For a long time I have used cygwin (32 bit) almost exclusively, and in that universe my home directory is /home/moss, which in Windows land is C:\cygwin\home\moss. Now I also have cygwin64 installed under C:\cygwin64, with another home directory there, C:\cygwin64\home\moss. When I start a 64-bit bash in a 64-bit xterm, HOME gets set to /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/moss. Does this seem right? It seems counter-intuitive to me -- should it not be /home/moss, namely C:\cygwin64\home\moss? If that would be better (I think so), how can I best achieve it? Regards -- Eliot Moss
The default is /home/$USERNAME https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-passwdinfo If it is different you modified it in some way
Indeed, you are right. If I start cygwin64 from its installed .bat file, I get a Cygwin terminal with HOME as /home/moss, under the C:\cygwin64 Cygwin root. So it is something about starting using my (32 bit) .XWinrc. Presumably the 32-bit HOME is being passed as an environment variable. The trick will be to get it unset so that the 64-bit bash uses its own /home/moss. I think I'll have to play with the .XWinrc more to figure that out.
