misc basic installation problems with cygwin
Hi - I've seen this twice now, and I can't find a hint in the FAQ, and searching the newsgroups available to me didn't turn up something that seemed related, so I hope this list is appropriate for asking such questions ... if not, I would appreciate a pointer to "the right thing to do". On WinXP Pro, the installation leaves all file permissions to "-+". Is that the way it should be - probably not ?? Anyway, nothing worked. After I opened file permissions a little and re-ran the postinstall scripts, some things started working. However, there are still many problems. Like, the terminal type 'cygwin' is unknown. Or, the 'man' command fails with: groff: can't find `DESC' file groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' Is there some documentation that I've just not stumbled across that would tell me what I forgot, or did incorrectly ?

Perhaps there's a compiler switch that I missed? Have you considered the registry? Installing Cygwin updates the registry - it's where the mount points are recorded.

It's only the uid which is different then, this has been introduced
long ago to minimize the chance for collision between local and domain
account ids. Other than that, -l and -d are practically the same on a
domain controller.

(newbie) "Unable to load setup.ini..." error
Hi, I read the archives and google before and I have no problems with trailing blanks or trailing slashes. I also deleted last-mirror file. I have several packages I put on my local webserver. I added this url during setup (2.416), and packages shows up. Then I uploaded the directory to my ISP. When I add this url during my setup, I always get the message "unable to load setup.ini...". I tried from another computer, same result (W2000 and XP). I verified that setup.ini was not corruped. I also tried setup.ini with unix and dos line endings. My ISP is french Wanadoo (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/t.b/cygwin) . I am not able to test with another one.

IMO that's a good "temporary thing", yes. :-)

$ info bash # bash shell info pages (hypertext)
(some man pages are updated less requently than info pages)
$ info find
$ info xargs
In most cases you can replace "info" with "man" - but note that man pages
often are less frequently updated.
If
$ type -a
says "Internal command" then
$ help
usually tells more.
Though you might find it easier to find relevant parts of the text by using
less's "/" key to search for interesting text in the _man_ pages (this
works in the info pages too, but is less succesful IMO)

Sorry for beeing vague, but I have a recollection of seeing a posting by
Igor, or maybe Corinna, about creating the cygwin root folder with some
specific permissions PRIOR to running setup.exe a while back...
Why don't you try to google on
"site:cygwin.com +setup +perm +before +install +Igor"
or some such, it might turn up that particular posting... I wonder if it
wasn't Igor who wrote about it.

i.e.
$ mount -m >mounts.bat
# on the dev. machine
# Assuming mount.exe and mounts.bat from cygwin in PATH
C:\> mounts.bat
# on the user machine
May be a good idea to
- minimize mounts.bat
- NOT use "-s" mount flag.
(-s == for all users, privilege problems unless running as admin)
- adjust mounts.bat for drive letters on the user machine.
(hmm... is there a "sed" for MSDOS? Installation problem.)

I take your point - and indeed I almost posted a suggestion to use mount alone. But the original poster sounded as though he knew what he was doing, and in this *particular* case, where the key to his problem was to find what in the environment had been changed by the Cygwin install, a quick dive into the registry looks to be the best test. It's what I would have done - and bear in mind also that it may not be mount points - doesn't Cygwin1.dll also look at the registry for application-specific CYGWIN settings? In mitigation, I did say *temporarily* rename. I guess I should also have said: Children, don't do this at home unless you know *exactly* what you are doing. CGF is absolutely right to point out that to manipulate mount points the mount command is the right way to go. and Hannu has posted an example. Also, it's not unlikely (I understand, and hope) that the mount point info will one day be moved out of the registry. But I still stand by my original suggestion, for experts only, to determine if it is a registry setting added or changed by the installation of Cygwin which was causing the problem. -- Cliff -- 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/

This is the argument that people often make when I go into the "don't use the registry" litany but I find it unlikely in the extreme that someone would just "forget" that they'd modified the registry at one point, especially when the someone isn't really sure if just copying cygwin to the new machine should be sufficient. The idea that this may be mount point related is a good one but none of the other program settings in the registry should have this kind of effect on a program. cgf -- 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/
