Stupid Question

[ericd2011]

I am trying to install program from a .zip. I unzipped it and in the readme it said i would need to type in "/.configure" and "make install" and it didn't say where and I don't know.

so you are running linux. just go to the file in the command prompt and cd to the directory then hit./config and make and makeinstall

 

[ericd2011]

no i'm not running linux

 

[brian]

well that is a linux application

 

[ericd2011]

i picked the win32 version

 

[brian]

then there should be a exe file. make install is a linux thing

 

[ericd2011]

is there anyway that i might need to do it for windows? if so how?

 

[brian]

no the ./config will not work in windows i think.

 

[ericd2011]

oh ok that makes sense lol thanks

HOW TO COMPILE
--------------
Type "./configure" and then "make" and "make install".
If you have CYGWIN, you have to follow the instructions "./configure" prints
after running.
For PalmPilot, run "./configure-palm".
For ARM processor mobiles, run "./configure-arm".

 

[brian]

you need cygwin

It's been said before, those instructions are for Linux. You've got source code so you have to build it yourself. The instructions you have do not work on windows.
