Following the instructions here:
https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows)
I've tried installing on two machines, either of which I'd be happy to get up and running.
WinXP
On 'make', I get:
Build failed: -> task failed <err #2>:
{task: libv8.a SConstruct -> libv8.a}
According to the instructions, this is caused by having $SHELL set to a Windows style path, but I've set it to /bin/bash and get the same error.
Win7
On './configure', I get:
$ ./configure

/Users/Michael/Desktop/node/wscript:177: error: could not configure a c compiler!
I've run 'rebaseall' and restarted the machine but still get that error.
Edit: Ok, rebaseall was apparently erroring on some mingw stuff, so I edited the rebaseall script to fix that, and now it configures on Win7. The new problem is that it emits the exact same error as my XP machine now when I try to make. This is on tag v0.3.5.
