- Subject: How can I specify home directory.
Hi all,
I have a different Cygwin home directory than the common C:\Documents and
Settings\username. It was no problem to specify the "set HOME=C:\myHome" in the
cygwin.bat.
The problem comes when a postinstall script tries to modify files in the home
directory. setup.exe understands $HOME or ~ as "C:\Documents and
Settings\username". Is there a way to specify the new home directory to
setup.exe?
Thanks for your help.
Nick
