command not found when running from batch

Hi,

I'm trying to make building process easier. When I launch cygwin and run
build.sh script, everything is fine, but I want to launch this script from
batch file. I do this:

 <at> echo off
F:/cygwin/bin/bash --login -c "cd F:/Projektai/osdev && sh build.sh"

When I launch it, I get errors *i586-elf-gcc: command not found* and
*i586-elf-ld: command not found*. I can't find the solution, how can I fix
it?

Thanks.

Completely off-topic

[Well, maybe only 99.999% off-topic since I'm talking about something
that I read and I'm a cygwin developer]

One of my favorite comic strips is going web-only next month
and the author is looking for funding:

http://www.cowandboy.com/

I am going for the gold plan so I have some artwork to hang in my
office.

http://www.gocomics.com/cowandboy?ref=comics

How cool would it be to raise enough money to have a Cygwin Hippo
included in the comic?

[Hey.  Now this is only 99.998% off-topic]

The losing battle of TOFU

This isn't really Cygwin-related but I wonder if the battle against TOFU
is well and truly lost.  Very few people that I know use it.  It's not
even on anyone's radar as something that should be done.  Many email
readers default to it.

At NetApp, it's basically the wild west when it comes to quoting style.
Some people use the tried-and-true, "just forward it back along with
email headers".  Some people invent their own style, like bracketing
replies with their name.  No one puts the quotes first and their replies
after and hardly anyone (besides me) ever trims anything.

Just needed to vent.  Not using TOFU makes a lot of sense but I think
the battle is over.

Let me get this straight.  Microsoft puts 64 bit apps in system32 and 32
bit apps in syswow64?  32- in '64 and 64- in '32!?!?!

How counterintuitive!

What were they thinking?

More Google Translate

Since I started this ...

The Washington Post has a weekly column called the "Style Invitational"
that features word games.  As it happens, this week's (2012-07-22) report
is of the results of a game where one translated a phrase from English
through one or more other languages and back to English.  Results here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/style-invitational-week-977-results-twisting-the-tongues-of-google-translate/2012/07/19/gJQAaynDwW_story.html

Enjoy!

fifo woes

It's nice to know that Cygwin isn't the only platform plagued with fifo
woes; here's a bug in the Linux kernel handling of fifos that manifested
itself when dash was used to run the git testsuite:

NASA cygwin approach

As found on HEASOFT compiling instructions:
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/lheasoft/

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Run setup.exe

    Choose a download source, root directory, (default text file type =
unix), local package directory, connection type, and download site (for 
example, ftp://ftp.nas.nasa.gov), and then select packages.

* Important: the default package selections are insufficient for using
HEASOFT. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

Once you have reached the "Select Packages" window, the top-most line
will look something like this:

+All () Default

But by default, not all of Cygwin is installed. You should click the
arrowed circle (or the word "Default") in the first line beside "+All"
until it says "Install" instead of "Default" (one click should do it),
i.e. the top line should then look like this:

+All () Install

This will install all of Cygwin. In the past, we have suggested a set
of required packages for building or using HEASOFT, but as the contents
of Cygwin packages seem to change regularly, we strongly recommend that
you install everything to avoid missing any necessary items.
