Running .bat files

Hi all, Currently, to execute makefiles for Windows toolsets that come with .bat files for setting environment variables, I'm using the following laborious process: 1. run the .bat file from cmd.exe 2. cd to the MSYS root directory 3. run msys.bat 4. cd to the makefile directory Can any of this be shortened? In particular, is there a way to run the .bat file from MSYS (I'm getting the error "fg: no job control") or to run msys.bat from a directory other than the MSYS root (I'm getting the error "Cannot find the rxvt.exe or sh.exe binary -- aborting")?

And for those, you type the command as "foo //option ..."; this is documented in the README file distributed with MSYS. HTH.

Linking to wsock32

I have a simple question I hope you do not mind I ask here. I have on old Makefile which I want to use to compile a program on MS Windows with MinGW. Makefile: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CC = gcc OBJS = gnuclient.o gnudoit.o gnuserv.o gnuslib.o getop.o ALL = gnuclient gnudoit gnuserv #INCLUDES = -I/afs/cs/misc/lemacs/build/src/lemacs-19.9/src -I. CFLAGS = -O -g $(DEFINES) $(INCLUDES) LDFLAGS = -lwsock32 all: $(ALL) gnuclient: gnuclient.o gnuslib.o gnuserv.h getopt.o getopt.h $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o gnuclient gnuclient.o gnuslib.o getopt.o <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The compilation seems to run ok, but linking fails: gcc -O -g -c -o gnuclient.o gnuclient.c gcc -O -g -c -o gnuslib.o gnuslib.c gnuslib.c: In function `GetEmacsPath': gnuslib.c:442: warning: passing arg 6 of `RegQueryValueExA' from incompatible pointer type gcc -O -g -c -o getopt.o getopt.c gcc -lwsock32 -o gnuclient gnuclient.o gnuslib.o getopt.o gnuclient.o(.text+0x3f0): In function `main': C:/Program Files/Emacs/setup/bin/src/GnuServe2a/gnuclient.c:337: undefined reference to `gethostname @8' gnuclient.o(.text+0x6de):C:/Program Files/Emacs/setup/bin/src/GnuServe2a/gnuclient.c:440: undefined reference to `WSACleanup@0' gnuslib.o(.text+0x171): In function `show_wsa_error': ....................... I have not built libwsock32.a myself, it comes with MinGW. What should I do to be able to link?
