[gobolinux-users] New scripts and cygwin

[Rohan Nicholls]

Hey there all,

I have installed rootless on cygwin, and have run into a couple gotchas.

The InstallPackage should never be used, and it is for Scripts.  It gets 
you up and running but because of the new c coded executables, the src 
file needs to be recompiled.

I figured this out because I kept getting errors during SymlinkProgram 
that I finally looked at more carefully (i.e. no links were being created)

This is what I did....

went to Scripts/Current/src
make
This will give you the .exe versions of the files.
As I was not sure what make install would do, I just deleted the 
equivalent elf files is Scripts/Current/bin and copied the .exe files 
from the src directory to bin.

It all works now.

I don't see any C files in Compile which is why it was working.

Thought you should all know.  Is there a cygwin page on the wiki where I 
should post this information?

Thanks,

Rohan
