I set an environment variable in /etc/profile.d/env.sh that is loaded when Cygwin starts, like the following:
export M2_HOME=d\:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1 When it is echoed, it shows the value correctly. $ echo $M2_HOME d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1 However, if I suffix it with "/bin", it becomes the following: $ echo $M2_HOME/bin /binava/apache-maven-2.2.1 If I run the export statement inline, then there is no problem. $ export M2_HOME=d\:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1 $ echo $M2_HOME d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1 $ echo $M2_HOME/bin d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin Any idea? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Environment-variable-problem-tp28649448p28649448.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
