在 windows cmd 上运行 unix 命令

Question

i am currently trying to learn how to develop apps for android mobile phones using PhoneGap. i was able to get this book titled "PhoneGap 2x mobile application development". ths book is really nice and self explanatory but the problem i have is when the author want to create d project via the command line, he was using Unix commands because he is running a Unix PC. I am running Windows and to follow his commands using the CMD is a bit hard for me because i dont understand all of his commands.

Below was what he wrote:

mkdir $PROJECT_HOME
cd $PROJECT_HOME
mkdir Android iOS www
cd $PHONEGAP_HOME/lib/android/bin
./create $PROJECT_HOME/Android/QuizTime com.phonegaphotshot.
QuizTime QuizTime
cd $PHONEGAP_HOME/lib/ios/bin
./create $PROJECT_HOME/iOS com.phonegaphotshot.QuizTime QuizTime
cd $PROJECT_HOME
mkdir www/cordova
cp Android/QuizTime/assets/www/cordova-2.2.0.js www/cordova/
cordova-2.2.0-android.js
cp iOS/www/cordova-2.2.0.js www/cordova/cordova-2.2.0-ios.js
cd Android/QuizTime/assets
rm –rf www
ln –s ../../../www
cd ../../../iOS
rm –rf www
ln -s ../www
cd ..
cd www
cp –r $YASMF_DOWNLOAD/framework .
mkdir images models views style
cd ..
cd Android/QuizTime/src/com/phonegaphotshot/QuizTime
edit QuizTime.java
Change "index.html" to "index_android.html"
Save the file.
cd $PROJECT_HOME/iOS/QuizTime

can someone tell me how to do this on the windows cmd. i know what mkdir is but i need a total description and if possible a translation following that if you were to do this on a windows cmd.

Answer 1

I forgot to mention one simple fact. You CAN NOT RUN the unix commands over Windows DOS/CMD check this link. It gives direct co-relation between dos and unix commands. hope this helps. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/app2.html

or better still, check this http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/unix_for_dos_users.html

Once you get the different commands, guess it should not be hard for you to write it in DOS. Note: The "create" command is part of phonegap/cordova apis..

Also, check this link: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/guide_command-line_index.md.html

Here is a snapshot of the code converted:

 -- make directory ---
 C:\> mkdir PROJECT_HOME
 -- go to the directory you created ---
 cd PROJECT_HOME
-- make directories inside ---
C:\PROJECT_HOME> mkdir Android
C:\PROJECT_HOME> mkdir iOS
C:\PROJECT_HOME> mkdir www
-- now navigate to the bin directory- ---
C:\PROJECT_HOME> cd \lib\android\bin
-- now you basically runn the create command, am hereby just putting in what you wrote ---
C:\PROJECt_HOME\lib\android\bin>create \PROJECT_HOME\Android\QuizTime com.phonegaphotshot.QuizTime QuizTime
----- do same for the ios------------
-------make dir for cordova -------
C:\PROJECT_HOME> cd www
C:\PROJECT_HOME\www> mkdir cordova
--then you have to copy the contents of one directory to another, to copy everyrthin in directory recursively, use xcopy-----------
C:\PROJECT_HOME> XCOPY Android\QuizTime\assets\www\cordova-2.2.0.js www\cordova\cordova-2.2.0-android.js

I know this is a quite old question but anyway, have you ever tried a terminal emulator? Try Console . It's a free terminal emulator for windows.

and to get to know what a command does type

man <command>

in the terminal.

Answer 3

The book "PhoneGap 2x mobile application development" is quite old. The phonegap/cordova development has changed quite a bit from 3x onwards. The current/latest version is 4x.

Below are the links pertaining to phonegap/cordova 3x which will work for 3x and 4x versions.

hope it helps.

如果您安装 Cygwin，您可以在 Windows CMD 上使用 unix 命令，如您在本网站上看到的https://lifehacker.com/362316/use-unix-commands-in-windows-built-in-command-prompt

Answer 5

Actually, it is possible to run UNIX commands on Windows. Have a look at all of the UNIX commands compiled for Windows in this GitHub repository: https://github.com/George-Ogden/UNIX
