I interact with Cygwin via mintty launched as "Win+R mintty Enter".
During first launch of "exim-config" script existed with an error: /usr/bin/exim-config: line 447: USER: unbound variable After looking into docs I got that mintty should be launched with a parameter "-". Probably it was always that way. ================ Checking POSIX standard on what might be defined in login shell: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xbd/envvar.html (1997) https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696899/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html (2004) I noticed that USER is mentioned but LOGNAME is not only mentioned by description is given: The system shall initialize this variable at the time of login to be the user's login name. Cygwin's /etc/profile has: # Set the user id USER="$(/usr/bin/id -un)" but there is nothing for LOGNAME... Shouldn't /etc/profile set LOGNAME too? -- http://defun.work/ -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
