You have to do whatever it is that you do to cause the problem.
The mirror has been updated (I created the tar files in a way that made
them unreadable by setup earlier but that's fixed now) so you should be
able to install as normal.

OK, I reload all and do a new install (it will take a little time as I 
do not have a really fast connection). I'll let you know when it is 
finished.

Igor, it was grabbing the wrong packages from Xfree.
It was grabbing full packages, xfree-bin comes to mind, as that was the only
one it picked up on.
Bobby
BTW it was straight out off the net, full, all users, unix.

Ok.  I guess I've lost track of who's doing what.  I didn't realize

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only

Christopher,
I'm not understanding really well what to do (you know my proficiency in 
english is not so perfect as to understand really everything). I 
understand that you think that to open for writing a name where the 
directory do no exist could provoke problems. It would explain the non 
blocking exception (am I right ?) that occurs and loops indefinitely (is 
it what you think ?). What of the fact that the error occurs only after 
being able to write a given number of file in this directory (around ten 
files where created) ? what of the fact that when you do not install 
only one file before (like cron) you are able to write one more file in 
this directory ? I'm not sufficiently proficient in the cygwin coding to 
answer these questions.

So my work is to begin a new complete install with the new packages. Do 
I have to reload all of them ? only xorg related packages ?

What I intend to do is begin again the first test described under with 
the reloaded x11 files. Is it what you want ?

---
To summarize what I did when testing and the problems I saw (I do that 
not only for repeating but also to have all the datas on only one mail)

1/ complete test
I have a local version of all the cygwin distro (got at mirrors.sunsite.dk)
I begin by deleting my cygwin root on the disk but not the entries of 
the registry
I launch setup selecting everything

Arriving at the file:
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README
setup enters a loop delivering the log message one after the other 
indefintely (view through ollydbg)


LOG : 1 Installing file 
cygfile:///usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README for 
writing
LOG : 2  failed too open 
cygfile:///usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README for 
writing
.

The second message is issued through an exception
You can see two things increasing with the same speed, the memory 
consumed and the handlers.
when cancelled, the message issued by setup is

"cannot open log file c:\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing"
another box opens but disappear too fast for me to give you the message
With this test, no setup.log is created at all
This test has been conducted with these different changes:
I changed the rights of the /var directory with chmod a+w with no effect 
(because of the absence of setup)
I changed the TEMP and TMP variables values (erasing blanks of the names)

2/ successive setup
I conducted a first setup without X11 and a second with only X11 .It 
worked fine with setup.log created

3/ complete test with one file (cron) not installed
The behaviour is exactly the same as in first test with only the file on 
which it stopped as a difference. That is t loops on the next file to write:

xorg-x11-fsrv-6.8.1.0.README
---
Well, perhaps I forgot something but no one is perfect :-)

Nope.  It's possible to create files that aren't readable/writeable by the
"Administrators" group.  Being in "Administrators" allows you to take
ownership of the files or change the mode on them, but AFAIK that's not
done in the course of a normal write.

So, Bruno, could you periodically check:

FWIW, http://mirrors.rcn.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/release/X11/xorg-x11-fscl/

I'm thinking that there is something odd about setup's handing of files
in directories which have not been explicitly created in the tar
archive.  That's why I was asking if c:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin
existed.  It didn't seem like the tar archive was creating it
specifically.

I don't know why this would affect some people but not others, though.
When I install cygwin from scratch in a base install + all X packages
selected, I don't see this.  So maybe this is a red herring.

Anyway, to the end of confirming my theory, I have (I HOPE) regenerated
all of the X11 files in the distribution and made sure that directory
creation precedes filename creation in every case.  I haven't bumped the
version numbers, though, since this is purely a cosmetic change.

This change will take a while to hit mirrors since many files were
affected but if you check that a mirror contains files with today's
date, then it is worth trying a full install to see if your problem
mysteriously goes away.

