[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-3325) [classlib][build] linker failure does not stop the build

Gregory Shimansky commented on HARMONY-3325:
--------------------------------------------

There is one more command in cygwin that has the same name as in our build. It is called "mt" and exists both in cygwin and in MSVC binaries.

> I know the cygwin is not officially supported, still looks like a lot of contributers are using it...
> The problem is that: if one is building classlib from newly installed cygwin then cygwin's 'link' tool is in the PATH before msvc linker - so cygwin linker is used whih causes "do not understand options" error like in trace example below.
> Still, the build does not stop with error reporting the build is SUCESSFULL. It is confusing & it makes diagnistics to be a bit more complex.
> Please get it fixed.

> The known workaround is to remove cygwin linker from PATH.
