virtualtex script help

Also when I switch from C:\ to sh-2.04$ by typing sh at the command prompt
then I type PATH the output reads:

sh: PATH: command not found

I'm an idiot

sh: PATH: command not found

that should be:

Code: Select all

C:\test>sh
sh-2.04$ echo $PATH
/c/Gnuwin32/MinGW/bin:/c/program files/imagemagick-6.3.5-q16:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDO
WS/System32/Wbem:/c/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/AGL:/c/Program Files/NVIDIA Corporation/DDS Uti
lities:/c/Program Files/ATI Technologies/ATI.ACE/Core-Static:/c/Program Files/Nmtools:/c/Program Fil
es/XnView:/c/Program Files/NVIDIA Corporation/DDS Utilities:/c/Program Files/gzip:/c/mingw:/c/mingw/
bin:/c/mingw/lib:/c/mingw/include:/usr:/usr/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/include:/usr/home/ozark/nip2-7.12.0/bi
n

Now I have been able to get the latest version of MinGW which is 5.13.

also there is an issue with the system Path. The first line in the path says C:\Gnuwin32\MinGW/bin; This directory no longer exists (don't know if this is a problem or not but if i edit the system path, it doesn't show up so i can't remove it). Also, the system path indicates :/usr:/usr/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/include:/usr/home/ozark/nip2-7.12.0/bi
n; However in system variables PATH dialog, it says msys instead of usr(again i don't kow if this is a problem)

MinGW and Msys are in C:\ e.g (C:\mingw, and c:\msys) nip2 is in c:\msys/home/ozark/nip2-7.12.0/ VIPS is in C:\windows/vips/7.10.16/
and your vips_vt script is in C:\mingw\bin

Now when i follow your instructions this is the result:

Code: Select all

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\ozark>cd c:\test

C:\test>sh
sh-2.04$ sh vipsvt.sh *.png 512 png
vipsvt.sh: vipsvt.sh: No such file or directory
sh-2.04$

And when $path is entered in msys CLI the output reads:

Code: Select all

ozark@HOME~
$ echo $PATH
/home/ozark/nip2-7.12.0/bin:
ozark@HOME`


I'm thinking the system Path is messed up somehow or i put VIPS in the wrong place.

Any thoughts?

yes a path prob .
now mingw ,msys, GnuWin32 programs ,and nip can be installed almost anywhere .You will find that having MinGW , MSys and GnuWin32 apps all installed in
C:\\GnuWin32\
C:\\GnuWin32\MinGW
C:\\GnuWin32\MSys
and GnuWin32 apps in C:\\GnuWin32\MinGW\
is best
otherwise ALL and EVERY /bin,/lib,/include,/share folder will need to be in the system path
example
C:\\Program Files\autoconf-2.59\bin
for every program
insted of C:\\GnuWin32\MinGW\bin
only once
and install nip2 in C:\\Nip2
and install vips in the nip2 folder

Success!!

Thank you john!
The problem i was having (and perhaps i wasn't doing it correctly )but whereyou said:

cd C:\\Path to test and hit enter
then type sh vipsvt.sh *.png 512 png and hit enter
and see what happens

for some reason typingvipsvt.sh was causing my problems. When i typed it as sh vipsvt *.png 512 Png
Everything worked fine. Thanks again


Much Thanks!

good to hear i take it that the verttex script is saved as vipsvt and not vipsvt.sh

both are correct a shell script can be saved with out the ,sh
