Installing in brief for MS-DOS systems

All MS-DOS releases of the Developer's Kit can use this brief installation procedure. For more detail on the installation procedure, see section Developer's Kit installation on MS-DOS.

We ship your Developer's Kit on a set of floppy disks. The INSTALL program is included on Disk 1.

Steps for Brief Install:

1. Insert Disk 1 into the floppy drive (the example shows `A:') and type:

   A:\INSTALL
   

2. INSTALL prompts for an installation directory; the default is `C:\CYGNUS'. The tools may be installed anywhere. (If you are installing more than one Developer's Kit, see section MS-DOS installation directories.) Make sure the installation directory is correct and press RETURN.
3. INSTALL first checks the installation location to make sure it has enough space before unpacking the tools. Installed Developer's Kit disk usage varies from about 10 to about 16 megabytes, depending on the target. The disk labels list the required disk space for each distribution.
4. INSTALL reads the first disk and then requests the next.
5. After the last disk, press RETURN to exit the INSTALL program.
6. To run the programs, type `installdir\SETENV' to set up your working environment. (installdir is the installation directory you specified, `C:\CYGNUS' by default.)

   C:\> cd c:\cygnus
   C:\CYGNUS\> setenv
   ...
   

7. To test the installation, change your working directory to the `installdir\DEMO' subdirectory and type `MAKE':

   C:\CYGNUS\> cd c:\cygnus\demo
   C:\CYGNUS\DEMO> make
   ...
   

8. It is often easiest to set your working environment in the initialization file `AUTOEXEC.BAT'. If you installed in the default `C:\CYGNUS', you can simply add the following line to your `AUTOEXEC.BAT':

   CALL C:\CYGNUS\SETENV.BAT
