Setup: gio-querymodules.exe - Entrypoint not found

Setup: gio-querymodules.exe - Entrypoint not found

[Klaas Dieckhoff]

Hi all,



While installing Cygwin on my Windows 10 machine I got the attached error
message twice. Unfortunately it’s in german, but it translates to:



procedure entrypoint "_idn2_punycode_decode" not found in DLL
<path>/libgnutls-30.dll



In my installation I’m for example not able to use git with ssl (i.e.
commands like ‘git push origin master’). I already tried to reinstall
libgnutls-30.dll which didn’t help.



Any idea how to resolve this issue?



Thanks

Klaas

Your subject mentions setup and gio-querymodules; your body mentions 
idn2_punycode_decode, libgnutls30; plus git and git-push.

Please copy and paste the actual commands executed and error messages 
reported, including complete commands for each of the issues involved.
There are German speakers on the list who can clarify for those of us 
who may have issues decoding German tech language.

I would not expect punycode to be anything to do with libgnutls.

I would expect idn2_punycode_decode in cyg/libidn2, but it is not a 
public API symbol for either Cygwin or Windows mingw libraries.

The idn2_punycode_decode issue was a libgnutls/libidn2 compatibility 
problem a couple of years ago but should be fixed now:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1683812

Cygwin wget and wget2 are built with libgnutls and libidn2 and have no 
build, test, or usage issues reported.

Have you perhaps an old release of Cygwin installed and have not applied 
any recent upgrades?

Do you perhaps have Git for Windows or some WSL distro installed and in 
your path? Try:

	$ which git; ls /usr/libexec/git-core/git-push
	/usr/bin/git
	/usr/libexec/git-core/git-push

As Marco pointed out, the DLL in question is from one of the cross-tool gnutls 
packages.  Klaas's most recent post, which gives the full path to the DLL, shows 
that the package is mingw64-i686-gnutls.  That hasn't been updated since 2018, 
so it might in fact be the bug that you cited.

Klaas, do you really need mingw64-i686-gnutls?  If so, could you explain 
precisely what you did that led to the error message you posted?

Also, as Marco already requested, please follow the problem-reporting guidelines at

  https://cygwin.com/problems.html ,

including the part about providing cygcheck.out as an attachment.

Do you need cross-tool libraries or are you installing everything ?

Cygwin git does not require libgnutls-30.dll, so it is another issue.

Please follow

and provide as attachment the cygcheck.out.

No I don't I removed them now.
The initial issue was, that I wasn't able to run git push. But this does
not seem to be related to this issue.
I will open a separate thread for that.
