P.S. - On linux (when I tested) TEMP, TMP, and TMPDIR were not set and patch defaulted to /tmp.
I noticed that too... Ken Brown wrote:
That's precisely why I suggested unsetting TEMP and TMP in /etc/profile. Then things should work as in linux.
Indeed. But a question emerges: what does it happen if one starts a Windows application, which needs TEMP or TMP, from Cygwin?
For example, GSview (*) can view ps.bz2 or pdf.bz2 files uncompressing them into $TEMP, so it fails if TEMP is not defined, and
$ gsview foo.pdf.bz2 is broken! This is only an example of problems which can emerge unsetting TEMP.
