Hi Volker, gratitude for answering my question. After reading Q&A link you provided I realized how to make junctions but I don't know which source should be attached to the target? As you've mentioned :/cygdrive/c/progra~2/microsoft: No such file or directory means there are no links available for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio", so I tried

C:\WINDOWS\system32>mklink /j "C:\progra~2\microsoft~7" "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio"
Junction created for C:\progra~2\microsoft~7 <<===>> C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

but it seems not working because I get the same error. Can you give some tips please? Sorry if I'm newbie, I'm just interested in some JEPs and want to test them in a project to see if I can deploy it later. Many thanks.

Hi Alireza,

it seems you don’t have short file names enabled for the “Program Files” directory. Notice that you have short file names enabled for “c:\” (i.e. you have “progra~2”). You have to first enable short file names for the “Program Files” directory (see for example https://superuser.com/questions/681330/how-to-force- short-name-8dot3-generation). Afterwards you must copy “microsoft visual studio” to a temporary directory and finally copy it back to “microsoft visual studio”. This should create a short name for that directory.

Hi. I wanted to build OpenJDK in windows using cygwin, and I set VC compiler path, but due to whitespaces in the path I can't build, with the following error: _ _configure: Rewriting CC to "/cygdrive/c/progra~2/microsoft visual_ _studio/2017/community/vc/tools/msvc/14.13.26128/bin/hostx86/x64/cl"_ _checking resolved symbolic links for CC... no symlink_ _configure: The C compiler (located as /cygdrive/c/progra~2/microsoft_ _visual_ _studio/2017/community/vc/tools/msvc/14.13.26128/bin/hostx86/x64/cl) does_ _not seem to be the required microsoft compiler.configure: error: A_ _microsoft compiler is reconfigure: The result from running it was:_ _"/home/SuNova/jdk/build/.configure-support/generated-configure.sh: line_ _35050: /cygdrive/c/progra~2/microsoft: No such file or directory"_ _configure exiting with result code 1_ _ Well it's not in my hands to set compiler path while installing VS2017 and it does this automatically, so what can I do in this case?
