Fixing Paths on Mintty install - cannot find my vimrc file
Opened this issue · 2 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Vim (or GVim) and write ':echo $PATH' and note the paths that come out
2. Open Mintty.exe, write ':echo $PATH' and note a completely different set of
paths.
3. Write ':echo $MYVIMRC' and get an empty line.
4. .vimrc not read.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should work like my non-gui Vim but it doesn't.
What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
Windows 7 Professional. Cygwin 1.7 with standard Mintty install.
Please provide any additional information below.
I'm just trying to get Mintty to read my vimrc and to behave like the non-GUI
vim that comes with GVim. I'm doing this because I would like it to be full
screen. I really miss my iTerm2. Windblowz....so far...

Mintty is certainly not reading vimrc. What you may want is configure your
shell (bash?) which has a vim option.
Or maybe you just want MYVIMRC to be set. So set it in .bashrc or setup mintty
to start a shell in login mode, like mintty -e /bin/bash -l .
