Installing on Win 95/NT Systems from CD
All releases of GNUPro Toolkit for Win95/NT systems can use the following CD installation procedure. For more detail on the installation procedure, see Installation on MS-DOS Systems. We ship GNUPro Toolkit for Win 95/NT systems on CD with the complete INSTALL program.
1.
Insert CD into CD-ROM drive (the following example shows a drive designated
as ‘A:’)
and type the following.
A:\INSTALL
2.
INSTALL
prompts for an installation directory; the default is ‘C:\CYGNUS’.
The tools may be installed anywhere. (If you are installing more than one
GNUPro Toolkit, see also MS-DOS
Installation Directories.) Make sure the installation directory is
correct and press Enter.
3.
INSTALL
first checks the installation location to make sure it has enough space
before unpacking the tools. Installed GNUPro Toolkit disk usage varies
from about 10 to about 30 megabytes, depending on the target. See Disk
space requirements for MS-DOS for the required disk space [corresponding
to Win 95/NT systems].
4.
INSTALL
reads CD.
5.
When finished, press Enter
to exit the INSTALL
program.
6.
To run the programs, type ‘installdir\SETENV’
to set up your working environment. (installdir\demo
is the installation directory you specified, ‘C:\CYGNUS’
by default.)
C:\> cd C:\CYGNUS
C:\CYGNUS\> SETENV
...
7.
To test the installation, change your working directory to the ‘installdir’
subdirectory, as in the following example, and type ‘MAKE’.
C:\CYGNUS\> cd C:\CYGNUS\demo
C:\CYGNUS\demo> MAKE
...
8.
It is often easiest to set your working environment in the initialization
file ‘AUTOEXEC.BAT’.
If you installed in the default, ‘C:\CYGNUS’,
add the following line to your ‘AUTOEXEC.BAT’.
CALL C:\CYGNUS\SETENV.BAT
