I have not seen this mentioned in this list. Please forgive me if I just
missed it somewhere. 

I'm having a similar issue with trying to get the GNU g++ and gcc compiler's
to work with Eclipse and Netbeans. Both report that the file is not valid or
not found when compiling a C or C++ file.

I have just downloaded the latest production release of Cygwin and installed
the complete dev environment. I'm running 64 bit Vista SP2. I have the
cygwin\bin path added to my DOS path.

Has anyone gotten the latest Cygwin to work with Netbeans or Eclipse? 

I was able to get older version of Cygwin to work with both Netbeans and
Eclipse in the past just by setting up the DOS path to include
C:\cygwin\bin. Now I see that the gcc.exe and g++.exe are links, which I now
assume are not working properly in a DOS environment. Which of course is
needed by both Eclipse and Netbeans.

Best,
Eileen
