I think the real reason is that setup has downloaded and installed cygwin1.dll, and is using it when running the post-install scripts. There is no statically linked cygwin library in setup.exe. > So the question still remains how do I gain access to a version of > setup.exe with the fork fix that will allow me to not only initialize > my Cygwin distribution for Wine without the fork abort, but also > subsequently update it to install all components of Cygwin that I > need? If the procedure in [1] is too complicated, you will have to wait for a new cygwin package to be released.
