13 years agoYes, that's the tool I was talking about. I am also a complete newbie for it so my understanding may be off. The tool is getting popular in embedded C or software development world, not so much with FPGA devs.
The bat file we usually use to start the cygwin, it actually just make sure 3 environment variables are defined, and then launches bash.exe with a bashrc file to initialize the environment, including the paths. In my system I didn't have LM_LISCENSE_FILE defined, the bashrc file didn't check it neither, but somehow the quartus_sh doesn't complain about license file. Now the Jenkins also launches the bash.exe, with no way that I know of to invoke the bashrc file... even though I use source command to invoke it in my scripts (so I have all the paths and the bash won't complain about "command not found", but we have the license complaints.... will keep digging and report back
