msysDVLPR
msysDVLPR is a system that behaves somewhat like cygwin, but it contains only the minimal (hence the M in MSYS) structure and tools necessary to run everything else as native win32. The major differences are that it treats files as binary by default instead of text, and that it understands UNIX filenames. This way, tools like make and m4 can run without many modifications that would otherwise be required for it to work properly in win32.
msysDVLPR is installed separately from your msys install, and it is only used for system tools that explicitly require this.
Get the MSYS installer if you don't already have the file downloaded:
And also get the msysDVLPR package:
Install MSYS again, but this time to a different location. Run the file and:
- Click Yes.
- Click Next >.
- Click Yes.
- Click Next >.
- Change the install folder to c:\msysDVLPR. Click Next >.
- Click Next >.
- Change the Start Menu folder to msysDVLPR. Click Install.
- When the command prompt shows up, type n and press Enter.
- Press Enter again.
- Uncheck both boxes and click Finish.
I don't know if it's necessary to update msys dll again.
Now unpack msysDVLPR-1.0.0-alpha-1.tar.gz over to c:\msysDVLPR. I don't remember if any files are overwritten, but you probably want to overwrite them.
Now whenever you have to enter an msysDVLPR shell, go:
- Start -> Programs -> msysDVLPR -> MSYS -> msys
- In the shell, type sh msysdvlpr and press Enter
A whiter rxvt will open. That is the MSYS shell. You may close the old beige window so you don't get confused.
