Scons can't be run from Cygwin

Question

I have Scons and Cygwin installed on Windows XP SP2. When i call Scons from Cygwin i get the following error message:

bash: scons: command not found

what could be the problem, and how do i solve it?

Answer 1

have you tried using direct path to file 'scons'? if it solves the problem, you should add this path to cygwin's PATH variable (export PATH=$PATH:newPath). you can see it by executing: echo $PATH
