Um ein Windows-Perforce unter Cygwin laufen zu lassen, müssen die Pfade entsprechend angepasst werden, da die Windows-Perforce-Clients für den Client-Root die Windows-Pfad-Notation verwenden.
Die Anpassung kann mit der folgenden Bash-Wrapper-Funktion angepasst werden:
[geshi lang=bash]
ntp4 ()
{
here=”`cygpath -w \”$PWD\”`”;
PWD=”$here” //c/Program\ Files/Perforce/p4 “$@”
}
[/geshi]

I wrote this article originally back in 2005 and updated it the last time on 2007-10-14. It was originally available at http://www.georglutz.de/wiki/CourierServer. The information you find below might be rather outdated now and I don’t plan to work on it further, but I put it in the blog for archival purposes on this particular date – Georg in June 2011.
The RPM-Installation of MoinMoin (at least versions 1.5.6 and 1.5.7) is somehow broken. The typo lays in the spec file inside the tarball. There the changelog section contains an invalid date: “Do” instead of “Thu”. In order to work with “rpmbuild -ta” you need to correct it to “Thu” and recreate the tarball.
The following is a quick’n dirty HOWTO for installing apcupsd under Redhat Enterprise Linux / CentOS 4 as it is not really trivial.
Important point: You must assure that after a system shutdown when mains power comes back, your computer starts automatically. In my case this has not happend. I had to tweak manually /etc/init.d/halt to not issue a “halt -p” (-p stands for power down). Its enough to comment out the line which extends the HALTARGS variable.
If you plan to install cygwin on a couple of computers or on a host with limited internet access you might want to have a local mirror of the installation packages for setup.exe . There’s already a handy script called mkcygwegt which does the job for you. All you have to do is to provide a mirror URL. It downloads setup.ini then parses it and generates a file which consists of the apporpriate wget calls (cygwget).
However, I was not really contend with this script and improved a bit the way how cygwget is generated: Continue reading “mirror cygwin for local installation – enhanced version of mkcygwget”
