Hi, I'm using "stow" to manage several versions of git on my cygwin system. As a result, my /usr/local/bin contains a bunch of symlinks to the actual binaries in /usr/local/stow/git-1.5.2.2/bin. This works like a charm, except that gitk won't start up, claiming, in turn, that it is unable to start git itself. After some investigation, I found that the "wish" that is supplied with cygwin isn't a true cygwin one, and hence doesn't understand cygwin style simlinks, and thus cannot start the /usr/local/bin/git symlink. It needs the true binary. So for now, I've worked around this by updating the first few lines of the gitk script to read: #!/bin/sh # Tcl ignores the next line -*- tcl -*- \ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/stow/git-1.5.2.2/bin # Tcl ignores the next line also \ exec wish "$0" -- "$@" This works for me, but is admittedly butt-ugly. Any tips on how to handle this kind of situation? Thanks a lot!
