Just downloaded a fresh install of mingw using the gui installer. (I also tried with just the command line). When I go to open a mingw shell, using either a shortcut or menu item, it is unable to open a terminal window. Also tried it with the arguments, msys.bat --xvrt with no luck. A new terminal flashes on the screen but quickly closes. Anybody know what the problem is ? I'm working on Windows Vista. Thanks. |

do you mean executing msys.bat right after "sh.exe --login -i" ? If so, that doesnt work either. It immediately closes the cmd window.

Yes. I'm on Windows Vista 32-bit. Using that command allows me to log onto bash. bash --login -i Is there a new msys.bat file i should get ? or is this a new way of doing it ? thanks.

typeing "%comspec%" in windows search does bring up a cmd.exe window. Is there a simple way to repair the msys.bat file on my system ? or can I run a shell simply by executing the sh.exe program ? Just wonderring if i'm missing some things with it that way. I don't seem to be able to execute ./configure scripts this way. My path variable hash c:\mingw\bin and c:\mingw\msys\1.0\bin in it.

In your windows environment? Don't set them there. Let MSYS set them up, as it will, when you start sh.exe with the --login option. -- Regards, Keith. |

Sorry about the top-posting. IWHA. Right now, the msys.bat file brings up a command window, but it terminates immediately after opening. The %comspec% also brings up a cmd.exe window, but it too closes immediately after opening. I would like to fix the msys.bat file or whatever env variable i need to fix. Where does msys find those paths to affix to automatically affix to the PATH variable ? thanks, dgs. |

I think those changes will be lost after a restart (or even from another console session without restarting Windows). To be permanent, I think you have to set them from the System control panel. How to get there varies from one version of Windows to another, but from Vista: Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced tab > Environment Variables... Look for Path and ComSpec in the lower section (System variables). Path should contain somewhere (ideally as the first items): C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem; or equivalent if Windows is not installed to C:\Windows (e.g. C:\WINNT for some NT-based versions), or perhaps: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem; ComSpec should be: %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe or similar. I think it should be just the one command, not a list of commands, so you probably don't want to append any existing content. Mark. |

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thats the actuall way to do it aye :) but it also works this way (well for me atleast) if i set say PATH=C:\something without ;%PATH% at the end then it only works for the current session but when i use set PATH=C:\something;%PATH% it saves it. And @ David. You might get better results from reinstalling win7 or running a repair install so windows can correct the stuff that broke. It looks like more than one thing broke since your AV also behaves weird.

yes, that works. The profile from /etc/profile is below. The only thing now is that I can't execute scripts in the bash shell - such as configure scripts with ./configure.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hmm profile looks ok so nothing there. My best guess is that some program screwed up several things when it was uninstalled especially since %comspec% was broken. if you can start bash via the msys.bat now it should work and configure scripts should execute unless something (antivirus etc. is blocking it. yep that actually happens :/). also be sure to run msys.bat as administrator by rightclicking it and selecting run as admin as win7's UAC has a nasty habit of blocking stuff to (i normally disable it completely but its on your hat then if something goes wrong so i wont recommend it). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPLDfFAAoJEIjGvG7Y4HU8tYoH/1q7hNrDR6qcV5xPC0sGmKGV KfR+RBlz4ybkqVSNxIJvZEt8P6uW7Cg4bixJaUZFRHvym/haqOOpsyb3jyCvMHRd VYpv92hiQm/+cQcKXRyqATevEmCjDbJprHSzXqw/uBk19CwnWI5t6yzbsZrcV9Sp f96j7AZOokOkSDkz9aZ8sR1od1qytsDw1oQBfoQNWHtbwVXGfH0IAxSJBpA4uhl9 7La+Zxz2eoX+vttym7txD3DREkmcbFMG5WZOznIMvhqt2wwAgJ73PmI1hCBgCacx YUeEc8TKNpTw72j9u9j79RfWoejeJC1AvWT5In8Jpyvndm0+oHRnPWXovqr6DNM= =zr+r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Thanks. Yeah, somethings blocking the ability to run all scripts. I can't even run the postinstall script, pi.sh. Oddly enough, the security center reports that the machine has AV running, but there doesnt appear to be any installed. And the Windows Defender from MS will not start either. I may have try on another system. Thanks for all your help. |
