Not strictly speaking a bugreport (everything works as described), but a proposal how to make life easier:
startxwin.bat currently contains the line SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin Unless your Cygwin Root happens to be at that location, this has to be edited manually. This would not be necessary in nearly all cases if we observe that (1) CYGWIN_ROOT is very often set system-wide anyway, after Cygwin has been installed, and (2) in the rare cases where it is unset, it is usually the same directory where startxwin.bat is located. Therefore, startxwin.bat can find out by itself where its root is: if defined CYGWIN_ROOT goto :OK set CYGWIN_ROOT=%~dp0\.. :OK Ronald -- Ronald Fischer <rona...@eml.cc> + If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, + and the bus is interrupted and the interrupt's not caught, + then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. + (cited after Peter van der Linden) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
