Hi, I recently tried newly install Cygwin 2.6.1 on 32-bit Windows 10.
I did: Stop old cygwin cd c:\ ren cygwin cygwin.old Run setup-x86.exe for full install excluding *x86_64* modulues. However, the post install didn't seem to end. At that time, ps on mintty showed a lot of defunct perl processes. Then I tried replacing /usr/bin/perl.exe with the one I built from the source one and a half years ago. cd /usr/bin mv perl.exe perl.exe.orig ln -s /cygdrive/c/cygwin.old/usr/local/bin/perl.exe . It did the trick! Now new cygwin is running with no problem! I don't know what yielded the result. The file sizes of them very differ because 5.22.3 was srtipped but 5.22.0 wasn't: /usr/bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 yamaoka None 12829 Jan 15 12:54 perl.exe.orig* -rwxr-xr-x 1 yamaoka None 12829 Jan 15 12:54 perl5.22.3.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin.old/usr/local/bin -rwxr-xr-x 2 yamaoka None 71801 Oct 21 2015 perl.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 2 yamaoka None 71801 Oct 21 2015 perl5.22.0.exe* But I cannot believe strip broke it. cygcheck for them didn't show meaningful difference. It's a mystery.
