create_shortcut script doesn't work on Cygwin 1.7 #15

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
As Robert Pendell pointed out, Cygwin 1.7 stores its mount points in
/etc/fstab rather than the Windows registry. As a consequence, reading
"HKLM\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/\native" to find the
cygwin root directory no longer works. Instead, it can now be found in
"HKLM\Software\Cygwin\setup\rootdir".

I don't think this needs to be addressed just yet though (and perhaps never
if MinTTY gets a Cygwin package). 1.7 is still a more or less private beta,
and anyone trying it already should be more than able to point MinTTY
towards the correct Cygwin DLL. Including a separate script for 1.7 in the
binary distribution might just confuse matters unnecessarily.
