The particular error, which I previously described as "Fails with missing headers" is a message that says the file is not found (my apologies, I don't have the verbatim text in front of me, nor a way to run it again right now as I am home for the day). The files that it says are missing, are in fact, right where they belong. The problem is that the compiler can only find them if relative paths (./ ../, etc.) are provided in the build command, not if the entire path is specified. This is an extremely large compile, and it is not feasible, nor should it be necessary, for us to try to change every instance of each call in all of the makefiles to use relative paths. As stated in my original post, the pathname specified in the -I parameter to the compiler is correct, down to the last letter in both spelling and capitalization. The path does access my c: drive via the a /c mount point, listed in the mount table in the original post, and the suspicion was that somehow that mount point isn't functioning correctly, either because of a misconfiguration on my part or because of a bug in cygwin. Since providing access to files in the file system is the job of OS, which for this executable is cygwin, I thought it perfectly appropriate to post to the _cygwin_ mailing list. I don't know for certain that this is a problem with cygwin, but I certainly don't know that it's _not_ a probem with cygwin, either. I simply wanted to go fishing for anyone who may have experienced anything like this, with any type of application running under cygwin. If there is a more appropriate place to post, please let me know. Wind River technical support is certainly a valid suggestion that I will use if I need to.
