I have been trying to compile / install pdksh 5.2.3.  Although I have 
gotten through most of the problems, I still have one (possibly two) 
left.

I can do './configure' and 'make' without errors, however 'make 
install' gives the following:

[/pdksh-5.2.3]$ make install
./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man/man1
/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/install -c ksh.exe
/usr/local/bin/ksh.exe /gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/install -c -m
644 ./ksh.1 /usr/local/man/man1/ksh.1 make: [install] Error 1
(ignored) [/pdksh-5.2.3]$ 

Although I do have a ksh.exe located in /usr/local/bin it does not 
work properly.  Commands such as 'cd' work properly, but any other 
commands, such as 'ls' will execute, give the output, but then will 
'hand' and not return to the prompt.

My questions are:
1.  Has anybody compiled / installed pdksh successfully and what 
steps were necessary?
2. What does  "[install] Error 1" mean and what (if anything) should 
I look at to fix it.

TIA,

marc mandel

Whoops.  Frogot to mention, after you copy the .dll and the .a files to
the right places, reboot your machine.

I've compiled pdksh, and put it on my web page, and I'm assuming that's
the one you have.  However with the original cygwin.dll there will be
problems.  I suggest downloading a newer cygwin.dll from Sergey's web
page ( http://www.lexa.ru/sos ) that fixes this an many other problems.

It means install exited with it's return value as 1, meaning an error.
However ignored means that it's not worth paying attention to, this
usually happens when it tries to make backups of files that aren't there
to begin with.

Thanks for your reply.  After reading a number of posts where others 
recommended downloading coolview (for other reasons) , I downloaded / 
installed it and recompiled.  Pdksh now appears  to work.  I took a 
closer look at the makefile and the error occured when it was running 
a test of some sort.  I don't have the makefile anymore, so I can't 
look at it.  Anyway, all seems well.  

Thanks again,
marc

I was just wondering if pdksh works in Win95, or just NT?  I tried Sergey's
tcsh, but it exhibits that age-old problem of not returning to the prompt after
executing it's first command.

tcsh requres SIGCHLD delivering on child's exit. You may set environment 
variable CYGWIN_SIGCHLD to 1 and to be ready to random hangs of (I have no 
words)'95 :-)
