Cygwin defaults to rooting Windows paths in /cygdrive/X, while MSYS2 configures them to be /X. Regardless of configuration, drives are always accessible as /proc/cygdrive/X, so use that.

If there are other shells on Windows that are supported and use /X style paths, perhaps something more complicated needs to be done.

#137819 (comment)

What confused me is why the is_cygwin path wasn't being hit on Cygwin. Turns out:

rust/src/bootstrap/src/core/config/config.rs

Lines 581 to 593 in 88b3b52

pub fn is_windows(&self) -> bool {
self.contains("windows")
}
pub fn is_windows_gnu(&self) -> bool {
self.ends_with("windows-gnu")
}
pub fn is_cygwin(&self) -> bool {
self.is_windows() &&
// ref. https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-February/250802.html
env::var("OSTYPE").is_ok_and(|v| v.to_lowercase().contains("cygwin"))
}

It can only be considered cygwin if the target has windows in it, and it seems the Cygwin target went with x86_64-pc-cygwin rather than x86_64-pc-windows-cygnus which is what LLVM normalizes a Cygwin target to.

is_cygwin is older than cygwin target. It was used to detect MSYS2 on Windows, to generate and call bash scripts.

As for target name, Cygwin was decided to be a unix target rather than windows target in the beginning: #134999 . We wanted to reuse most code path for unix, and it seems to be a success now.

Haven't heard of any.

There's a shell in busybox, but it uses Windows style path. There's no shell in GnuWin32.

Actually, can u pls leave a comment (i.e. what PR description says)? Otherwise it seems as if we pull a completely random incantation out of nowhere.

yay, now I just need to wait for the cargo submodule to be updated and I won't have to patch anything to build rust-nightly on Cygwin!
