Just go to ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/
and search the ports section for vim or emacs. These are
cygwin-compiled binaries which will integrate smoothly into cgwin32
environment. But of course you can use any other 'normal' text editor,
too.

If you want to find integrated development environment like
MS VC++, then you might not be able to find one. But if you want
just good editor there're several editors. I'm currently using Ultra Editor
and you can use emacs or vim. I highly recommend vim. In Linux
I'm using this and in Windows also. If you accustomed to this edtior
or emacs then you will think that other editor are simply bad.

In fact there is none in the standard cdk.exe or user.exe !
You can get vim, though:

   *vim-5.0*
   -------

   - what is it?
     - Vim (Vi Improved) is an almost compatible version of the UNIX
       editor vi whereby almost every possible command can be performed
       using only ASCII characters. Only the 'Q' command is missing
       (you don't need it). Many new features have been added: multi
       level undo, command line history, filename completion, block
       operations, editing of binary data, etc. Vi is available for
       the AMIGA, MS-DOS, Windows NT, and various versions of UNIX.

   [...]

   - package availability
     - on ftp.franken.de
     - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
     - as vim-5.0-win32-with-gui-bin.tar.gz
     - or vim-5.0-win32-with-gui-bin.zip
     - or vim-5.0-win32-without-gui-bin.tar.gz

You could try looking at the following sites to see if there's anything you
could use there:

     http://www.tiac.net/users/cgf/
     http://www.halcyon.com/gvr/vim.html
     http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html

Hope that helps.

If you "install from the current directory" you must have downloaded the set of
tarballs to install and have them in the same directory layout as what is in
the latest directory at the ftp site.

What you want to do is "install from the internet".

help, please

[Bret Comstock Waldow]

Can anyone suggest what is going wrong to cause this problem?

I have used the setup.exe to download the tarballs to a local directory,
then I open a DOS command window and start setup.exe again, directing it
to install from the directory.

It all seem to work fine, no error messages, and when I try to run
cygwin, I get a window that says this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\CYGWIN\BIN\ID.EXE: *** could not load user32.dll, Win32 error 0
D:\CYGWIN\BIN\MKDIR.EXE: *** could not load user32.dll, Win32 error 0
BASH.EXE: cd: /home/: No such file or directory

bwaldow@DEFAULT /usr/bin
$ pwd
/usr/bin

bwaldow@DEFAULT /usr/bin
$ ls
C:\CYGWIN\BIN\LS.EXE: *** could not load user32.dll, Win32 error 0

bwaldow@DEFAULT /usr/bin
$
---------------------------------------------------------------------

One person suggested that I needed to use the 'install from Internet'
option, but I wasn't sure from the way he phrased it whether he was
suggesting that my problem was I hadn't downloaded the tarballs (they
are definitely there on the local hard drive), or that 'install from
Internet' was the only functional way to do it.

Can anyone please suggest what the problem is?  I would love to run
cygwin/Xemacs, etc. while I have to work in Windows.

thanks for any help,
Bret

Windows 95 OSR2.1  4.00.950 B

I guess you have changed your $PATH variable in your .bashrc or
.profile. $PATH _must_ contain the path to your Windows directory
since the system DLL's aren't found otherwise, eg.

export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS

on a 9X box. For NT/W2K, the Windows as well as the system32 directory
has to be part of $PATH, eg:

export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32

I am.

But I can live without 'make distcheck'
I can 'make dist' and then manually test it

There is also the SourceForge Linux shell account to use,
and since any project built using Cygwin and needing 
'make dist' has to be OpenSourced,  all such Cygwin Projects
also have this resource :-)

So even though I am a project 'maintainer' 
I see no reason to 'force' the good automake people
to waste time on this.

[Jordan Halsey]

I have been running the cygwin tools on Nt for the last year or so and
recently had a major problem and before I re-install the tools I have a few
major worries. 

What seemed to happen is that after a hard crash I got a blinking cursor and
my system refused to recognize my system drive even though the symbios drive
utility could see the drive and verify that all sectors were undamaged but
still unrecognizable as a drive that could be used by my system.  This
immediately made me think of the cygwin tools and how they set mount points.
Due to time constraints I took the machine to my VAR, had a new drive put in
and re-installed NT.  I should also say that the VAR that I use is very pro
and they could do nothing for the data on my drive or explain what happened
just that the drive was inaccessible and that they would have to re-format
the drive. I told them to just leave it alone. The drive is a a 9 gig
barracuda in two 4.5 gig partitions.  Now that I have a new drive as a c:
drive this drive has become my f and g drives f is what was previously used
as my system drive so I reformatted that drive with no problems but left the
g drive untouched with the hopes that there might be a way to recognize the
drive again and retrieve any un-backed up info.  Any advice on how to do
this would be greatly appreciated even if its , no way and I have to
reformat and loose all info.

My other question is, what could possibly have happened that would cause my
drive to be in a stable (no bad blocks or sectors etc) place and yet be
unrecognizable?  Do I run risks such as this in using the cygwin tools on
NT? ( I love these tools and do not want to give them up) Is there something
that I could have done to prevent this?

TIA,

Cygwin mount points nor any other Cygwin facility is related to this 
issue.  Whatever the problem is, its related to the drive in question
and not the software on it.
