Hi, Giie, I think your setup/installation is due to Windows9x and Cygwin interact. I am using the latest Cygwin version 2.125.2.5: $ uname -a CYGWIN_98-4.10 A380 1.3.5(0.47/3/2) 2001-11-13 23:16 i686 unknown with no setup/installation problems, though I customized scripts to run each step. I upgraded Cygwin because I was having a build problem and wanted to rule out Cygwin and GCC (gcc was broken because my atoi() function was converting the string ".5" into the double 5.0000 - not a good thing. Well, everything worked right after upgrading Cygwin and GCC to 2.95.3-5. Note. The previous Cygwin liked this path spec: //e/usr/local/bin but the new one does not recognize it! I have to specify: /cygdrive/e/usr/local/bin or /usr/local/bin (since my Cygwin ROOT is on my 'E:' drive) I also STRICTLY use "/bin/sh" for my SHELL to avoid weird Windows stuff from interfering with anything. Here's my command line for the "Alliance Shell Startup Icon": C:\USR\W98\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /c e:\usr\local\alliance\share\etc\alc_env.bat I've attached the alc_env.bat file to this message. Regards, Art
