I have installed fish 2.1.0. Works fine, when invoking a new fish shell

However, when doing a
chere -ifcm -t mintty -s fish

get plenty of error messages, like this:
<snip>
(more of this kind follow).
This looks like there is a problem the PATH, but this happens even when
I use the -2 on chere when installing the shell. Note that bash or zsh
shells installed via cygwin work fine.
Thanks for the report.
I've just checked my x86_64 and x86 installation. Things are working
on my installation as I have c:\cygwin\bin on my standard windows
path. When I remove it and invoke fish, I get the errors that you
highlight. Similarly when echo'ing $PATH under the broken fish,
/usr/bin is not one of the entries.
I need to have a play around to see how I can fix this, but I thought
cygwin prepended /usr/bin to the path...
I've had more time to look around. If you add the following to the file
~/.config/fish/config.fish (create it if you haven't already got one),
then things should work as intended:
if status --is-login
set PATH /usr/local/bin /usr/bin $PATH
end
Alternatively drop it in the fish global startup file,
/usr/share/fish/config.fish. Konrad, would you consider adding the above
fragment to config.fish in the next release? That should bring fish into
line with the other shells*. You might also consider adding some of the
other environment variables like PRINTER etc etc.
Thanks,
Dave.

* FYI
Bash gets /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin prefixed to its path by
/etc/profile (supplied by base-files)
mksh and posh also use /etc/profile
tcsh gets these prefixed by /etc/csh.login (supplied by tcsh)
zsh uses /etc/zprofile (supplied by zsh)
