From: newsham AT lava DOT net (Tim Newsham) Subject: b19 notes 27 Feb 1998 17:47:53 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com - If you are upgrading from b18, MAKE SURE you copy the new shell into /bin. If you prefer to keep the old around: mkdir /bin2 cp /bin/* /bin2 mount c:/bin2 /bin # mount bin2 over bin, for this account cp /sh.exe /bin If you do not do this, you WILL have problems with "make" and "configure". - you probably want to keep b18 bin directory in your path for bins built under b18. (might be useful to have a copy of the b18 "ps" command renamed in your path somewhere, though not sure perhaps b19's ps picks up all b18 processes too?) - If you want to build sources: cd objdir srcdir/cdk/configure --prefix=/install i386-cygwin32 make - and a problem: I've noticed problems with the CVS recently. It seems to constantly chew up memory until it completes while doing checkouts and updates. On large directory checkouts and updates (for example, the cdk sources), it quickly consumes all of swap (I raised my swap to 200M, and still ran out.) I'm not sure if this is new under b19 (due to the mix of the b18 compiled cvs binary and b19 programs it might be calling?) or if this problem also exists in b18. I'm using a precompiled binary from http://parallax.co.uk/~andyp which references http://www.cyclic.com/ in its usage messages.
