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


Patrick,
Probably you have to change the HOME environment variable.
like
HOME=/cygdrive/c/users/shoreuser

The space character in HOME might cause the problem.

) ) 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

) there
) ) another type of configuration besides bash, where there is a different

) ) If you have your aliases in ~/.bashrc you need to add the following

) ) ~/.bash_profile
) ) Source ~/.bashrc

) ) Further examples can be taken from the files located in /etc/skel.
