I want to make Cygwin my default julia working env. It proved that I can dive into julia successfully within cygwin. However, when I want to use package ,say

using Distributions

, the cmd throwed error message told me that : ArgumentError: distribution not found in path

Well, it's clear I have not added the package path to cygwin, an action I take for granted in windows cmd.

Can linux command like

export PATH=/cgdrive/c/ .. julia package path .. :$PATH

resolve my problem?

Some suggest that run a login terminal in Julia, my HOME is set differently than outside of Cygwin. I could set the environment variable JULIA_PKGDIR to your normal package directory. Then the question is , to which I add these path in cygwin, via which command ("export" as I guess?). Detailed guide will be highly appreciated.

Moreover, When I try to compile Julia source code within Cygwin, some problem raised at the make stage (I use chinese version)

Note that I have installed the m4 package during the installation of cygwin
