SET CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot SET CVS_RSH=ssh
rem --- Set HOME so that cvs and ssh work correctly rem --- cvs uses HOME to locate your .cvspass file, and ssh to locate your .ssh file rem --- if you are using ssh, your HOME should match the home directory specified in /etc/passwd. See http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq0.html. set HOME=C:\home
rem --- Set VCVARS to wherever the MSVC vcvars.bat file is found set VCVARS=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat
rem --- Set MSSDK to wherever the MS SDK is installed rem --- Only required for MSVC7 or the Free MSVC editions that don't come with an SDK set MSSDK=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2
rem --- Set MOZ_TOOLS to wherever you have the moztools packaged installed set MOZ_TOOLS=C:\moztools\moztools-static\moztools
rem --- Set CYGWINBASE to wherever cygwin is installed rem --- Do not use CYGWIN or else cygserver, cygrunsrv, and Cygwin services will not function properly rem --- Variable CYGWIN is also used to modify Cygwin's behaviour a little bit. set CYGWINBASE=C:\cygwin rem --- Make sure Cygwin does not print out a DOS style path warning set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning
rem --- Prepend Cygwin path rem --- This is necessary so that cygwin find is ahead of windows find.exe in the PATH, but cgywin link is after MSVC link.exe. set PATH=%CYGWINBASE%\bin;%PATH%
rem --- Set MSVC environment vars call "%VCVARS%" rem --- Prepend SDK paths rem --- Only required for MSVC7 or the Free MSVC editions that don't come with an SDK set PATH=%MSSDK%\bin;%PATH% set INCLUDE=%MSSDK%\include;%INCLUDE% set LIB=%MSSDK%\lib;%LIB%
rem --- moztools comes last set PATH=%PATH%;%MOZ_TOOLS%\bin
rem --- Now the PATH variable contains: rem MS-SDK; MSVC; Cygwin; Windows; glib/libIDL; Moztools
rem --- Typically the last thing the script does is launch a cygwin shell rem --- watch for your ~/.profile and /etc/profile which may overwrite your carefully setup PATH! bash --login -i
