[Coco] ack!

[Lothan]

As someone else pointed out, I failed to mention that you need to cd nitros9 
before doing the hg update step.

As for which Cygwin packages are required, I'm not certain that I can give a 
definitive list. This is a subset of packages I have installed that I 
believe are required.

binutils
bzip2
coreutils
diffutils
gcc
gcc-core
gcc-mingw (may not be needed)
gcc-mingw-core (may not be needed)
gzip
libcc
libssh
make
mercurial
mingw-binutils
mingw-gcc-core
mingw-runtime
openssh (if you use ssh with Mercurial)
tar
w32api-headers
w32api-runtime
zlib

Lothan,
So far all has gone well up to step 6 with the exception of a ton of 
"warnings" in the lwtools build. No errors though. I may have missed a 
support file as that part wasn't explained thoroughly. i.e. step 1 "etc..." 
When one knows NOTHING of the system, "etc.." is absolutely useless. A full 
list is needed as to what needs to be included. The Cygwin installation was 
painless, but not knowing "what" to include as "etc." isn't a Cygwin option. 
It's these kind of instructions that killed OS-9 for newbies in the 80s and 
90s. I'm not saying you were not helpful or that I'm the average 
unknowledgable user, but when details matter, they should be included. I 
just downloaded the defaults as I didn't know what else to include. I 
already had Mercurial installed on my system from a previous attempt at 
creating my own repository for something else. I assumed it would work and 
it did. I don't know if I missed anything else.

Here's what I get in step 6.

This works fine:
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/nitros9/code nitros9

This gives an error:
hg update lwtools-port
"abort: no repository found in 'c:/cygwin/home/username' (.hg not found)"

So what am I doing wrong here?
