I run cygwin on windows on my F:drive
Now I installed cGPSmapper in F:\cGPSmaper

What else do I have to do to run ./makemaps_individual.sh
Now it genarates errors:

rene@Movies ~/oaconvert/cgpsmapper
$ ./makemaps_individual.sh
./makemaps_individual.sh: line 47: cgpsmapper: command not found
./makemaps_individual.sh: line 64: cpreview: command not found
./makemaps_individual.sh: line 65: cgpsmapper: command not found
etc etc....

Ren�,

If you get a 'command not found' error, that simply means... well...
that the command that you're executing cannot be found :-) This can be
because of

1) The program/command is not installed on your system.

2) The program/command is installed, but cannot be found because it is
not in your PATH.

You're most likely in case 2). Somehow, i _do_ find it strange that
cgpsmapper is not in your PATH... i would assume the installer
automatically adds the correct directories to your PATH at installation
time...

To check if the cgpsmapper program is in your PATH environment variable,
simply type

echo $PATH

at your Cygwin prompt. If you see the directory that contains the
cgpsmapper program in there, then you're OK. If not, you have to add
that directory to your PATH. An internet search for for example
'setting path windows' will show you how to do that.

Kind regards,
Bart
