Failure of cygwin install

Failure of cygwin install

[Ilya Zakharevich]

Scenario:
  (A) Download full cygwin in Summer 2015.

  (B) Install all but “Debug” category.
      	      - did not succeed (reported separately; and see below)

  (C) (1) Rerun install_tool recently in “Cur” mode, which pulled several new versions;
      (2) Do a couple of manual tweaks (described in the other message of mine of today)
      	      - resulted in a successfully finished installation
	      	(mostly of packages were still in the state of Summer 2015).

  (D) Run download/install AGAIN (a week ago) in this state of install_tool:

      	  		   CUR
      	  All: Install
	     Debug: Default

      Unfortunately, this did not succeed (again, as in 2015!)…

Here are the relevant parts of the log:

============== (1) Coredump (during rebase?)

/usr/x86_64-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin/libtk8.5.dll: skipped because wrong machine type.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

============== (2) DLL named "?" cannot be loaded

    … lines immediately after the segfault:
2016/07/03 05:44:42 running: D:\Programs\cygwin\bin\dash.exe "/etc/postinstall/0p_texlive_prep.dash"
D:/Programs/cygwin/bin/perl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    … Also at the end:
2016/07/03 05:45:54 running: D:\Programs\cygwin\bin\dash.exe "/etc/postinstall/zp_texlive_finish.dash"
D:/Programs/cygwin/bin/perl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

============== (3) mingw64-x86_64 trying to load its DLL on 32-bit machine (probably messing up fontconfig too???  see (4))

    … Few lines skipped after perl’s failure above, then:
2016/07/03 05:45:19 running: D:\Programs\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/mingw64-x86_64-glib2.0-networking.sh"
/etc/postinstall/mingw64-x86_64-glib2.0-networking.sh: line 1: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/gio-querymodules: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
2016/07/03 05:45:20 abnormal exit: exit code=126
    … Same errors for 
2016/07/03 05:45:20 running: D:\Programs\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/mingw64-x86_64-librsvg2.sh"
/etc/postinstall/mingw64-x86_64-librsvg2.sh: line 1: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
2016/07/03 05:45:20 abnormal exit: exit code=126
2016/07/03 05:45:20 running: D:\Programs\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/mingw64-x86_64-libwmf.sh"
/etc/postinstall/mingw64-x86_64-libwmf.sh: line 1: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
2016/07/03 05:45:20 abnormal exit: exit code=126

================= (4) fontconfig messed up:

2016/07/03 05:45:23 running: D:\Programs\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh"
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
    … then near end
2016/07/03 05:45:52 running: D:\Programs\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/zp_mingw64-x86_64-fontconfig_cache.sh"
/etc/postinstall/zp_mingw64-x86_64-fontconfig_cache.sh: line 1: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/fc-cache: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

-------------------------------

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
Ilya

don't install all. The 32 bit address will not support it and
fork collision are almost sure.

Install only what you really need.
