Is it possible to run win32 executables from a cygwin xterm? I'm trying to figure out how to compile stuff using VC++ from the command line at work. When using the "command prompt", I need to run a batch file to set up the environment:
$ c:\Program Files\Microsoft ... 2003\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat cl /EHsc foo.cpp Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1984-2002. All rights reserved. foo.cpp Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 7.10.3077 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. /out:foo.exe foo.obj However, from cygwin, it appears to fail silently: $ vcvars32.bat c:\Documents and Settings\psalzman\home\programming\cmdline>"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\ Tools\vsvars32.bat" Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 tools. (If you have another version of Visual Studio or Visual C++ installed and wish to use its tools from the command line, run vcvars32.bat for that version.) $ cl foo.cpp $ ls Makefile* foo.cpp I'd rather work in cygwin since I'm more comfortable and familiar with that environment. Is it possible to use cl.exe from cygwin? Maybe it's a matter of environment variables? Also, does the "command prompt" have an equivalent to a .bashrc? If I *have* to use it to do command line compiling, I'd rather change my prompt to "$ " and run vsvars32.bat automatically since the only time I'll be using the "command prompt" is when I'm compiling my programs. They gave us WinXP at work, if the OS makes a difference. Thanks!
