For the adventurous: cygwin/latest/newsetup

[Chris Faylor]

I made some changes to the setup program over the weekend.  It should be
noticeably faster at downloading from the internet.

I would appreciate it if any adventurous types would like to try this out
and report *to the list* if they have any problems.

RE: For the adventurous: cygwin/latest/newsetup

[Jeff Jensen]

I tried using setup.exe (not newsetup.exe) for the first time on Sat (setup
is dated 4/22 8:46 PM).  I had troublesome results.  Repeated installs had
the same results.  I searched the FAQ, docs, archives, etc. for some
answers, and didn't see anything.  Apologies if this is commonly answered
issue, I couldn't find anything on it (and my wife will tell you sometimes I
am blind when looking for things ;-).

I successfully have b20 installed and running for about the past month or
so.

Here are a few snippets from the setup.log file (I'll email it if someone
wants it; it is 648K.  Hopefully I have included enough here.):

C:\bin\vdir.exe

create file: No such file or directory


Messages like those recur.  Basically, many files install, and many do not.
The Cygwin 1.1.0 is on the Start menu, and, not surprisingly, an empty
MS-DOS Prompt window appears when run (no command line appears - just
hangs).  I think there must be a config error somewhere.  I am a bit
surprised as b20 runs fine.

I am clueless on this.  Can anyone point me to archive info, install
instructions for the new method of install, or let me know what I am
missing?


BTW - With b20, everything was nicely contained in one directory.  Is it
more common with the new setup to create one dir off of C: (or wherever) to
collect all of the directories together, or to have them all off of root?

Please provide the version of setup that you were running, the version of
the Windows OS you're using, a copy of your mount table (which you get
by typing "mount").

FYI, setup prints the build date and version every time it runs.

You were installing into a new, empty directory, right?  It would also
be useful to see the results of a "ls -lR" in the directory that you
were making your "root".

RE: For the adventurous: cygwin/latest/newsetup

[Jeff Jensen]

Thanks Chris, here is the info:

Setup: Rev 1.25, built 4/21 @11:31.
OS: Win 95 SR2 (I haven't tried on my NT Wks machine yet)
Mount output:
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
\                c:                  native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary

Root dir: No, the install target directory was not empty as I accepted the
default of [c:\] as the root, as I did as my mount for b20.  It placed many
bin files in /bin, created /lib, /usr, and /usr w/files (and subdirs in
/usr).  An ls -lR will give you my whole drive...so that infers:
Should the target install dir be a separate dir off DOS root, as was done by
setup in b20?  When I have a chance later, I will install to a separate dir
to see if that changes any results.

This is a very strange mount table.  If setup.exe did this then there's
a bug there somewhere.  Try doing the following:

umount --remove-all-mounts
mount -f -b c:/ /
setup

If that "\" mount comes back then there is a problem in setup.exe.

[Jeff Jensen]

All I get is "umount: Invalid argument"
when trying "umount --remove-all-mounts".  umount --help, /?, etc. reveals
no info to ensure I am doing a valid option.  Anything on that?  Where is
help info on the commands?

I found the entry in the registry and deleted the bad one.  Rerunning setup
results in the same issues as before.

What are the pre-reqs to install this?  Does it need to be installed in any
special directory hierarchy?

I've tried to fix this problem, although I can't duplicate it, precisely.

I've just uploaded setup Revision 1.29 to sourceware.cygnus.com.  Please
try this again and let cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com know if it worked or
not.

Make sure that you are running revision 1.29.  The revision is displayed
when setup first starts.

You also _MUST_ run setup.exe from MSDOS.  You _MUST_ not have any other Cygwin
process running.

Chris, does setup check for Cygwin sessions running and die on startup?

No.  It's a good idea but I don't know of any easy way to check for this.
The cygwin DLL that is bundled with setup is built specially so that it
*shouldn't* interfere with another running cygwin but I'm not 100% sure
that that is the case.

You don't have the correct version of umount installed yet.  You can also use
REGEDIT to remove the entries.  Search for Cygnus in the keys.  Delete the
invalid mount entries.

Um, Earnie.  That's probably what he did.
