Fredrik/Jim,
Thank you for the answers. It really is the path "/home/..." that
confuses uncygdrive. When I open cygwin, I'm in my home dir /home/suwei,
which is actually c:/cygwin/home/suwei, so I cd to
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/suwei, although it's the same location. Then
everything was fine running from there.
Thank you,
Sue

Aha! I think the reason is that uncygdrive only knows how to translate
from
from /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/suwei/.... to c:/cygwin/home/suwei/....
It does not know that it should translate /home into c:/cygwin/home
Pleasy try to use the explicit path /cygdrive/c/... instead of /home
We should add support for /home to uncygdrive. And support for
detecting which cygdrive prefix is actually used. In 99% of the case
it is just /cygdrive, but it can be changed.

Did anyone happen to have the same problem, or know what I need to
do to solve the problem?
Thank you,

The build-infra project [1] has been working for a while with
creating a new build system. The goals of the project include,
but are not limited to, improved build performance and
improved ease of use.
The first part of this project has now been pushed to the jdk8
master forest. This means that the new build system is
available for you to try out! The old build system is still
there, and if you want to continue to use it, you will notice
no difference (for now...).
But if you are interested in trying the new build system, we
welcome you to experiment with it! The basic operation is:
cd common/makefiles
../autoconf/configure
make
More information is available in the new build README [2]. If
you want to try the new build system, please read it first.
Please note that the new build system is not yet complete. We
do not yet have full platform support, nor are all parts of
the old build converted (but then we fall back on the old
build system), and there are likely to be bugs. Most of all,
we need to have exposure on a wide range of different build
systems, since the reality is always so much messier than
you'd want to believe. :-) Please help us to resolve such
issues early by trying the new build system!
Any questions or discussions on the new build system should be
sent to [email protected].
