Greetings, Jim Reisert AD1C! > Now that Cygwin x86 is nearing/has reached end-of-life, I would like > to rename my C:\Cygwin64 directory to C:\Cygwin.
> Other than updating my Windows environment variable (CYGROOT), are > there any "gotchas" in doing this? I already have a D:\Home directory > specified in /etc/nsswitch.conf so I'm not expecting the move to break > that. Please look for my earlier message[1](thread) regarding installation path changes for provided PowerShell script. > Where does setup.exe get its information from? Is there a .ini file > that I will need to edit? Whoever it gets the information, you could easily change it the first time you update the installation at the new place. Consider it a non-issue. The rest of the information is taken from `$InstallPath/etc/setup` > My main concern is that the Cygwin Perl installer may get confused. I > currently have this in my Cygwin environment. It doesn't appear that > such a change will be a problem: > > PERL5LIB=/cygdrive/d/Home/perl5/lib/perl5:/cygdrive/d/Home/perl5/lib/perl5:/cygdrive/d/Home/perl5/lib/perl5 > Is there anything else I'm missing? Depends on your setup, existing symlink targets may be a problem.
