Coverity Set Up (Cygwin Warning)?

Question

I am currently trying to run Coverity Prevent and I believe I have everything set up appropriately on my windows 7 build machine. I have run it with AnthillPro and when my code finishes and gets to Coverity it says that everything was built fine and the only error I get is:

Warning: Cygwin pathname conversion ignored; no applicable
         'bash'/'mount', 'cygpath', or registry keys found.

I have even tried to install Cygwin to see if this could rectify the problem and I still end up with the same error.

---

I am currently using AnthillPro 3.7 and Coverity 5.5.3. The build log says that I have warnings but no errors and that it hasn't emitted anything. I have tried to run a script directly from the machine (not server) itself and I have the same error as I do using the Coverity Prevent in Anthill

This is the only information I get at the bottom of the build log.

Run from AnthillPro:
Build time (cov-build overall): 00:00:17.753597

[WARNING] No files were emitted. This may be due to a problem with your configuration
or because no files were actually compiled by your build command.
Please make sure you have configured the compilers actually used in the compilation.
For more details, please look at: 
  d:\Coverity\Intermediate\AllToolsProjects.sln_pc_vs2010\build-log.txt


Run from Script:
  The cov-build FAILED.

This may be because less than 90 percent of units were successfully compiled

It sounds like you haven't configured the compiler - that's when you tell your Coverity Analysis installation which compiler you are using. devenv is not a compiler, cl.exe is.

Run the following command:

coverity-analysis-dir/bin/cov-configure --msvc

This will say that you are using the cl.exe compiler and it's of type msvc no matter where it's installed.

Then rerun your Coverity build and see if it captures more of your compilations.
