I am running on Vista, and what I am doing is I open up a Dev Studio

Things like cl.exe are inherited from the first shell I've opened in the
bash environment. What I want is link to be the path that is found under
my BIN directory of my DevStudio install. However possibily because
they're the same name when I query link, or try and use it to make a
dll. Bash thinks I am using link to make a symbolic link as opposed to a
dll.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Hmm, does
export PATH=$(dirname $(which cl.exe)):$PATH
not solve this for you? You could also do
alias link=$(dirname $(which cl.exe))/link.exe
but that will only give you link, not link.exe (in case you care).
