This problem dogged me for many years, and I finally hunkered down to

Here is the solution that I found works for me:
"set shell=c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe\ -i
"Won't always find ~/.bashrc cuz depending on how vim is launched,
"~ doesn't always resolve to c:/cygwin/home/$USERNAME
"let &shell='c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe\ --rcfile c:\cygwin\home\' .
" \ $USERNAME . '\.bashrc'
"Backslashes are hated by bash. Also needs -i to ensure bash is
"interactive so that .bashrc is sourced
let &shell='c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --rcfile c:/cygwin/home/' .
\ $USERNAME . '/.bashrc -i'
" Depending on how vim is launched, c:/cygwin/home/$USERNAME
" will sometimes be equivalent to ~. If so, then it will be
" replaced by ~ in &shell.
Thanks to all those who helped on the unix, bash, cygwin, and vim
forums.
Wow... that looks complicated.
Why don't you just set
SHELL=C:/Bin/Bash.exe
I have my cygwin in C:/
In my system environment vars (controlpanel->system->
advanced system settings(system properties)->Advanced->
Environment variables->System Variables,
I have:
DISPLAY=:0
CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning winsymlinks export
PATH=C:\prog64\vim;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;C:\bin;[other
stuff]...
SHELL=C:/Bin/Bash.exe
Bash starts and runs it's RC vars, which pick up my home.. and
that runs my .bashrc.
One of the aliases I have in my bash startup files
for gvim is "setsid gvim"
That allows gvim to run in the background...
Would that work for you?
I let bash & cygwin figure out my userid and home ..
