Netbeans Cygwin64 Compilation error

Asked by Kyle

I'm trying to compile a file using NetBeans on Windows via Cygwin and it gives me an error related to the file being missing. It seems like the compiler is looking for an absolute path to the file while it's receiving the Cygwin path. Here is the error output:

arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe: error: /cygdrive/C/Users/kyle/workspace_arm/nrf52_ARM/EHAL/ARM/Nordic/nRF52/exemples/Blinky/src/main.c: No such file or directory
arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

It's searching in /cygdrive/C/Users/... when it seems like its looking for C:/Users/kyle/...etc.

Is there any way to change where it searches for the files being compiled?

Thank you.

In your makefiles, try pre-pending 'cygpath -w' to the files you want to compile.

Can you help with this problem?
