Re: Cygwin Git cant' Sync File Based repository
I think the issue IMHO is that when you use a *file* based repository git stores the file path in a certain way, and Cygwin64's git gets confused. -- gary furash | furashg...@gmail.com, 520-907-2470 On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 1:09 PM, Gary Furash <furashg...@gmail.com> wrote: > From windows GIT > > [gffurash ~] $ git --version > git version 2.14.2.windows.3 > [gffurash ~] $ which git > /mingw64/bin/git > [gffurash ~] $ > > From Cygwin GIT > > [gffurash ~] $ git --version > git version 2.14.2 > [gffurash ~] $ which git > /usr/bin/git > [gffurash ~] $ > > > in each case they're referring to a different root: the former > C:\Progra~1\Git and the latter C:\Cygwin64 > -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Python Configuration for Cygwin
Most articles on configuring your python installation assume that you're using the native python or installing it yourself. Given that I've installed python via the (excellent) Cygwin exe, and it seems to be working fine: 1. what else do I need to setup and how (e.g., how should PYTHONPATH look on Cygwin) 2. does Cygwin include the easy setup tools thing for python like it does for Perl (I think it's called setuptools)? If not, we probably should, as it makes it easy for newbies to install egg packages.

No Network Access Nearly Resolved
I am running the latest Cygwin installation on Windows XP w/ all the latest windows patches. Here are the symptoms/facts. 1. When I delete the passwd and groups file, Cygwin makes a dummy logon for me. I can do all sorts of normal network activity from the command line ( SSH, etc.). However, I don't think this is what you're supposed to do. 2. I have no local account for my user on the PC. It is associated with a windows domain account. 3. When I setup the groups and password files the way I think they should be setup, I have no access. I have also tried associating myself with the local administrator account group to no avail (by modifying the 3rd field of the passwd file). cat /etc/group Domain Users:S-1-5-21-3885614643-332083874-814631590-513:10513: cat /etc/passwd furashg:unused:102527:10513:Furash, Gary F - (furashg),U-CATNET\furashg,S-1-5-21-3885614643-332083874-814631590-92527:/cy gdrive/c/users/furashg:/bin/bash Again, if I modify the group above so it just contains the local administrator group (544), then change 10513 above to 544, I still can't do any network things. 4.

FW: Windows XP Headaches w/ Network Communication
I just had to downgrade my PC from Windows 7 to Windows XP. I reinstalled Cygwin (from scratch), rebased, etc. However, now, none of my cygwin network programs work except within my work's internal network (they used to work just fine with Windows 7). I tried turning off windows firewall (the only firewall on, I believe), and it didn't help. So Ping, NSlookup, ssmtp, etc., don't work. The utilities work themselves, e.g., if I do ping 127.0.0.1 it works, just can't see beyond my PC! All the errors relate to not getting to hosts. I'm sure there's a simple solution to this. Thanks!

Script to Auto CYGWIN -U all environment varialbes

Proper Setting of mkpasswd and mkgroup
Problem: 1. When I create a file or such using cygwin, it says that the group is mkpasswd. This usually indicates that the Cygwin profile I'm logged on is not setup properly 2. My work PC is part of a windows group. That same account is also a PC administrator. 3. My home PC is not part of a windows group. That same account is also a PC administrator. What's the proper combination of MKPASSWD and MKGROUP commands to run? The latter can see the windows group mentioned in step #2. I've even tried manually hacking the password file so that FURASHG (my account) has the same number string after it that is after the number string in MKGROUP associated with the local PC administrator. Should I be doing something special when I double-click cygwin.bat, or change my cygwin.bat so that it somehow references furashg? It seems to know, since the files created in #1 above have furashg as the owner.

Re: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
I regularly update my CYGWIN installation, so I received the new version of Perl that is included in the current CYGWIN distribution. When I run perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell-notest(install = CPAN::Shell-r)' it works fine, until it gets to trying to install a new version of BZ2, and then dies repeatedly with a cannot map bz2 dll. The only way to get things working again is to reinstall PERL from CYGWIN and do a REBASEALL -V from ASH. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
