Hi!
I had a base cygwin installation* on WinXP-pro-SP2.
Then I downloaded the latest setup.exe,
selected xorg-x11-base and clicked NEXT...
During install I got an error dialog :
sh.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not
found. Re-instal
Hi!
I already have the old version (v1.5.25) of cygwin installed and I
wonder if is it safe (supported) to run v1.7.1 at the same time ?
So I can evaluate v1.7.1 and eventually remove the other.
I know the FAQ says multiple setups ov v1.7. are possible, but it does
not mentiob v1.5.

Hi!
I have few days old setup of cygwin on WinXP.
I also installed mintty.
I worked fine on one user account, which is a member of the
Administrators group.
Today I started mintty under another, not admin, user, and got this:

I have again LANG=SL in minTTY.

Hi!
I'm running an up to date version of cygwin (update a week ago or so)
on Windows XP Pro SP3.
Today I noticed the date command prints the wrong time:

Hi!
Just to note, the UTC printout is wrong too, so I assume this has
nothing to do with timezones.
European time is UTC+1 currently.

This prints he same time as with no TZ. (the difference being only the
"CE(S)T" string)

Hi!
I have a reasonably up to date cygwin installation (did an update a
week ago or so).

packages and minttty 0.8.1.
Then I selected subversion for install.
On "Next" I got a dialog saying that subversion depended on additional pa
Hi!
In Cygwin terminal (bash) I typed:
cmp <(echo echo1) <(echo echo2)
This does not print anything.
Not even with -b.
On Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 in VMWare) it reports that the inputs are different.
Bug?
Or am I missing something?
I just updated to latest version of cygwin, to be sure.

I tried it in zsh (32 bit cygwin) and there it works correctly:
$ cmp <(echo echo1) <(echo echo2)

So it seems the bug is in bash.

It is irrelevant how it is implemented. The command means "compare the
output of those two commands" and the only correct result is "they
differ on byte 5".
It is clearly a bug.

Hi!
If I start Setup.exe v2.774 on a PC where cygwin is already installed
and I select to install new package (not yet installed), then the
Pending view only shows this selected package and misses all the other
pending packages (they would be upgraded as a newer version is
available).

Hi!
The 32 bit version of lrzip 0.631-1 contains a bug that corrupts the
decompressed dat in some circumstances.
I reproduced the problem on 2 PCs (the md5sum of the broken output was
the same on both systems).
I seems to happen when the (de)compressed file size is bigger than the
available RAM
I tried in Ubuntu 32 bit (both the packaged lrzip and a self compiled
one) and there the problem does not happen, so it looks like either:
- bad lrzip in cygwin
- cygwin pipe issues?

Hi!
NOTE: This seems to be fixed in latest version.
Yesterday i was doing a 'find . -type f -print0' on my PC and noticed, that
one file was missing in the output.
Then I CD-ed into that folder and issued a ls -l, it printed:
total 0
In Windows Explorer I could see that there is one file in that
Thanks, the file had the temporary attribute.

Using cygwin64 with latest updates, I got this error after running

The following options are in effect for this COMPRESSION.

I tried the same, but on a local (NTFS) volume and there it completed

In the "Select Packages" part of the installer dialog, I selected in
the "View" dropdown menu "Not Installed" and then tried to scroll thru
the list using the mouse wheel.
But it does not scroll the package list, instead it changes the
selection in the mentioned drop down menu. Even after clicking
uffer of size 309956175 in flush_buffer

So in 32 bit, lrzip is seriously borken and should maybe be removed.
