D. Marks" X-X-Sender: ldm@risc4.numis.nwu.edu To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Is CYGWIN_ROOT still there? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I'm trying to put togethor a windows version of a (unix) GNU-type package. I've run into a problem that the DOS CYGWIN_ROOT parameter does not seem to want to work at least on an XP machine -- no matter what I do it seems to be set to /cygwin (or a different location if that is how setup was run). For instance, if I change c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin_t and use "set CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin_t" a ls / (using a local copy of sh.exe and relevant dll's) gives "ls: /: No such file or directory". Any suggestions? ----------------------------------------------- Laurence Marks Department of Materials Science and Engineering MSE Rm 2036 Cook Hall 2225 N Campus Drive Northwestern University Evanston, IL 60201, USA Tel: (847) 491-3996 Fax: (847) 491-7820 mailto:ldm@risc4.numis.northwestern.edu http://www.numis.northwestern.edu Nanocrystallography Workshop, http://ncem.lbl.gov/workshop.htm ----------------------------------------------- -- 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/
