Geir interjected: > Have you built classlib successfully with cygwin? Yes. I use Cygwin all the time, and always build classlib from cygwin shell. However, it required a couple of things to configure: 1) during Visual Studio installation, tick "configure system environment" checkbox (or something similar) 2) rm /bin/link -- to make sure the 'link' command unambiguously resolves to Microsoft linker (Cygwin's /bin/link is useless program, similar to /bin/ln) I have also heard from some colleagues, that they were able to configure Cygwin to pick up visual studio environment from vsvars32.bat during bash startup, but do not know the exact details. The only way to configure Visual Studio environment at runtime I know is captured in DRLVM's build.bat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
