Dear folks Does anyone know why cygwin annex the TMP (and TEMP) environment variable(s) and sets them to /tmp for cygwin-built-applications (executables) ?
This results in that when you want the current users TMP-folder you end up with the /tmp path. As a result,when writing to that, without having cygwin installed (e.g. C:\cygwin64\), it seems like it refers to ${CWD}/../tmp/ and that is not always accessible by all users Does anyone know the rational with this behaviour and what can be done to get hold of the (real) Windows TMP/TEMP environment-variable-values (in a (hopefully) platform independent way) ?
