[CMake] RE: Cygwin cmake - Could not find CMAKE_ROOT

Mon Oct 8 16:45:34 EDT 2007

Hmmmm....

Well my cygwin PATH starts with:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

Why would the cmake in your "/bin" be chosen over the one in "/usr/bin"...?

What happens when you type:
which cmake

What is the value of your PATH environment variable and how did it get that
way...?
