I created a bootable USB stick with FreeDOS 1.3 using the FD13FULL.img image from the FreeDOS website. Then I managed to boot (not install FreeDOS) from this USB stick and I wanted to add some packages. So I opened the package manager fdimples.
First, it wouldn't open telling me
TEMP environment variable is not set.
So I crated a directory \TEMP and set set TEMP=\TEMP, after which fdimples started normally. However, now when I press OK to confirm I want to install packages, I get messages of the form
install c:\packages\devel\watcomc.zip
Error: custom dir 'links' is not a valid absolute path
How can I fix this?

I am getting the following error on Windows:
Cargo, the Rust package manager, is not installed or is not on PATH.
remote: This package requires Rust and Cargo to compile extensions.
I've installed Rust and cargo is in the path, but the problem persists. Does anybody know why this is happening?
Error message is the same as in this post.
Heroku's stack runs on Ubuntu. Cargo is required by pywinpty but that's a library required for communicating with Windows processes. You may need it for your local environment but you don't need it for Heroku. You should try removing pywinpty from your requirements.txt when you deploy to Heroku.
If you want a temporary solution
Open a command line prompt (cmd) and execute
path
that will show you the actual, current path. Inspect it to see whether the necessary directories are really absent. If they are, execute
path=%path%;directory you want to add;other directory you want to add
The path will be available in the command prompt for as long as it's open. If they are present, reboot the computer, the addition to the path may have been delayed after installation.
The permanent solution
For Win10 but I guess instructions are not very different for other flavors.
Open System properties, find Environment Variables. In the dialog that pops up you will see System Variables, among which you will see Path. Select it, click edit and add the directories you need via the New button. Close all popup boxes and reboot (always a good idea when Windows is stubborn ;-) )
Trying to use iFuse to access iPhone files on Windows but not getting anyway. Would appreciate if people can share instructions/steps on how to get this to work?
iFuse to access iPhone files on Ubuntu works well; therefore, I am confident the issue is on Windows.
Using https://github.com/hooby3dfx/ifuse/releases/tag/win-dokany-0.1
Unzip test.zip in the above link
make sure iTune is installed
Install the specified Dokan version; doesn't seem to work with the latest Dokan version
Open a command window in Admin mode to run the command (e.g. ifuse tmnt --container bundle ID)
While the command is still running in the Admin window, open another command window to list the mounted directory
When I run command ./configure I receive below mentioned error:
configure: error: Cannot build Qt apps, probably due to missing or too old Qt packages. Make sure Qt development packages are installed and newer than Qt 5.4. You can disable Qtenv by setting the WITH_QTENV variable to "no" in configure.user.
I have installed Qt5.9.0 after receiving above error, installed mingw-32bit but still receiving same error. Can anyone help me to solve the problem?
The OMNeT++ package for Windows contains all libraries and other tools (including JRE), so there is no need to install anything separately.
To install OMNeT++ in Windows one should:
Download a proper version of OMNeT++ - i.e. OMNeT++ 5.4 (Windows).
Turn off aniti-virus real time protection.
Extract the whole archive into a directory whose name doesn't contain spaces.
Double-click mingwenv.cmd, then press any key.
After some time in the mingwenv console type: ./configure, then make.
In the mingwenv console type omnetpp to start OMNeT++.
Later, to start OMNeT++ one should double click mingwenv.cmd, type omnetpp and do not close console.
I have removed polish characters from directory path and it solved thie problem. Check if directory has any special characters in directory path.
I'll share what worked for me. After installing the Qt package, remove the existing omnetpp directory and extract it from the zip file again. Run mingwenv.cmd, so that it initiates the tools extraction and is now able to load the installed Qt package. Running ./configure now doesn't show the error.
I am trying to edit my config file, which I am told is located at $EXIST_HOME/conf.xml. However, when I type $EXIST_HOME into my terminal nothing happens, and I have no idea where to look for the file in my file system. I am using OSX, and installed eXist using the standalone GUI, and was not asked where to install files at setup.
How can I get to the config file?
$EXIST_HOME is just used to represent wherever you installed eXist to. On many Linux/Unix based systems (including Mac OS X) it is recommended to set this environment variable in your profile to the location where you installed eXist. If you do not, when you try to start eXist it will try and self-determine this from the location of its binaries.
If you installed eXist from the .dmg file which is provided for Mac OS X users, then you can drag and drop eXist to wherever you wish, however typically this would be /Applications/eXist-db.
If you installed eXist from the .jar installer by running java -jar eXist-db-setup-2.2.jar or double-clicking the Jar file (if your computer is configured to execute Jar files), then the second screen of the installer prompts you for the location to install eXist to. The default location set for Mac OS X is /Applications/eXist-db.
So if you didn't change the defaults, your $EXIST_HOME would be /Applications/eXist-db.
On OS X, as adamretter correctly states, the default installation directory when using the Exist-DB installation disk image (.dmg) is /Applications/eXist-db. However, when you navigate to the /Applications/eXist-db folder and click on the exist-db icon, as if to open the directory for further browsing, all that happens is that the Exist-DB server starts. Less experienced Mac users might not realise that you have to right-click with the mouse on the Exist-DB icon in the Applications folder and choose 'Show Package Contents' from the menu in order to view the directories that sit beneath it.
The config.xml file can be found at:
/Applications/eXist-db.app/Contents/Resources/etc/config.xml
P.S. Don't forget to make a backup copy before you start editing :)
In connection with Server Fault question Need help with putting Cygwin on DVD for a offline install:
I'm trying to put the whole of Cygwin on a DVD, so I can have it with me for an offline install on a computer which doesn't have a network connection. I downloaded setup.exe, put "download without install" and selected "Current version" and under "All" I selected "Install".
After it downloaded all of it, I burned it onto a DVD.
Now when I try to install the thing, it reports some missing dependencies and gives out a lot of "NULL" (and I do mean A LOT) of errors.
Where did I go wrong? I'm assuming what I'm trying to do (put it on a DVD) is possible using that technnique?
Just to notice. I'm not trying to create a live Cygwin disc, just put the installer on the DVD to be able to install it onto the hard disk drive.
The easiest way to do this is to do the following:
1) Run the Cygwin setup.exe
2) Choose "Download without Installing"
3) When prompted, provide the "Local Package Directory" - this should be different from your root directory specified in the previous step.
4) Choose all the packages you need
5) Let the download proceed
Now you need to put the entire Local Package directory on your CD, including the parent. So, if you set the local package directory to c:\temp\CygPack, copy the CygPack directory to your CD without changing anything inside of it. Then:
1) Run the Cygwin setup.exe
2) Choose "Install from Local Directory"
3) Choose the package directory (CygPack)
4) Proceed with the install
The most important part of this is to change nothing in the package directory, and select the same top level directory you used during the download. The installer expects to find the directories/files in a certain layout.
There's now a tool, called "pmcyg", for building a self-contained off-line Cygwin distribution from a user-supplied list of packages. The tool will download all the selected packages, together with any that they depend on and the Cygwin installer program, to create a directory tree that can be directly burned onto a DVD.
pmcyg and is available via SourceForge.net.
You sure can! First link I found: Cygwin Offline Install
