RE: RE[3]: How does one set aliases for Cygwin for XP Prof Windows - Still doesn't work! HELP!


Hi Hagiwara and All,

How is .bashrc and/or .bash_profile run?  I don't think they are even
run for me.  I think I remember that another file was where I put the
aliases last time?

My home shows:

----
$ env | grep HOME
HOMEPATH=\
HOME=/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/shoreuser
HOMEDRIVE=H:
HOMESHARE=\\bigsur\PSullivan$

psullivan@psullivan-gx280 /etc
----

and I have .bashrc file as:
----
psullivan@psullivan-gx280 ~
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/shoreuser
$ cat .bashrc
alias ll='ls -l'
alias h='history'
alias main='cd /cygdrive/c/depot/source/main'
alias ob2='cd /cygdrive/c/depot/Projects/ob2'
alias depot='cd /cygdrive/c/depot'
$ cat .bash_profile
source ~/.bashrc
psullivan@psullivan-gx280 ~
----

Thanks,

Patrick//

Hi Patric,
have you set the  HOME environment variable ?
This is used to determin the location of .bashrc.

) Hi Frodak and All,
) 
) I created the ~/.bash_profile file (it wasn't even there before!), and
) tried sourcing ~/.bashrc from it.  It still doesn't work.  I don't
think
) these files are ever executed during my cygwin session.  I don't know
) whether I use bash or not.  I simply installed it from my PC.  Is
there
) another type of configuration besides bash, where there is a different
) file to modify to contain my aliases?  Please help if you can,

) ~/.bashrc is only sourced by bash on non-login interactive shells
) ~/.bash_profile is only source by bash on login interactive shells
) 
) If you have your aliases in ~/.bashrc you need to add the following
line
) to
) ~/.bash_profile
) Source ~/.bashrc
) 
) Further examples can be taken from the files located in /etc/skel.
) 
) Also look at the man bash page under INVOCATION.
