Intro--I'm not much of computer wiz--I just follow instructions (a little like the
dumb box itself, I guess!). I could
not find relevant answers in the cygwin archives.
I have been using the bash shell for compiling programs in c since fall of
2002 (version?). Sometime before a
hard-drive crash I had loaded the program onto a 750 MB Zip disk and was able to run
it from there. Since reloading Win
98 onto my computer, however, I can no longer run the bash shell: I get an error
message:
warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
bash-2.05b$
How, and where, do I create the tmp directory? Do I need to edit the
cygwin.bat file on the disk? Apparently,
the Zip disk version was still dependent on something on my hard drive which is no
longer present. How can I correct
this to make the program stand-alone from the Zip disk?
Related to this: Can I put the program onto a CD and run it from there, or
does it require writeable sectors to
function?
Thanks!
