Description Siddhartha Gandhi

I've had a whole variety of problems with Mingw, including that the default commands don't work with mingw unless internal build is enabled...

I would like to see a feature so that you can set it to default internal build. In my case, thats the only thing that works...thanks...

The problem I get without internal build is that it cannot find the path ../main.cpp

in the console it specifies "../main.cpp" as the file to compile...which isn't a path, and thus the error is "cannot find file"

That cygpath bug is rly annoying...I know its safe to ignore but if possible it would be nice to have it not happen 

Thanks :)

Would this be fixed by Doug's recent addition of a MinGW toolchain?

This should work now as long as MinGW is in the path or any of the other places it is being looked for.
