no output from cygpath in cygwin 1.7

[justinmiller621]

I have been running fine for a couple months with the beta version of cygwin. Yesterday, I added a new package (netcat I believe), and all of a sudden maven and ant no longer work. Maven tells me JAVA_HOME is not set. I have ANT_HOME, M2_HOME, and JAVE_HOME set. Both maven and ant are cygwin-sensitive.  I tracked the problem down to the usage of 'cygpath' in the maven (and ant) scripts:

JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --path --unix "$JAVA_HOME"`

I tried the above command by itself and sure enough, it returns nothing. In fact, running 'cygpath' by itself, without any args, returns nothing.

I tried blowing away my cygwin install, plus my packages directory, and reinstalled. No luck.

Any thoughts here?

Thanks in advance!
Justin

Install the libstdc++-6 package.  Cygpath has been accidentally linked
against the cygstdc++-6.dll DLL.  I'll upload a new cygwin package this
week which will not have this problem, but for the time being,
installing the libstdc++-6 package should do the trick.
