The Cygwin paths are added in '/etc/profile'. Obviously, you can
remove them though that will make your configuration non-standard

inaccessible when running 'bash', which doesn't sound like what
you really want. Obviously, you could add the Cygwin paths
somewhere else to give Symbian priority but this is likely to just
cause other conflicts and, again, not be what you really want. So
to me, the question comes down to which tools to you really want to
use, Symbian's, Cygwin's, or something else? Once you can answer
that, you should be able to configure things so that you get the
proper set for your needs.
Thanks for the info. My intention is not to throw Cygwin and it's
utilities away; but to move Cygwin path towards the end when--and only
when--I run Symbian tool chain, because, AFAIK, Symbian tool chain
doesn't ask for any tools from Cygwin.
But your batch file is invoking Cygwin's bash. Perhaps if you decouple
things there, then they will work as you expect without changing other
things in your environment. Moving Cygwin paths to the end of the path
in '/etc/profile' would have the effect of making everything else in
the system with a like name override the Cygwin version, even when you're
using Cygwin and want the Cygwin versions. I expect this is not at all
what you want.
By the way, did anybody get a change to look at my screencast?
I did not have a chance to, no. Is there something there that you believe
significantly changes the context of your original question?
