Hello, I did an install of cygwin on Windows 10, keeping all defaults. I
tried to compile some sample code from National Instruments which had an
include <file.h> and a library. Since running make did not find the header
file, I tried to place copies of NIDAQmx.h in the current directory and
elsewhere to no avail. 'NIDAQmx.h': No such file or directory'. I ran a
command, possibly 'gcc -v' to reveal the search directories and I found
appearances of

/home/Jeroen

in many search paths. There is no such home directory on this machine!

If you search online for "/home/Jeroen/mingw-gcc-4.9.3" you will find many
bug reports with similar output. I have not yet found any comment that
compilation is failing because GCC is searching in the directories of a
*nonexistent user*.

Q: what is the best way to fix an existing install?

Q: How would a linux style search path /home/Jeroen be interpreted?
As located relative to the C:\ drive?  Inside the Windows Users directory?
Or relative to the location of cygwin or the gcc.exe ?

Q: How should this be escalated? If anyone would volunteer to take care of
this, that would be welcome. I probably don't have the accounts yet.
