I made a command file named gcc.bat: ----------------------------------- #! /bin/sh cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` ${1}.cpp -o ${1} -----------------------------------
I set the execution flag: -rwx--x--x+ 1 pd None 71 Dec 13 17:25 gcc.bat I typed the cc command in by hand and it worked fine. But when I try to run the command file from the Cygwin command line: ----------------------------------- $ ./gcc.bat murq E:\cygwin\install\home\pd>#! /bin/sh '#!' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. E:\cygwin\install\home\pd>cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` ${1}.cpp -o ${1} ----------------------------------- At this point, the Cygwin command line window is stuck. Nothing I type in has any effect, including Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Z. I had to use the close window button at the top right of the window. I downloaded Cygwin (complete, everything) last Friday (5 Dec) and installed everything on a clean E: disk on Vista. I need some advice on how to get command files to work.
