Hippo hippo hurray!

Strange. I wonder what's different about the hippo. I might have a
look at implementing a fallback from 0.5.5's ExtractIcon call to
0.5.4's LoadImage.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] NEW major release: cygwin-1.7.1-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi Cygwin friends and users,


after an exceptionally long time of development and testing we're proud
to release Cygwin's next major version 1.7.1.

This release is a big leap from the former Cygwin releases in a couple
of ways.  For the full list we urge you to read the new User's Guide,
which you can now find in the usual place:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/

There's a "What's new" section at

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html

The most important changes are:

- The mount table is no longer stored in the registry.  Rather, it's
  stored in /etc/fstab and /etc/fstab/$USER.  See
  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

- Support for pathnames beyond the former 260 chars border.  PATH_MAX
  is now set to 4096, but Cygwin will try to support even longer paths
  up to the Windows maxium of 32767 Unicode chars,

- Multiple Cygwin installations can co-exist on a machine, as long
  as you keep them separate.

- Support for IPv6.

- Default character set is now UTF-8, but other character sets are
  supported via an improved internationalization support.  See
  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html

- Support for new authentication methods which are supposed to improve
  changing the user context without password.

- No more support for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me.

==
IMPORTANT NOTES for those who upgrade from an existing Cygwin 1.5.25
installation:

You *must* upgrade to the latest setup.exe from our main web page at
http://cygwin.com/

Moving the mount table from the registry to /etc/fstab works only
automatically for system mount points.  User mount points have to be
taken care of manually, using the /usr/bin/copy-user-registry-fstab
script.  See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
==


Have fun,
Corinna

Re: 1.7.1: Mintty/bash window start: -bash: regtool: command not found

There's a regtool call in /etc/profile:

PRINTER="`regtool -q get '\user\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Window\Device' | sed 's/,.*$//'`"

I can reproduce this as follows:

- Leave a Cygwin session open.
- Run setup.exe
- Select reinstall for cygwin-1.7.1-1.
- Click next
- "in-use files detected" appears
- Click retry.

Strangely, 'retry' is accepted even without closing all Cygwin
processes. But it doesn't seem to make a difference to the outcome
anyway: regtool and also mount and ps aren't installed.

It can be fixed by reinstalling the cygwin package again, this time
without any Cygwin processes running.

setup 1.7.1 hangs on 000-cygwin-post-install.sh

[Frank Fesevur]

Hi,

I have problems installing 1.7.1.

I first tried to upgrade my existing 1.5 installation. All went as
expected until setup (2.673) comes to the end of the process where the
scripts are run. It tries to run /etc/postinstall/
000-cygwin-post-install.sh but this doesn't seem to do anything. After
about 5 minutes I canceled the dialog, but that leaves three instances
of bash.exe running.

I also tried a clean installation by deleting the complete c:\cygwin
tree, deleting all related registry entries I could find and running
the setup again. Same result.

With this clean installation I only tried to install the basic
environment so continuously pressing Next, without selecting any
additional packages.

Regards,
Frank

Works fine for me.  You should examine the /var/log/setup.log and
/var/log/setup.log.full files if you can find any hint.

Don't understand why there is a "couldn't allocate heap". The system
run fine with more the 800mb memory available and not much
applications running.

I forgot the mention that I run Windows XP.

That has usually nothing to do with the RAM availbale in your computer.

Works for me on XP as well.

Personally I'm running MSFT Security Essentials with real-time protection
turned on on that machine and it works still as expected.

HEADSUP: Check mirror carefully when updating your 1.7 installation

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi,

I just found an unfortunate side-effect of the move of the Cygwin 1.7
release area.  If you use the new setup.exe for Cygwin 1.7 on a mirror
which hasn't catched up with the update yet, you are in danger to
overwrite your 1.7 installation with a Cygwin 1.5.25-based installation.

Be *VERY* careful to check the packages setup tries to update.  If you
see that it tries to "update" your Cygwin from 1.7.0-68 to 1.5.25-15,
then CANCEL setup.exe IMMEDIATELY and try another mirror.

Hopefully this negative side-effect has been rectified by the mirror
updates within the next 24 hours.

No, I don't run any of the mentioned applications. I tried disabling
Kasperky, without any luck. Tried closing all other application, still
without luck.

