I found a bunch of stalled processes running "ash", "bash" and "sh".
I killed them all and rebooted for good measure. :-) When I ran
setup.exe again, it gets as far as running /etc/postinstall/gnugo.sh
and then stalls. The environment seems to be more-or-less working.
I've enclosed the output of cygcheck -c , cygcheck -s and
/var/log/setup.log.full.
Am I good to go at this point, or is there still something that's a
little off?
'hicolor-icon-theme' reports itself as incomplete but otherwise the
packages themselves are there. Postinstall scripts have a purpose
so to the extent that you haven't run them, you may see some issues
with your environment. I'd recommend trying two things that might
help:
1. Remove '/', '/usr/lib', and '/usr/bin' as binary and rerun
'setup.exe'. See 'man mount' and the '-f' and '-b' flags
for more details.
2. With or without the above, go to the '/etc/postinstall' directory
and run any scripts there that don't have the 'done' suffix.
Once they have all run successfully, move them to the script
name plus the 'done' suffix.
Hopefully one of these two procedures will get all your postinstall
scripts to run. If that's true, you're good to go.
I remounted '/', '/usr/lib' and '/usr/bin' as binary (I assume you meant
"remount" rather than "remove"?) and reran setup.exe. It ran all the way
to completion w/o any complaints, so I think I'm in pretty good shape.
Yes, remount. Sorry about that. My proofreading wasn't too good this
afternoon.
Cygcheck looks OK to me. It's not immediately obvious to me why the
text mounts got in the way here but I'm glad it fixed it. And I fear
other similar reports!
I'm enclosing the output of 'cygcheck -svr > cygcheck.out'.
In the process of messing around w/ the scripts in /etc/postinstall I
ran into a problem w/ find. In an attempt to find scripts where both the
'.sh' and the '.sh.done' versions existed I typed the command:
find . -name "*.sh" -exec ls \{\}.done \;
This caused some strange error messages, and left some stalled processes
running 'find' behind. (I can't run this command now because the
successful run of setup.exe cleaned them all up, but here's the output
of a similar use of '-exec' in find:
$ find . -name "*.sh.done" -exec ls \{\} \;
197 [main] find 16764 fhandler_dev_zero::fixup_mmap_after_fork:
requested 0x
430000 != 0x0 mem alloc base 0x430000, state 0x2000, size 1040384, Win32

87
543 [main] find 16764 c:\cygwin\bin\find.exe: *** fatal error -
c:\cygwin\bi
n\find.exe: *** recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed
It takes quite a long time to get a command prompt back after these
error messages, and it leaves behing a stalled process.
Is this releated somehow to my many failed attempts to run setup.exe, or
is it a know problem w/ find?
Could be a rebase issue. Try installing the package, read the README, and
follow the instructions for rebasing your system.
