Hi
I installed cygwin (recent beta) on a win98 computer somewhere on the local
network. Works fine and I'm quite happy with it.
However, I want to use cygwin in my XP workstation on the same network.
I also admin a linux server on the same network which has sambe configured
pretty well, and has many config files already, so I thought I'll mount my
home dir from there and keep all the files there, and hopefully be able to
keep a minimal configuration on the workstation.
I created a network sare called "cygwin" on the win98 computer, and mapped it
as N: in the XP. It is read-only.
I also mapped P: to the home directory from the linux server. It is writable.
I tried to run n:\bin\bash.exe , and got long delays, and all sorts of
messages regarding /etc/profile.d/alias.sh not present . This was simply
because '/' wasn't mounted.
I tried exporting the registry settings from the win98 computer and adjusting
them. I managed to merge the modified file, but still bash does not see any
mounted systems. How do cygwin programs know if they should look in the
system or in the user settings?
Anyway: The original registry settings:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2]
"cygdrive prefix"="/cygdrive"
"cygdrive flags"=dword:00000022
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/]
"native"="n:/"
"flags"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin]
"native"="n:/bin"
"flags"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib]
"native"="n:/lib"
"flags"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options]
The modified registry settings:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2]
"cygdrive prefix"="/cygdrive"
"cygdrive flags"=dword:00000022
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/]
"native"="n:/"
"flags"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin]
"native"="n:/bin"
"flags"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib]
"native"="n:/lib"
"flags"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options]
Another problem I'll have: I'll have to mount something for /tmp . I figure
I'll use P:/tmp
