I have insight-5_0.tar.gz un-tarred within Cygwin using "tar zxvf
insight-5_0_tar.gz" to insight-5.0 and am now ready to install.
(GNU bash, version 2.05.0(6)-release (i686-pc-cygwin))
Quote:
"It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:
./configure
make
"
but I get the following 'bad interpreter" error whenever I try to run
configure, config.sub or any such install proceedures.
$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I've got cygwin to compile my code for the SH4 processor and these work
as I've downloaded via simple bootloader but I'd like to be able to use
GDB for debugging. Can you help?
This must be a simple error I'm making or step I've missed. Thanks
Pete

Sorry for the delay... I've been out of town (yes, I actually took an
airplane), and I'm just getting up to speed again.

Please try checking out the 5.1 branch and building it. Believe me when I
say you'll be much, much happier that you did.

I don't know where the above quote comes from, and it may work, but I
never do it that way. I _always_ build in a separate directory. This keeps
the source directories unaltered, which allows me to build multiple
Insights/gdbs for different targets/hosts.

What does "ls -l /bin/sh" show?

That exact quote, I don't know. However, building in the source tree is
still documented. On some very obscure platforms, VPATH doesn't work
breaking separate source and build directories.

I just tried it, and you still can do "./configure; make all install".

O.K. will do, thanks.

from the README file in root of Insight.

Makes sense.
> What does "ls -l /bin/sh" show?
ls: /bin/sh: No such file or directory
which I guess means I didn't have sh.exe installed so I found one and
then got
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 68608 Dec 1 1998 /bin/sh
but it still falls over later. (not exactly a new version of sh.exe
1998?)
I'm going to try re-installing CYGWIN and try to get it to install every
file. (thought I did this before)
and also grab the 5.1 version of Insight and try again.
Thanks again.
Pete

Aha! Just what I thought! :-)

Not a good idea. In the old days, we used to copy cygwin's bash to
/bin/sh, but nowadays, they've much better processes to deal with this.

Yes, I think this is the best approach. You don't mention what version of
cygwin you're trying to use, but going to http://www.cygwin.com and
clicking "Install Cygwin now" is the best route to go, given you're
looking at an installation error/problem right now.
Good luck.
