Hi

Another issue, at least for me, has been the Windows file endings. In
the file win-setup.sh, there are several file-endings written with
\r\n, which is Windows specific. The cygwin bash can not handle this
file with those endings. Open the file with a text-editor which allows
you to change the line-endings (Notepad++, Notepad2, or any other more
sophisticated), and specifically save the file with unix line endings.


Actually (for the record), changing the line-endings should not be necessary.

The patch given in the previous EMail ensures that the cygwin bash option 'igncr' is used when win-setup.sh is run so that cygwin
bash "ignores carriage returns" in the file.

A recent change to cygwin bash-4.1.9-2 requires that 'set -o igncr' be used rather than the previously used 'shopt -s igncr'.

4a. For a single affected script, add this line just after the she-bang:
 (set -o igncr) 2>/dev/null && set -o igncr; # comment is needed

4e. bash-4.1.9-1 dropped support for 'shopt -s igncr'; it did not make
sense to support the option through both set and shopt, ...
