This worked nicely for me, except that I do see a couple of problems with Cygwin in Vista 64 that I do not see in an identical Cygwin installation under Windows XP: 1. The bash $PATH environment variable does not get set properly - it has all of the paths from the windows %PATH% (properly translated to /cygdrive/c) but does not include "/usr/bin". 2. Some Windows environment variables are getting translated to "/cygdrive/c", but some are not. The %PATH%, %TEMP% and %TMP% are translated, but I have GTK installed and, amongst others, %GTK_BASEPATH% does not get translated: [~]: echo $TEMP /cygdrive/c/Users/Ian/AppData/Local/Temp [~]: echo $GTK_BASEPATH C:\GTK To work around these I had to add the following in my .bash_login, neither of which were needed under Windows XP: # These not normally required but added for snapshot 12/6/06 for Vista 64: export PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH" export GTK_BASEPATH="/cygdrive/c/GTK" Ian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
