I don't know if SN was compiled for CYGWIN, or as a native WIN32 program
(tip: look at the DLLs needed by SN; if you don't find cygwin1.dll then SN
is a pure WIN32 program).

If SN is a pure WIN32 program then he will not be able to find /usr/bin/rm,
as this file, when viewed from Windows, is "C:\cygwin\usr\bin\rm", assuming
you installed cygwin in "C:\cygwin" as the installer propose it.

You must then put "C:\cygwin\usr\bin" in your Windows path, so that SN will
be able to find the cygwin tools.

PS: Note that with old versions of Cygwin (back to the B20 era), this was
not a problem as cygwin installed in the C: root directory by default; you
also can install newer cygwins there, although you get bored by the
installer that will insist that this is "not recommended", while I never
understand what the problem may be (and I'm using it installed there without
any problem for quite a long time).

SN is a pure Win 32 program.

This is the correct diagnosis. The path must have Windows pathnames in 
it for SN to work.

At hair pulling stage

[Jordan]

+ SN 5.0 Windows binaries running on Win2000
+ CYGWIN internet download last night


SNav cannot find "rm", "g++" or any other cygwin based program. It can
only find "make". I am assuming that SNav has its own version of make
and so doesn't need to go looking for it.

/usr/bin is in both my cygwin and windows path, ie. "which rm" yields
"/usr/bin/rm".

What gives? I thought that SNav would drive of at least one of these
paths.  Please help me identify the fix for this error as premature
balding is supposed to be a gift from nature not RH.

Regards,

J.

If you are trying to build SN on Win2000, You need first to have 
installed MSVC++,
make sure that cl.exe is in your path and some other environments of 
VC++ are set
correct.
Then in your bash shell set the enviroment:
set CC=cl
configure --prefix=<Your destination for SN>
make
