From: Enrique Perez-Terron <enrique@perezterron.net> To: test-list@sourceware.org Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] mkshortcut fails when run from setup, postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh - not otherwise Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 05:50:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <announce.ea0e60e8cd4b773198d4ef8f863cdd1e@perezterron.net> (raw) Lately, whenever I run setup (x86), my /var/log/setup.log.full contains: 2017/12/20 03:07:44 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh" mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/User Guide (PDF).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/User Guide (HTML).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/API (PDF).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/API (HTML).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/Home Page.lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/FAQ.lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? 2017/12/20 03:07:45 abnormal exit: exit code=3 Please notice the extra C:/ in front of the target link name. So I have added a line "set -x" at the top in postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh, and the relevant section becomes + read target name desc + '[' -r ']' + /bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n 'Cygwin/User Guide (PDF)' -d 'Cygwin User Guide PDF' -- /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/cygwin-ug-net.pdf mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/User Guide (PDF).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? + read target name desc + '[' -r ']' + /bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n 'Cygwin/User Guide (HTML)' -d 'Cygwin User Guide HTML' -- /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/html/cygwin-ug-net/index.html mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/User Guide (HTML).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? + read target name desc + '[' -r ']' + /bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n 'Cygwin/API (PDF)' -d 'Cygwin API Reference PDF' -- /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/cygwin-api.pdf mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/API (PDF).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? + read target name desc + '[' -r ']' + /bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n 'Cygwin/API (HTML)' -d 'Cygwin API Reference HTML' -- /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/html/cygwin-api/index.html mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/API (HTML).lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? + read target name desc + read target name desc + /bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n 'Cygwin/Home Page' -d 'Cygwin Home Page Link' -a https://cygwin.com/index.html -- /bin/cygstart mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/Home Page.lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? + read target name desc + /bin/mkshortcut -A -P -n Cygwin/FAQ -d 'Cygwin Frequently Asked Questions Link' -a https://cygwin.com/faq.html -- /bin/cygstart mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/C:/cygwin/FAQ.lnk" failed; does the target directory exist? (by the way -- this reveals another bug too: The script says "[ -r $t ] && $mks ..." where I am sure it should be "[ -r $target ] && $mks ...") (and again btw, I am not sure bash should count "[ -r ]" as a true statement) The script issues mkshortcut commands with sane arguments, no extra "C:/" in there. So I just tried to run the script from an elevated-privilege mintty shell: $ CYGWINFORALL=-A /bin/bash /etc/postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh But then it does NOT fail, and the shortcuts do get installed -- they were not present before. I am still running the 32-bit cygwin, though on a 64-bit windows 10 Home edition, version 1709, OS build 16299.125. Any ideas about what could be the problem? -Enrique
