RE: Missing ls, mkdir and stuff

[Stephen Patterson]

I'd have thought that ls, mkdir and a few other commands are so essential to the basic running of cygwin that they would be in some always-installed base package.

Marcin,

You need to install fileutils to get ls, and mkdir.

They _are_ in the base distro. If you have installed via `setup.exe'
from http://cygwin.com and if you install everything you would have
all these tools.

certainly  not.  many  people  use  cygwin  to  run some programs that
require it, but never ever start interactive bash shell.

the  thing  that  can  help,  though,  is  a downloadable file list of
archives  in  latest/  so  i  can  determine,  which package i have to
download to get ls or mkdir

The base distribution is all packages.  If you install them all, you will
get all the tools you need.  If you're looking for some indication of what
is the minimal set of packages that you need to install for a particular 
type of user ("regular user", "developer", etc), this doesn't exist yet.
So far, there haven't been any volunteers to provide this information or 
enhance setup to do this (although Earnie Boyd had provided, within the last
few weeks, his cut at what he thought might be minimal installation).

They are always installed if you follow the normal path and don't exclude
that package.

Missing ls, mkdir and stuff

[Marcin Orlowski]

Hi,

I just installed Cygwin (the latest I suppose ;-) and noticed
that I lack ls, mkdir and other basic tools. I wonder if I
accidentally missed THE archive (I've not installed all the
packages) or that's usual? Anyway, the question is: where
are ls, mkdir? What to grab to have them installed?

Regards,
