Cygwin 1.3.10 Setup.exe 2.194.2.22 Install Problems With MSVCRT.DLL and source code on Win98

Cygwin 1.3.10 Setup.exe 2.194.2.22 Install Problems With MSVCRT.DLL and source code on Win98

[rjlpub]

Two major problems (summary):

1. Setup.exe (2.194.2.22) ends with a invalid page fault against MSVCRT.DLL
(details below) on my Windows 98 machine, before complely fininshing the
install.

2. I cannot install source files for any packages (using same setup.exe).
When installing source code, I get "Can't open (null) for reading: No such
file" error.

Questions:

1.  I had installed the same version of Cygwin with the same setup.exe on a
box running NT 4.0, and had no problems.  However, on the NT box, a
post-install script was ran after creating the icons and startup groups.  On
this failed install I have on Windows 98, I never have a post-install script.
Is that supposed to happen on Cygwin on a Win98 system?  Is Cygwin safe to run
if I am supposed to have the post-install script, but because of the failure
the script does not run?

2.  How do I install source code with the current setup.exe?  I have not been
able to figure out how.  Is it possible with this setup.exe? (I could not
install source on the NT box either.  No error other than the "Can't open
(null) for reading: No such file" error, the same on the Win98 box).

Details:

When installing Cywin 1.3.10 with setup.exe 2.194.2.22, I can never completely
finish an install without getting an invalid page fault right after hitting
"FINISH" on the dialog box that has the checkboxes for putting a shortcut on
the desktop and in a program group.

I do not get a cycwin.bat shortcut on the desktop, nor a program group for
Cygwin.  I also do not get a post-install script like I did on an NT box using
the same setup.exe.

I can also not install any source code.

Thank you for the help.

5.  Choose directory where files are to be stored.
6.  Choose Internet connection of "Direct Connection"
7.  Choose mirror of ftp://mirrors.rcn.net
8.  Setup downloads setup.ini
9.  Hit the view button till full is displayed.
10. Hit all "Skip"s under "New" column till version is displayed.
11. Check all binaries and source boxes.
12. Setup.exe downloads all files successfully (but in a long
    path called
    ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.rcn.net%2fmirrors%2fsources.redhat.com%2fcygwin, which

15. Run setup.exe
16. Choose Install from Local Directory
17. Choose root directory for cygwin=E:\cygwin, with Install For=All Users and
    Default Text File Type=Unix.
18. Select Local Package directory:

19. Hit Next when at package selection page.
20. Copies fine to E:\cygwin.
21. Comes up with dialog box asking if I want the desktop icon and/or Startup
    group in Start Menu.  i check both, and I hit Finish.
22. I get illegal operation, and will shut down the setup.exe app.
23. After hitting close, i have no desktop icon and no startup group.
24. I do have cygwin.bat in E:\cygwin, as well as cygwin.ico.
25. I also have no setup.log in the E:\cygwin directory, or any directories
    underneath.

    If I try to do an install from the internet directly, I get the same
    results.

    Also, if I attempt to install source code, for each source code I attempt
    to install, I get a "Can't open (null) for reading: No such file" for each
    package that I selected source code on.

Your copy of MSVCRT.DLL may be out of date.  The one originally issued with
W98 is likely to be too old and buggy to run newer executables correctly.

Many (non-MS) products and downloads include a compatible version of
MSVCRT.DLL, and their installer autmatically installs it if it's
newer than the current one; thus on most machines MSVCRT.DLL gets
updated without you ever being aware of it.  [This also has a downside -
I believe MS (or the product supplier) have on occasion issued a MSVCRT
with bugs or with an incorrect version number, so your system may get stuck
with a bad copy.]

Anyway, it's worth trying to update your MSVCRT.DLL.  My current version
is 6.10.8637.0 and I have no setup crashes.

You can get an update here:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUServicePacks/MFCLibrary/Default.asp

I see this problem when I ask to install packages which haven't been downloaded.
So it looks as though your install run is not finding the files that were
previously downloaded into your local directory.  I suppose this could be
a MSVCRT problem too.


Re your more detailed questions - yes, setup should run the post-install
stuff and write a log file on W98 too.  The crash is presumably preventing
this.  If it doesn't run, Cygwin can be used but you may need to check
a few things:

- Your startup script (cygwin.bat)may not be correct. It should be like this:
    @echo off
    C:
    chdir C:\cygwin\bin
    bash --login -i

- Check your mounts using the mount command
- Generate your /etc/passwd file

I have not investigated this yet - but from what I see the crash is
similiar to one reported earlier to the ml. The address at which the

free() and realloc().

I'll look into this maybe this night.

P.S. Thanks for the very good description of your problem :)

RE: Cygwin 1.3.10 Setup.exe 2.194.2.22 Install Problems With MSVCRT.DLL and source code on Win98

[rjlpub]

Cliff,

	Thanks for the help.  After i saw your note, I did discover that
another computer running win98 had an older MSVCRT.DLL, and when I tried
to install Cygwin on in, the install went fine (although I still could not
install source code properly).

	Thanks again,

RJ

Your copy of MSVCRT.DLL may be out of date.  The one originally issued with
W98 is likely to be too old and buggy to run newer executables correctly.

Many (non-MS) products and downloads include a compatible version of
MSVCRT.DLL, and their installer autmatically installs it if it's
newer than the current one; thus on most machines MSVCRT.DLL gets
updated without you ever being aware of it.  [This also has a downside -
I believe MS (or the product supplier) have on occasion issued a MSVCRT
with bugs or with an incorrect version number, so your system may get stuck
with a bad copy.]

Anyway, it's worth trying to update your MSVCRT.DLL.  My current version
is 6.10.8637.0 and I have no setup crashes.

You can get an update here:

I see this problem when I ask to install packages which haven't been downloaded.
So it looks as though your install run is not finding the files that were
previously downloaded into your local directory.  I suppose this could be
a MSVCRT problem too.


Re your more detailed questions - yes, setup should run the post-install
stuff and write a log file on W98 too.  The crash is presumably preventing
this.  If it doesn't run, Cygwin can be used but you may need to check
a few things:

- Your startup script (cygwin.bat)may not be correct. It should be like this:
    @echo off
    C:
    chdir C:\cygwin\bin
    bash --login -i

- Check your mounts using the mount command
- Generate your /etc/passwd file

RE: Re[2]: Cygwin 1.3.10 Setup.exe 2.194.2.22 Install Problems With MSVCRT.DLL and source code on Win98

[rjlpub]

Pavel,

	I am glad to have been of help finding this bug.  However, a quick
question if I may.

	The file version.cc.  Is this part of the setup.exe source files
in http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cinstall/?cvsroot=src?

	If so, what is the compiler used for it?  I assume it is GNU C++ for
DOS/Windows? (from a comment in main.cc)  What version is it?  Where can you
get this compiler?

	Can anyone check out this code?  Is it on Sourceforge?  It might be fun
to look at the code, and see if I could figure out what is going on
with the source code install (my 2nd problem).

Thanks the help in advance.

RJ

Hello, there! :)

Ok, found it - its canonicalize_version() in version.cc. There is

A trivial patch is attached :)
