Quick summary: I'm stuck being unable to achieve a working Cygwin installation on a machine that formerly had one.
attempts always yield errors of the following kind (the numbers, other than "errno 11", vary): --- begin typical error message --- 1152878 [main] sh 304 fork: child 27120 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11 ./base-files-mketc.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable --- end typical error message ---
this does not look a fork issue due to rebase (colliding address) it looks BLODA interference. Specially if you try to install only base category the collision risk is almost nothing
Additionally, running setup after attempting to run these scripts manually causes not only the scripts to again fail when invoked by setup.exe, but the 0p_000_autorebase.dash script also fails, with exit code 2.
as before...
* Re-downloaded the setup program. Some more details: * Windows 10 machine * Cygwin setup.exe version 2.877 (64 bit) * I've attached /var/log/setup.log.full from my most recent installation attempt, in case it might help. * I have extensive but somewhat limited administrator rights on this Windows machine; in particular, I can't suspend or disable the anti-virus software. However, I've never before had a related problem with Cygwin--not on this machine I've had since August 2016, and not on any other machine with same limited admin rights I've had over the past 7+ years. This all strongly suggests to me (IMHO) the anti-virus software, and my limited admin rights, are not interfering with the Cygwin installation.
unfortunately Antiviruses evolve and not always for the better. On my side Symantec has worsened a lot in the last months, while be reasonable for years. It could also be some other applications like device drivers or security communication packages. Anything in this list or similar https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda that you have around ? Bank security packages are the latest trendy BLODA's.
After hours of searching the web and attempting multiple reinstallations, I'm sorry to lean on the community for help, but I'm really at wits end. I'm willing to try new ideas, and appreciate any suggestions. Thanks very much in advance, --Daniel
I do not know if works on W10, it worked on my W7 64 bit, but you can try with "msconfig.exe" to reboot in "Safe boot" with "Network" and just install base category. This should disable almost every services including the AV If installation works than you know that a BLODA is around, but catching it will take a bit more.
