Re: Problems downloading and installing the basic package

Hi, When you download the packages, put them on a cd, do you get problems with the directories created by setup? This has caused problems for me and others, FYI there's a thread either early this month or late last month that goes into this a bit more called "How to make setup.exe download everyth

Problems downloading and installing the basic package

Hi, I have Cygwin installed at work and I am now trying to install it at home. Since I have a slow connection there, what I usually do is download the package at work, put it on a Zip or a CD-ROM, and then install from disk at home. But I am having problems with the latest version of the ins

Since I am testing 021214 snapshot on my WinME installation, I wanted to report two things: 1. Huge speed improvement here as well! Configure scripts seem to run several times faster. 2. Configure never complete "finding the maximum length of command-line arguments" test (found in many configu

I've piped several GB for testing purposes (with cat | dd), and input and output are always the same, so I've yet to encounter that *possible* data loss. And nice'd up pipes finally behave like they are supposed to: they are a bit faster than their not nice'd up brothers, and not terribly slower l

W98/SE, just a timing comparison. As before: this snapshot is knocking spots off the current cygwin1.dll, at least in respect of this one benchtest: take a 80MB file 0.uue and time cat 0.uue | nice --1 dd of=/dev/null # current 1m12s time cat 0.uue | nice --1 dd of=/dev/null # snapshot

Duh!! I was just missign the "\" befor the ";", so it didn't work. The docs (man find) _do_ say something about the (pssible) need to escape the {} for the command to run, but it isn't so clear about the ";" - of course thinking a little about it, I guess the shell was taking the ; as a command se

Christopher, Thanks a lot. Does anyone on this list happen to have a port of RPM in their repositories? I would really like to use cygwin as an MKS Toolkit replacement and use rpm to create some amount of symmetry to my package installs. Any help you can give me in finding that package would

Thanks for the response Max. I tried running regedit. It pops up and then immediately closes itself, the same thing happens when I attempt to run msconfig. I found cygwin1.dll in the \windows directory. I also found a new exe - shiver.exe. A search of the web indicates that this is a trojan. --

BUG: Mounts to root directories causes setup.exe to crash

Greetings! The cygwin installer, setup.exe, crashes when trying to install files to a directory which has been mounted to the root directory of a drive. Setup.exe must of course look at the mounts recorded in the registry to install files in the correct places. However, when you mount a cygwin
