doing builds using cygwin on Windows ....help

Hello, I have suceeded in doing a build on top of cygwin. However, after editing some of the cygwin "bashrc" files, teh darcs path and haddock path still don't show up when I do a "echo $PATH". I am now reading http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html. "The PATH environment variable is used by Cygwin applications as a list of directories to search for executable files to run. This environment variable is converted from Windows format (e.g. C:\WinNT\system32;C:\WinNT) to UNIX format (e.g., /WinNT/system32:/WinNT) when a Cygwin process first starts. Set it so that it contains at least the x:\cygwin\bin directory where " x:\cygwin is the "root" of your cygwin installation if you wish to use cygwin tools outside of bash. " .. however, I don't see in which file PATH can be set. Any help? I really want to get my Haskell build environment set up and cranking away. Kind regards, Vasya

Unless I misunderstood what you want, you can add a path to the PATH variable by adding the line: export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/folder" to the ~/.bashrc file (and also possibly the ~/.bash_profile file). I've also tried to build haskell with cygwin, but didn't have any luck. Could you describe how you managed to do it? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/doing-builds-using-cygwin-on-Windows-....help-tf489959...
