[Jython-users] running jython from cygwin

[Steve C. <St...@ig...>]

Is there a way to get the jython installer to make a unix shell script
to launch jython from a cygwin bash shell on Windows 98?  I want to have
a real console.  Unfortunately, the installer seems to detect that I'm
running Windows and therefore have no need of a shell script, even if I
launch the installer from the cygwin bash.

Just make the shell script yourself.  I have the following in
~/bin/jython

-------
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "--classpath" ] ; then
    CP="$2"
    shift 2
fi

java3 -Dpython.home="C:\\apps\\jython" -classpath "C:\\apps\\jython\\jython.jar;$CP;$CLASSPATH" org.python.util.jython "$@"
-------

I also have a shell script named "java3" that runs java.exe from
version 1.3.1 (I also have 1.2.2 and 1.1.8 installed).  Adjust the
paths to match your installation directories.  (also be aware that
java is not cygwin-aware and needs win32 paths)

No, unfortunately not.

I know of no way the installer can tell the difference automaticly.

We already have this as a feature request, so you don't have to add it
yourself:

In fact, it seems to me that once upon a time in the earliest days
of Jython (as opposed to JPython) I installed from a unixy shell
(it was the AT&T UWIN rather than Cygwin, but I think that's irrelevant)
under Windows and GOT a shell script rather than a bat file, and it
was most definitely NOT what I wanted.

This is kind of a tricky issue to "get right", IMO, because different
people will want different things.

Option 1.  Build both bat and shell on Windows (even though the shell
            version won't be used in most cases)
Option 2.  Build a bat file on Windows unless an optional command-line
            argument to the installer is supplied.
