Unable to install X on 64-bit Windows 7 Premium

Unable to install X on 64-bit Windows 7 Premium

[Bob Kline]

  I finally had to replace my ancient Windows XP box, and ended up with 
a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit system.  If I run setup.exe to install a 
fresh cygwin, it succeeds as long as I don't touch the X11 set, leaving 
it at Default (which is to say, don't install anything in the set).  If 
I change Default to Install for X11, I get a dialog box which says:

Cygwin Setup - Running postinstall scripts
Postinstall script errors
     The following errors occured executing postinstall scripts
Package: gcc4-core
     gcc4-core.sh exit code 126
Package: libglade2.0_0
     libglade2.0.sh exit code 2
Package: xinit
     xinit.sh exit code 8
Package: No package
     gcc4-core.sh exit code 126
     libglade2.0.sh exit code 2
     xinit.sh exit code 8

When I click Next, I get an error message saying the installation won't 
work properly unless I correct the failures which occurred, and tells me 
to look in the log file.  The log file doesn't have anything beyond what 
appears in the dialog box as far as the errors are concerned, and 
there's no clue anywhere telling me how I'm supposed to go about 
correcting the errors.  I've tried many times, clearing away the 
c:\cygwin tree each time and starting fresh (don't know about the 
registry, though: there isn't an uninstaller for cygwin in the 
add/remove programs database).  I've googled, but haven't found anything 
I could use to get past these failures.

Versions:
cygwin installer, version 2.708
gcc4-core, version 4.3.4-3
libglade2.0_0, version 2.6.4-1
xinit, version 1.2.1-1

I'm running the setup program as administrator.  I downloaded it 
multiple times to make sure I wasn't working a corrupted installer.

Could I please have some assistance figuring out how to correct the 
errors?  What other information do I need to supply?

Thanks!

This one is already reported at [1], and the workaround given there,i.e.

chmod 755 /usr/sbin/fix-libtool-scripts-for-latest-gcc-runtimes.sh

and then run /etc/postinstall/gcc4-core.sh manually should work.

I'm a bit surprised that gcc4 is a dependency of X.

Thanks for reporting these problems.

Setup has only recently started recording problems with postinstall scripts, 
previously it would silently ignore failures.

Hmm... it seems that the output from these failing commands is only captured 
in setup.log.full, not setup.log, so I think that messagebox needs fixing.

You can look there, or run these scripts manually (they can be found in 
/etc/postinstall) and post the errors reported by those scripts so we can fix 
the problems.

Thanks for your reply.  I had seen that report, but was dismayed to see 
that the poster had received no response to his questions about whether 
the workaround really solved the problem or had just suppressed a 
symptom, leaving his system in a state which was causing subsequent 
installation actions (and other programs) to fail.

I will (may take a few days, as we're about to take our daughter down to 
college).  Thanks again.

Thanks for the data point, Jim.  The two possible explanations that come 
to mind for the difference in results between your system and mine are 
(a) there's some difference in the way Win 7 Pro and Win 7 Premium 
behave which accounts for the failure on Premium; or (b) you installed 
at an earlier point in time, when something was different about the 
Cygwin packages or the Windows patches or both.  I'm inclined to think 
(b) is more likely.  Jon pointed out earlier in this thread that the 
visible reporting of postinstall failures is a recent change, so perhaps 
the installation failures occurred on your system as well, but the 
installer didn't bother to report them.  I'll see what I can learn about 
theory (a) by experimenting with a virtual Win 7 Pro system.

and since all xinit.sh does is run mkshortcut to create a start menu shortcut, 
I'd guess this is the same issue as [1], assuming we don't have a cygutils 
release with that fixed yet.

Right.  As for the third problem (with libglade), the error output is

add command failed
could not open /etc/xml/catalog for saving

Took a peek and saw that /etc/xml had not been created.  So I created 
the directory and ran libglade2.0.sh again, reduced the error output to 
simply

add command failed

and when I checked for /etc/xml/catalog is saw that it had been created, 
but that it was empty.  So I did some more googling, and found [1].  By 
adding --create to the script (and first removing the empty 
/etc/xml/catalog file) I was able to get the script to succeed.  
Unsettling that the libglade problem still hasn't been fixed after 
almost a couple of years, but at least I have (I think) "fixed" all 
three of the problems reported by the installer.

As for the theories about the differences in results between Jim 
Reisert's Win 7 Pro machine and my Win 7 Premium box: I did the rest of 
my experimenting on a Win 7 Enterprise virtual machine, and ran into the 
same problems as on Win 7 Premium.  So I'm pretty confident the 
different flavors of Win 7 had nothing to do with it.  Much more likely 
that setup ran into the same failures (silently) on Win 7 Pro because 
the installation was done before setup was reporting the postinstall 
script failures.  I would guess that the new practice of putting up the 
dialog window telling the new Cygwin user that his new installation will 
not work correctly until he fixes all of the errors which occurred will 
result in a decreased number of new users who are brave enough to 
persevere with Cygwin, but an increase in the number of problems which 
are actually reported and (let's hope) fixed.  On balance, at least in 
the long run, a worthy trade-off.

Thanks again for your assistance.

It's a dependency of imake, which is a member of the XWin set.

imake uses the C preprocessor...

I've done exactly this, then tried to install some X stuff and got:

    Package: xinit
            xinit.sh exit code 8
    Package: No package
            xinit.sh exit code 8

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

It turns out that the above error message is generated by the second
(and final) line of /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh, which attempts to
create the "Cygwin-X/Xwin Server" menu shortcut, using
/usr/bin/mkshortcut.exe; I can't tell why the latter fails, but I've
attached the output of strace to hopefully provide a clue.

Thanks,
