Subject: Workaround for cygwin's way of linking folders?
Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2020 22:41:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CPZP284MB000578B94B75ED84DE1EF39E8ECF0@CPZP284MB0005.BRAP284.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)
Hi all,
I'm setting up a cross platform development environment using Cygwin. Upon attempting to use Cygwin's CMake that is natively bundled, I discovered that Cygwin goes looking for the gcc in /usr/bin/cc, a folder that does not exist according to windows. I have familiarized myself with the Cygwin way of organizing it's folders, seen here https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.shortcuts and https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.directory-structure and thus I know that Cygwin's /usr/bin folder is in fact /bin - according to windows, anyways. However, I'm not familiar with how to work around that on windows. In particular, virtually all of my IDEs' attempts to call CMake fail, because I proceed to ask it to call the gcc and windows, as is explained in the above FAQ's, does not recognize the Cygwin-way of referencing folders.
Alas, my question - what is the recommended workaround?
