Hi,

My value for system-configuration is: "x86_64-w64-mingw32"

I do have cygwin installed, so I tried add the following two lines in my init.el

(setenv "PATH" (concat "C:\\cygwin64\\bin;C:\\cygwin64\\lib;" (getenv "PATH")))
(setq exec-path (append '("C:/cygwin64/bin" "C:/cygwin64/lib") exec-path))

But the TEXINPUTS is the same.

Did you installed some Emacs package like cygwin-mount. I remember
there are such kind of packages which can let NTEmacs using cygwin
programs, but I didn't installed them.

Thanks,
Liyu
