"cp" is not recognized as an internal or external command

[creWn]

When i use xrbinup.cmd, i get an error "cp" is not recognized as an internal or external command. What should I do?

xrbinup script assumes that you have common Linux utilities installed and added to PATH (msysgit does that during the installation process). If, for some reason, you don't have these utilities, you can simply replace cp to copy /Y.

On windows xrbinup not needed?

[nitrocaster]

Windows is the only supported OS. You need xrbinup to update game binaries with the ones you've just compiled.

What i doing wrong?

[nitrocaster]

The script is intended to be executed from windows command prompt, not from bash (that's why it has .cmd extension).

"cp" is not recognized as an internal or external command.
I cant figure out which utils i should install.

Hi there creWn. I recommend GnuWin32. Installation should be pretty straightforward and I believe it includes standard unix utilities.

And if you don't already know how, this here explains how to edit the PATH variable (where the binaries are located). Instead of pointing it to Java stuff, just point it to where the exe files are installed for GnuWin32 :)

My first comment is exactly about that.

[awdavies]

True. I think creWn was just looking for a link, though ;)

Another solution would be to reinstall msysgit and choose 'Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt':

At least master branch must be and actually is compilable and runnable.

If anyone has have trouble with compilation like:
"setx XRAY_16X_LIBS g:\dev\ /m" in cmd create incorrect variable, so i create variable manually through "Environment variable" window in system variables field and now everything ok!

Great!

However please note:

• This is already how compilation works.
• Discussion of compilation problems is not pertinent to the issue at hand.

Given it appears compilation works and more than sufficient information has been given on how to fix ' "cp" being an unrecognized command ' I will mark this as resolved.
