Yes, and nobody proposed otherwise. > I wasn't really following the discussion, and don't really want to check > stuff out in git to see what's going on, but if the proposed change just > makes it possible for purists to remove the Windows PATH from the Cygwin > one however that's great. OK, here it is again in a nutshell, it has two parts: 1. instead of adding the windows PATH in /etc/profile (which doesn't need it _at all_), just record it there into ORIGINAL_PATH. 2. Add a script to /etc/profile.d which concatenates the Cygwin and the windows path to provide the same net result as todays /etc/profile. I hope this avoids more TLDR; Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ SD adaptations for Waldorf Q V3.00R3 and Q+ V3.54R2: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#WaldorfSDada -- 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
