Subject: git-gui cannot find share/git-gui under cygwin
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 08:28:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4677CBD7.9050606@gmail.com> (raw)

Commit ea75ee3598ab6f8d0828f introduced logic to guess where 
share/git-gui/lib is at runtime, and this is broken on Cygwin. The basic 
problem is that:

/usr/bin = c:\cygwin\bin
/usr/share = c:\cygwin\usr\share

The detection logic correctly finds the wish binary in c:\cygwin\bin, 
and then assumes that the share directory is c:\cygwin\share rather than 
c:\cygwin\usr\share. Given this, git-gui does not load as it cannot find 
its share/git-gui/lib directory
