Regarding the installation of Cygwin: Downloading and Installing all the stuff from the "Devel" package takes quite long. I am sure most of the stuff in there is definitely not required (Mercurial? Subversion bindings for Ruby? Prolog Interpreter??) but I am not sure which components really are required. Maybe someone who is more familiar with the GNU Toolchain and the eAthena dependencies can identify the needed components? --Crush 00:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
I also would recommend downloading notepad++ because the default windows notepad isn't the best text editor. This helps with fixing problems and doesn't wrap in hard to read ways. This isn't a necessary step, but it does help.Wombat 17:55, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Can someone help me
I dont get where to save eAthena its hard and i dont get it and I wanna have my own server PLEASE HELP!
Whenever I type any of the things it tells me too:5.Browse to the directory where you would like to have eAthena. When you want it in c:/tmw, for example, the command would be cd /cygdrive/c/tmw/ (directory must exist. when it does not you can create it with mkdir /cygdrive/c/tmw/) all it says is "No such file or directory" what do I do please help me :(
- Windows Support I recommend you go there or to #themanaworld IRC chat to get help on setting up a server. Wombat 17:09, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
I did that bit but now when I do the git clone https://blah blah blah, it says bash: gitclone: command not found, I'm sorry to be a pain but i REALLY wanna create my own server.
So there should or shouldnt be a space (I do a space)
- Your error message shows no space. You should have a space:
git clone blah
heres what it comes out with:
bash: git: command not found
- Did you install git when you installed cygwin? If not, install it through cygwin's mechanism. — Jaxad0127 15:38, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
make does not create the .exe files i need

Troubleshooting
I had some problems getting the .exe files for my server, so I requested assistance. After going through all steps, up to opening my .exe servers (all steps up to step 13), I went to src/common/core.c and changed "#include <wait.h>" to "#include <sys/wait.h>" and compiled my eathena folder again. Compiling using cygwin entering "make" as suggested currently on step 9 of the setup.Wombat 09:19, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
that one doesn't work for me, even tho I put sys/ in front of my wait.h
what suggestions do you have now?
....---> okay if that happens, check if you installed cygwin right... helped me :P
- Here is a few things to do to fix the current problems with downloading the eathena server. If you are experiencing problems with getting your servers (map-server.exe, login-server.exe, char-server.exe in your eathena folder):
- Re-open cygwin and go to your eathena directory.
- Type into the command line: git reset --hard HEAD^.
- Open your text editor (I use notepad++, as suggested in the above comments).
- Open with your text editor /eathena/src/common/core.c and change "include <wait.h>" to "include <sys/wait.h> and save.
- Go back to cygwin and make your eathena directory. Your servers should appear after this is done.
