I've been working with the setup code, and have discovered some bugs in the current (just updated) CVS version.
I'm posting a patch here for comments, whilst I join cygwin-patches, and
study the Contributing instructions.
The patch does the following:
BugFix: io_stream::mkpath_p(isadir, path) misuse
mkpath_p is supposed to take a path with either a file:// or a cygfile://
prefix, but it is fed a path with no prefix in some places. The patch adds a
file:// prefix where needed.
This was causing some directories not to be created, including the Cygwin
directory in the start menu.
BugFix: add backslash call to make_link, in desktop.cc
This was causing the start menu shortcut to be called
'Programs/Cygwin/Cygwin Bash Shell' instead of being in the correct
directory structure
Feature Addition: Use files /etc/setup/inhibit-{startmenu,desktop}-icon to
remeber user de-selection of the create icon checkboxes on the last page of
setup.
Max.
