Hello,
I am somewhat reluctant to give advice as my experience and
knowledge in this area extend only to the point that I am just
starting to try and get it all working myself.
With that disclaimer, when I noticed you mentioned you were
trying to get things working from the d: drive I remembered
tripping across several messages that this is problematic with
the GNU win32 install. I did see other messages on the subject,
but they referenced monkeying around with the registery. I will
try and find them and send them on to you. (If I can find them,
I don't know whether I saw them in the current message list, or
one of the archives I was browsing.
Sorry I can't be more helpful at this point. Will see
what I can find and pass it on.
In my initial problem, which Steve gave me the solution
for, the key was the three lines of "set- includes",
particularly the last one with the two include paths separated
by the "colon".
=Steve Willer provided me with the following;
=a) created a "cygnus" directory on my C: drive
=b) unpacked the archive into there (using b18)
=c) created a "bin" directory off root on my C: drive d)
=copied "sh.exe" from cygnus\h-i386-cygwin32\bin to \bin
=e) changed my autoexec.bat so that c:\bin was first in
=the path
= and c:\cygnus\h-i386-cygwin32\bin is somewhere in the
= middle of the path (it's up to you where you put it,
= but be sure to put it before any other directory that
= has "make", like Borland C++)
=f) set these other environment variables:
=
=GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/cygnus/h-i386-cygwin32/lib/gcc-lib/
=C_INCLUDE_PATH=/cygnus/h-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/include/
=CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/cygnus/h-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/include:/cygnus/include/g++/
=
=That's it. That's all I did.
Regards,
Jim Taylor
