Yes, the warning comes about in part due to the use of an unquoted path with spaces. The primary purpose of cygwin is not for the use of "native" Windows applications. In case you do want that, a useful possibility is to set up the paths correctly in a command prompt window for the Windows applications, then run the cygwin.bat so as to superimpose the cygwin environment. -- Tim Prince -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
