Can someone elaborate on Cygwin instructions (step 9)

Post by Vano2000 »

i don't understand what these step require me to do:

9)Cygwin uses a special way of accessing the normal windows filesystem. If, for example, you placed the OpenTTD source code at C:\openttd\, Cygwin sees that as /cygdrive/c/openttd/.
+Alternatively, if you got subversion - launch cygwin and run mkdir -p /usr/src/openttd to make the directory, then cd /usr/src/openttd and finally svn checkout svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk. This will place all the source code in /usr/src/openttd/trunk
+You can always get the latest source code by running command: svn update.

especially this parts: "mkdir -p /usr/src/openttd", "cd /usr/src/openttd","svn checkout svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk". Where are those directories comming from and how do i know which one i have???

thx in advance

You know you have the directory/ies because you just created it/them.

If you didn't create them, you don't have them.

Comprehension is useful, but not required, for following those directions. Just type what they say to type, and everything will work.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.
