Things work fine if I run ming gcc under the NT command shell. When I run ming gcc under bash it returns to the bash prompt without doing anything. I obviously suspected environment variable differences but don't see anyhing that seems significant except the $PATH variable. Can ming run under cygwin bash? Do I need a wrapper or something which translates the path back to DOS format? Also: I would appreciate some feedback on my general strategy. I want to use cygwin UNIX environment to port a complex UNIX based development environment which builds a UNIX based product that needs to evolve gradually to Win95/NT native. Also this product is intensely threads based. The ming compiler run from cygwin bash under ntemacs seems the most reasonable place to start this effort. I chose ming because historical comments on this list suggest it is more thread safe than cygwin. Assuming that this is the correct approach all I have to do is get the three components of my strategy working together.
