Description Razvan Ionescu CLA 2011-09-01 03:59:42 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

I've installed Cygwin along with all the developer tools. The Cygwin toolchain is not picked up as an option by default (although my cygwin bin dir is in the path), and when I select it by hand and then try to build I get a weird error: "gcc: ../test.c: No such file or directory". That also happens when running make from the command line.
If, on the other hand, I try to run the same command with "test.c" instead of "../test.c" from the directory my source file's in, that produces a correct result.
Also, Cygwin complains about using windows-style paths instead of /linux/style/paths

Reproducible: Always

That sounds like configuration issue. Cygwin works for me in Indigo. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#I_installed_Cygwin_on_my_PC_but_Eclipse_won.27t_find_it. for the steps how cygwin toolchain is found.
Please ask at Eclipse Community Forums http://www.eclipse.org/forums/ - Language IDEs - CDT for any configuration issues.
