Hello,
I'm having problems understanding how cygwin handles the loading of
/etc/profile:
-> My cygwin.bat says the following:
@echo off
F:
chdir F:\cygwin\bin
bash --login -i
So, 'bash' supposedly goes and looks for /etc/profile where the environment
variables are set (PATH, HOME, etc..). However, my installation doesn't have
/etc/profile. Does this mean that I have to create it myself?
I do find a f:\cygwin\etc\defaults\etc\profile though... Should I put this
one in my cygwin.bat?
Another thing that I don't understand is why I am not able to execute
'startx' (X server at /usr/X11R6/bin) even executing first the "profile"
from above (manually) and having this profile the following:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Any idea?
Thanks!
FBM
