Cygwin – August 18, 2004

Since I just wasted a bit of time trying to figure out how I had configured Cygwin the first time, so as to help someone else set up their account, I figure I will post the instructions here:cygwin.bat:

@echo off
e:
chdir e:/progra~1/cygwin/bin
set path=%path;e:/progra~1/cygwin/usr/bin
tcsh -l

/etc/passwd:

daleyj:unused:1000:513:Jon Daley,U-DALEYJ/daleyj,S-1-5-21-...:/home/daleyj:/bin/tcsh

/etc/csh.login:

comment out "set path"
set term=cygwin, instead of set TERM=linux

~/.login:

#source /etc/csh.login // I guess that means the above change to csh.login probably doesn't matter
set path = (~/bin ~/scripts $path .)
setenv CYGWIN binmode/ ntsec tty
if($TERM == "xterm") then
    stty erase ^?
endif
# I didn't need a setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0, but the guy I was just working with did???

/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh:

Remove xterm call
