Hi,
I am running cygwin 1.7.x on Windows 2008. I realise this may be out of 
date but this is what we are using.
I have noticed that the path variable for our build user is dependent 
on where "cmd /C" is run from.
Please see below - I have cut back the PATH so that it does not 
overwhelm. Notice the extra C; before the non cygwin entries. And when 
run from e drive, the C; remains but the c: becomes e:. And this is the 
problem - the path when run from c is messy but works. The path when run 
from e (which is where we do run from) does not work.

Can anyone explain this. I guess one way round this is to explicitly 
call the necessary programs without relying on PATH. But interested why 
this happens.

Regards,
John
