And here's a nifty command I just read about:

cygcheck -s

This does a "cygwin check" of your installation.

All of them worked except the following..

Example: ls - list a directory (like dir)
Typed: ls d
Output: No such file or directory.

Example: man gcc - manual (help) on gcc compiler
Typed: man gcc
Output: BASH: man: command not found

Example: man make - manual for make
Typed: man make
Output: BASH: man: command not found

Example: cd <dir> - change directory
Typed: cd d
Output: BASH: cd: d: No such file or directory.

I also tried: cygcheck -s
It worked, but it scrolled a bit to fast to really review what is said. I did it several times. But it didn't help, it scrolls to fast.

I do know that I got the following (it remained in the msdos window after completion)..
[There is more, but this is all I saw..]

^More..
gdbm
grep
gzip
libinl1
libncurses5
libncurses6
libreadline4
libreadline5
login
ncurses
pcre
readline
sed
sh-utils
tar
termcap
terminfo
textutils
which
zlib

Any ideas?

___________________________________

I noticed that "ls" is for unix and "dir" is for windows.
I'm running a windows machine, so that means I'd use windows commands right? (just maing sure since you listed both for me to try).
Windows Commands:
copy
del
move
dir
cd

Sounds like you didn't download man, which is a bit strange. You could re-run setup.exe and scroll around until you find man. It isn't essential, but reading the documentation doesn't hurt. :)

As for "ls d" - it will say file not found, unless you have a file called "d". Try typing "ls" on its own.

Same for "cd". You need to specify a directory that exists.

No, cygwin always runs on Windows, that is why the "win" is in the name.

Cygwin emulates Unix under Windows, and thus you type the Unix commands.

If you have a "command" window (in Windows) you use "dir", if you are typing into Cygwin, you use "ls".

You need to fix that. Click on the "system" menu (top left-hand corner of the Cygwin window), you should see a few menu items. Select "properties".

Then select "layout". Change screen buffer size to make it larger (I have 1000 lines). Then when a bit command comes you will see scroll bars, and can scroll back and look.

Otherwise it will be hopeless, you'll never see all your error messages.

In the Cygwin window I see at the top menu..

Font Mark Copy FullScreen Properties Background Font

-I don't see "Systems", but I do see "Properties"

I try clicking on "Properties"..

-I see the following tabs in a popup window..

Program Font Memory Screen Miscellaneous

-Going through each of the tabs.. I don't see "Layout".

In the Cygwin window I tried..

"1s" and it output: BASH: 1s: Command Not Found.

I did the same for "cd", but it didn't give any output, all it did was repeat the <myname> <lastname>@COMP01 ~ prompt..

?
..One day, something has to work in our favor.

UPDATE: I went back to setup.exe and found that "make" was set to "skip" - so I didn't download it after all.

I am downloading it now. I also chose to download "ctags" (since I may find it useful). Also the "gcc,C,C++ Compilers" package, under the "Devel" category was set to "Skip"..I am downloading that as well.

Hopefully this will help.

OK, here's another update, if you can call it an update..

Example: ls - list a directory (like dir
Typed: ls
Output: BASH: 1s: command not found

Example: man gcc - manual (help) on gcc compiler
Typed: man gcc
Output: BASH: man: command not found

Example: man make - manual for make
Typed: man make
Output: BASH: man: command not found

Example: cd <dir> - change directory
Typed: cd
Output: Redisplayed <myname> <lastname>@COMP01 ~

Example: dir - If you have a "command" window (in Windows) you use "dir"
Typed: dir
Output: Redisplayed <myname> <lastname>@COMP01 ~

...?

When it says "man not found" it means you haven't installed the man program. Thus man <anything> won't work.

The command is "ls" (L followed by S in lower case) you are typing 1s (the number 1, followed by S).

LS means LiSt. However you must use lower case "ls" as Unix is case-sensitive.

The "number of lines" I referred to applies to Windows NT. You have Windows 95/98/SE, that doesn't seem to allow you to change the number of lines.

You can always "pipe" the output into "less" which lets you see a screenfull at a time. Make sure you have "less" installed. If not, "more" is similar.

Thus you might do this ...



cygcheck -s | less

(That is a vertical bar, not a number one, or an L). The vertical var is over the backslash on my keyboard.

Or if less isn't there, try more:



cygcheck -s | more

That should work, more or less. :)

As for "cd", typing "cd" on its own doesn't do anything, you need to cd to somewhere (cd - change directory).

eg.



cd ..

ls

lol,

I have been moving around with it, learning to go in an out of folders with >dir and >cd.

I had tried >ls, 1s, Is, etc. earlier.

"ls" is working fine now, now that I know that it lists the contents of the directory/folder you are in. Before I was just using it in the ~ area so it had nothing to list - and I therefore thought it wasn't working.

Cygwin will work on DoT right? I think that's what I'll eventually settle with.

I'll head backover to setup.exe, I basically live there anyway, and see if I can find the "man".

;)

Thanks for the help.

"Man" was set to "skip" in setup.exe.

I downloaded it and tried..

Example: man gcc - manual (help) on gcc compiler
Typed: man gcc
Output: It worked!

Example: man make - manual for make
Typed: man make
Output: It worked!

I also tried cygcheck -s | less and cygcheck -s | less.

This helped alot.

Both allowed me to scroll through the installation list.

In Cygwin..

I type:
$ ls

Output:

Next..

<myname> <lastname>@COMP01 c:/Cygwin/Home/Nick

I type:
$ tar xzf smuag1.4a_mxp.tgz

Output:

I have compiled my first mud (maybe).

After a brief period of frustration I realized what a dumb mistake I'd made. Perhaps you'll see that as well from my earlier post.

Thanks, one last time for the help Nick.

The only problem though are these final lines..

.
.
.

make[1]: *** [smaug] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nick/smaug/dist/src'

As opposed to the final lines in your example..

Take a look at this post compiling under Cygwin.

It mentions the crypt problem.

You can help yourself by using the 'search' feature of the forum to answer such questions. For instance in this case the line before the line 'ld returned 1 exit status' mentioned the word crypt. I searched on 'cygwin smaug crypt' to find the above post.

Alright I'll give that a try.

The posts mention Cygnus Compiler as opposed to Cygwin Compiler, is there no difference between them; and how I'd go about fixing this?

Also, when I attempted to compile DoT I got the same crypt error, will these edits work for DoT as well?

Take a look at http://www.cygwin.com/.

In huge big letters at the very top of that page, it says "GNU + Cygnus + Windows = cygwin". I hope that answers your question.

As for DoT, maybe the exact same fixes won't work, but try reading the documentation, and the makefile that comes with it.
