what is executed here is not cygwin bash, but msys bash, which is AFAIK a
native win32 program that cannot understand cygwin paths such as /tmp.

no idea what is going wrong here; perhaps a consequence of all the
previous errors?

because i don't build on windows if i can at all avoid it, i don't really
have a good idea what may cause this.  perhaps you have some variable like
TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP pointing to /tmp?

try setting these to some mixed-notation value e.g. "f:/cygwin/tmp", see
if that helps...

[btw, the general dev@ooo list is a better place to ask about build
problems than the API list.]

 enough to carefully review dull code.  We've tried.  It does not work.

 boilerplate is key, and ML is very good at that." -- Yaron Minsky
