I’m trying to build a software called Slicer3 on Windows 7 which features a “super build”.
It’s a All-in-one TCL Script to checkout and build Slicer3.

I ran CYGWIN and navigated til the correct directory, then ran the script and got:

$ ./Slicer3-svn/Scripts/getbuildtest.tcl
couldn't read file "./Slicer3-svn/Scripts/getbuildtest.tcl": no such file or directory

Obviously I am sure that the file exists and I gave it 777 permission. I’m running cygwin as admin.

The beginning of the tcl file’s content is:

#!/bin/sh
# the next line restarts using tclsh \
exec tclsh "$0" "$@"

So I tried commenting out line 3 and running directly

$ tclsh ./Slicer3-svn/Scripts/getbuildtest.tcl

but got the same error.
Any idea?

    Description: TCLSH couldn’t read file: no such file or directory.
    Possible reason: TCLSH under CYGWIN does not resolve windows PATH’s properly, and cannot find the files.
    Workaround: move the script within the CYGWIN path.

    just moving the script to a “simpler” path works for me. I’m not that sure about the reason, neither how to solve this misbehaviour.
