Issues with KOS Setup Script

[thebmanishere]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get any help with this?

I'm running into an error when trying to install the setup script from: http://dcemulation.org/?title=Compiling ... all_script

Every time I try to run the script, it will stop when trying to download KOS and KOS ports

Code: Select all

$ sh kos_setup.sh
MingW32 detected.

 there is nothing to do
Creating directory /opt/toolchains/dc as root, giving users access to it.
Downloading KOS and KOS ports.

I've installed the correct version of Mingw, ran the ming32_shell.bat and renamed the script to "kos_setup.sh". If it helps, I'm running Windows 10, 64bits, and i'm using a different account on windows separate from my main user account. Any help would be great appreciated!

Unfortunately, I don't use MinGW to do development, so I can't really be of any help here.

That said, since you're on Windows 10, another option is to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature and to build the toolchain that way (if you're not dead-set on using MinGW), which is actually the "officially supported" way to set KOS up on Windows (as in, it's the only way I've tried to do it any time recently, as the main KOS maintainer). If you'd like to try that route, you can find the instructions here: http://gamedev.allusion.net/softprj/kos/setup-wsl.php

Thanks for the reply! I'll give that a shot and report back here with my results
