[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 16231] New: WebCore Win32 Project Assumes Cygwin is Installed on Main System Drive

           Summary: WebCore Win32 Project Assumes Cygwin is Installed on
                    Main System Drive
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bfulgham at gmail.com


Pre-Build event in WebCore.vcproj states:

"set PATH=%SystemDrive%\cygwin\bin;%PATH%"

This assumes Cygwin is installed on the C: drive (or rather, the main drive). 
However, Cygwin could be installed almost anywhere.

It's probably a reasonable assumption in the general case, but it might be
better to require users to declare a specific environment variable for this, or
add Cygwin to their PATH variable before starting the build.

There may be other instances of this in the various build and Makefiles.
