Hello cygwin,

>I'm using cygwin on XP Pro and was having no issues untill I updated some dev pacakages the other day. Now none of my shell scripts are able to SET environment variables for a session. I can "export foo=something" but my scripts can't "SET foo something". Any -deas? Thanks

  You can use printf for this purpose in bash environment:
####
printf -v CPATH `cygpath -u -p $CPATH` # Update CPATH for gcc/g++
printf -v LIBRARY_PATH `cygpath -u -p $LIBRARY_PATH` # Update LIBRARY_PATH for gcc/g++
####
