Re: [Help-smalltalk] Re: Building on Windows XP

[Giuseppe Luigi Punzi]

Hi again,

Well, more info.

I got 2 exe files. gst.exe and gst-tool.exe but, I noticed thath when I 
wrote gst and press TAB, I saw all the files, and started to search.

I don't know how (previous make install or something similar?), but in 
C:\msys\1.0\local\bin I have all the executables.

From there, on Windows shell, I cant start GST with gst.exe, but is 
curious. I can start it, If I don't put the extension.

I want say...I can do
C:\msys\1.0\local\bin\gst-blox

but don't
C:\msys\1.0\local\bin\gst-blox.exe

If I add exe extension, then a blank line appear and again the shell prompt.

I will paste the output of all exe files. I ran -h parameter when no output.

** This could be ok because I don't have TCL

We are close to a solution for the windows binaries? :D

If I have force, because I have Windows too on my MacBook laptop, I will 
do more tests.

I hope I'm not collapsing the list. Sorry if so.

Cheers.

Note: Paolo, This list accepts HTML mails?
