I currently do not set the HOME environment variable. I get the impression you're not supposed to do that. When I run a mintty shell, it correctly puts me in "/home/<myuid>", which is what I want.
I'm running into a problem with Eclipse egit, as I think it's looking for the "HOME" environment variable to determine where the .gitconfig file is. If it doesn't find "HOME" set, I have a feeling it's looking for "HOMEDRIVE", which is set to something I can't easily control. Is there some way I can set "HOME" to my Windows home location, but still have Cygwin do the right thing and go to "/home/<myuid>"? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
