[Flightgear-devel] Problem with FG_ROOT in runfgfs.bat under cygwin build

2004-03-31 Thread Cooke N. 
Hi,
 
This is my first post so I apologise for it being trivial, I've built
FlightGear under windows xp/cygwin following all the instructions in the
manual (apart from building metakit which is not in the source files??).
It compiles but a runfgfs.bat file wasn't produced. No problem - I created
one with the two lines:
 
 SET FG_ROOT=c:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear
 %FG_ROOT%\BIN\FGFS.EXE
 
 but when I come to run it I get the following error:
  
 -
 C:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGearSET FG_ROOT=c:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear
 
 C:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGearc:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGear\BIN\FGFS.EXE

 C:\cygwin\usr\local\FlightGearpause
 Press any key to continue . . .
 
 
So it looks like flightgear looks for the data path as ./c/ when
trying to use the environment variable FG_ROOT. Which isn't a recongised
windows path

Any suggestions?
 
Oh, I've tried a VS .NET build but no luck so farbut first things first
;-)!
 
Neil.

Not being able to run FlightGear ain't trivial ;-)

I've built

Just a shot in the dark, but you could try

SET FG_ROOT=/cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local/FlightGear

etc.

Are you executing runfgfs.bat from a windows command prompt or from Cygwin's bash 
shell BTW.

FWIW, I have

export FG_ROOT=/cvs_clean/data

in my .profile (a hidden file in the cygwin home directory) and just run

bin/fgfs from a bash prompt after changing to the right directory.

Cheers - Dave
