I use Ruby both under Cygwin and MSYS, and have noticed an anomaly under
Cygwin:
Under Cygwin, the "gem env" command gives a somewhat broken report:
% gem env
...
- SHELL PATH:
- /usr/local/bin
- /usr/bin
- /bin
- /usr/sbin
- /c/Windows/system32
- /c/Windows
- /c/Windows/system32/wbem
- /c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath
- /c/Program
- Files/Common
- Files/Microsoft
- Shared/Windows
- Live
- /c/Program
- Files
- (x86)/Common
- Files/Microsoft
- Shared/Windows
- Live
- /c/Program
- Files/Dell/DW
- WLAN
- Card
...
Notice that paths with spaces get broken at the spaces.
Under MSYS, the problem does not happen - cf.:
$ gem env
...
- SHELL PATH:
- c:\Ruby23\bin\
- .
- C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\local\bin
- C:\MinGW\bin
- C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin
- c:\Windows\system32
- c:\Windows
- c:\Windows\system32\wbem
- c:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
- c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live
- c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live
- c:\Program Files\Dell\DW WLAN Card
- c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client
