xwin.exe = cygwin1.dll not found.
Just ran setup.exe on a new XP box. C:\cygwinC:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe error dialog: XWin.exe - Unable To Locate Component This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. C:\cygwindir cygwin1.dll /s Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 1CCD-9788 Directory of C:\cygwin\bin 01/20/2006 12:28 PM 1,805,448 cygwin1.dll Is this even the right place to post? ^Carl K
setup-2.521.exe nit: Local Package Dir box too small
When I run setup-2.521.exe (I think older version too), the step that asks for Local Package Directory has a text box that could be bigger, which would be good considering that a default value of C:\Documents and Settings\carl\Application Data\cygwin\Packages only displays Settings\carl\Application Data\cygwin\Packages ^Carl Karsten
my 3 heads = apps in the dead zone
I am running cygwin/x on a 3 head win box: 21 is main, 2 17's are stacked to the right. so the 3 look like these dots .: or like this [17] [21][17] When I start an app, it creates its window in the dead zone where there is no monitor - like this: app[17] [21][17] I can tell that's where it is because I can right click the XWin task bar button, hit move, hold down the DownArrow key and the app's window will come into view from the top of the 21. If I run the app, right click, move and use RightArrow, the window comes into view at the left side of the top 17. Is this a problem with the app, cygwin/x, x.org, Win or my config? ^Carl Karsten -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
beta setu.exe
Re: RFC: [ITP] Installation Profiles packages Its done. What is the process for releasing beta versions of setup.exe? If someone will post a URL, I'll be happy to run it on a test box. ^Carl K
Re: [ITP] Installation Profiles packages
(Sorry for the late post, I was trying to get the news server to take it. guess that isn't an option for this list?) This would be particularly nice if setup.exe were modified so that on an initial installation, it showed a profile selection page first, instead of the package selection page. The profile selection page would let the user choose one or more profiles to install; the packages selected would be a union of the dependencies from the profiles. There could be a check box for advanced package selection that the user could select if they wanted to go to the regular package selection page. Good idea. In addition: user picks profiles and advanced, the package selection page would be setup with the packages that the picked profiles use. Now for the fun: If they hit advanced alter the current package selections, hit Back the package list should reflect what profiles are still fully supported. For instance: pick WebServer + advanced, next, unselect php, back - WebServer should no longer be selected. more fun: WebServer is 1/2 selected - gray or something. Better fun: 15 of 16 packages selected. Roll the Profile and Advanced into one: Profiles items in the package selection tree, and under it are all the related packages. The same package can be in more than one Profile, and the bottom of the list would be the All profile. Re-running setup.exe (for updates, as opposed to an installation) would skip the profile selection page and go straight to the package selection page. Not so good. I think it should always start with the profile page, defaulting to the currently selected packages, just like if they had hit Back. ^Carl
bug report place
report this as a bug http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/setup-2.513-1-alpha.exe Where should bugs be reported?

where is setup.exe source?
What builds the setup.exe source? I am interested in an option to prob all the servers and disable the ones that are currently off line. Maybe even do a traceroute and sort by number of hops. Or at least export the list so that a seperate utility could be used to pick a server. ^Carl K -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: where is setup.exe source?
Brian Dessent wrote: Carl Karsten wrote: What builds the setup.exe source? Anyone who wants to. If you mean who compiles the setup.exe binaries I meant what compiler is used. I am used to things like InnoSetup, so I was expecting something of that nature. As to the location of the source, please read http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg01019.html. Since you are the second person who has asked this in the last week I have to wonder if there is something about the website that's unclear. Is there any wording that could be made more clear to answer what I would hope would be a simple question of where is the source? For me, it wasn't the wording, but the path from http://cygwin.com to http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and then the setup gives the option to dl package sources, but not the setup.exe source. I am interested in an option to prob all the servers and disable the ones that are currently off line. Maybe even do a traceroute and sort by number of hops. This, however is going to be rather fruitless. The list of mirrors is already checked frequently (at least daily) by automatic infrastructure on the cygwin.com machine, and any mirror that is offline or is more than 24 hours out of sync is automatically removed from the mirrors.lst file. So barring a local connectivity problem, if it's in the mirrors.lst file (which is the same data as presented http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) then it's guaranteed to be fresh and online. I didn't realize it was retrieved at setup time. good idea ;) I still think it would be usefully to have a way to evaluate which server to use. I did gentoo a few years ago, and it had something like that. I'll dig around and see if I can figure out how to make use of it. Or at least export the list so that a seperate utility could be used to pick a server. http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst should be trivial to process with sed/awk/perl/etc. ftp://mirror.calvin.edu/cygwin;mirror.calvin.edu;North America;Michigan Why isn't the North America;Michigan part displayed? ^Carl -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

For each host, netselect figures out the approximate ping time (though
not as accurately as ping does), the number of network hops to reach
the target, and the percentage of ping requests that got through sucâ
cessfully. Then netselect calculates the score of each operational
host based on these values.

latest ver, bug reports
What is the latest stable and beta versions of Cygwin/X? and where do I get the beta from? When I run xwin.exe, i get: Release: 6.8.2.0-4 Where do I post bug reports for Cygwin/X? 1.

Re: latest ver, bug reports
1. When I move a window from one monitor to a 2nd, it doesn't fill in the body until I move it back to the first. winScreenInit - Monitors do not all have same pixel format / display depth. Using primary display only. That explains that. ^C -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
