Installing cygwin

Installing cygwin

[Yusuf Womiloju]

Hi,
I just installed Cywin, and whenever I click on the Cywin icon at the desktop, the bash window pops up entitled '/usr/bin'

[: /home/yusuf: binary operator expected
BASH.EXE: cd: /home/yusuf: No such file or directory

yusuf womiloju@30254440029 /usr/bin
$


All I need cywin for is C/C++ development.  How can I fix this problem

By the way, my name is Yusuf Womiloju.

Thanks in advance.

it looks like your windows userid has a space in it... this causes
a lot of problems in the *nix world. I believe there is a FAQ entry
on the website that talks about how to fix this if you aren't sure
how to proceed in fixing that.

TIOTTL'd (Take It Off The Talk List'd)
Run the installer on a machine with the appropriate connection.
The installer has an option to "Just Download Packages"
Set the download directory somewhere you can move around (I burn it to
DVD/CD most of the time) and select the packages you need. Move to the
other side (machine to have Cygwin installed) and run the installer.
Point it at the local files. install. Its Not Hard.

If you follow the directions given about 'mkpasswd', you'll probably
find your HOME path resolves itself.  If not, visit

Installing cygwin

[S.H Long]

Hi,

I have just installed the latest full version cygwin on winxp. The root 
directory is "c:\cygwin\"


Now whenever I start cygwin I get this,

Your group is currently "mkpasswd".  This indicates that
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup  -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.

long@COMP ~
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/long

long@COMP ~
$

How do I set the HOME path in cygwin to "c:\cygwin\home\username\", please 
provide a detailed explanation as I am new to this. And what is the mkpasswd 
about?

Please email your reply to me in-addition to the mailing list.

Thanks for any help.
