Hi.
I've just tried to do a full install of cygwin/X on Windows XP. The install hangs at 90%, saying:
Installing
xorgx-x11-etc-6.8.180.1
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Bitmap
When I look at the file structure, etc/X11/app-defaults is a file, not a directory. Perhaps this is the problem (how can one write to app-defaults/Bitmap if app-defaults is not a directory)?
But I think this raises several other things which might benefit from fixing as well.
1) Instead of hanging, whatever is trying to do this write should be able to detect that there is a problem and report a meaningful error message.
2) It would probably be a good idea to test doing a full install on at least the most popular operating systems, especially Windows XP. That way, this sort of problem doesn't scare away potential new members of the cygwin/X user base, and doesn't generate negative P.R for the project.
Thanks!
Greg
