- Bcc:
Hi,
I just installed latest cygwin on my WinXP, I can run command and do some
usual stuff, but I found that .bashrc is not picked up in opening a new
shell. Here is the file,
set prompt="%/% "
set autolist
set -o vi
cd $HOME
alias vi="vim"
echo hahaha
^^^^^^^^
I can not see "hahaha" when I run cygwin.bat to open a new cygwin window.
I am sure HOME is set as I add the following line to cygwin.bat,
echo %HOME%
and I see the correct path.
Then I wonder why else might be wrong here?
Thanks.
