Using virtualenvwrapper into MSys
201+
=================================
202+
203+
It is possible to use virtualenv wrapper into msys or msysgit with a
204+
native Windows Python installation.
205+
In order to make it work, you need to define an extra environment
206+
variable named ``MSYS_HOME`` containing the root path to msys installation.
207+
208+
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
209+
export MSYS_HOME=/c/msys/1.0
210+
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
211+
212+
or
213+
214+
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
215+
export MSYS_HOME=C:\msys\1.0
216+
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
217+
218+
Right now, ``lsvirtualenv`` is not working because of the lack of ``getopt`` under msys.
