Problem with Cygwin on Win98 To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com Message-id: <37CF44EB.F7113A50@wmich.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Greetings, I need a C++ compiler for a class I am taking and downloaded Cygwin B20 in order to use cgg. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Cygwin B20 to operate. I got the message "Out of environment space" message and so attempted to increase the amount of environment space in my config.sys by right clicking on the Cygwin B20 icon and going to "Properties", "advanced" and adding the line `shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p' (C: is your system drive letter.) Now, when I attempt to run the program, it shuts down Windows and restarts in MS-DOS mode. My computer announces that it is running the program, then announces that the program cannot be run in DOS mode and reboots Windows... What have I done wrong here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Jon -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
