I never set this environment variable in my .zshrc or .bashrc and nevertheless it alway pointed to /tmp (or at at least all Cygwin applications I used created their temp files in /tmp. Now I noticed that $TMP points to /cygdrive/c/DOKUME~1/thorsten/LOKALE~1/Temp and some apps fail because of that (for instance "rebaseall"). /cygdrive/c/DOKUME~1/thorsten/LOKALE~1/Temp is in fact /cygdrive/c/Dokumente und Einstellungen/thorsten/Lokale Anwendungsdaten/Temp and rebaseall fails because of the blanks in the path. % uname -rv 1.5.10s(0.116/4/2) 20040604 19:56:17 Thorsten -- 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/
