Primarily the goal of cygwin is to provide a linux-like environment and linux-like behaviour, and from that point of view the ability to switch the system default compiler was something that was a deficiency while it was missing. We don't go out of our way to break other usages such as an external win32 app trying to launch a cygwin app from a non-cygwin environment, but we can't always make everything compatible with win32 at the expense of linux compatability. I am surprised you're having problems though, as with /bin in the windows PATH and invoking the particular compiler by name it should all "just work". (Yeah... famous last words!) It might also be possible to use "cygstart" as a wrapper to launch the plain "gcc" shortcut and even take advantage of the "alternatives" wrapper from within your applications, although I can't promise. > Best, > Eileen > > > Dave Korn-6 wrote: Hey!
