Mail Archives: cygwin/2001/07/25/13:30:55
In the future, I recommend searching the mailing list archives with
google. The one on the cygwin site is not as good as
http://www.google.com
Let's say your searchterms are "path" and "home". Enter the following in
the search box at google:
path home site:cygwin.com
Click search and you should get a whopping number of hits that are all
archived mail messages. Should take you about an hour to go through the
results and try a few refined search terms.
That said- it sounds like you don't have a "home" directory, or cygwin
isn't picking up on it. But that shouldn't affect the path problem...
You should have an environment variable set by windows that tells where
your home directory is- if you don't, right click on "My Computer"
choose "Properties" and select the "Environment" tab, and create
yourself a variable called "HOME" with the value of a directory you want
to use as your home directory.
I think that your mounts may be incorrect- check the documents on how to
use the "mount" command- I think there is a -m option or something. You
want to make sure that c:\mair\cygwin is mounted as "/". Then it follows
that c:\mair\cygwin\bin is mounted as "/bin". Try just typing "mount" at
the bash prompt.
Well, I am no cygwin expert, and I fear that my comments may just
address your symptoms and not solve the real problem. Keep searching
those archives with google, they are a great resource.
