Re: [ros-users] Need Help Installing ROS in Cygwin on Window…

Thanks for the tip. I found out there was a character in my $PATH that
the installer didn't like. I ended up redefining $PATH in setup.sh
instead of appending to it in order to get rid of some unrelated Windows'
paths. I had put in something already to handle the spaces by
substituting and escape character, but the installer/make/w/e did not like
"(". There are quite a few on my 64 bit machine since Windows creates a
Program Files (x86) folder.

I haven't tried building ROS under Cygwin, but the first step would be
getting more information on the failure to build gtest:

cd ros/3rdparty/gtest
make
