Composer & Cygwin

Question

Composer doesn\'t run correctly in Cygwin if you try to install it \"globally\".

Putting composer.phar into /usr/local/bin/composer, then trying to run it will result in

Answer 1

I fixed it by adding a /usr/local/bin/composer file:

nano /usr/local/bin/composer

with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
/cygdrive/c/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/php "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\composer"

Basically, you have to call PHP with a Windows style path, not a cygwin path.
