 Hello!

 In the project configuration i can choose "Cygwin toolchain", and it correctly detects c:/Cygwin as installation root.

 Well, this is too philosophical IMHO and is outside of question's scope.
 My takeout from your reply so far:
 1. No, there is no special support in CMake and there will never be one because mixing native Windows tools and Cygwin tools is not supported by Cygwin project
 2. You don't know whether Code::Blocks has any special support for Cygwin paths.

 Thank you very much for your time, i'll try to raise this in CMake development community and/or Code::Blocks development community. This issue could be solved on both sides.

Kind regards,
