rebaseall invocation error

rebaseall invocation error

[Mirko Vukovic]

Hello,

I am running rebaseall manually to enable X11:  I found a post
suggesting to rebase to 0x77000000

I am following instructions on http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Rebaseall

I restarted Windows 7 (64bit) in safe mode (no networking) and opened
a command prompt where I executed:

cd \cygwin\bin
dash
PATH=.
rebaseall -v

I got the following error:

rebaseall: only ash or dash processes are allowed during rebasing
    Exit all Cygwin processes and stop all Cygwin services.
    Execute ash (or dash) from Start/Run... or a cmd or command window.
    Execute '/bin/rebaseall' from ash (or dash).

I get the same error from a regular Windows session (with sshd
stopped, and no other cygwin processes running - as far as I can see).

Are there some other Cygwing processes running?  How can I check for
that.  Or is something else amiss?

Thanks,

Mirko

You realize that the project web site is: http://cygwin.com/ right?  You
can't expect instructions from unrelated sites to work.  You shouldn't
need to use the above anymore with new improvements to reabase.

Task Manager would probably tell you if something else is running.

True.  But I did not find anything else better and the instructions on
that site jibed with
what I read on the cygwin mailing list over the years.  That's why I
went with it.

Against my better judgment I went and looked in Task Manager.  After all I was
certain I did not start any cygwin process.  And in there I found
aspell -- it was
started during Windows Emacs startup.  I use Emacs to write down notes
during debugging.

rebaseall works as advertised.

But this wasn't actually "better".  Just running rebaseall, as suggested
by the official Cygwin FAQ is the correct advice.
