Hi, Since I installed cygwin on a PC and I try to execute a bat file from the Windows command prompt (system32\cmd.exe), it does not work as expected. mkmf.bat is located in C:\tools\bin environment variable path=C:\tools\bin From a different directory, if I type: mkmf It works fine. Now if I change the path variable to path=C:\tools\bin;C:\cygwin\bin and I type mkmf I have an error message saying: Cannot find executable in PATH and if I type mkmf.bat I get the following error message: Cannot execute /cygdrive/c/tools/bin/mkmf.bat Can someone explain me what is happening? It is like if when the cygwin bin directory is added to the PATH variable, cygwin would have some kind of hooks on the Windows command prompt. I do not understand what is happening...
