Aha. Yeah. One of my programming environments has added a set of gnu tools to my PATH. Blargh. Its the same file as find from _utils. 

 

Going to remove it from the path. Going to have fun diagnosing errors with that environment later I suspect but c'est la vie. 

I checked this when it first happened. Windows 8 does ship with find (its version 6.2.9200 currently) and VER | find "Version 6.2"  or VER | find /i "Version 6.2"  , and all the rest work and produce correct answers (which works out to everything being false since "Version 6.2" isn't included).

 

The error comes from it using the gnu version of find  from Trimpack, Fixpack , Smooth pack and Textpack in their _utils folder. But I can't figure out how that's happened. I've checked the folder after termination and the gnu find hasn't been copied anywhere else, so the only way it can happen is if something isn't changing directories properly after being in one of those or is explicitly calling the _util version of find (which is unlikely since if you were directly calling it you'd know it was the gnu version). I can't see this working correctly since if its testing using gnu find , its going to execute using the gnu find which has totally different parameters (*nix style instead of Windows style)

I reported this in the Big World Setup thread and dabus has told me its a Fixpack problem (probably with Cre Fixer) , so I'll bring it over here.

I'm using the latest version of BWS, using the "Standard" install on Windows 8, but my BWS log file contains gems like this:


find: `/i': No such file or directory
find: `Windows 95': No such file or directory
find: `/i': No such file or directory
find: `Windows 98': No such file or directory
find: `/i': No such file or directory
find: `Windows Millennium': No such file or directory
find: `NT': No such file or directory
find: `XP': No such file or directory
find: `2000': No such file or directory
[weidu] WeiDU version 23100

It starts with The Darkest Day mod , and then occurs frequently thereafter.

It looks to me like something (Weidu when using a function call?) is calling find.exe (and expecting the standard windows find command which has a /i flag) but the Big Word _utils version (from Fix/Trim/Install/Text pack) of find is getting called instead which appears to be a Windows port of a linux version which uses the *nix - flag structure, so its essentially searching for random stuff and getting passed random flags if any of the text incudes a hyphen. Since the utils version of find doesn't seem to be copied anywhere and its not on my PATH, I suspect BWS is executing from the wrong directory / failing to change directories somewhere.

I've attached my install log (it terminates at Check the Bodies due to unrelated errors), but you can see this happen before then.

@Kalanyr
I'm always use my "BiG World Install.bat" on XP and never had this problem. Cre Fixer works flawlessly. It seems to be BWS (BiG World Setup) specific.

 

Sorry it took so long to get back on this but Gibberlings 3 went down. I've tried this with the Big World Install Bat as well now, and the same error happens.

 

I'm on Windows 8 , using the GOG versions of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II and the same error occurs.

 

I killed the install a bit after it happened for the first time since a command going that wrong isn't going to result in a working installation. 

 

Install Logs (Big World and Weidu) attached.

Does anyone know where I can get these:


Touchstone NPC (Touch-The-Moon): The Mod itself (TouchstoneV1.0.zip)
Legion of Hell: The Mod itself (LOHMod.zip)
NMR-HAPPY Patch: The Mod itself (NMR-Happy.zip)

I checked trow.cc for Legion of Hell / NMR-Happy Patch but the links I found in old threads seem to be out of date.

I couldn't find anything about Touchstone apart from a link to borderkingdoms which seems to be long dead.

Keeping Yoshimo (beta): The Mod itself (__Yoshi.zip) is missing for the moment too but that justs because Gibberlings is down for now and should resolve itself when that gets back up.

Thanks
