Hello,
Trying to use cygnus cygwin-b20 to practice writing shell scripts.
I have RedHat 6.1 CD's.
The first program I needed for the examples was bc. I extracted the
source from the RH 6.1 rpm and compiled using b20. Went great and bc
appears to work properly.
Next, I needed a basic editor, so tried the same with vim-5.4 sources, and
it appears to not like a few things. I DID get it to compile, but it
appears to not be able to always understand the return for the term. I
think it may be because of the TERM environment (using cygwin).
it print "OOPS" at the beginning of the current line, and when using line
numbers, the line starts before the number.
Has anyone compiled a good copy of vi that will use either EXINIT or
.exrc to set it's mode for a i586 under cygwin? I am using win98.
Thanks,
please respond to:
