Re: A89: TI-GCC 0.8 and Win2k




Hi!

| yes, you didn't put the line in your path, add it to your autoexec.win (i
| think) and it should work.

This is not the real problem.  This problem was reported before, only the
"?A?" was "OAO".  This is extremely weird; it seems that tigcc.exe gets the
wrong information about its own file name.  I don't have a Win2k system to
test with (and I don't have enough money to buy it, nor to buy a hard drive
it could fit on), so I can't fix this.

You might be able to fix this by not having a space in the folder name.  If
not the following might work:  Take the old tigcc.exe compiled under Borland
C++ Compiler from the Alternative TIGCC files, and add the following
registry entry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Software
        Cygnus Solutions
            Cygwin
                mounts v2
                    /

Yes, that's right; the last one is a slash.  In this registry entry, make a
DWord value "flags" with the value 0, and a string "native" with the name of
the C folder of you TIGCC installation (for example "C:\Program
Files\TIGCC\C".

Then you might be able to use the old version of tigcc.exe, which in turn
might work.  Please tell me if it did.

Bye,
Sebastian Reichelt
