genisoimage with cygwin 1.7 generate STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[andyg11]

Hi,
genisoimage 1.1.7.1 (CYGWIN)
with
cygwin1.dll v1007.0.0.0, 2009-09-11 01:25

throw following error whilte creating a large 2 GB iso file:
    694 [main] genisoimage 3948 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   4487 [main] genisoimage 3948 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to genisoimage.exe.stackdump 

genisoimage.exe.stackdump:

End of stack trace 

the same genisoimage version from 1.5 works fine (cygwin 1005.25.0.0).

Please provide 1) the actual command that you are using and 2) the cygcheck
output as suggested by http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Hi,
i shrink the commandline to:
e:\testcd\cygwin1.7\usr\bin\genisoimage.exe  -o i:\transfer\test.iso . 2>i:\transfer\err.log

i looks like that the error occur only with many files and the resulting size > 1.3 GB

for the test i use my cygwin15 directory with 200 mb and cygwin17 with 50 mb and a 800 mb and 400 mb file.
hope that help

Andy

Num lines in dirs: C:\cygwin\bin = 1152 C:\cygwin-1.7\bin = 289 WHY SO FEW?

[David Combs]

I just now installed 1.7.

Where *is* everything?

bin has 289 files, whereas the non-beta has 1152.





So, just how "beta" is 1.7.  "Alpha"?

Or am I missing something, eg there's still lots more
for me to install "by hand"?


Oh, someone tell me how to find the version number of a cygwin,
and I can tell you what mine is.  (Looks like the most recent
files in bin are 15june09, so pretty darned recent, my "standard"
cygwin.)

----

Oh, *roughly* when might 1.7 become the standard cygwin?  A year
or so?


Thanks!

David

uname -a
to find out what version of the cygwin1.dll you have
For example: CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 INCONSPICUOUS 1.7.0(0.212/5/3)
2009-09-11 01:25 i686 Cygwin

My version 1.7 /bin directory has ~ 1000 files in it.  You probably
just don't have all the packages installed you had for version 1.5.

Thanks.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong David. setup-1.7.exe appears 
to default to just the Base category packages. The 1.5 setup.exe selects 
many more packages outside the Base category by default and that's the 
difference you are seeing.

As an aside I like this current behaviour: I have bandwidth constraints 
and problems with packages interfering with each other and so find it 
handy to start with a small core Cygwin and add the stuff I need.

I don't know how to extract what the default packages are from the old 
setup.exe: I suspect it's all the Base category packages plus others 
from a list compiled into the binary though I'd be happy if someone 
could correct me on that.

I notice that setup-1.7.exe has a command line interface with an option 
to select packages to install. It doesn't appear to be working yet. I 
sure hope it is a future feature because it would be just the ticket for 
  this issue: compile a list of packages you want to be in your default 
install and then you could reproduce it at will.

Cheers,
Chris.

There should be little difference in how 'setup.exe' works for 1.5 vs 1.7.
The determination for what's installed by default has not changed, though
the overall number of packages and size may have changed somewhat.

No, that's not true.  See above.

Can you be more specific about the problem you see?

On my machine the observed behaviour was different:
new 1.5 install -> 91 packages
new 1.7 install -> 44 packages
Note that I'm not using a "clean" machine: this is a machine that has 
Cygwin on it before and one with 1.5 and 1.7 cohabiting. I wonder if 
anyone has installed 1.7 to to a clean machine? If the base install 
package count was closer to 91 it suggests the 1.7 install process is 
affected by a prior 1.5 install, that would be interesting.

I hope I'm not confusing the issue. The impression I get is that David 
additionally expected to find packages he himself installed in 1.5 
present in the new 1.7 install?

Could you explain how the installer chooses a default set of packages to 
install for a fresh Cygwin install?

I was wrong, the command line interface *is* working for me. I was 
misled by the following apparently harmless error messages:

in cmd shell:

E:\home\admin\installers> setup-1.7.exe -D -L -s 
http://mirror.internode.on.net/
pub/cygwin/ -R e:\cygwin_1_7 -l E:\home\application_data\cygwin_1_7 -q 
-P joe

E:\home\admin\installers>Starting cygwin install, version 2.649
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-host) failed 2 No such 
file or dir
ectory
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-port) failed 2 No such 
file or dir
ectory
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/extrakeys) failed 2 No such file or 
director
y
... proceeds to install package "joe" correctly

Additionally I needed the the "-L" flag and was omitting it:
Command Line Options:
  -D --download                          Download from internet
  -L --local-install                     Install from local directory
  -s --site                              Download site
....
I wrong assumed I could omit -L if I was freshly downloading the package 
from the mirror and installing it in one go but this is not so: I needed 
to supply both -D *and* -L options.

Basically, it installs the packages in the 'Base' category and any 
dependencies of those
packages.

I wonder if the change to the X stuff if showing up here. Old install of X
brought in pretty much everything but the new modular install is much more
frugal. I never checked what happened to the old stuff when I updated to the
new X in 1.5. I don't think it removed the already installed X stuff, so I'm
thinking that an old 1.5 install (even upgraded) with X could show quite a
few more files than a new 1.5 or 1.7 install with X.

Probably the easiest way to see the differences is the massage the cygcheck
outputs and simply diff the two.

If I understood the OP correctly, he only installed new and only whatever comes
by default.  X is not part of the 'Base' category so it isn't installed by 
default.

Yup.
