Is CYGWIN_ROOT still there?


I'm trying to put togethor a windows version of a (unix)
GNU-type package. I've run into a problem that the DOS
CYGWIN_ROOT parameter does not seem to want to work at
least on an XP machine -- no matter what I do it seems
to be set to /cygwin (or a different location if that is
how setup was run). For instance, if I change c:\cygwin
to c:\cygwin_t and use "set CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin_t" a
ls / (using a local copy of sh.exe and relevant dll's)
gives "ls: /: No such file or directory".

Any suggestions?
