RE: Example app won't run on cygwin

[Mark Rivers <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

That error sounds like a problem in the way you have configured the EPICS environment variables, i.e. EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST, EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST, etc.

Your original problem just sounds like a problem in telling a script on Cygwin to run an executable.  It did not work for me either, using either relative or absolute path to the executable.

That works, though I do get a number of errors when the IOC is running:
../online_notify.c: CA beacon routing (connect to
"169.254.255.255:5065") error was "Network is unreachable"

That may just be due to the internet connection here rather than any
problems with st.cm.
