Verify_tools setup issue

0

Hello I have followed the steps to hopefully build but I hit an issue when running nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools

The issue is ERROR: Can't find 'which'. Unable to proceed.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\cygwin\bin\bash.EXE' : return code '0x1' Stop.

However the which.exe is found in c:\cygwin\bin and can be called from the command line. Has this issue been seen before?

Thanks

Figured out, stupid issue. I had another program of the "which" command inside one of my paths that took precedence over the cygwin version. It seems this other package just had naming issues with cygwin's own "which" functionality.

The OP's PATH included a directory that preceded the cygwin bin directory and that directory had a "which.exe" that did not behave as the build environment intended.
