Building the tools with Cygwin
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As of the latest CVS, the Terragear tools should build out of the box
|
|
with Cygwin using aclocal, automake -a, autoconf, ./configure, make,
|
|
make install. In the event of problems, there is a terragear mailing
|
|
list - see www.terragear.org
|

Using the tools on Windows
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
A scroll buffer is useful. For NT/W2K/XP users the consize utility to
|
|
add a scroll buffer to the Win32 command prompt is excellent, it
|
|
should be available at: http://cygutils.netpedia.net/
|
|
|
|
For 9x/Me users I would recommend using rxvt instead, since consize
|
|
fails to work properly.
|
|
|
|
There are some issues with directory creation when running the tools
|
|
under Windows. If running the tools from the standard Win32 command
|
|
prompt a lot of the tools have problems with directory creation - with
|
|
the tools that try to create many subdirectories this can be a major
|
|
problem. It is much better to run the tools from a Cygwin bash shell
|
|
- the output directory specified on the command line needs to be
|
|
manually created.
