I'm new to DJGpp, and I'm trying to figure out how to setup the environment
to my taste, but I can't figure out where to put .bashrc where it can be
found and run. I'm running under win98. I have a directory "c:\root" where I
have unzipped the v2 DJGpp files. I copied the file
"c:\root\gnu\bash1147\misc\boot.bat" to "c:\root\" and modified it like as
appears below and I run this from an win98 shortcut that sets up the size of
environment etc. This all works correctly (".bashhist" is placed in the
correct place also, so I think the vars are all correct), but it does not
execute ".bashrc" no matter where I put it. I've also tried other approaches
including launching bash without the "-login" switch. TIA - Randy

@echo OFF
set DJGPP=C:\root\djgpp.env
set PATH=C:\root\bin;C:\root\gnu\emacs\bin;C:\root\usr\simsrw\bin;%PATH%
set LFN=y

set HOME=C:\root\usr\simsrw
set SYSROOT=c:\root
set HISTFILE=%HOME%\.bashhist

bash -login
