I am attempting to use the unattended installation capabilities in 1.7. I have an installed 1.7 to which I would like to add the curl package. The 1.7 documentation still says that setup does not support unattended installation. However, there are clearly a number of switches which can be seen from 'setup-1.7.exe --help' suggesting that this is happening.
$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 pwatson 1.7.0(0.214/5/3) 2009-10-03 14:33 i686 Cygwin I am using the following command. The caret is the CMD line continuation character. C:\Master\Cygwin1.7\setup-1.7.exe ^ --site http://mirrors.xmission.com ^ --root C:/cygwin1.7 ^ --local-package-dir C:\Master\Cygwin1.7 ^ --no-shortcuts ^ --no-startmenu ^ --no-desktop ^ --packages curl It appears that by not using --quite-mode, setup will go through the interactive process using the other settings specified. Is that correct? When I use the script above, it appears that the --site I specify is added to the list. However, using that entry always results in the failure message: Unable to get setup-2.ini from <http://mirrors.xmission.com> This happens for every --site, not just Xmission. Where can I find practical information about making this work, perhaps with example(s). Any other suggestions? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
