Huh; the 'startxwin.bat' script uses "SET": @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
Which formally worked but now doesn't. I have to manually set DISPLAY after running the startxwin.bat script. Furthermore when I run ssh-agent.exe it is unable to set SSH_AUTH_SOCKET and SSH_AGENT_PID. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Blake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: January 14, 2008 18:09 To: cygwin@cygwin.com; Dixon, Scott Subject: Re: Environment variables in bash don't get set from scripts -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Dixon, Scott on 1/14/2008 4:38 PM: | I'm using cygwin on XP Pro and was having no issues untill I updated some dev pacakages the other day. Now none of my shell scripts are able to SET environment variables for a session. I can "export foo=something" but my scripts can't "SET foo something". Any -deas? Thanks [http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTWLL] 'SET' is not bash syntax, but cmd.exe (or perhaps you were thinking of 'set' in tcsh). You were correct in using 'export' syntax for a bash script. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
