[ros-users] Need Help Installing ROS in Cygwin on Windows

[Karl Muecke]

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
