Re: Fwd: Re: Swarm 2.2 pretest

[Pietro Terna]

        Hi Marcus,

        with pretest-2 and the cygwin1.dll of September 11
jdkswarm and gcc run perfectly.

        A minor problem: to have
type gcc
replying
gcc is /Swarm-2.2/bin/gcc
and not
gcc is /usr/bin/gcc

I've to set
export PATH=/Swarm-2.2/bin:$PATH

        In autoexec.bat I've
SET PATH=c:\Swarm-2.2\bin;\jdk1.3.1\bin;.;c:\PROGRA~1\TOOLS;%PATH%

but
echo $PATH in cygwin terminal gives
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/Swarm-2.2/BIN:/cygdrive/c/JDK1.3.1/BIN:.:/cygdrive
/c/PROGRA~1/TOOLS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/CO
MMAND

        Also changing the mount order doesn't sovle the problem.
