What I want is link to be the path that is found under
my BIN directory of my DevStudio install. However possibily because
they're the same name when I query link, or try and use it to make a
dll. Bash thinks I am using link to make a symbolic link as opposed to a
dll.
Your PATH evidently has the Cygwin tools before the VC++ tools, so it's
finding /usr/bin/link before VC++'s link.exe.
Instead of using the VC++ Command Shell, I always start from the Cygwin
shell. Then when I need to use the VC++ command line tools, I use the
following script to create a VC++ subshell, which I call vcvars9:
---------------- 8< --------- cut here ---------- 8< ------------
#!/bin/sh
export VSDIR="c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0"
export VCDIR="$VSDIR\VC"
WSDKDIR="c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A"
PSDKDIR="$VCDIR\PlatformSDK"
ATLDIR="$VCDIR\ATLMFC"
COMDIR="$VSDIR/Common7"
export INCLUDE=\
"$ATLDIR\include;$VCDIR\include;$PSDKDIR\include;$WSDKDIR\include"
export LIB="$ATLDIR\lib;$VCDIR\lib;$PSDKDIR\lib;$WSDKDIR\lib"
export LIBPATH="$ATLDIR\lib"
export PATH=\
"$VCDIR/bin:$PSDKDIR/bin:$COMDIR/ide:$COMDIR/Tools:$COMDIR/Tools/bin":$PATH
echo "Say 'exit' to leave VS2008 shell and restore Cygwin environment."
/usr/bin/bash --rcfile ~/.vcvars9rc
---------------- 8< --------- cut here ---------- 8< ------------
In ~/.vcvars9rc, I have just a single line to change the prompt string
to remind myself that I'm in a subshell:
PS1='VS2008: \W \$ '
On exiting the shell, your previous Cygwin environment is restored.
