how to install software in cygwin without installer

[Liu Haibin]

Hi,

I'm using a product which integrates a cygwin. I want to install some
software like gcc in this cygwin. But the problem is this cygwin
doesn't have a installer. Any idea how I can install software in this
special cygwin?


Regards,
Haibin

error on installing new packages for the third-party cygwin

[Liu Haibin]

Hi,

I'm using a product which integrates cygwin. I wanted to install a new
package into this cygwin but after installation, I got an error
message when I ran the newly installed package.

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

I googled and found that it could be multiple cygwin1.dll's problem.
But I found only one cygwin1.dll on my computer, which is installed by
the product I'm using.

By the way, I just downloaded a setup.exe and changed the root
directory to the product's cygwin's root to install the new package.

Any idea what went wrong. Could it be that installing a new package
will install another cygwin1.dll?


Regards,
Haibin

base-files-mketc.sh hangs

[Liu Haibin]

Hi,

I got a problem after I reinstalled cygwin.
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh hangs there everytime I install
packages. And it will produce some log files like
setup.log.postinstallXa00156 under /var/log. I tried to run
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh in the shell and it ran ok. Any
idea what went wrong?

Yes, I do.

Those setup.log.postinstall files are all 0 byte. But I do remember I
saw one file with one sentence like child process died. I can't
remember it exactly. Unfortunately I deleted it.

Attached is the file. The cygwin is provided by a product I'm using. I
installed extra packages like gcc and upgraded the cygwin1.dll
(otherwise the new installed gcc won't work)

I tried changing base-files-mketc.sh to base-files-mketc.sh.done and
it started to hang at cygwin-doc.sh

I'm just doing some hacking on the product. I don't think Altera is
happy to know that I add extra packages in their cygwin ;-)

See the attachment. These are obtained after I appended done to the
base-files-mketc.sh file and it hung on two other files
xorg-x11-fenc.sh and xorg-x11-fnts.sh. But I recall that the error
message is the same as base-files-mketc.sh.

As you mentioned before, it's probably bash problem.

I have 3 entries in windows registry, which may be the cause of the problem.

Key Name:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions
Key Name:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin
Key Name:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2

Anyway, so far it's OK. I've not seen any bad effect of the problem.
