Usually that stuff goes into /usr/local (d:/cygwin/usr/local, or on my machine just c:/usr/local - I'm mapping cygwin to c:\ against their recommendations for mapping in root folder - but it works fine).
- rbanffy 17y agoAs fine as a Windows box can pretend to be Unix-like ;-) I share your pain. My company makes me use Windows. Cygwin made it bearable.
- malkia 17y agoI wish it was even better integrated. For example all fake "short-links", gcc.exe being "<cygwin>gcc-SomeVer.exe" for example really drive me nuts. I know hard-links is not the solution, but someday I'm thinking of writing an app, that runs after Cygwin setup.exe and makes all these weird short links to NTFS hard links. It drives me nuts, cause I can't use a lot of these apps from CMD.EXE, FAR.EXE, etc. I guess I'll end up with "gcc" "gcc.exe" "gcc-SomeVer.exe" all pointing to the same NTFS file.
- rbanffy 17y agoI can swear some ancient version of Cygwin did employ NTFS links. I am not sure when that changed - I haven't used Windows for a good couple years since the time I think I saw that.
