Bash etc.

[Damo Nair]

Hello,

Sorry if you've heard this a zillion times before, but I've spent quite a
bit of time googling for the answer.

I've just installed Cygwin on XP & how do I get rid of bash? Or how do I
set some variables up? I am just trying to
to run simple C programs. After I compiled the standard hello.c it says
"bash : hello.exe command not found". :-)

Thanks very much.
Damo Nair.

This is a Linux group, and Cygwin is not Linux.

Why would you want to do that?

An executable program must either be in your PATH (a variable
with a colon-separated list of directories containing
executables) or be called with the path to the file. If the file is
in the current directory, use:

./hello.exe

[...] If the file is
../hello.exe

Don't you mean this?

./hello.exe

../hello.exe

(Sigh) I meant to have only one period at the beginning of that line.

It only had one dot when I saw the original message, and your reply.

It looks like it is your system that is doubling up the leading dot.
