All, I am running cygwin at work and at home. As I need to "customize" cygwin for each environment (i.e., one for work, one for home) I found a way to build "custom" packages, that I would like to integrate into my setup.
Such customizations include: - For ** my ** environments - remove the space in the "passwd" files for a user name (I have posted messages on this list in the past regarding a more primitive version) - Adding Win32 CPAN support to perl (I have posted messages on this list in the past regarding patches) - I ** NEEDED ** a "-u" flag to jar (the cygwin versions says it is unsupported), so build a "wrapper" script to a "Windows" version (uses cygpath to do cygwin/Windows file name conversions) etc. To integrate these into my setup, I found information on this list regarding "upset", setup.hints etc. I have somewhat successfully got the setup.ini file working. However, my postinstall script is malfunctioning and I am trying to figure out how to debug it. When I run it ** AFTER ** cygwin has installed (not using my integration) the script works fine. How can I capture the output to a log file (via the setup) mechanism? I found these messages, but they haven't helped me too much. Any ideas? http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00955.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg00379.html _________________________________________ Alan Miles ICQ#: 171006836 More ways to contact me: http://wwp.icq.com/171006836 _________________________________________ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
