<DIV>I don't think you want to be doing this with cygwin. That would mean you are executing in a cygwin environment, not a true Windows-only environment.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For the Visual Studio command line to work, you have to run the script that sets up the environment variables. From the Windows Start menu, there should be a menu tree labeled "Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition-->Visual Studio Tools-->Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt". Choosing this item from the menu will bring up a command prompt with the environment set up properly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alternately, you can run the following command from an existing command prompt window: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Note that the above command line assumes you have installed Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. The paths may be different for different versions of the software.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of course, if you use my CMD files (e.g., cm3PromptHere.CMD or cm3SetupCmdEnv.CMD), they do this all for you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
