I have experienced many times situations which I would like to refer to
CYGWIN's root directory from a bat script. The most generic solution
would be to utilise an environment variable such as CYGROOT or (as in
startxwin.bat) CYGWIN_ROOT to refer to the absolute windows pathname
(e.g. D:\cygwin). This would free us from making assumptions if it was
setup during the installation utility. The environment variable should
be setup for system if installed for "All Users".
`cygpath -w /`
This is fine, but how do I use the result in a DOS bat script? I can't
find any way to execute this command and store the result into an
envrionment variable or use it to use it in the arguments for a separate
command.
