Compile Tin For Windows
-----------------------
- what is it?
- A Usenet newsreader
- system
- Windows 95, should work on NT, too
- Cygwin (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/)
- for B20
- preliminaries
- install ncurses first
- get tin source (e.g. from ftp://ftp.tin.org/tin/)
- configure
- export CC=gcc
- export CFLAGS="-DLOCAL_CHARSET=850 -DSTATIC"
^^^
(or 437 depends on "mode con")
- ./configure --with-ncurses --libdir=/usr/local/lib --disable-locale
- make
- cd src
- make
- make install
- does not work. Just copy tin.exe from the src dir to a directory in
your path.
- add to your profile:
export NNTPSERVER=your.nntp.server
export TERM=pcansi
- notes
- You also need an editor. vim works fine.
- tin needs an /etc/passwd
username:x:500:100:Real Name:/home:/bin/sh.exe
- in autoexec or in cygnus.bat
set HOME=c:\home
set USER=username
- tested with
tin pre-1.4 release 981225 ("Volcane")
tin pre-1.4 release 19990517 ("Psychonaut")
tin pre-1.4 release 19991104 ("Nine While Nine")
