Hi all,
I'm setting up a cross platform development environment using Cygwin. Upon
attempting to use Cygwin's CMake that is natively bundled, I discovered that
Cygwin goes looking for the gcc in /usr/bin/cc, a folder that does not exist
according to windows. I have familiarized myself with the Cygwin way of
organizing it's folders, seen here
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.shortcuts and
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.directory-structure and thus I know that
Cygwin's /usr/bin folder is in fact /bin - according to windows, anyways.
However, I'm not familiar with how to work around that on windows. In
particular, virtually all of my IDEs' attempts to call CMake fail, because I
proceed to ask it to call the gcc and windows, as is explained in the above
FAQ's, does not recognize the Cygwin-way of referencing folders.
Alas, my question - what is the recommended workaround?
It's hard to answer this question without knowing exactly what your IDE is
doing. Can you give a detailed recipe for reproducing the problem without using
an IDE? In general, Cygwin's CMake should have no problem executing /usr/bin/cc
unless something is interfering with Cygwin's normal path handling routines.
