Error on make install on cygwin

[kieranshanley]

Hi there,

I am trying to build and install julia on cygwin. I checked out the source code from the github repo and ran

make; make install

Got all the way to cache stdlibs and then generated the following error:

Cache stdlibs

• build commit hash?
• julia\contrib\cache_stdlibs.jl Does this file really not exist?

[kieranshanley]

Good point I should have included the hash. The file does exist. It seems to be an issue with escaping the path separator.

Cheers

We miss some call cygpath_w here.

This problem was fixed for me when I tried it yesterday with the git master branch.

I did have to copy the mingw import library to get cygwin to build.

I guess this can be closed now?
