Setup on Windows
================
Choose separate ``HOME`` directory like ``c:\home`` and set this environment
variable in ``System => Advanced System Settings => Environment Variables``.
After setting ``HOME`` environment variable Emacs expands ``~`` path element to
that directory allowing quicker access to your file (especially with ``ido``).
``INFOPATH`` automatically expanded to ``~/usr/share/info``. With
``cygwin-mount.el``Cygwin info pages become available in native Emacs too!
.. note::
To later ``INFOPATH`` to work with Cygwin and native Emacs use paths like::
INFOPATH=e:/opt/cygwin/usr/share/info;e:/home/usr/share/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/info:
Latest ``:`` sign instructs Cygwin built-in info viewver to include system
paths and native Emacs to include its own info pages regardless installation
directory.
Setup MANPATH.
--------------
To use woman with on Windows set MANPATH like this (note that path in
Cygwin/MinGW style so you need use cygwin-mount.el)::
MANPATH=:/cygdrive/d/home/usr/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man
for Cygwin or like this::
MANPATH=/e/home/usr/share/man:/e/bin/MinGW/man:/e/bin/gnuwin32/man
for MinGW and other case.
To get man paths on Cygwin see <cygwin-root>\usr\share\misc\man.conf.
Also you can set woman-manpath variable.
