-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Paul Leder on 2/7/2008 7:19 AM: | Hi - | | I'm having a problem reading bash environment variables when running a | MinGW app on Cygwin's bash. I'm trying this on the MinGW list as well, | but no luck so far. The basic problem is that SHELL is not visible in | environ (or from getenv) on the app, even thought the program was | launched from bash, where SHELL has the value /bin/bash. Does that sound | familiar to anyone?
Bash has two variable namespaces - shell variables, and environment variables. Are you sure SHELL was exported to the environment, and not just in the bash shell variable namespace? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