If a fallback to LoadImage is added, keep in mind that LoadImage will
work with .ico files only.  AFAIK the issue with the hippo.ico file
had something to do with the compression of the PNG file used to
create the .ico file and the the fact that Vista is generally anal
retentive regarding compressed files.  As a result, as Chuck found,
'hiding' the icon in a DLL bypassed Vista's qualms about accessing an
icon that contained a compressed image.

I saw something similar a while back. I "fixed" it by doing the following:

1) launch an ash shell from a cmd window
2) run rebaseall (google for more instructions on this).
3) re-run setup (this will attempt again to run any uncompleted
postinstall scripts from the previous attempt).

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: arpack-96-2

[Marco Atzeri]

New versions 96-2 of

arpack (source) / libarpack-devel / libarpack0

for cygwin-1.7 are available in the Cygwin distribution:

CHANGES
Updated to avoid a well known sigsev error
http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2006-November/001230.html

DESCRIPTION
ARPACK is a collection of Fortran77 subroutines designed to solve large
scale eigenvalue problems.

ARPACK software is capable of solving large scale symmetric,
nonsymmetric, and generalized eigenproblems from significant
application areas. The software is designed to compute a few (k)
eigenvalues with user specified features such as those of largest
real part or largest magnitude. Storage requirements are on the order
of n*k locations. No auxiliary storage is required. A set of Schur
basis vectors for the desired k-dimensional eigen-space is computed
which is numerically orthogonal to working precision. Numerically
accurate eigenvectors are available on request.

Does purchasing the commercial licensed version from RH help development? We
could (don't know how much it is) be interested in doing that.

Re: 1.7.0-51: Problem using ssh public/private key authentication

[XYM]

Hello,

I have encountered same problem after upgrading to 1.7.x. First to say that
I'm not so familiar with all of that.

I was running a ssh-server and connect with Putty to my server using a
tunnel. Everything works fine till today. After upgrading to 1.7.x and
trying to connect to my server I get the following message:


2 [main] -bash 3776 C:\CygWin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
dynamically determine load address for 'WSAGetLastError' (handle
0x), Win32 error 126

Tried to set up new sshd but no change.

Any ideas?

Happy X-Mas. :)

Shouldn't you get a warning when you use a mirror that is no longer listed?

According to the source, you should see this message:

  One or more mirrors you have selected is/are not on the
  list of official Cygwin mirrors any more.
  It/They may be out of date or missing some packages.
  This affects the following mirror(s):

I did get that message on one machine, which I think was set to the
tu-dresden mirror, but not on another a few hours later that was set
to www.mirrorservice.org. The latter looked like it was going to
downgrade to 1.5 in the 'partial' package view. I didn't press Next to
try.

Thanks!  I re-enabled my donation button.  I had some trouble due to too
many and too big donations.  I have to keep track and pay taxes for
them.

Therefore, in future I'd prefer small, symbolic donations.  After all,
it's the thought which counts, not the money.  Actually, I'm more happy
about a 5 bucks donation from somebody who's really happy with Cygwin,
than with a 200 bucks donation from somebody who just want to read the
name of his or her company on the donations page.

I didn't get this message.  I was using a local mirror which isn't
listed on the mirrors page.  Probably that was the reason.

Thanks for this generous offer.

There's no way to buy the commercial version since it's downloadable for
free just like the net distro.  You can purchase a buyout license, user
support, or developer support, see
http://www.redhat.com/services/custom/cygwin/.

So far there's no commercial version derived from 1.7.  The intention is
to wait a couple of weeks until the dust settled around the 1.7 release
and then move over at one point in the first quarter of 2010.

Having said that, a small user support contract would certainly help
development since that's basically how my job is paid.  If your company
is really interested to do that, please feel free to contact our team
via the web form at http://www.redhat.com/services/custom/contact.html

Indeed it is.  As maintainer of the gold star page, I've taken the liberty of
awarding three gold stars each to Christopher and Corinna for releasing Cygwin
1.7.

Normally it's Christopher and Corinna who award gold stars to us, the community,
but this time it's our turn to recognize their work.  It's been a long effort
from which all Cygwin users (well, except for the ones still on Win9x :) will
benefit.

mirrorservice.org is actually listed as being up-to-date so if that really
was happening then it looks like something else is going on.

