This chapter provide information about how CloudBees Build Acceleration integrates with Cygwin.
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows that consists of two parts:
-
A DLL (
cygwin1.dll) that acts as a Linux API emulation layer, providing substantial Linux API functionality. -
A collection of tools that provide a Linux look and feel.
If your builds used gmake in a Cygwin environment, you might need to use eMake’s --emake-emulation=cygwin option.
For more information about other Cygwin-specific eMake command-line options and corresponding environment variables, see " Windows-specific Commands ". Specifically, the following command-line options:
--emake-cygwin=<Y|N|A>
and
--emake-ignore-cygwin-mounts=<mounts>
