non network install
Hi, I would be gratefull if you could help with the following problem: I am trying to make a CD so that cywin binary/source can be installed from this CD. The reason being I only have a linux computer my friend only has a Windows XP. I have a fast internet connection , he has none. we finally did get his computer hooked up to my network and installed. However I would like to know how to do this still So I mirrored a cygwin ftp archive and burned them onto a CD. However when I try to install from the CD I get the following two errors many, many times when the post-install scripts are running. 1) sed.exe : "The procedure entry point libintl_gettext could not be located in the dynamic link library cygintl-2.dll" . 2) basename.exe : "The procedure entry point libintl_bindtextdomain could not be located in the dynamic link library cygintl-2.dll" Apparently as a result of these errors almost nothing works not even - ls, man , info ... etc. Since we have been trying to install almost the entire distro it is not possible that some thing is missing. If i am correct this particular library is provided by the gettext package which is being installed too. I also noticed oddly that setup.exe classifies packages into categories when I ran it on his computer , and did a network install but it lists all packages in one category "misc" when we tried to install from the CD i made. If this question has been often repeated here , I would be gratefull if you could just point me to the appropriate page. I have seen the script mkcygwget but would like to know how to obtain the corresponding source to make a source CD too. sincerely B Thomas -- 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/

You've missed the setup.ini file, which contains all the category and dependency information. Obviously you haven't installed the entire distribution, because cygintl-2.dll is in the libintl2 package.

Re: non network install
Hi there My WAG is that you need to place all those top level directory contents into a single new top level directory. setup.exe is said to fumble the ball if you try an install from a package directory which is the root directory of a drive. When you run :\\setup.exe you have to ensure that the nominated local package directory is :\ HTH Don Sharp B Thomas wrote: > > Hi, > Thank you for responding. > > But it doesn't seem like I have some thing missing , here is the listing > of my top level CD-ROM directory : > > directory - > total 1116 > -r--r--r--1 bt bt 2600 Jun 10 08:00 INSTALL.TXT > -r--r--r--1 bt bt 4141 Apr 18 2002 README.TXT > -r--r--r--1 bt bt 393740 Jun 9 19:38 cygwin.pdf > dr-xr-xr-x5 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 05:50 mail-archives > dr-xr-xr-x 17 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 04:55 math > -r--r--r--1 bt bt225 Jun 10 06:47 md5.sum > dr-xr-xr-x2 bt bt 4096 Jun 5 2002 private > dr-xr-xr-x 174 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 06:47 release > -r--r--r--1 bt bt 48079 Jun 9 22:07 setup.bz2 > -r--r--r--1 bt bt 259072 Jun 10 06:35 setup.exe > -r--r--r--1 bt bt 183808 Jun 9 22:07 setup.exe.old > -r--r--r--1 bt bt 186186 Jun 9 22:07 setup.ini > dr-xr-xr-x2 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 03:03 tmp > dr-xr-xr-x2 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 09:41 utils > dr-xr-xr-x3 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 04:58 xfree > > As you can see it is all there and was downloaded just yesterday.

Re: non network install
As I mentioned earlier I was trying to help a friend without a network connection install it . But now I just want to know how it can be done as I was trying to make a Cygwin CD so that he could use it to install both binaries and sources when he pleases. With a fair bit of inconvienence (as neither of us have a car) , we finally got his computer to my place and installed it over the network. I did not have a windows OS on my own computer to be able to run setup and did not trust wine. Now let me give you a stronger reason why I think distributing software ONLY by network installs is a very bad idea. If you were a average working man in almost any other country other than america then as you may check for your self a high speed internet would be quite a pinch on your monthly salary. To many it would not even be affordable. So if you think about this a while, making network install the only option is in very bad taste. I mention this since you specifically asked . Now if you do see my point is sincere and a valid one, you should be wondering why is there so little documentation on the cygwin site on how to do this or why is it almost impossible to find a reasonably priced CD rom distribution being sold by anyone ?. What kind of a marketing strategy do you think RedHat had here when they specifically took over cygwin from the earstwhile Cygnus solutions? If anyone does know of such a CD Rom distribution of the Cywin product family (both source and binary) I would very happly buy one so that I could help many more people install it on their computers, in future, with greater ease. In the absence of such an alternative I was looking for how to build a CD Rom distribution myself but found hardly any information!! sincerely B.Thomas On Tue, Jun 10, 2003 at 07:41:18PM +0200, Andrew Markebo wrote: > / B Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > | Hi, > | I would be gratefull if you could help with the following problem: > | [...] > | So I mirrored a cygwin ftp archive and burned them onto a CD.

Re: non network install
We did try copying the CD contents to his harddrive to a directory in My Documents\temp\Cygwin\setup.exe(and other subdirectories) Then ran setup and specified that we wanted to install from "local disk" with path My Documents\temp\Cygwin\release. Even this gave the same errors as I originally posted. It was then we decided to make the effort to get his computer to my place. Please correct me if I am wrong but this seems to indicate the problem here was not that of the top level directory.

Hm, what makes you think that Cygwin can only be distributed via network installs? You yourself noted that all the packages were available for download via FTP.