Yes.  I noticed that and thanks for posting the message about it.  I
have globally denied access to my mirror for the moment until
unscheduled update is done.  Once the update has completed it will be
opened up again so if you are getting forbidden errors on it then you
know why.

"mount -a" has no effect on the cygdrive prefix

[Karl M]

Hi All...
 
With the last 1.7.0 version and with a clean 1.7.1 install on an XP Pro SP3 
machine,
if I edit my fstab to change my cygdrive prefix and then do a "mount -a", my 
mounts
as shown by the mount command or catting mtab are not updated. I only tried it 
with
the cygdrive prefix, not with other mounts.
 
How soon should we start the "Way back in the Cygwin 1.7.0 days, things were 
much..."
musings?
 
Thanks to all that made 1.7.1 with its new gcc, X11 and more POSIXy world 
possible.
What a great Christmas present...great new free software.
 
Thanks,
 
...Karl

Questions about gnu debug

[Liming]

I read the FAQ, but still very confused, please help.

1.
I have a project written by C++, I want to debug it under Cygwin. I
know I can use g++ -g, but I think this is for a single .cpp file. How
to debug a whole Project? Anyway to debug the project inside a windows like 
editor?

2. The gnu C++ under Cygwin only support 32 bit windowss vista or 7. Is that 
right? Thanks!

If people are really able to use out-of-date mirrors without getting a
warning then perhaps one of our vast pool of setup.exe developers would
be interested in figuring out why?

Well I use my own mirror too so I wanted to get it up to date anyways.
 The warning does come up when the mirror is not on the list so that
is not the issue.  I think it is very possible for someone to click
yes anyways and end up downgrading their install by accident.

Are you saying that you actually *saw* the message?  In that case, you
ignore the warning at your peril.

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that people do stupid things.  I do read the
Cygwin mailing list, after all.

2009/12/23 Lee D. Rothstein:
  

Just installed 1.7.1.  Bravo, again.

Everything seems to be working okay, but every time I start up a Mintty/Bash
window I get the following
error message.

-bash: regtool: command not found

Shortcut is:

C:\_0\bin\mintty.exe --icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 -

'regtool' does not appear in my profile nor my bashrc.

Huh?



There's a regtool call in /etc/profile:

PRINTER="`regtool -q get '\user\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Window\Device' | sed 's/,.*$//'`"

I can reproduce this as follows:

- Leave a Cygwin session open.
- Run setup.exe
- Select reinstall for cygwin-1.7.1-1.
- Click next
- "in-use files detected" appears
- Click retry.

Strangely, 'retry' is accepted even without closing all Cygwin
processes. But it doesn't seem to make a difference to the outcome
anyway: regtool and also mount and ps aren't installed.

It can be fixed by reinstalling the cygwin package again, this time
without any Cygwin processes running.

  

Thanks, Andy, this fixed the sucker! And too, regtool did get installed.

Is this a setup bug?

Incorrect permissions on mount point when user does not have permission to access mounted directory

[Chris January]

Hello,



I have drive I: mounted at /backup but the ACLs deny access to anyone not

in the Administrators group. I am in the Administrators group, but running

Windows 7 so I can only access the drive if I am running with elevated

privileges. If I run Cygwin without elevated privileges and type ls -l

/backup, Cygwin shows the following:



$ ls -l /backup

-rw-r--r-- 1 Chris None 0 2006-12-01 00:00 /backup



i.e. Cygwin incorrectly reports the mount point is a regular file and not

a directory.



$ mount

C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)

C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)

C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)

I: on /backup type unknown (binary,noacl)

C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

Upgrade from 1.5.25 to 1.7.1 fails.

[Harry G McGavran Jr]

Updates using 1.5.25 have always worked, so I had
assumed my setup configuration files had managed
to stay intact.

But, after reading the new User Guide I tried
the new setup.exe and after about the third
package download from ftp://mirrors.kernel.org
I got:

Can't open
G:/installs/cygwin/packages/ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwi
n%2f/release/GNOME/_obsolete/atk/atk-1.26.0-1.tar.bz2.tmp
for writing.

and when I click OK on that, setup just exits.

