pbuild PROMSGS

im running win98, i know my laptop got stolen,

Hi,

I'm trying to compile with cvs on a new note book, following the

documentation every thing worked ok until I got to "pbuild".

I set the DLC, POSSE and PATH variable, but when I run pbuild I get the

following output with a Progress error.

/////////*

$ ./src/adebuild/pbuild

Command: pbuild

pbuild: Creating dictdb database ... Thu Aug 8 10:06:07 2002

PROGRESS database empty was not found. error: 293

///////*

I think it's Path problem but I can't figure it out. Also if i manually run the pbuild script line by line, when i get to running prowin32.exe i get a errror msgopen: cannot open PROMSGS

prodb runs from the commeand line but has the same error when you choose the

db.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

This is an OS path issue.

Make sure you have the $DLC environment variable set properly to your Progress install directory.

Also make sure you you have the $DLC added to your OS $PATH environment variable.

The message is telling you that Progress cannot find the empty.db file which is in $DLC.

i've tried that using proenv, and leaving it running before i run cygwin, but still, i have problems,

how do you suggest i set it and my path?

Hi - I think that the problem may be because you have a space in your path "progress software". You can either put the path in quotes or use the tilda (~).
