Greetings, Steven Penny! > I see here:
> <https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html> > That Cygwin does convert some environment variables, from Windows format to > Unix format. For example HOME and TMP. But for me at least, are some important > omissions. > I use APPDATA and PROGRAMFILES a good amount, and those arent converted. To > make > it worse, HOMEDRIVE and SYSTEMDRIVE arent converted either, meaning you cant > manually construct the path starting with a variable. This causes some > problems. Take this example: These are not making any sense for Cygwin itself, so they are left alone. > <?php > $s_old = realpath('a.txt'); > $s_new = getenv('HOMEDRIVE') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'a.txt'; > # PHP Warning: symlink(): No such file or directory > symlink($s_old, $s_new); Use native php ?… -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, May 12, 2020 22:17:30 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
