Re: 1.3.20-1 CYGWIN ; csh,bash and ./config


Konstantinos,

First off, the script is written for csh.  Why would you expect sh or bash
to be able to interpret it?  These shells use different syntax.

The original script failed because you don't have csh installed.  Cygwin
does not have a "csh" package, but it does have a "tcsh" package that
makes /bin/csh a symbolic link to /bin/tcsh.  Please install the "tcsh"
package.  If you do have it installed, something is corrupted in your
installation, please re-install it using setup.exe.  Note that you don't
need to reinstall Cygwin, just the "tcsh" package.
	Igor
P.S. FYI, there is also an "ash" package that provides a "real" /bin/sh.
