From: ron AT mossbayeng DOT com (Ron Aaron) Subject: Has anyone got id-utils (mkid, lid) to compile and run? 9 Dec 1997 07:12:38 -0800 Message-ID: <199712091441.GAA04225.cygnus.gnu-win32@linus.mbe> References: <348C4EAB DOT 2F1CF0FB AT lynx DOT com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit To: Hi all, I recently installed b18 so I could use Win32 versions of my favorite *nix tools. Among them, id-utils. I have been using the DGJPP port, which works - but the DOS extender causes me some problems, plus I am sure it is slower than a native port. Anyway, I untarred id-utils, went to the src directory, did make - everything went fine (I was amazed!). When I try to run the cygwin version of mkid, I get the following messages: mkid: can't lstat `D' from `' mkid: can't chdir to `D' from `/': No such file or directory mkid: can't chdir to `D/vim' from `/': No such file or directory mkid: can't chdir to `D/vim/src' from `/': No such file or directory mkid: can't read entire language map file `/usr/local/share/id-lang.map' Ignoring the 'map' message, which I know how to fix - it looks like somehow the file name is getting parsed incorrectly (the dir is: d:/vim/src) Any ideas, pointers or help would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Ron - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
