"I wasn't". That is - when I released it, I released it bug-free AFAIK.
I test setup before releasing even snapshots :}.

Heh.  Sounds very similar to the problem that I fixed in the branch.

Why doesn't http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-05/msg01210.html count
as a bug?  Is it because it was on W98?

Yes. I was hoping it would happen on your machine too. Given that it doesn't, I
understand that there is nothing you can do directly to help with this.
However, I don't really have any more detail to give. It doesn't run long enough
to create any log files. I guess I need to build setup myself, and throw some
extra logging in there to isolate the problem.

So... I untar the setup source from cygwin.com/setup-snapshots, ./configure,
make

And get an error - implicit declaration of mkdir_p(). Ok - I fix this by moving
#include "mkdir.h" outside an #if defined(WIN32) && !defined (_CYGWIN_) section.

At the end of the build, I get a rather worrying warning:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000

But the setup.exe does run, and does reproduce the crash.

At the moment, I'm building it cygwin1.dll-linked. Would you post a MinGW build
recipe when you have time?

Thanks,

Max.

Minor unrelated thing: An a.exe is created in the build directory. It is an
invalid Win32 application.

C'mon Max, you *know* I need more detail than that.

Install from Local works fine here. Even though it's only a snapshot, I
wasn't aware of any -bugs- in the release.

setup-2.243 Crash / Install from Local Directory / WinXP

[Max Bowsher]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 243 bytes --]

setup-2.243 crashes just after clicking next on the select local package
directory stage, when in Install from Local Directory mode.

I know its only a snapshot, but this is just so you are aware of the bug.

setup-2.218.2.9 works fine.

Max.
