[ADMB Users] Problem with installation

[Tony Booth]

I seem to having some hassles with installing the newly available ADMB
software.

I followed these steps

1) I deleted my ADMB v7 software
2) I deleted my MINGW version
3) Followed all instructions to a tee.
4) But, when I try to "make" an executable I get the following returned to
me

-----------------
C:\ADMB>make
cd C:\\admb\\examples\\admb\\buscycle && makeadm.bat ham4 && ham4.exe
'cat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Error trying to create output file
ham4.cpp/mingw/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o):main.c:(.text+0xbd): undefined
reference to `WinMain at 16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ham4] Error 1
--------

I have checked on the version of GCC as follows
------------
C:\ADMB\examples\admb\simple>gcc -v
[detail deleted]
gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
-----------

Compiled a simple EXE which works.

But when I try to generate a simple CPP file from the template I get th
following response

-------------
C:\ADMB\examples\admb\simple>tpl2cpp simple
'cat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Error trying to create output file simple.cpp
C:\ADMB\examples\admb\simple>
--------------

I suspect the solution will be quite simple, but I just can't seem to find
the problem. Any ideas on further troubleshooting?

Regards,
Tony
