      Hey Ben!              ----- ye ol' vim insert of fetchem.sh starts              huskysite=http://husky.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/husky              for tarball in huskybse huskylib smapi fidoconf areafix hpt; do        wget "$huskysite/$tarball/?view=tar" -O $tarball.tgz       done              ----- ye ol' vim insert of fetchem.sh ends              If you snip the above code to a directory where you wish to store the       Husky Project source and save it as fetchem.sh then from the prompt do;               sh fetchem.sh              it should fire up 'wget' to nab the c code from the appropriate       directory on the server and output it to a gzipped tarball in whatever       local directory you are running the fetchem.sh in. It's a fairly       simple script other than the wget part and is a good demonstration       of a bash 'for' loop as well as testing your local tar and gzip.       I purposely used the 'tgz' suffix as opposed to the usual 'tar.gz'       since I am uncertain about filename schemes in NT but suspect it is       limited to 3 charaters after the '.' character.              Once you are ready I can try to decifer the build strategy for cygwin       as it applies to the above souces. There is a certain order you must       follow for any of it to work.              Life is good,       Maurice              --- GNU bash, version 4.2.10(2)-release (x86_64-atom-linux-gnu)        * Origin: Pointy Stick Society (1:261/38.9)    |
