[Dev-C++] Boy! that's a lot of problems

[Maya <Esc...@ne...>]

I am trying to use vUpdate, but I get a message that reads:
] Ready, hit check mark to begin...
* Error: Your devcpp.cfg file is missing the $BIN field in its [VUPDATE] 
section...

What the heck is that!!??!

a few changes since vUpdate was still in use. if i were you, i'd just 
get the latest version from CVS and copy the bin/lib dir's over (or 
better yet, install minGW and msys).

I have installed cygwin in a Win98 machine, as well as Dev-C++ a the 
Development Interface. What I am trying to do is to port some UNIX 
programs to Win9x and, if successful, I will, latter on, try on the 
other Windowses.

You see, I don't know  the Win98 world that well. I am a UNIX citizen; I 
have been since 1996. I lived on SCO for a while, then AIX and SUN at 
work, but lately, like most UNIXENS,  I have been living in the LINUX 
world, where the grass is still green and there is lots of real-estate.
I was happy living in the DOS / Win3.x world, but we were evicted by the 
landlord [Microsoft], there were other landlords [OS/2, WARP, 
DRDOS,etc], but I felt like their worlds were a bit too small for my 
taste. So I moved to the UNIX world, and what a place that it!

Having a well developed UNIXEN attitude, I would like to share with the 
rest; even if they are not UNIXENS. Well, I have found that MinGW and 
CygWin are some sort of wormholes that have allowed me to again visit 
that distant universe called Microsoft.

Anyway, after installing and then deleting [not unstalling] Dev-C++ to 
again reinstall it, I am unable to compile using Dev-C++, I had to go 
manually at the prompt.
Where can I get a list of setting I must have in Dev-C++ for it to work 
properly?

TIA

well, my advice is to uninstall completely and get the latest CVS 
version. then, under 'Tools-->Compiler Options', go to the 'Directories' 
tab. then, under the 'Binaries' subtab, add the path to your compiler 
binaries. not sure where it is in cygwin; maybe someone using it can 
chip in here? same goes for libraries, c includes and c++ includes.
