To anyone with mercy on a cygwin neophyte who is surrounded by too many trees to see the forest:
>the patches work excellently, by the way, thanks for your work!!! I confess to being not so blissfully ignorant of how everything works in Cygwin, and I've been unable to apply the updates to my environment. I'm using Falch version 2.7.2.0 which I *think* includes the base prc-tools-2.3 updates, though I'm not completely sure of that either. The Falch installation always did everything behind the scenes. I'm running WinXp Pro. If I start a shell session from the C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin directory, m68k-palmos-gdb reports itself as "GNU gdb 5.0" whereas I'd like to get to where it reports "GNU gdb 5.3-tvo-20031229" so I can do multi-section debugging. I'm sure I'm missing something ridicously simple, but when I attempt to run tar, it always reports a variation of this log of my session: C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin>sh $ cd /; tar jxvf /MsectGdb2.3-1.tar.bz2 tar (child): /MsectGdb2.3-1.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors $ I've tried lots of combinations of forward vs backslash or no slash at all, putting copies of the *.bz2 file in the directory containing sh.exe or the drive root directory or Cygwin base directory, and I've tried renaming the file to various things in case it had to do with the long filename. No matter what I've tried, tar always reports "Cannot open: No such file or directory" following the name of the input file I pass to it as in the example above. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? How can I verify that Falch 2.7.2.0 is actually at prc-tools-2.3 level? If it helps, most of the m68k*.exe's are timestamped 8/20/2002 at 4:15am, and m68k-palmos-gcc -v reports "gcc version 2.95.3-kgpd 20010315 (release)" Can this upgrade a Falch installation?
