Hi Arjen,
No, MinGW (official and unofficial) doesn't provide a bash like shell or
something similar. I assume, that if you install (official) MSYS you
will be asked, where the MinGW directory is, and that you can use MSYS
also with the unofficial MinGW package. Otherwise just open the Windows
CLI and set the paths correctly. I wrote some lines about that in the wiki:
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Setup_mingw
section Setup. If this doesn't work, or is unclear, let me know, since I
want people to easily be able to follow the instructions.
Hi Werner,
I read that section - we should probably elaborate the text a bit: I was
under the
impression that this would give you a complete MinGW environment, but you
do need to get Msys separately. Also the file mingwvars.bat gets overwritten
by the installer - with some syntax that was completely new to me (~dp0 IIRC
to indicate the install directory). Under Msys the c:/mingw/bin syntax
for the
PATH does not work - you need to use /c/mingw/bin.
Anyway, here is the situation right now:
1. I have installed the make utility from MinGW/TDM. Renamed
mingw32-make.exe
to make.exe
2. I have added the MinGW/bin directory to my PATH under Msys
3. which make gives that particular make.exe, so that seems to be fine
(the compilers
are also available)
4. CMake however complains that it can not find a proper build utility.
I will have to investigate this further - CMake worked perfectly under
my old installation.
Regards,
Arjen