There is no _obsolete subdirectory in that tree.

What does one do now???

Yes.  I made sure to update the mirror before the setup program had at
it for sure.  I seem to have a glitch though in my setup so I am going
to try and do a clean (and basic) 1.7.1 before posting a separate
message concerning it.

Anyways access was restored as soon as I got done and I can see it was
already added back anyways. ;)

Hi Liming,
If you have a project with multiple C++ files, you can compile each
C++ file with "g++ -g" into an object file (usually with .o suffix).
Then you can link the object files together with ... "g++ -g", like
this:

g++ -g -o executable_name  a.o b.o ...

Then you have an executable with debug info, which you can load with gdb.

If you used Windows IDEs, GDB needs time to get used to. It has an
extensive manual (search for "Debugging with GDB").

There are many GDB front-ends. I've been using ddd successfully. It
has a Cygwin package, I think (under Devel).

Emacs has gdb integration. It is a very powerful editor, but takes a
long time to learn.

Anther possibility is Eclipse (it has GDB integration too, but a bit
of an overkill, really). But it's fiddly to set up because it is a
Windows program and sometimes paths have to be translated between
Windows format and Cygwin.

Hope this helps,
Csaba

setup version 1.7.1-1 failure

[Collin Monahan]

I tried to upgrade to the 1.7.1-1 version on Windows 7 Home 64bit. Toward the 
end of the process I had to click through several modal dialogs which say:

The procedure entry point stpcpy could not be located in the dynamic link 
library cygwin1.dll.

Although I'm not too familiar with the way Cygwin setup works, that box seemed 
to be raised on configuration of several packages.

Then, following setup completion, when I click on cygwin.bat, I get the same 
message, and the Cygwin window closes without offering a prompt.

I was previously using one of the 1.5 versions on the same system without a 
problem.

thanks
Collin Monahan

On the home page for cygwin.com, these is a broken link at:

Latest Cygwin DLL release version is

I'm cleaning up my 1.5 distro.  Boy I didn't tkink that day would come!
Good work to all you developers that contributed to this undertaking!

There is no _obsolete subdirectory in that tree.

What does one do now???


Try again.  ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/release/GNOME/ shows

That sounds like you have more than one version of cygwin1.dll on your
system.

Re: Upgrade from 1.5.25 to 1.7.1 fails.

[Harry G McGavran Jr]

After the try again suggestion failing, I cd'd to
G:/installs/cygwin/packages/ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwi
n%2f/release
and did a mkdir -p GNOME/_obsolete/atk.

Then I tried setup again, and it got past that package and came
to another where it claimed it couldn't write to base-cygwin.

So I did a mkdir base-cygwin and tried again.

Then it got to where it claimed it couldn't write to base-files,
so I did a mkdir base-files.

Then it got to where it claimed it couldn't write to base-passwd,
so I decided this is getting very very old.
Something isn't right.  Yet, 1.5.25 never had such troubles
in this directory

The error above is a client side error, you re-installed the server
which is not the problem.

In fact is not even a client side error, is bash complaining after you
logged in, the error code means "The specified module could not be
found." so it looks like bash is not finding all its libraries... but I
could be wrong, never seen an error message like that.

OK, you're getting nowhere fast.  I don't see the file sizes being created as
anything but 0.  So here are a few questions:

  1. Can you create a file in any of these directories yourself?
  2. Is this a local or network drive?
  3. Does it work better if you create a new, local directory to download into?
  4. What if you used http instead of ftp?

I have no problem ssh'ing to the `git' host, btw.


I went back to 1.5.25-15 and git works again (of course, it's an older
version of git, 1.6.1.2).



I tried to install 1.6.1.2 on 1.7.1, but it didn't work.  The clone
complained that the index-pack program was missing.  I did the usual

  ./configure && make && make install

so I'm not sure what else to try.



I still have cygwin 1.7.1 installed on a Windows 7 machine, so I can
try 1.6.1.2 if someone can help me get it installed properly.


Since Windows 7 isn't supported with 1.5, I really need to figure this
out.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

  complained that the index-pack program was missing.  I did the usual

./configure && make && make install

  so I'm not sure what else to try.


