The normal way works and even
$ PATH=${PATH}:.... mintty cmd
The command line invokation is no problem.
But, I couldn't do with a desktop shortcut with something like:
mkshortcut -w /tmp -D -A -d "Run orpie RPN calculater." -n "Orpie RPN Calculater" -i /home/djh/icons/hp_calc.ico -a " -p '100,150' -t 'Orpie Calculater' -e /usr/bin/orpie" /bin/mintty.exe
The above doesn't source my zsh startup files first. I see no reference informat related to shells. I'm, just inoking an application direct.
Any ideas?
