Re: Howto force winXP use cygwin "if test -n"

Hello.

I need to use cygwin's "if" command, the ruby gem I need to install tries to run "if test -n" in my winXP but the win32 "if" is used so it fails with "-n was unexpected at this time".

Is it possible to force WinXP to use cygwin's "if"? c:\cygwin\bin is on the PATH

If it's helpful here is the error:

c:\> gem install rmagick --include-dependencies

Run the above from within bash?
