Fwd: MSYS -- mingw

Press RESET immediately, All! I watched MSYS. I liked it. It’s just a pity that there is confusion with the paths for programs compiled under msys and all others. By the way, there is compiled for windows bash.exe, which is good. I'm not happy with Vim version 5.x, which stubbornly reprograms rxvt to 80x25. I wonder what could be the reason? I really want one working in msys Vim, moreover, right inside rxvt... And rxvt refuses to move along screen using the keyboard is also a drawback. But, I must say, anything is better there will be a Windows console. In addition, all programs, except msys ones, do not accept SIGSTOP, which is inconvenient. I think I can guess why this is... It is also interesting, besides confusion with the paths, what else could interfere using programs from msys in combination with conventionally ported ones programs for windows? The fact is that the set of programs included with msys very limited, but there are a lot of alternative “ports”. It would be good if it all worked more or less together... Here is Vim, for example, a full-fledged one version 6.1, port for Windows. When running from msys, :make does not work. Why? Says C:WindowsTEMPmakexxxx.tmp not found! Indeed There is no such file, but why doesn’t running “make > blablabal” work? understandable. :-/ Or maybe someone will suggest a solution on how to get rid of the confusion with the paths?The fact is that for msys programs the file root starts from the directory where msys installed. And for other programs - from the root directory of the current disk. Put msys directly in the root? And here’s another thing: sh.exe launched in the windows98 console displays everything in white letters on a black background. But it should be the other way around. As I understand it, in sh.exe How is the color set? But how? Is it really in $PS1? (ansi.sys installed just to repaint the screen from the terrible black dos in white and fluffy Windows). But overall, I want to say that msys has a positive effect on me impression, and, I hope, will serve as a good help in giving Windows has a human face (this is when the interface is like Unix)...

hi Kirill! I am responding to your letter dated 09/01/2004, then written by Kirill Frolov to Kirill Frolov, and then it was 22:39:39.

I was once playing around with Tsygvin. Regarding the paths - everything is a little different here for example c: will match /cygdrive/c/ etc... ps: this is how anope works for me :) (services via ircd) Bay W.B.R. rNd [Team: X-Tension] [FREE] [BSB] [GMD]
