    I have just installed CS, as manual says:
    - unpacked it to c:/devcpp/cs (I am using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 on W2000)
    - installed MSYS (the newest version announced at mingw.org) to c:/devcpp/msys
    - installed the libs using Setup (it is self installing package, I am not sure about the right name and I dont want to search it - you ll know) to c:/devcpp/crystalspacelibs
    - ./configure
    - make -k all
    - make install
    - make distclean
    - updated the path to c:/devcpp/cs

    when I tried to run walktest, it produced such error:

    WARNING: could not load plugin 'crystalspace.kernel.vfs'
    Failed to initialize config!
    Error initializing system!
    Cleaning up...
    Error saving configuration '/config/walktest.cfg'.
    Couldn't load VFS plugin "crystalspace.kernel.vfs"!

    I am newbie in CS and I couldnt find any *.vfs file. What do I have to do? I found some thread with such error, but I hadnt understand what I have to do (and it is rather old, so I started a new thread)

      It is easiest to run Crystal Space from the directory where you compiled it. Alternatively you can set the CRYSTAL environment variable to point to  the location of Crystal Space. i.e. vfs.dll and vfs.cfg should be there at that location.

        Ok, maybe I found the error. Vfs.dll is located not in devcpp/cs/, but in /devcpp/msys/local/lib/crystalspace/

        When I only copied this, it couldnt load lot of other libs. So I chaged the CRYSTAL variable to devcpp/msys/local/lib/crystalspace

        When I tried to run walktest now, it said:

        Failed to initialize config!
        Error initializing system!
        Cleaning up...
        Error saving configuration '/config/walktest.cfg'.

          It is possible that the install target is not functioning properly on mingw. Maybe you should try to run CS from the directory where you compiled it?

      What do you mean "try to run CS from the directory where you compiled it"?

      The walktest compiled to devcpp/msys/local/bin/walktest.exe, I tried to run it from there and then from devcpp/cs

      No success.

        I mean at some point you typed ./configure followed by jam. In that directory you should also execute walktest.

      Yes, that what I tried. configure file is in devcpp/cs, so i copied walktest there and tried to run it. The same problem.

        I don't understand. If you are in the directory where CS was built then walktest should already be there. But you say you had to copy it there? That seems like you are doing something very wrong.

        Can you tell me in ABSOLUTE DETAIL what you did to compile CS? With all steps explained step by step.

        Greetings,
