CYGWIN req's #602

Closed Agilurso closed 2 years ago

Agilurso commented 2 years ago

Worked like a champ on CYGWIN. Please add to the README:

For CYGWIN install, make sure the latest of the following are installed.: coreutils gzip unzip wget xxd

myspaghetti commented 2 years ago

Cygwin has always been mentioned on the readme in every version since the very first version of the script.

Agilurso commented 2 years ago

yep. Thought it might be helpful to list the dependencies that are necessary from a default CYGWIN install. Your script lists gzip/unzip/wget/coreutils. Doesn't list xxd.

myspaghetti commented 2 years ago

xxd is mentioned twice in the depenencies section in the readme, twice in the script's top comment block, and has its own runtime dependency check:

# check that xxd supports endianness -e flag
if [[ -z "$(xxd -e -p -l 16 /dev/urandom 2>/dev/null)" ]]; then
    echo "Please make sure a version of xxd which supports the -e option is installed."
    echo -e "The -e option should be listed when executing   ${low_contrast_color}xxd --help${default_color}"
    echo "The package vim-common-8 provides a compatible version on most modern distros."
    exit
