breaks cygwin #5

Open cera opened 13 years ago

This package breaks cygwin if they are installed simultaneously. The cygwin launch process ends up loading the bash script in C:\Program Files\gow\bin. I believe this could be fixed by changing which bash the launcher loads, and making sure cygwin path is ahead of gow's path.

I solved this by updating my C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat to look like this: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin set HOME=/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/ .\bash.exe --login -i

Great, thank you for sharing the workaround!
