Hi, I had a bit of a problem with the lyx configure script on a cygwin environment. The following check only works if the sh shell points to the bash shell.
### Adjust PATH for Win32 (Cygwin) if test "x$OSTYPE" = xcygwin; then echo "configure: cygwin detected; path correction" srcdir=`cygpath -w "${srcdir}" | tr '\\\\' /` echo "srcdir=${srcdir}" fi To my knowledge there is no OSTYPE defined on the sh shell that is something specific to bash. Perhaps that should be mentioned somewhere. Alternatively the following check should be sufficient for both bash and sh. if test -f /bin/cygwin1.dll; then Ok that is not really a check for the enviroment we are on but at least it works and I can't imagination that a cygwin1.dll is on a non cygwin system found.
