[M3devel] cl on windows

[Jay K]

Cygwin is fine. Really. You can mix them.
The problem is that both cl.exe and mspdb90.dll need to be in path, and VC link.exe needs to be ahead of Cygwin link.exe, or delete Cygwin link.exe.


C:\Users\jay>which cl
/cygdrive/c/msdev/90/VC/BIN/cl
 
C:\Users\jay>which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
 
C:\Users\jay>which cvs
/usr/bin/cvs
 
C:\Users\jay>gcc -v
...
gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
C:\Users\jay>cvs
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]

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.
