<h2>Using expect-lite with Cygwin<!-- Future -->
</h2>Althought expect-lite was initially created for the Linux
environment, there are many users of expect-lite using windows and
cygwin. Version 4.0.1, has been tested extensively on cygwin.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the current version of expect, used by expect-lite, in cygwin is quite old (2003).<br>
<br>
NOTE (June 2012): versions 4.2.0 thru 4.30 will not work with the old version of expect in cygwin. This has been fixed in 4.3.1<br>
<h2><a name="limitations"></a>Limitations of using the old cygwin expect from 2003<!-- Features --> </h2>The
Powerful new Debugger in expect-lite is using underlying features of
expect which are just not available in the 2003 version. Although
expect-lite script should execute without problem, some of the newer
cool debugger features will not work correctly.<br>
<br>
The limitations in the Debugger are:<br>
<ul>
<li>Copy/Paste expect-lites into the debugger - not supported. A warning will be printed when entering the Debugger<br>
</li>
<li>Debugger commands: must use back-quote ` rather than the escape key</li>
</ul><br>
<h2><a name="download"></a>There is a newer version of expect available<br>
</h2>I have compiled the CVS version of expect 5.45 for cygwin. A tar
file is available which includes the expect binary, and required
libraries.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://expect-lite.sourceforge.net/cygwin/cygwin_expect_5_45.tar.gz">Download the newer version of expect</a>, and unleash the full potential of expect-lite on your cygwin system.<br>
<br>
To install the tarball, untar from the root<br>
<ul>
<li>cd /</li>
<li>tar xvzf cygwin_expect_5_45.tar.gz</li>
</ul>
To verify new version type: expect -v<br>
<br>
If anyone has experience creating Cygwin packages, please drop me a
note, I would like to update the version expect in the Cygwin
repository.<br>
