Re: Can't run Mingw gcc from Cygwin
Hallo,
I faced similar problems with -mno-cygwin. So I installed the mingw
stuff and changed the PATH in ~/.bashrc to
/cygdrive/where_mingw_is:$PATH and everything worked fine. If I have to
compile with pure cygwin I comment out this line.
Best regards,
Alexander.
