title mutex, Win32 error 6 Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly. We cannot execute java The offending line in the ant script seems to be: JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --unix "$JAVA_HOME"` but when I execute this from the commandline all is well: $ echo JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --unix "$JAVA_HOME"` JAVA_HOME=/cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1 afaik nothing else has changed apart from upgrading Cygwin, has anyone else experienced this? Or have any pointers as to what I should be looking at?
