I think I did most of the install properly but i have trouble with the part(s) converning editing autoexec.bat. By the way, the gnu version is 17. In the faq that comes with the CD, it says to modify the autoexec.bat under win95. The faq reads like this: Assuming the D:\cygnus install location: 1) Set the GCC_EXEC_PREFIX enviroment variable to D:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\ The trailing slash is important! 2) Add D:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\bin to your $PATH. This is where your executables live. 3) MAKE needs to be able........ I'm confused!! I have edited autoexec.bat and config.sys before but could you please show me detailed examples of how my autoexec.bat should read, please? Also should I edit C:\autoexec.bat or C:\windows\autoexec.bat? Dumb questions or what!!! Help please! All these and any other tips you could provide for a good install of the compiler will be greatly appreciated.