I copied git-index-pack.exe from the build directory to
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/ and now 1.6.1.2 behaves the same as the
cygwin-built git:

  la...@hobart256 ~
  $ git clone git:/repo/git/acl acl

  remote: Counting objects: 9205, done.
  remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3300/3300), done.
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  fatal: early EOFs:  32% (2946/9205)
  fatal: index-pack failed

  la...@hobart256 ~


So, it would seem that something in cygwin, not git, has made this
fail, since git 1.6.1.2 is working for me with cygwin 1.5.25.

Could you move the dialog, I would like to see which part of the setup it is in.

I think i've gotten past it.  I found and renamed the infrarecorder installed
C:\Program Files\InfraRecorder\cdrtools  cygwin1.dll and the cygwin /bin/cygwin1.dll. Re-ran setup marked to 
reinstall cygwin and it installed an updated cygwin1.dll.

Updating the Wikipedia entry for Cygwin

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Does anyone on the list keep an eye on the Wikipedia entry for Cygwin?

It is where you would expect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin for
the English Wikipedia.

It has the current version as "1.5.25-15 / 14 June 2008".

Someone with a better understanding of the fundamental changes may
want to update the entry to reflect the release of version 1.7.

Thanks.

-Jason

Yes, that fixed it.  I'd sure like to be able to keep my package
directory on the FAT32 partition.  Is there any chance that
will ever work again?  It worked fine with 1.5.25.

Two questions

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
With the release of version 1.7.1 I decided to install it, and had a
few issues with the beta one.

I decided to install it into its own folder, cygwin171.

Here are the two questions:
How do I move the normally running services that Cygwin supplies from
the regular folder to my new one?

Following that, how do I remove the old folder?

Here's the thing, Windows insists that I am the Administrator on this
laptop. Everything that happened with regards to Cygwin seems to
suggest that is not the case.

And in this case the profile for Cygwin was installed while running
the launcher as administrator.

Please note, I have been away from Cygwin for some years, perhaps as
much seven years.

And "setup.exe" has undergone allot of work since the 1.5.25 days too.
AFAIK, no one was consciously disabling FAT32 drives for "setup.exe" so
in that respect, I would expect that this could be rectified.  But Cygwin
itself is more and more restricted by the lack of permissions on FAT
and FAT32 partitions, so there is an argument to be made for not
spending allot of time maintaining these less capable formats in
"setup.exe" either.  That said, I'm sure your report and the information
you've provided while narrowing this down with me will be helpful in
looking at the problem.  And I'm sure any patch that addresses it
will get serious attention. I can't say that I'll be the one providing
such a patch but if I get some time, I will look into it.  That statement
shouldn't stop someone else from doing the same though. :-)

Thanks again for helping track down the specifics here.

Re-installed cygwin 1.7 but still getting error running Perl

[Wardman_Michael]

Hi all

I am getting this error when I try to run Perl

$ perl -v
/usr/bin/perl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory


I originally tried to used setup.exe to upgrade my 1.5.x cygwin to 1.7.x
and things seemed to be quite broken.

So, I renamed c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin.orig and started from scratch. 

Now I'm unable to run Perl :-(

Does anyone have any idea how to diagnose what's going wrong?

Thanks
~ Michael

A question about setup.exe

[Paul McFerrin]

I did the upgrade to 1.7.1-1 without any problems.  During the remainder 
of the day, I accidentally blew away my installation of 1.7.1-1.  I 
restored my installation from a backup several days old (1.7.0-65).  Now 
I'm trying to upgrade again.


Now the questions I have are:
When I run setup again, it downloads/installes everything in under a 
minute instead of the hour previously.  How can I "force" all of my 
installed packages obsolete to force a reload?  I hate to spend all that 
time checking the 200+ boxes on the packages page?

I suspect you have a cygwin process still running, and cygncurses-8.dll
is in use.  Now, this /should/ cause a popup dialog telling you about
that -- maybe the dialog is hidden?

File permissions on Vista

[Mark Stewart]

I saw Corinna Vinschen's posting

http://lists-archives.org/cygwin/30817-file-permission-hassles-on-vista.html


 Vista, these attributes give the file a 'shared' property, which adds a
 shared file overlay on the GUI icons. If you try to manipulate files from
 the Windows GUI, things become VERY slow. It can take minutes just to move


Sorry, I can't reproduce this.


