[tex-live] Successful (but cludgy) build on cygwin

[djh]

The below fix you provided worked and the ./Build process ran succesfully.

I have a question about the following:

TEXMFMAIN=/cygdrive/c/tex/texlive/src/inst/texmf 

Can I change this to some like    /usr/local/texlive/2005/texmf  ??


I would like PATH to contain only one instance of .../bin/i686-pc-cygwin.
Any reason for there to be four of the same paths here?

PATH=/cygdrive/c/tex/texlive/src/inst/bin/i686-pc-cygwin:
     /cygdrive/c/tex/texlive/src/inst/bin/i686-pc-cygwin:
     /cygdrive/c/tex/texlive/src/inst/bin/i686-pc-cygwin:
     /cygdrive/c/tex/texlive/src/inst/bin/i686-pc-cygwin:

/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin/gnupg:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/zdjh/djp/scripts:/cygdrive/c/zdjh/djp/scripts/zsh:/usr/local/bin/mu-mh \
    /cygdrive/c/tex/texlive/src/inst/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/updmap-sys; \


* Also the very last path does not seem to have a ':' in front of it?


I suppose this output was just to show me where everything was and to set PATH myself in profile files?
