I tried that too....sorry, should have specified before. I am not
completely sure where eclipse is pulling the PATH when spawning an outside
process, like cmd.exe. I assume since a .bat to run eclipse like:
set PATH=blah;blah;c:\cygwin\bin;%PATH%
call eclipse.exe
doesn't seem to work
And sending Path in the call to eclipse as vmargs like:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dsystem.path=Blah;blah;%PATH%
doesn't work either....
I am guessing that eclipse is either pulling the PATH evironment variable
dynamically from the XP system settings and sending that as the "PATH" for
cmd.exe, or it is just making a plain vanilla call to cmd.exe without
supplying PATH information (so by default, it gets whatever the XP System
PATH variable is currently...It's probably this);however, eclipse does
seem to set other environment things like CLASSPATH, etc; since I don't
have the right CLASSPATH settings in the XP environment variables....well
besides the normal SDK1.5 stuff... ;) Maybe they just send the Classpath
as a VMARG? and that's how they get around it for external stuff like Ant
maybe , etc...?
Anyone with some insights on this and maybe a fix? Should this be a
Workspace setting with Project override/append ability? It seems like a
lot of work to make these changes in each 'external' process call, right?
Oh yes, I also tried... In a CDT project, I changed all the
build/make/discovery/etc calls to c:\cygwin\bin\...make/gcc/g++/etc, but
now eclipse can't find all the libraries...like cygwinBlah.dll. Clearly a
path issue when calling those processes...Right?
Thanks in advance.

Since all seems to be well when eclipse is started from a cygwin prompt, I
did:
* eclipse.cmd
----
start <cygwin-bin>\bash.exe --login -c <full path>\eclipse.sh
----
* eclipse.sh
----
#!/bin/bash
cd <full cygwin path to eclipse>
/eclipse.exe
----
Even with the call to "start" I have to close the cmd window manually, but
it automates starting eclipse in a way that makes building work (I only
tried managed make).
It's definitely a hack, but I was far too lazy work out something that
looks more like a solution :-)
