I have not yet got to the point of running ant - I'm still hoping to not
need to build from source to do a basic demo. I was just doing a cd to
the hello directory, but trouble there seems to indicate trouble to come.
I'll try the soft-link approach.
Thanks,
Patricia

Does it make a difference if you run ant in the Windows command shell
rather than Cygwin?
I’ve been on OSX mostly for a while, which is basically Unix. In the
past I certainly compiled River under Cygwin, but normally I use a
folder in cygwin’s ‘/home/<insert-user-name-here>’ folder. What I do
is soft-link a folder called ‘/home/trasukg/MyDocs’ to
‘/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/<insert-user-name-here>’ (paths
will vary, of course - alter to suit your own install). That way the
cygwin bash shell doesn’t see any spaces in its path.
Hope this helps,
Greg Trasuk.

The Getting Started page does not say what sorts of environments
work. I started using cygwin on a Windows 8.1 machine with
RIVER_HOME='/cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/Patricia/Downloads/River'
That does not seem to be working well, because of the embedded
space.
Do we need to require a directory without spaces in its full path?
