Greetings, Nellis, Kenneth! > Dear Cygwin Users:
> I currently run setup through a Windows shortcut that adds options > -d -N to the standard command line. Being exposed recently to > cygwinports, I was attempting to have separate shortcuts, Wasted effort. > one for regular cygwin and one for cygwinports. To distinguish between them, > I tried adding -s <site> to the command-line options to specify the > respective sites. Instead of working as I expected: > 1. In the "Choose A Download Site" window, instead of simply auto- > selecting my regular site, it created a duplicate entry of the site; > and > 2. When I proceeded to the next step, it complained with "Unable to > get setup.ini from <[site]>" and wouldn't let me proceed until I > selected the other of the duplicated site names. > Perhaps my mission to have separate setup procedures for cygwin > and cygwinports is folly, but wondering if I am doing something > wrong or if the -s <site> option isn't working as it should. ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- 8< ----- #!/bin/sh # Cygwin upgrade helper script. # Usage: # # install-cygwin.sh [ ports ] # # If you intend to use it for new installs, you will need minimal bootstrap # including POSIX shell interpreter and wget utility. # # You will have to edit the script to provide mirror URL of your choice. # # The script assumes existing installation of the same architecture as # the host operating system. # If you want to install 32-bit Cygwin on 64-bit host, override # $ARCH with value other than "x86_64". # F.e. # # ARCH=x86 ./install-cygwin.sh # Mirror URL - don't include trailing slash!
