So basically all you did was replacing platform detection with platform="mswin" and commented out three lines of code that notify about the change? (Did you just find those lines annoying or did they actually fail to work?) Just curious: what does uname -s uname -m return on cygwin or what is the best way to detect windows in "shell"? (I believe that should be easy enough.) > Save that as .setuptex in ~ (home directory) then add the line > > source /home/PeckJ/.setuptex /cygdrive/c/context/tex > to .bashrc, and you should be good to go. In that case I would use export PATH=/cygdrive/c/context/tex/texm-mswin/bin:$PATH instead, but of course it's your choice.
