CYGWIN Notes
You must have the directory mounted as binary, or the build will not succeed.
In the example below, /workspace is mounted as binary.
You should setup cygwin to use binmode on all mounts. When you initially
install cygwin it gives you the choice of Unix file mode (recommended) or DOS
file mode. Unix mode will cause all the cygwin directories to be mounted in
binmode, while DOS will mount the dirs in textmode. Here is an example of a
cygwin install where the dirs are (properly) mounted in binmode.
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
c:\workspace on /workspace type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
n: on /cygdrive/n type user (textmode,noumount)
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
If you use textmode, it is likely that the build will fail in a way that is
hard to debug.
Cygwin is pretty slow, so it is not recommended for large builds.
