The incredible shrinking PATH

2003-11-07 Thread Mark Sheppard
Hi, We're getting a problem where a native windows console program invoked from an interactive Cygwin bash shell seems to be getting a truncated PATH environment variable. The windows program in question is Boost Jam and for some people it can't find a compiler that's definitely in a directory in

RE: How do you pronounce GCC and Cygwin?

2002-05-03 Thread Mark Sheppard
I normally pronounce it with a long "i" sound (s-eye-gwin, as in cyclops or cycle), although I've heard others pronounce it with a short "i" sound (as in signal) as Cliff seems to. He doesn't speak for the entire country as I'm in England too! I can't see how you could pronounce GCC other than s

If your INFOPATH variable is correctly set to /usr/info then I'd say that the problem is that your info directory page doesn't include a full index to all the info files like it should. The install-info program is used to keep the "dir" index file up to date by adding the appropriate entries from

Hi, I'm trying to get a GLUT application compiled under cygwin and am having a spot of bother. I've got it going fine under Linux (my preferred platform - I try not to touch Windows if I can help it), but I'd like to have Windows users be able to run it too and Cygwin seemed the obvious choice.
