RE: compilation errors trying to build unzip on cygwin

[Soren <somian08@gmail.com>]

Hi, again. I sent a request for help with this build. Then I put on my
thinking cap and snatched in the cygwin src for this pkg, which is new
(6.0). Yet I still cannot build. Thus, here is the output on my console:
But first, weirdly we are finding a different make:
$  which make
/usr/bin/make
 ((alright))
$ make -f unix/Makefile cygwin
C:/ix/gnuwin32/bin/make unzips CC=gcc LD=gcc AS=gcc\
         CFLAGS="-O3 -DASM_CRC -DNO_LCHOWN -DNO_LCHMOD"\
         AF="-Di386  " CRCA_O=crc_gcc.o\
         E=".exe" CP="cp" LN="ln -s"

My PATH before cygwin manages it looks like:
[1] C:\windows\system32
[2] C:\windows
[3] C:\windows\System32\Wbem
[4] C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
[5] C:\windows\System32\OpenSSH\
[6] C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common
[7] C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR
[8] C:\ix\putty\
[9] C:\perl\c\bin
[10] C:\perl\perl\site\bin
[11] C:\perl\perl\bin
[12] C:\ix\gnuwin32\bin
[13] C:\Users\somia\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
[14] C:\ix\mingw\bin
[15] C:\Perl\bin

After diving into Cygwin-dom:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/windows:/cygdrive/c/windows/System32/Wbem
:/cygdrive/c/windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/windows/System32/OpenSSH:/cygdrive/c/Program

win32/bin:/cygdrive/c/Users/somia/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/cygdrive/c/ix/mingw/bin:/cygdrive/c/Perl
/bin

Hmmm, right? Why would make spawn submakes that don't come earlier in PATH?
