I installed Cygwin today at work onto a network drive. I added the cygwin bin to my path and all was well. I then added the path to a coworker's machine, but it failed miserably. Then I remembered that there were some registry entries for mounting that needed to be installed.
Rather the fish them out, I just reinstalled on her machine overwriting the network installation.
Is there a doc that describes specifically how to install on a network drive and get individual machines set up properly? Failing to find one, I think the instructions should be:
1) Install to a target machine.
2) Use regtool to extract the relevant parts of the registry
3) Install the registry stuff and modify the path on the target machine.
I was trying to test this, but when I tried to run regtool, all I could get was individual keys, not a whole tree.
Am I on the right track here?
