Running start.sh in Cygwin

[warren-nixon]

I ran start.sh in Cygwin and it succeeded, but I saw the following output:

./start.sh: line 30: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe: command not found

As you can see, this occurred at start.sh#L30, which is where the script is executing VBoxManage so that it can set the VM_EXISTS_CODE variable. As a result of the command failing, the variable was set to 1. Should the command have succeeded, the variable would still have been set to 1, because I did not have any Docker VMs at that time. This is why everything still went smoothly despite the error.

The VBoxManage.exe file does exist at that location, but Cygwin doesn't seem to support executing files using their Windows-format path.

Something like this to could be used to convert the path for Cygwin:

if [ "$(uname -o)" == "Cygwin" ]; then
  VBOXMANAGE="$(cygpath -u "$VBOXMANAGE")"
fi

Thanks for this. 'docker run hello-world' worked after above fix.
Running 'docker run -it ubuntu bash' however failed and gave me a "cannot enable tty mode on non tty input. try prepending command with mintpy" error.
Might be related to: moby/moby#12469
I then ran the start.sh in a normal Windows cmd.exe (cmd has access to cygwin commands since i added c:/cygwin/bin to my PATH hence why i can run a .sh shell script in there).
Now I can run all the docker runs in their intro tutorial so far.
