Re: Just installed cygwin

[Earnie Boyd]

I know others responded as to where to get the man program.  Don't forget to
download the full-man.tar.bz2 and user-man.tar.bz2 files from
ftp://sourceware/cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/latest/ .

You may need an info reader also.  I'll suggest tkInfo which is a tcl/tk
script.

Ah, it would be called info.exe, but evidently I forgot to include it when
I built the distribution. Damn.

I just uploaded it to:

No, there is no problem with perl.
What hangs with perl if you try it?

BTW:
$ touch aux
touch: setting times of `aux': Invalid argument
$ ls

$ touch aux.test
touch: setting times of `aux.test': Invalid argument
$ ls

$ touch test.aux
$ ls
test.aux

-> Extensions are allowed.

This section in the FAQ is outdated at least for my NT box perl
works fine and extensions with special names are allowed).

Just installed Cygwin

[John Seeliger]

I just installed cygwin to be able to use perl, sed, grep and a few Unix
utilities on my Win XP Home Edition computer and I chose Unix file names
during the installation and I now see from
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC59> that I shouldn't have done that since
perl looks for aux.sh and Windows will hang up when looking for a filename
with com1, lpt1 or aux as root or extension.  And sure enough when I try
perl in the shell, it does hang.  So, do I need to delete everything and
reinstall from scratch?  Any other tips so I can avoid any other newbie-type

Thanks,

ISBN 1-56592-000-7 is a tutorial and reference, and has appendices explaining

Just installed cygwin

[David Ondzes]

Ok, I have just installed cygwin on NT 4.0 system and I have read the FAQ
and other online docs but can't find the answer to my question. I know man
pages do not come with cygwin so how do I read how to use programs like flex
& bison ? I know that are tools for parsing grammers but it has been a while
since I used them and forgotten some of the basics.

BTW - I do not have access to a unix machine to look at the man pages.

Thanks
