I have a situation where when i start cygwin, the program say's i have
to create a folder /tmp.
I saw one response to this post but it didn't give any detail as to
what the permanent solution would be. In other words, what do I have
to do to make the program see /tmp wherever it is.
Any ideas, thought, etc. are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert Pollard

'mkdir /tmp' from the bash prompt. Or make a symlink to an
existing directory you want to use as /tmp. Or mount a directory
as /tmp.

Try:
$ mkdir -p $TMP

$ mkdir /tmp
WFFM - i.e. Works Fine For Me
> Any ideas, thought, etc. are much appreciated.
As the Windows environment is visible as:
$ set | grep TEMP
TEMP=/cygdrive/d/TEMP
TMP=/cygdrive/d/TEMP
TMPDIR=/cygdrive/d/TEMP
i.e. *I* do have D: (/cygdrive/d/) as Windows TEMP storage. It actually also
holds all active page/swapfiles.
It might be possible to
$ rmdir /tmp
$ ln -s ${TEMP} /tmp
or maybe
$ rm -rf /tmp
$ mkdir /tmp
$ mount -f -s -b "`cygpath -w ${TEMP}" "/tmp"
I've tried none of the last two... Ideas/Comments anyone?
