Are you right clicking on a directory and selecting the menu item, or right clicking a blank spot in the RH pane? The two result in different logic, with the latter having to guess it's a network path. I am right clicking on a directory name in either (tried both) the LH or RH pane of an explore.exe window. In both cases what happens Is that a new window is launched (good) with an initial title of the form "/bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe Y:\apps". After a brief pause, I see "Starting /bin/bash.exe", than another brief pause and the window title changes to "/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32" and I get a Bash command prompt. The PWD is just what the title indicates (i.e. .../system32) The xhere script should pass y:\apps to cygpath to get the cygwin path, which should be /cygdrive/y/apps. IIRC /cygdrive/y may not be visible via ls, but it should be usable. I'm guessing the path is failing the directory test... in which case adding a trailing else to always cd $CHERE_DIR would fix things for you Dave. P.S.

I had to add myself to the white-list which I didn't notice at first since the white-list suggestion was stuck in MY stupid stupid Outlook spam filter (Thanks so much Outlook).

First - I did try modifying xhere to do a "cd $CHERE_DIR" (and then $NETWORK_PATH) but neither variable worked. I then noticed that if I start bash from a cmd.exe emulator (and adjust the path to Include /bin), that I can see (and cd to) a mapped drive. But I cannot "see" (via ls) the mapped drive when using mintty.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New in 64-bit: unison2.27, unison2.32, unison2.40, unison2.45
The Unison packages for Cygwin are now available in the x86_64 distribution. Unison is a file synchronizer for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or on different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. === About Unison packages in Cygwin === Unison is packaged for Cygwin as several independent packages, each providing a version of Unison that is incompatible with the others. You have to run compatible versions of Unison on the client and server, or Unison will issue an error message and quit. Two versions of Unison are compatible if and only if the first two numbers in their version strings are the same. For example, all versions 2.27.* are compatible with each other, and incompatible with versions 2.32.*. By installing one or more of the packages listed above, you can run whichever version you need in order to synchronize with your server. The unison* packages install a convenience symlink from /usr/bin/unison to one of the versioned unison executables, e.g. unison-2.27.exe. alternatives(8) is used to manage the symlink. If the symlink is being managed in "auto" mode, then it will automatically track the highest numbered version of unison that you have installed. You can override this by either changing the symlink manually with ln(1), or, preferably, by using alternatives(8): alternatives --display unison shows you the installed versions of unison, their priorities, which executable the symlink points to, and whether the symlink is being managed in "auto" or "manual" mode. alternatives --config unison presents a menu from which you can choose which version you want to use as the default. This puts the symlink in manual mode. alternatives --auto unison puts the symlink in automatic mode, where it will always point to the highest numbered version of unison that's installed on your host. alternatives --set unison /usr/bin/unison-$V.exe forces the symlink to point to unison-$V.exe, and puts it in manual mode. Please see alternatives(8) for more details. Andrew E. Schulman *** To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

I'm trying to get ProFTPD installed, and I can't seem to pull down the package from the Cygwin repositories
Hey all, Is there a certain way one has to install ProFTPD for Cygwin these days? Is it only available as sources at the moment? I'm asking because I've tried installing it both via Cyg-Get and via Chocolatey and it's direct Cygwin integration. Neither way seems to bring the package into my local environment. And if it is only available via source, is there a Cygwin install method documented on the Wiki somewhere?

Use setup-{x86,x86_64}.exe, the package is called proftpd.
Then follow the proftpd-1.2.10.README relevant instructions.

The "usual search" is using http://cygwin.com/packages/ or the
equivalent cygcheck option.

[patch] cygwin-apps/run 1.0.3
Follow-up to run 1.0.3 crashing and leaving run.exe.stackdump, first reported at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-08/msg00169.html The list wouldn't let me send a patch because it had an email address in the Changelog, so I had to put it here: http://pastebin.com/4SSPDGQh The first fix is much like the above, but instead simply changes < to <= to also copy the extra NULL terminator sentinel in the argv array, which was needed to avoid deleting random memory. The second fix adds quotes around parameters so spaces in the original arguments don't get mistaken as separate arguments. For example this original test case: run bash --login -i -c "emacs FILENAME" Get executed internally within run as this without quotes: bash --login -i -c emacs FILENAME Without reinstating the quotes emacs runs with no arguments and FILENAME is lost by bash. Debug output (--run-debug=3) excerpt from two commands showing how quotes are now added: run DEBUG: C:\Apps\Cyg\bin\bash.exe --login -i -c emacs FILENAME run DEBUG: C:\Apps\Cyg\bin\bash.exe "--login" "-i" "-c" "emacs FILENAME" Side note: If you ask me why I'm running bash as a login shell to run emacs-w32, it's to get all my .bash_profile settings when launched from a Windows shortcut. Paths and env vars and other things work better. The side effect is that bash is a parent of emacs-w32 but that's okay because there is no console window. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
