[TW#27980] cygpath command not found

[ludo-d]

I installed umbutu(18.04) via virtualbox on my desktop computer
installed all python,esp32 and xtensa-esp32-elf modules
my projects are on the host (windows computer) and mounted in umbutu
when I go to a project map (example hello_world) and run make menuconfig, I always get a lot of errors (make: cygpath: Command not found) before the menu is shown
this happens not only for make menuconfig, but for all make commands.

ludo@ludo-VirtualBox:~/C-esp/hello_world$ make menuconfig

MENUCONFIG

*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.

does anybody have an Idea what this can cause.
ps: all make commands work fine, except that they trow these cygpath errors

Probably regression due to d3938c8, we are looking into this.

Same bug on Ubuntu 18.04. Reverting to 6cb37ec indeed helps.

Guys, I've just updated the esp-idf repo and this message is appearing here....

The fix for this issue should be pushed to GitHub later today.

In the meantime, you can ignore this output - it doesn't effect the build process at all.
