Hi,
On a freshly installed windows xp pro sp2 machine the latest cygwin setup
crashes while installing
the X packages during a full install (more precisely it fails while running the
xorg-devel sh
script)
After painfully combing through the mailing list I found the recommended
solution was to install
everything except X and then run setup again to install just X.
Since most people are going to be doing a full install why not put the above
problem as a Caution
note on the main setup page? It would save a lot of people a lot of problems.
Also the latest release of Perl version 5.8.5 is broken on cygwin. The Win32
modules do not work
(possibly because they don't compile). Please use Perl version 5.8.2 which is
the previous
version.
Thanks,
~Emmanuel
