A problem with setup.exe (?)
I have observed this problem with setup.exe 2.575, 2.573.2.2 and 2.578 (but, perhaps it is not a stricly setup problem). Usually when one has some experimental package installed, setup, while installing some other package, tries to reinstall the 'Cur' package. So one should click to keep the exp. package. And this is OK. This morning I forgot this and setup started to reinstall the cur. version of libtool package. When I see this I clicked the 'Cancel' button to break the reinstall. This has caused a corrupted lst.gz file (libtool1.5.lst.gz): trying to gunzip manually: unexpected end of file When I have tried to reinstall the package (to be sure that all was OK), choosing 'Reinstall', there was the error window: An error occured in setup-2.573.2.2 Falag the error to Microsoft.. ... Yes/NO ... and setup hanged. After many tries, the solution has been to remove the corrupted lst.gz file and then reinstalling. So the question is: Should setup give a warning that the lst.gz file was corrupted, suggesting to remove it? But perhaps, the simplest solution should be to remove the 'Cancel' button from setup...

I ran into the same problem mentioned by a thread back in 2003 where using a windows cvs.exe instead of the cygwin one caused configure to fail, and I made it past that, but now make is failing because it can't find zlib.h. This is the first cygwin based build I've ever tried before. All my other building has been msvc based. I took all my msvc stuff out of the environment, but I'm not sure how to go about trying to troubleshoot why g++ can't find zlib.h (obviously, I double checked to make sure the zlib package is installed). Could someone give me some pointers here? Version of setup source? If using source from CVS, have you read the README file, which now gives detailed instructions? Max.

Re: Problem building setup.exe (zlib.h not found)
Max, sorry for not RTFMing closely enough. I knew I had bz2 and zlib libraries installed so I didn't click on the mingw prefix until Brian highlighted it.

Re: Problem building Setup.exe
Check that libgetopt++/bootstrap.sh is executable, if it is, sorry, I don't know. If it's not, to quote StarTrek TNG, make it so then start again from the setup/bootstrap.sh Yupe it is and was. I even downloaded a clean copy and did a chmod for good measure. Hope this helps! I've only just gotten the thing working. Nope the libgetopt++ stuff still does not configure Thanks though Christian Gross __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

Thanks Christian Gross Well, Christian, it doesn't seem like you're calling the right programs here... Judging by the path in the second command, you're running this from a directory one level up from setup's source. AFAIK, there is no bootstrap script there, especially not one called bootstrap. There is a bootstrap.sh script *in* the setup source directory, and that's the one you should be calling, IIRC. So, your sequence (starting at the same directory you were before) should be: Yes you are right there. However, the bootstrap.sh script does get called. It was a typo in the email. I still get the error... Thanks... Christian Christian, Please make sure your mailer honors the Reply-To: field. We should keep this discussion on the list, so this appears in the archives. FYI, I was able to CVS checkout and build setup from scratch just now by using the command sequence below (with the exact output).

Lesstif compilation problem and setup.exe
I decided to try compiling the latest version of Lesstif to get my feet wet doing compilations of packages. Download and untaring went well. Compilation seemed to go ok also until I'd gotten about 3/4 of the way through. Then Cygwin refused to continue compiling. I was in fvwm2 at the time. When I flipped back to the window for Cygwin it had quite a few messages about having run out of process space and that it could no longer fork a new process. I could not even exit Cygwin. (ie: typing exit just generated a new error.) I decided that maybe fvwm2 was the culprit (after all X does suck up a lot of process space sometimes) and so I rebooted my system, got back into Cygwin, and recompiled. Same results. My System: Windows98se box Memory: 512mb HDD: 30GB (17GB used) Motherboard graphics, sound, etc Cygwin version: (currently downloading latest version to give this a go again [as I type]) Release available on August 5th, 2002. Full installation download. Notes: I was using tcsh under fvwm2. Nothing fancy and I just did a make (no options) after doing the ./configure (no options). There didn't seem to be any problems with the compilations (no errors only a few warnings). It just seemed to be the number of iterations make had to go through which caused it to run out of process space. If you need a screen dump - let me know. I can either try to capture the text itself (didn't work before but I can try again) or do a screen capture (found a nice on-line product). Didn't want to post the screen capture. Setup.exe: I'd like to propose a couple of changes to setup.exe: 1.Make the dialog box resizable. It would be nice to be able to see the entire set of information about what is going to be downloaded without having to scroll back and forth. 2.Change the options on what to do so Update is shown. Either Install/Update or maybe a separate radio button. Anything just so we don't go I don't want to install the whole thing again! before remembering the program is smart enough to just do the update. :-) TIA!

Preliminary patch for symlink problem in setup.exe
I've found a problem in setup.exe which potentially results in
two symlinks with the same name.
As you know, the default setting for symlinks in Cygwin is using
Windows shortcuts while setup.exe always creates symlinks as
the old-style system files.
Now imagine the following simple situation
- Delete /usr/bin/slogin by mistake.
- Recreate /usr/sbin/slogin with ln(1) creates a Windows shortcut
/usr/sbin/slogin.lnk.
- A new OpenSSH package is downloaded using setup.exe.
Now look into the /usr/bin directory. You will find two files,
`slogin' and `slogin.lnk'.
The following patch is a quick hack which I'd like to get reviewed
by the active setup contributors (not me).
The additional advantage of that patch is that it alleviates the
problem that setup complains when a file couldn't be installed
because the file already exists and couldn't be unlinked before.
That happens mostly when the R/O file attribute is set since
DeleteFile() fails then.
Oh, and I'm using the new INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES define which
I found in the latest MSDN (surprise, surprise) and which
substitutes all prior ((DWORD) -1) or 0x constants
to mark the return code of GetFileAttributes() for ... yeah, you
guessed it, invalid file attributes.
