I agree that is working but only if your path is set correctly and to do that you need to know where cygwin has been installedHello,

i need to be able to find where cygwin is install from a .bat script under windows to run cygwin programs.
Does anyone has a solution to do that automaticaly ?
cygpath -m /
Anyway i found a solution looking into the windows registry where this is writting when cygwin is installed.
However, this solution requires that cygwin directories are visible from your $PATH. In other words, you won't really need to know where they are installed.
Here is an example which start an xterm.
::start of file xterm.bat @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
REM Look for cygwin entry in windows registry
REGEDIT /E %Temp%.\tmp-cygwin.reg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/"> nul
REM Check if something has been found if not exist %Temp%.\tmp-cygwin.reg goto EXITNOCYGWIN
REM Get the native key from windows registry result
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims==" %%A IN ('TYPE %Temp%.\tmp-cygwin.reg ^| FIND "native"') DO SET CYGWIN_ROOT=%%B> nul
REM Remove quotes SET CYGWIN_ROOT=%CYGWIN_ROOT:"=%> nul
REM Remove temporary file if exist %Temp%.\tmp-cygwin.reg del %Temp%.\tmp-cygwin.reg
REM Check if we have found something if "%CYGWIN_ROOT%" == "" goto EXITNOCYGWIN
REM Export Cygwin path
SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\opt\elinos\bin;%PATH%
run xterm
exit
:EXITNOCYGWIN echo no cygwin entry has been found in registry pause
::end of file
I only have two questions left:
- is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 always the place where i can find the mounts in the registry
- is there a way to check that there is actually a X server running on 127.0.0.1 from a windows script. As this if there isn't i could start one.
