A request to pgarceau. You suggested a 2 step process of setting up a suitable Mingw environment. = Unfortunately the message appears to contain some non printing characters, = specifically the listing of the .bat file on the line beginning 'PATH' is g= arbled. Could you repost this line without the non-printing character pleas= e? On a more general note I'm a relatively new mingw/msys user (<12 months) ha= ving spent the previous 10+ years on unix. I find it very difficult to unde= rstand the relationship between mingw and msys (as 'products', not projects= ) and have found it very difficult to produce a shell environment on window= s that is similar to the one I had on unix. The discussion on this and the = msys lists concentrates on compilers and development and misses the more ba= sic problems that newbie's might have, like changing the colours in the 'ls= ' output or changing the font or colours of the default msdos command windo= w. I had thought this 'users' mailing list could cover these topics (eventu= ally); this thread does, but otherwise its very rare. Pointers to internet = resources covering these topics would be welcome. Regards Neil (J Mackie). ***************************************************************************= ******** Ofcom will be the new communications regulator when it assumes its powers o= n Monday 29 December 2003.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2327838 By: pgarceau Msys automatically adds Mingwin on postinstall. All you need to do, if you are installing Msys, is to answer "y", and then input the appropriate directory references when you are asked to do so by the postinstall script. If you follow the Msys instructions above, when you launch Msys from the shortcut provided by the Msys install, Msys knows where to find all the necessary Mingw related directories as it has already updated the necessary files. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2327931 By: pgarceau In order to access Mingwin you can do the following, since the Mingw Distribution doesn't provide this (nor should it). This method also avoids any dealing with autoexec.bat or with rebooting your Win9x system. This assumes you are using Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) and that Windows Explorer is open. This also assumes that you are doing, or want to be doing, your Mingw development from the MS-DOS command prompt under a Windows OS such as Win95, Win98 or WinME). Step 1: Create a .bat file in your Mingw folder/directory that looks like this: @echo off rem rem Set local system path rem PATH=d:mingwin;%PATH% rem rem Launch MS-DOS Prompt rem command Close and save your .bat file as Mingw.bat Step 2: Double-click on Mingw.bat To verify that everything worked, all you need to do is type gcc -v at the MS-DOS Command Prompt that appears after you have double-clicked on Mingw.bat.

I find it very difficult to understand the relationship between mingw and msys mingw: windows headers glue to use system libraries including the ms C runtime library add these to gcc and you have a windows compiler mingw distribution includes all this plus some extras e.g. for threading msys: bash plus common utilities like rm and cp purpose: environment powerful enough to execute ./configure && make for that, you'll want the compiler (the mingw download) as well > The discussion on this and the msys lists concentrates on compilers and development and misses the more basic problems that newbie's might have, like changing the colours in the 'ls' output or changing the font or colours of the default msdos command window.

I'm not pgarceau but I take difficulty seriously. 1) Install MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe 2) Install MSYS-1.0.10-rc-3.exe (be sure to use a different installation directory). A) be sure to say Y to the post-install process. B) be sure to say you have MinGW installed. C) give the post-install process the path to your MinGW. You should then be able to click on the icon and in that window type ``gcc -v''. If not send the output of ``msysinfo all'' to the mingw-msys list. Earnie.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2333215 By: pgarceau Don't know why sf.net posting was changed... It should have said, "In order to add the mingw\bin directory to your system path...for when you want to work with Mingw, you can do the following: And then the instructions on how to build your own personal Mingw startup file. So, to answer your question: Sorry is "MinGWin" the same as "MinGW/Bin"? Yes. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
