Hi, this is my issue:
I start up cygwin and do pwd, and this is my home directory.
$ pwd
/cygdrive/h
But, I don't want it to be in /cygdrive/h. So, what gives? I've run the
mkpasswd command like so (while in my /home/<my name> directory):
mkpasswd -l -p "$(cygpath -H)" > /etc/passwd
At that point, I close my cygwin window and open it again... and same thing
when I run pwd. How do I make cygwin think and start in /home/<my name>?
I've even mucked with the /etc/passwd for my user account and STILL no
result.
Very confused...
Dear Yves
what is the output of
$ grep <your name> /etc/passwd
on my case, as example:
$ grep marco /etc/passwd
marco:unused:1008:544:Marco Atzeri, [cut] :/home/marco:/bin/bash
so /home/marco is my home directory
please note that cygpath -H is not the same
$ cygpath -H
/cygdrive/c/Users

Marco
