I just upgraded cygwin using the latest setup snapshot (2.340.2.3.2.3). Among the items upgraded were GCC mingw (20020817-4 to 20020817-5) and the cygwin dll (1.3.17 to 1.3.22-1)
While uninstalling packages a message box appeared with the title sh.exe, saying that cygwin1.dll could not be found in the path (which includes c:\cygwin\bin). At this time gcc-mingw was on the setup screen. I OK'ed, and the install proceeded as usual. $ ls /etc/preremove cygwin-doc-preremove.sh gcc-mingw.sh gcc-mingw-manifest.lst gcc-mingw.sh.done I intend roll back to my previous version of gcc-mingw, and then upgrade again to ensure the mingw install is clean. I would guess that the corollary to the following bugfix is required for the preremoves. > Robert Collins [Wed 26/03/03 11:45] > BUGFIXES: > Run post-install scripts in the order of dependencies, to ensure that > packages are fully setup before scripts from other, dependent packages > run. Other than this the upgrade went fine. Thanks, Dave. PS.
