- Bcc:
Hello,
Have been using a much older version of cygwin till now without any
problems.
It has come to our attention that exporting environment variables in the
bash shell may be broken.
scenario:
$> cd myappdir
$> export DevOS=WINNT
$> make
make is called in a dir which contains a "makefile" file. makefile uses the
DevOS environment variable, which according to this version of cygwin is
blank (does not exist). This is where the old cygwin had no issues.
Closer inspection:
$> env | less
the env output shows that an environment variable has been created but the
name of the variable is all upper case.
$> export
shows all exports but claims the mixed-case environment variable is
mixed-case.
We have tried using quotes to enclose variable name and value, but no
success.
Thanks and regards
Pratab Ali
