Since no login occurs, place it in your batch file calling bash, or in
/etc/profile like I do. Here is my /etc/profile that correct many such
environment variable problems I found over the time:
###############################################################################
# File: /etc/profile
# Author: Benoit Rochefort
# This file is only executed at login time!
# Be sure to include both the "--login" and the "-i" options to bash in
# your batch file calling bash in order to have this file sourced.
# Note that CYGWIN environment variable must be set before starting
# bash via the batch file and not here!!!
unset DOSDRIVE
unset DOSDIR
unset TMPDIR
unset TMP
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}:."
MANPATH="/usr/local/man:/usr/man"
export PATH MANPATH
: ${LOGNAME:=${USER:=${USERNAME:=`/usr/bin/id -un`}}}
USER="$LOGNAME"
HOME="/home/$USER"
export LOGNAME USER HOME
MAKE_MODE=unix
export MAKE_MODE
PS1='[\u]\w>'
HISTFILE="$HOME/.bash_history"
cd $HOME 2>/dev/null || cd / 2>/dev/null
###############################################################################
Please consult the man page to know exactly when this file is invoked (for
most user, it is always on Windows).
