Can someone help me.

EDIT:

The errors above occurred when i used mkbundle directly from Windows from Cygwin i get the following error

'as' command not found

From the Net i learned 'as' is a Compiler where can i get it,Please help me i'm not a Linux enthusiast

Answer 1

You need to use mkbundle from a Unix-like toolchain (such as Cygwin).

You have to install the gcc, gcc-mingw and as packages in Cygwin.

This is from mkbundle's man page.
