Cygwin

• Cygwin 1.7.9(1), package dir = D:\TEMP\cygwin, manual proxy, using http://ftp.gwdg.de.
• Update group/passwd:

#Example (actually this was done automatically on 1st install, and command below does not give same results?!?)
mkgroup -l > /etc/group
mkgroup -d -g "Domain Users" >> /etc/group
mkpasswd -l > /etc/passdw
mkgroup -d -u beq06659 >> /etc/group

• Create launch shortcut Mintty Bash Shell, target: C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /usr/bin/bash --login -i
• Add C:\cygwin\bin in PATH (after ...\Wbem).

☒	TODO: might create conflicts with tortoisegit & msysgit...

• Edit /etc/fstab to move cygdrive prefix to / (alternative to mount --change-cydrive-prefix):

vi /etc/fstab
# Add the lines:
#   none / cygdrive binary,posix=0 0 0
mount -a                                  #To mount all

• Set /HKLM/Software/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb to 1024 (solve OoM issue in Git).

To Do

Cygwin Related Issues

• Issue — Cygwin Git shows lots of modified files when changing directory with cd. For instance:

cd ~
git st               # No modified files
cd bin
git st               # Plenty of modified files in bin/ and one in ../.vim (strangely...)

Settings:

• autocrlf = input (in .gitconfig)
• ignorecase = true (in .git/config)
• filemode unset
• Issue — Synergy interfers with Cygwin/X, AltGr not working. See bug.
• To Do — Try to install Gnome Terminator (available from a CygwinPort project mirror). Tried, but failed to load (prob. requires a rebase all or something). Moreover the new X windows had worse fonts.