I got this problem when I created a TAR file (on a Windows XP machine), 
and un-TARed it on Vista.  I'm glad I found your helpful posting so I 
can fix my /etc/passwd before I un-TAR some other TARs!

Thanks. Csaba,

I still not so clear about gdb, I am usually use microsoft Visual Studio

2. For ddd, Emacs, Eclipse
Are they IDC with debug inside and can set break point? I just wondering if

Problems with SSHD service partially resolved (Other problem not resolved.)

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Okay, I've found and fixed the locations for the Windows Service
entries concerning my new location for Cygwin.

It does indeed confirm that the Cygwin service agent is indeed found
at my new directory.

But the SSHD service doesn't start as expected, it reports the same
issues found back in November, covering the 21 to the 23rd.

In case you are curious Larry, the first thing that I did when this
installation was completed I then ran the scripts for the SSH services
both host and client. And of course the regular service agent for
Cygwin.

My other problems are the typically idiotic Windows problems
concerning removing a directory (or a directory of directories). The
system refuses to believe that I have the rights to remove that
directory.

upgrade to 1.7 experience ; Cygwin.bat doesn't find home directory

[Myron Flickner]

I just upgraded my first XP Pro machine from 1.5 to 1.7 - a couple of minor 
issues

Part of the post-install failed with many popup dialogs  - "The procedure entry 
point __ctype_ptr__ could not be located in the dynamic link library 
cygwin1.dll".  

After a reboot bash wouldn't start  - same error message.  Reinstalling the 
base package cleared this issue up. 

Cygwin.bat doesn't find my home directory (which is a sym link) rathe it prints 
a message telling me that there isn't a ./.bashrc in /usr/bin.   Looks like 
Cygwin.bat is identical between 1.5 and 1.7 but the behavior is different.I 
thought this might be related to the mount point changes - but running 
copy-user-registry-fstab didn't change anything.I did notice that this 
script uses $USER  which isn't set for me.   I set it and re-ran the script but 
I don't see any difference.I never did see a /etc/fstab.d/$USER directory - 
but I don't have user mount points on this machine.  I also created a none sym 
link home directory but that didn't help either. 

Are other folks seeing this behavior ?   Any suggestions ?

How to install Legacy from scratch?

[Fergus]

Thanks for great new version.

1.7 uses setup.ini, draws from release/, uses setup.exe v.2.673.
1.5 uses setup-legacy.ini, draws from release-legacy/, uses setup.exe 
v.2.673 (i.e. the same version as 1.7).


My question is: how does a user install 1.5 from scratch (if desired or 
needed e.g. old faithful W98SE machine)?


One way is to download setup.exe, setup-legacy.ini and the entire 
release-legacy/*, change the .ini filename to setup.ini and then run 
setup.exe as a local install.


(Actually I haven't tried this yet, will one additionally have to rename 
the directory release-legacy/ to release/ and change all instances of 
release-legacy/ where they occur in the .ini file to release/? I guess 
it depends what setup.exe is expecting and whether the term 
release-legacy will trip it up.)


But how to manage a web install?

Thanks.

Fergus

No, 1.5 you uses http://www.cygwin.com/setup-legacy.exe

Errors like this are indicative of more than one cygwin1.dll on your
system.

See:

>Problem reports:   http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Running cygcheck may find the offending copy of cygwin1.dll.  If it doesn't
then you will have to hunt it down yourself.

Uh, huh?

If you want to install 1.5 then run setup-legacy.exe.  There shouldn't
be any mystery here.  And, you certainly don't want to play games with
renaming files because that's not going to work.

It wouldn't need to download the packages again, because they should
still be stored in setup.exe's local package directory. So it only
needs to do the install.

> How can I "force" all of my installed
> packages obsolete to force a reload?

If the backup and restore went correctly, you shouldn't need to,
because the install state of all packages is stored in the cygwin
directory, in /etc/setup. You can see which packages are going to be
upgraded by switching to the "Partial" view on setup.exe's package
selection screen.

Re: upgrade to 1.7 experience ; Cygwin.bat doesn't find home directory

It appears that bash not finding the home directory is caused by a missing