Re: non network install
In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you very much for all your replies. Having the distribution in folder below the top one does indeed solve the problem. I wrote a bunch of tiny bash scripts to make the check dependencies and make the iso image for two CD's. I shall put up the scripts and detailed instructions on my web page this weekend. I will be gladly help in making the patch to the users manual too. I am familiar with TeX, LaTeX and HTML but not Texinfo. I shall try learning it , but that will take me time. If there is a posibility for converting LateX/Tex with Texinfo that would be great. However I would like to develop the scripts into a simple but effective program for making the images first. Here are some of my concerns with writing a program for making CD images, please do make suggetions as appropriate . Right now the way I have it set is that the entire distribution fits onto 2 CD's , except 1997 and 1998 mail-archives. I have tried to make these CD's so that all packages on CD 1 do not depend on any package on CD 2 . However packages in CD 2 may depend on CD 1. I did this as I was not sure how setup.exe would behave if it found unmet dependencies. I guess I could have deleted the older versions and unnecessary things like mail-archives so that it all fit on one CD. However personally I was disinclined to do this as I don't see why we must have such a restriction that the CD ROM distribution has to be one CD. Moreover Cywin is bound to grow. Also having older version may be a good idea since if there is a bug in a later version that is unacceptable to the user he may choose an older one. The way I am doing the dependency checking right now is not very satisfactory and would appreciate suggestions . I greped through the setup.hints files in each package directory , picked out the "requires" lines , appropriately edited it using sed , makeing a table which I saved in a file. I also have another file that is a table with two columns - one the package name (directory) and the other the CD to which it belong. A script then uses these two files to check dependencies of CD 1 are fullfilled within it . I am acutely aware that this is not the way to go so would like to build a portable and robust script that would able to do all of the above using just the ftp archive . I would like to be insensitive to changes in the ftp archive and be portable to atleast windows and linux . I am familiar with C, C++, Java , BASH , Fortran and would be willing tor try another language if appropriate. What do you think ? Also both dpkg, and rpm have very powerfull dependency checking engines so this seems like reinventing the wheel. Alternatively is it better to hack the setup.exe code to do all this. I haven't read the code so am not very sure if it is portable . sincerely B Thomas On Tue, Jun 10, 2003 at 06:26:26PM -0400, Larry Hall wrote: > B Thomas wrote: > >Hi, > >I did not mean to offend anyone.

Re: non network install
Here are the scripts I used, some explaination is also in another post to this thread : --- #!/bin/sh # Script to check the dependencies of packages in the Cygwin distribution # The script needs the file CDindex.txt and depends.txt in the same # directory as it is in, which must be the parent directory of the cywin # distribution (i.e. the parent of the ftp directory of cygwin) # The file CDindex.txt is created as described in duimage and the file # depends.txt is created by "grep"ing through the setup.hints file in # each packages directory and extracting lines with "requires" in them (some # manual editing was necessary to fix bugs caused by non standard # step.hints) # The output of this helps identify dependency problems . # USAGE: chkdepends [cd1 | cd2] # for item in `cat CDindex.txt | grep $1 | grep release | sed 's/^.*release\///'` do echo "Dependencies of package $item :" deps=`cat depends.txt | grep ^$item\: | sed 's/^.*requires\://'` for dep in $deps do cd=`cat CDindex.txt | grep ^.*release/$dep$ | sed 's/\.*$//'` echo "$dep - which is in $cd" done echo -e "\n" done - #!/bin/sh # Gives size of images of the Cygwin archive for CD burning # This uses a file CDindex.txt with directory listings to which a first column # has been added indicating the CD number to which the particular directory or # file must belong. # # USEAGE : ./duimage CD-NUMBER # Where CD-NUMBER may be any one of the numbers used in the first column of # CDindex.txt; this is written confirming to regular expression cd? in order # to be compatible with the provided scripts # # NOTE: # Depending on the format of the CDindex.txt file you may need to edit # this script so that FILES is a single list of all directory entries whose # image needs to be made.In particular the sed/grep script on the first # line may# need to be changed.

That is true, but it is far easier to install from a single CD. Cygwin does currently fit on a single CD. Michael Chase's clean_setup.pl (http://home.ix.netcom.com/~mchase/zip/) may help here: It can parse setup.ini and produce a list of urls to download, or move files around, subject to certain filters, including "not previous". > The way I am doing the dependency checking right now is not very > satisfactory and would appreciate suggestions .

However, if you want to try and make it so, go ahead :-) .

Non network install of Cygwin?
My organization supports two major United State federal government networks which are not connected to the Internet. Part of our support is maintaining an archive of software in which we place a variety of products, including software for evaluation. One of our users has requested that Cygwin be placed in our archive for use, but after reviewing the Cygwin site, I am unable to find a non-network install of the software. Is a non-network install version of Cygwin available? If so, we would like to add it to our Software Archives. We will be including both a copy of the licensing agreement and will list the address of your Internet web site, when we package it for distribution to our other networks. If a non-network install of Cygwin does not exist, please advice us as to what we here would have to do to make Cygwin viable for a variety of different users who access our archives. Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

Re: Non network install of Cygwin?
Jessica M. Sager wrote: install of the software. Is a non-network install version of Cygwin available? The setup.exe program linked on main page can download the entire distribution. You can then copy that distribution anywhere you want and use setup.exe to install on any non-networked machine. See http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html#id4675192 Basically choose Download from internet on one of the initial pages. Specify some directory to hold the sources, say cygwin-packages On the package list select the all radio button. The cygwin-packages directory will contain a setup.ini, and a directory named after the mirror site you downloaded from. Alternatively you can just rsync off of a mirror, and point setup.exe to that directory. For example, from ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin For a list of mirrors see http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html If you search the mailing list archives you should find more detailed discussion of how to do non-networked installs.
