Supported, allright. The issue seems to be contradiction between documented and observed behavior of a specific macro. (Or specific part of the Cygwin, to that extent.) Setting global %HOME% to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% is a natural choice, but Denis seems to want a deviation of it for Cygwin specifically. By the way, getent passwd %USERNAME% return homedir correctly, but bash insist on using existing HOME even if started as login shell. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon AT yandex DOT ru) 14.02.2015, <21:23> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
