I'm (being forced to) use window 7. I could not create /tmp using bash so I did it using windows and it did not complain.
For almost every command I get
[sig] C:\bash\bash-2.03\bash.exe 1000 (0) call_handler: couldn't get context of
main thread, error 998

But this warrants further investigation time and effort. I will watch this space. Let me know if I can help

For those of you who have run into the problem with the tmp file, while in bash, in looks for tmp at the root. So in bash,

mkdir /tmp

the tmp directory should be created in the root of the system:

Setting Home environment variable got rid of complaint about .bashrc

Hi Wyatt, I ran into the same issue with bash. However, I've downloaded another window bash program (http://win-bash.sourceforge.net)and fortunately it works fine. And there is no dll to worry about - it's completely self-contained.

I just followed these instructions - I'm quite happy to have some additional unix utils on my command line (cat, less, rm) - but I could not get bash itself to work.

It will run fine, but reports "bash: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!" - I tried creating a "tmp" within C:\Users\myusername (where I set my HOME environment to), and also within C:\bash

Very useful for the simplicity of the approach and the handy links. I've used bash that comes with MsysGit and Cygwin - both very large distributions.
