Cygwin itself only uses the registry for mount points and a few lightly documented settings. The lead developer is planning to migrate the mount points to /etc/fstab or something similar sometime in the not too distant future. External commands would still be started using UNIX style paths though the default browser location may be harder to find. > But we probably should strive to make the binary produced using cygwin > toolchain as close to the one I build with VC++ as possible which means > that, contrary to what I had written, we should only define OS_WIN for > cygwin and deal with a few cases where cygwin Unix behaviour is a problem > separately. If it is meant to run under Cygwin, I'd lean toward making it look as much like a Linux build as possible. I'm not using Windows or Cygwin much right now, but I lurk on the Cygwin developers' lists. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
