Cygwin installation

[Martijn Broens (Gast)]

Hi all,


I'm new to the msp-gcc stuf, up until now i've always been using IAR,
but i'd like to experiment more with GCC. i've lready downloaded
Cygwin (i'm running WinXp Pro on a laptop) but i don't quite follow
the isntructions on the msp intro page.
I've opend Cygwin bash and created the dir. but "wget
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/releases/binutils-2.14.tar.bz2"
wil not run since it complains that it doesn't know wget??  did i miss
something??

please advice
thanks Martijn

Cygwin contains many, many packages. In the Cygwin Setup program, go to
the "Web" portion of the tree and you will find wget there.

Hi Martijn,

hm ... looks like a Unix problem under Windows :-)) I think, you're
normaly a Windows user? Right?

Ok: under bash try at first:

> whereis wget

You should get nothing or any error message. (I hope, that you have a
normal cygwin installation and whereis will be found)

Alternatively you can search with Windows search for wget.exe.

Next you should look, what's in your PATH variable included:

> echo $PATH

If the found path for wget not included, include it with:

> set PATH=$PATH:<your path here without the last backslash>

Then bash should find wget, try it with:

> wget --help

If you get a help message from wget, all is ok, if not ... it's a
problem! :-))

Danke allen fur ihre hilfe,

sorry for my german, i can read it but my writing is very poor, i found
that the standard installation of Cygwin does not include all that is
needed, so i now reinstalled Cygwin with a lot more extra's. thanks.

"cvs -d:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/mspgcc login"

Did you install the CVS package?
