Hello,

because I am not allowed to use Linux but forced to use Windows 2000 instead I am currently trying to port U-Boot to a Renesas SH7720 (SH-3 core) based platform using Cygwin and a precompiled, freely downloadable gcc 3.4 from KPIT Cummins (http://www.kpitgnutools.com/). Although this is definitely an issue of KPIT and not of U-Boot I am posting here with the hope that someone may have an idea how to fix or work around this problem. I sent the following text to KPIT's support team:

Today I got this reply from KPIT:

Hi, Thank you for using GNUSH tool chain.

The sh-elf-gcc compiler is built on MingW and not on cygwin. The native Gcc compiler that you have been using is a cygwin built compiler. That's why the path which works with Gcc , does not necessarily work with sh-elf-gcc as sh-elf-gcc recognizes absolute path.

6.) Compile the program using GNUSH's gcc. $ sh-elf-gcc -I/test/inc -o hello hello.c hello.c:2:19: hello.h: No such file or directory Fails!

You may specify path like following which works for cygwin gcc as well as for sh-elf-gcc,

$ sh-elf-gcc -I./../inc -o hello hello.c

Regards, GNU Support.

To me this sounds like GNUSH for Windows it not intended to be used with Cygwin. Using relative or c:/ based paths only is not really what a Cygwin user is looking for. That would mean that I need to run sed over every path returned by a native Cygwin command, e.g. pwd.
