From: lackhof AT uni-muenster DOT de (Michael Lackhoff) Subject: Problems getting started with bash 22 Nov 1997 02:06:38 -0800 Message-ID: <199711211652.RAA59142.cygnus.gnu-win32@mail.uni-muenster.de> To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Well I can run bash but it doesn't read any configuration files. I used all these file names by copying a test file around: ..bashrc ..bash_profile /profile For a start I tried just to set the PATH and MAN_PATH variables: export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH MAN_PATH=/usr/man Since I found both versions (with and without export) in sample ..bashrc files I tried both. The line delimiter is just \n (no \r), all mounts are binary. $HOME is set before (autoexec.bat) and is found. ..bash_history is the next. It is created in $HOME but is of no use. At least I didn't find a way to use the entries between sessions. Next one is .inputrc I wanted to try if an entry of "set meta-flag On" would allow me to enter 8 bit ASCII chars (German umlaut). No effect whatsoever. Is there any other way to get international characters? I checked the last months of the mailing list archive and installed the newest cygwin.dll and bash.exe. This at least enabled the Alt Gr keys on my German keyboard.
