The Ptolemy Classic NT port is fairly slow because of signal interaction
issues between Cygwin, Tk and Ptolemy Classic. I was hoping that
the next release of Cygwin would fix some of these issues, but
there has not been a new release of the Cygwin toolkit in some time.
The installation process is fairly complex.
I suggest that you use Ptolemy Classic under Linux instead.
The instructions you refer to below are for 0.7.2devel. I'll send you
a pointer to the 0.7.2devel sources under a separate message.

Hello,
I am a student who is a beginner like Windows NT administrator and I am
trying to install Ptolemy 0.7.1 over WNT4.0.
I have being following the steps of the "Detailed nt4 Installation
Instructions" which appear in
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/ptpub/nt/ptntinstall.html, but I have
had some problems:
1.-
===========================
The step 6, says:
" Create /etc/passwd and /etc/group by running
mkdir /etc
mkpasswd -d -l -g > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -d -l > /etc/group"
When I write in the Cygwin "mkpasswd -d -l -g > /etc/passwd" I get the next
error message: "NetUserEnum() failed wigh 1326" and the same with the other
command. I get the files "passwd" and "group" but with no length.
2.-
===========================
In another step I must write:
"chown -R yourlogin ."
where "yourogin" is por example "ptolemy" (I have created it). The error
message which appears is: "chown: ptolemy: invalid user"
3.-
==========================
The last step for building Ptolemy tell me to write:
"make -k ntbuild >& make.out"
The problem is that it seems like if the computer was building nothing, and
I get a make.out file which only contain the next:
"make: *** No rule to make target `ntbuild'"
4.-
=========================
I think I have done ok the rest of the steps, but I have no foler like
$PTOLEMY/bin.nt4, that is where I think the compiler is installed nor one
like $PTOLEMY/obj.nt4.
Please, can anybody help me about these problems?
Thank you very much in advance,
Juan Carlos.
