Problem building webkit on Windows 10: sh: cygpath: command not found

[igorrogov]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping you could help me to figure out why I can't build webkit on my Windows 10 machine. I think I did everything according to the instructions on https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX, but it still doesn't work.

It seems that by some reason it can't execute cygpath command from a perl script:

> Task :web:compileNativeWin
Caching disabled for task ':web:compileNativeWin' because:
  Build cache is disabled
Task ':web:compileNativeWin' is not up-to-date because:
  Task has not declared any outputs despite executing actions.

I can run fine cygpath in the terminal:

> which cygpath
/usr/bin/cygpath

>  cygpath -w "/cygdrive/c/Windows"
C:\Windows

Has anyone seen such an issue? How could I debug and fix it?
