instalation in other than c:\

instalation in other than c:\

[James Nord]

Hi,

I am having problems with the latest cygwin toolkit (net release).

As I installed the toolkit under c:\cygwin and not c:\ I get various
errors.

Is there a way (config file/reg entry or otherwise to tell the tools
where thay are installed?)

An example of the errors follow:

>bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!

>bash-2.04$ man man
>Warning: cannot open configuration file /usr/lib/man.conf
>No manual entry for man

> bash-2.04$ man -M /cygwin/usr/man man
> Warning: cannot open configuration file /usr/lib/man.conf
> Error executing formatting or display command.
> System command (cd /cygwin/usr/man ; (echo -e ".pl 1100i"; cat /cygwin/usr/man/man1/man.1; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/groff -Tlatin1 -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -is) exited with status 32512.
> No manual entry for man

I also changed /cygwin/etc/profile to update the man paths etc... but
this does not get read either - which is kind of obvious :-/

If it is only possible with re-conpilation will I be able to get away
with only compiling bash and setting everything else up using specific
env. variables?

Thanks,

	/James

Setup should have created /tmp for you.

Try changing your path in /etc/profile to have /usr/bin:/bin instead
of the other way around.

I installed under c:\unix and it works OK. However...

It sounds like you did what I did, and installed Cygwin as 
Administrator on your NT box (mine is Win2K), and then tried to use 
it as a regular user on the system. There are a couple of problems 
with this that I sorted out manually:

 1. You need to create the necessary registry entries to tell Cygwin 
where to mount the root partition of the Unix file system. This lives 
under '\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions'. I exported this 
registry key to a file from my Administrator account, and then 
imported this into my user account and got it working. I assume you 
will need to do the same for all users on the system.

 2. The user id will be wrong when you finally get Cygwin going, as 
it will think you are still the Administrator (based on what is in 
/etc/passwd). The solution I used was to re-create the /etc/passwd 
and /etc/group files based on our NT domain as follows:

 mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd
 mkgroup -d > /etc/passwd

The default is to normally to get this from the local machine login, 
but any good NT install using domains will only have a local 
Administrator account and all user accounts will be on the domain 
controller instead. The install IMHO should have the option of 
getting user account information from the domain controller and not 
the local accounts as that would be very useful for a lot of users 
IMHO.

BTW, this brings up some points about the installer. Shouldn't the 
default installation stuff be stored in a global registry setting 
somewhere instead of the current user setting? Or perhaps some 'user 
install' utility should be created to set this up correctly for each 
user that wishes to use the shared Cygwin installation?

If you check the "all users" option in the root path dialog, it will
install everything (registry, desktop, start menu) globally.  You
*did* check that box, didn't you?

I'm not sure what the default should be, but I suspect that the right
way would auto-detect if you had admin privs and select defaults
accordingly.

We've thought about that, but better would be to fix mkpasswd so that
it creates a globally usable password file.

I could have sworn that I chose the install for all option, although I
could have missed it :-/

However the shortcuts icons are in the "all users" start menu and not
the Administrators.

Sounds good.

What do you mean by a "globally useable" password file?  
The setup created it fine for me and populated it with the correct Users
& UIDs from my system - Hej it even got the home directories ;-)

Hmmm, could be a bug then.  It's *supposed* to use HKLU when it does
"all users".

*If* mkpasswd is sensitive to the current user, which was what I was
responding to, *then* it should be fixed.  I manually edit my
/etc/passwd file, so I wouldn't know.

Eh? You must be using a pre-release version of setup.exe, since the 
version I am using (downloaded late last week, and dated 7/13/2000 
10:37PM) simply asks me where to install from (current directory in 
my case as I use a mirror program to pull everything down), and then 
asks me where to put it all and that's it. It goes on directly and 
starts installing. 

If I *did* get this question I would definately have told it to do it 
for all users as I always do installations as Administrator 
specifically to ensure I flesh out problems other users will have 
when I try to use the apps myself from my own local account (even 
though my account has Administrator priveledges and could be used for 
the install).

That would be a really good idea!

You mean one that would automatically merge both the local and domain 
passwords into a single file? That would be cool. Although in the 
interim an option in the installer would be nice as I think most 
users doing NT installs who use a network will need domain accounts.

Go to http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and click on the "install
cygwin now" icon in the upper right.  That's a link to the latest
setup.exe (the same as the one in the ftp area).  The second dialog,
where it asks you for the path to the cygwin root directory, also has
a "Default Text File Type" selection (dos or unix), and an "Install
for" selection (all or just me).  Did you see those options?

It's dated July 18th 21:02.

Ahh, I did see those options but given the layout of the dialog box I 
thought the 'system/user' option was something related to the mount 
point!

Hence I would suggest a good change to the dialog box would be to 
sepatate those radio buttons into a separate group and put a 
description on the system/user group so it is clearer what the radio 
buttons represent ;-)

It is.  It determines whether the mounts are places in HKLM (system)
or HKCU (user).  However, I have since reworded it (the latest setup
on sources had it) to be more obvious about the consequences of the
choice, not the direct effect.

Yep, it is much clearer now, thanks!

However there is one major catch with this. If you put the registry 
keys under HKLM, on Windows 2000 you need Administrator privledges to 
be able to access that registry tree. I did an install to the system 
on my box, and both the Administrator and KendallB accounts worked 
fine, but regular users did not see the registry settings!

I am not quite sure how you are supposed to fix this, but for the 
moment I still have to manually create the correct keys for regular 
users.

Can a non-priviledged user read HKLM with regtool or regedit?  If so,
we might just be reading the registry with the wrong requested
permissiong (rw vs ro) in cygwin.

That is possible. I know you definately cannot write to it, but 
perhaps it is possibl to read it. In fact I am sure it is because I 
was broswing it as a regular user when I was trying to figure out 
what was wrong.

Are we to assume that you already had Cygwin installed into the root of C:? 
Can you provide the output of `cygcheck -s -v -r' pasted in a mail?

I have in the past had cygwin 20.1 installed (in c:\) but the machine
has gone through a complete clean installation of everything including
formatting the hard drives - so you could take this as a clean install.

Attached is the output of cygcheck -s -v -r run from a cmd shell.

That doesn't look like what setup does for the mount tables.  You did
use the setup program, right?

Re: instalation in other than c:\

[James Nord]

Ahh....

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I've just solved it.

It was using the gui setup program btw...

The problem is that I ran the installer as the Administrator user, and
never use that account for anything else but installations.

The installer made (and the tools require?) the registry entries in HKCU
not in HKLM.
But this is a bit wiered as it effects the whole installation and should
they not be created in HKLM instead?

Exporting the settings from the administrator account and back into my
account and everything works.

Thanks for everyones,

	/James

When it asked for the root path, did you check the "install for all"
or "install for just me" option?

Absolutely. In NT and W2K, everyone has at least read access to HKLM by 
default,  except for HKLM/SECURITY. There is no default restriction on the 
method of access (Regedit, Regedt32, NT reskit tools...) although some 
administrators may remove user access to some of the tools.
