Can´t make PATH work

[mvmramos]

Hi,

My PATH environment variable ends with c:\cygwin32\bin, however when I try to execute make (which is in the bin folder), I get the message that make is not recongnized as a program etc. If, on the other hand, I type the full path c:\cygwin32\bin\make in the DOS window, then it works properly. It worked fine in Windows 7, but it doesn´t work now for Windows 8. I appreciate if you have any suggestions for me on how to fix this.

Best Regards,
Marcus.

what's the output of these commands ?

Code: Select all

cd
echo.%path%_
echo.%pathext%_

I asume 'make' is 'make.EXE' ?
