Not sure, but maybe reading an intro manual to cygwin may help you get started, and give info on how to install packages for it (which seem to be the other packages you can't find). Never used it myself. > I didn't get the "On Windows Animata is compiled from Cygwin" and > "Then type: > tar -zxvf scons-1.2.0.tar.gz > cd scons-1.2.0 > python setup.py install". > > Which *.exe file in which folder is the programm to compile with? > Means > to compile, to copy the sourcecode, paste it in a window and push a > button named "compile"? And where do i type the "tar -zxvf..." in? You can open a terminal from somewhere in the start menu in windows, to get a command line. Again, I'm not sure what it is called, but look for something like terminal, command line, shell in the windows menu. sincerely, Marije _______________________________________________ animata-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kitchenbudapest.hu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/animata-users
