[BuildTools] Re: SYMPHONY Cygwin/cl

[Kipp Martin]

Hi Ted:

I think there is a problem when you are building amalgamation of 
libraries. Lou, in a great bit of detective work discovered that it has 
to do with the fact that cygwin SHOULD NOT use the MS sort.exe, but 
rather must use the cygwin sort. Hence the path is critical.   I will 
see if I can dig up his email before he replies.

Cheers
