Windows: does cygwin have to be in my PATH? [message #153801] Tue, 13 September 2005 09:02 Go to next message

Hello, this is my first post here. :)

I was wondering if c:/cygwin/bin has to be in my path, or if there's
another way that Eclipse can find make, gcc, etc. What effect does the
CYGPATH environment variable have on Eclipse/CDT?

Thanks,
Rich

Hi,

If you use cygwin, you need that path.
However because I don't want it always in the path,
I use instead following batch file to run eclipse.

% eclipse.bat
path=c:\cygwin\bin;%path%
start eclipse.exe

or in case of mingw
% eclipse.bat
path=E:\mingw\bin;E:\msys\1.0\bin\;%path%
start eclipse.exe

This has one disadvantage (in case of cygwin):
your programs will run from eclipse, but if run standalone it will need to
now
where cygwin1.dll is. In my case I just copy cygwin1.dll from cygwin/bin do
programs work directory.
