I have downloaded the latest version of cygwin (full.exe) and installed
it in drive f: on a Pentium-II running Windows-NT 4.0 sp4 (as a user and
not as an administrator. When I execute Cygwin B20 from the start menu
I get a window with a single line
bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
However the window does not let me type any command let alone use
"mkdir -p /tmp" to create the tmp directory. I have searched all the
istallation instructions and FAQs and couldn't find any answer.
My cygnus.bat file is given below:
@ECHO OFF
SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
SET PATH=f:\cygnus\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\bin;%PATH%
bash
Thanks.

cygwin
Yowza. The default mount point for the / is the root of the
device upon which
it is resides. To correct this problem all that needs to
happen is from MSDOS
do `mkdir F:\tmp'.
You ignored the part of the original mail which stated User rather than
Admin rights. Same for me here, and prohibits using C:\, as well as many
other directories.
Besides, didn't you read the warning about spaces in path
names. Not a good
idea at all.
So what? Works with everything but ActivePerl. And as that is not a Cygwin
program, I put it into into C:\Winnt.
The beauty is of course that it still runs fine under Cygwin via a symlink
from /usr/bin/perl to its actual location.

It is hidden somewhere. Just decide on where you want to have the Unix /
directory. I choose C:\My Documents\.
Then, inside a bash shell, do
mount c:\mydocu~1 /
Now you have /. Create other directories at leisure, or mount existing ones.
Ie, I have
mount c:\TEMP /tmp
or simply do
cd /; mkdir /tmp
The one thing to mention is C:\TEMP mounted as /TEMP to make non-cygwin
programs and cygwin programs cooperate. Ie Gnuplot sees C:\TEMP\foo.dat
whereas Octave calls it /TEMP/foo.dat. Somewhat ugly, but works...
