Thank you, thank you , thank you!!! That was it.
BTW, I also had to add the $java_home/bin to the PATH Also, instead of using D:\\etc You can do: PATH="/cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.2/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH" export JAVA_HOME="/cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.2" Or in your case you would use: /cygdrive/d thanks, -Rob > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Minchau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 1:24 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > Rob K. > > I recently encountered some strangeness with CYGWIN when trying to set > alternate JAVA_HOME for testing the build of the javadocs target with > different versions of Java. > > I did set JAVA_HOME inside of CYGWIN but it didn't do what I expected. > > I ultimately got it to work by removing the JAVA_HOME that I was setting > in DOS (before the CYGWIN window even came up). > In Windows, from your control panel you should have a "System" icon, and > in > that thing a tab "Advanced" and in there "Environment Variables". > Thats where I killed the setting of JAVA_HOME under Windows.
