Description Brent Fulgham 2007-12-01 22:48:06 PST
Pre-Build event in WebCore.vcproj states:

"set PATH=%SystemDrive%\cygwin\bin;%PATH%"

This assumes Cygwin is installed on the C: drive (or rather, the main drive).  However, Cygwin could be installed almost anywhere.

It's probably a reasonable assumption in the general case, but it might be better to require users to declare a specific environment variable for this, or add Cygwin to their PATH variable before starting the build.

There may be other instances of this in the various build and Makefiles.
