Hi,
I have the latest cygwin installed on WinXP SP1. It works fine in general
until I try to run some program today.
It is really weired, the program requiring setting up some environment
viriables, I guess iniside its code it tries to find some data based on that
variable setting. Anyway, I do it something like this in my script,
export PROG_ENV=/cygdrive/c/prog
export PATH=$PROG_ENV/bin/nt:$PATH
echo $PATH
$PROG_ENV/bin/nt/prog.exe
Then I source this script in cygwin, but I get such error,
The PROG_ENV directory "/cygdrive/c/prog" does not exist.
The PROG_ENV environment variable does not point to any directories.
Current setting is PROG_ENV="/cygdrive/c/prog".
But if I `ls $PROG_ENV`, the directory is there! And `cd $PROG_ENV` works
also.
I wonder why the valid cygwin can not be taken.
Another thing I find is if I change the BASH script to DOS script and run
it directly from dos, then everything is ok, namingly here is the DOS scipt,
set PROG_ENV=c:\prog
set PATH=%PROG_ENV%\bin\nt;%PATH%
%PROG_ENV%\bin\nt\prog.exe
Any suggestion?
