I built setup.exe from the sources in setup-2.592-1.7special.tar.bz2,
and the resulting program seems a bit buggy. There have been
two problems I've noticed so far:
1) It stopped and complatined that release/gcc/gcc-3.4.4-3.tar.bz2
wasn't a valid file format. Yet tar seems quite happy with
it.
2) About 6-8 times during the install, it stopped and
complained
Can't open file://D:\cygwin/ for reading: No such file
The working directory when setup.exe was started was
d:/cygwin, and the packages are all in d:/cygwin/release
I just clicked "OK" on all the error dialog boxes and the
install continued and produced what appears to be a working
install.
Should I be using an older version of setup sources? The
working setup.exe that I downloaded yesterday appears to be
version 2.573.2.3.
