No, my HOME variable is actually pointing to the right folder: tdijck@TVANDIJCK-W7 MINGW64 ~ tdijck@TVANDIJCK-W7 MINGW64 /c/dev/premake (contrib-libs) |
Actually, I did find this: HOME=/c/Users/tdijck So it looks like HOMEDRIVE=U: which is a mapped drive on my machine, which maps to that network folder. but even in windows explorer I cannot access it.. |

Welcome to the world of corporate re-direction where nothing is as it seems. The $ at the end of the path lists a hidden directory/share. At my work it's the H: drive (Home drive) that is mapped all over the place and isn't what it seems (it's also mapped into the c:\users directory, etc. etc.). Philip |

Same here, works for me too... it's just that I have to set it to "/c/Users/tvandijck" in a file that sits in the program folders.. so any other user that logs in and uses my machine will have issues again... not that I care right now, since that doesn't really happen anyway, but long-term this doesn't seem like a proper solution.
