Setting Up CYGWIN in 7 simple steps - Updated 12/23

[Mianvro]

Yes, I did.
Or compile my sources from the I/O topic

[TeamOverload]

See my edit to the before post.  Any ideas?

[PopcOrn DeVil]

Yay I finally got cygwin to install... I think...

[SG57]

Ahh....  you forgot something in your quick tutorial!

You said to copy and paste the CYGWIN Re-Directing BATCH file...  (aka cygwin.bat) and you have the 'C' Drive as the stuff to copy and paste... when i installed my Cygwin on my D drive... thus meaning an error....

Please up date... This happedned to me beofre... Remember yeldarb?

Step Eight:
Change this:

Code:

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i

To this, changing the path's accordingly (copying and pasting will work fine if you do it over the whole file):

Code:

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

set path=%path%;C:/cygwin/usr/local/pspdev/bin
set PSPSDK=C:/cygwin/usr/local/pspdev

bash --login -i

What, that isn't good enough?

[SG57]

nope lol

[Samstag]

nope lol

Aren't you the guy who loves to tell people how easy everything is?

Now that you're trying (and failing) to install cygwin does that mean we can expect another round of you creating numerous threads and hijacking others' for help again?

Just wondering.

[SG57]

plus, its not my fault the GNU organization is having a connetivity issue?

My humble offering:

(Moderators, please delete or re-locate as your rules dictate)

I, too, suffered through the ongoing hell of download, installation, configure, doesn't work, delete, redownload etc etc.  So after spending some 20+ hours to finally set up my host machine, I decided that I was NOT going to go through that again for each of my other machines...some of which do not have internet connections.
So, with a bit of work, I have condensed the Cygwin/PSP development environment into a ZIP file, which I successfully installed on the other machines, direct from CD.  It took only 20 minutes from virgin machine to full compile capability.

To anyone who is suffering, and suffering, and suffering..I offer my ZIP copy for the asking.

Some notes:
I have run this on 6 or so machines, generally XP, with full success.
The files must be installed to the C: drive
The ZIP file is 150Mb, the uncompressed file approaches 400MB (This is probably because I took more of Cygwin than I needed, but I didn't know that at the time....and you can be sure I'm not redoing it)
No liabilities are accepted, but that shouldn't be a problem...this is just a copy/configure operation, not an install
A 20 (or so) step HowTo walks you through the entire setup
I have put this on corporate machines with success, but there is additional issues with firewalls and admn rights and etc, that I know nothing about.  You are on your own there.

If this seems desireable and is allowed, I would be happy to make it available for downloading; how do I upload it to do that?

Thanks

Charlie

You can upload on places like megaupload or rapid share or http://sendspace.com/ send space is kind of better because you can upload up to 300mb.

[charliee]

Ok, thanks.

I'm guessing none of them is here, at this board?  File too big?

Just get PSPDev for Win32 by xorloser.
Includes cygwin, compiler, tools - precompiled.

You'll be up and running in minutes.

I thought I should add that I have no connection to the author, or to qj.net. I have not really used the environment, since I code on Linux. But I did try the installer on a WMware Windows XP Professional before I posted, and it seems to work nicely. Also note that this is not the latest version of the SDK, and it may very well give you trouble when you want to update or add stuff.
