Re: [Mingw-users] Can't CD to a directory?

[Redding, M. <Mat...@dp...>]

Hi All, 
 
Just a bit more information.
 
 
I think it is actually 
one of these two steps on the MSYS web page installation instructions
that is causing 
cd to no work (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys):

*	Install MSYS DTK 1.0
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe>  in
C:\msys\1.0. 

*	Install MSYS Core 1.0.11
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysCORE-1.0.11-2007.01.19-1.tar
.bz2> . It is an archive. Untar it in C:\msys\1.0. 

Any ideas?
 
Kind regards, 
 
Matt Redding

Hi MinGW gurus, 

Thanks for your help on this one. 

I've installed MSYS on my system and am working through the wiki's
recommendations. 

I've had a little trouble with downloads from source forge and Windows
insisting on renaming them without bz2 or gz extensions - but 

I found I could name them back to what I wanted then use tar from within
the msys bash shell. 

SO far so good.... 

However, now I cannot cd to the directories where I want to install the
latest versions of autoconf, automake, and libtool.

I can have a look at them from within file explorer, but not from within
the msys shell. 

Hmmm. 


Any ideas: 

$ls 
autoconf-2.63               coreutils-5.97-MSYS-1.0.11-snapshot.tar 
autoconf-2.63.tar.gz        info 
automake-1.0                libtool-2.2.tar.gz 
automake-1.0.tar.gz         m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar 
bash-3.1-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar  man 
bin                         reddinm 
coreutils-5.97              usr 

reddinm@TBADKI184 ~ 
$ cd autoconf-2.63 
sh: cd: autoconf-2.63: No such file or directory 


Hopefully this is a simple oversight on my part. I can't find anything
in the archive for the group however. 

Kind regards, 


Matt Redding