So, Bruno, could you periodically check:

ftp://mirrors.sunsite.dk/pub/cygwin/release/X11/xorg-x11-fscl/

wait until the file xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0-2.tar.bz2 shows
today's date, and then try your test case again to see if it
hangs?  I think that setup.exe should do the right thing and
download the changed files but, if it doesn't, you'll have to
delete them from your disk.

As far as handles are concerned, I don't think that there is any upper
limit on the number that can be allocated.  The only limitation is 32
bits and the amount of available memory.  It seems like people are
hitting this limit if they allow setup to run long enough.

Gerrit,
I was thinking of something. I would be surprised that my test with 
different TMP variables could work because they work for all the 
packages before. Could it be more something like trying to open more 
than the permitted number of files ? when trying at this step to open 
one more handler, setup would fail go into a continuable exception not 
releasing the memory associated with this corrupted handler and trying 
again consuming memory ?

Is it ridiculous ?

ok I've done it, it did not work. I'll try something else. I will remove 
one and only one unitary package in order to see if I block on the same 
file. If not I will assume my hypothesis based on the number of file 
opened could be a good one.

Gerrit,
I was thinking of something. I would be surprised that my test with 
different TMP variables could work because they work for all the 
packages before. Could it be more something like trying to open more 
than the permitted number of files ? when trying at this step to open 
one more handler, setup would fail go into a continuable exception not 
releasing the memory associated with this corrupted handler and trying 
again consuming memory ?

Is it ridiculous ?

will do as asked but I'm inside the debug session of ollydbg on the 
problem point. As I do not know really well the tool I did not find at 
this point how to associate the src files so ... I'm using the assmbly 
code and beside the setup source code.

From this point I will do another run n ten to twenty mns using the new 
def of tmp and temp.

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only

following the work I can say there are two messages and that they are 
issued in the logFile.cc file of setup and thee messages are numbered :

first : "LOG : 1 Installing file cygfile"
second "LOG : 2 (see my last mail)"
hope that helps

Hmm, the fact that it attempts to reinstall packages, coupled with the

whether your Cygwin directory tree is writable by the user that performs

Fresh install... how fresh is fresh?  Maybe there remains some registry

My suspicion is that the one whom I asked to install cygwin did

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only

Last experiment,
I use the ollydbg tool in order to begin to see what is the problem 
inside setup. It traps also the debug messae of setup and one ofit 
consists of saying (as it is given by this tool) :

"failed too open 
cygfile:///usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README for 
writing"

I'm examining the tool in order to know how to associate the src files 
to the debug tool. As it is a little long to do any experiment it will 
tae me a little time to gie more infos.

I also joined again the cygcheck. I verified it is exactly the same 
running the setup or not (only the time of it)

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only

(As I had problems sending this mail, you'll receive it as the last one, 
excuse me, there is only the setup.log, before you have the three last 
compressed part of the setup full and after the first part)

Good morning this time,
Ok I'm here again.
The situation.
The problem occurs when I do a complete install of cygwin. It blocks 
every time on the same load (see before). Wen cancelling, no setup.log 
is created (I think it is normal as there is no post install made).
If after this first failed install I do a setup with only the X11 
package there, then it goes to the end of install and here is the 
setup.log  and  the first of four compressed part of a setup.log.full 
(because of the size as you know). Following, the last three part.

Hmmm. what I did was to install cygwin without any xorg. After the
successful installation, I installed the xorg packages (as specified in
the xorg-base README) via setup once again. IIRC, I do not remember
clicking the buttons that would change the install versions.

(which means you've downgraded xorg-x11-lib-data). It also shows that
the
following postinstall scripts ran:

xorg-x11-devel.sh
xorg-x11-f100.sh
xorg-x11-fcyr.sh
xorg-x11-fenc.sh
xorg-x11-fnts.sh
xorg-x11-fscl.sh
xorg-x11-libs-data.sh
xorg-x11-xwin.sh
which is odd, since you didn't reinstall xorg-x11-xwin or
xorg-x11-f100 or
xorg-x11-fnts. The previous run clearly shows setup installing
xorg-x11-f100 and running the postinstall script for that package, so it
should have renamed it to .done and not re-run it.
I did install xorg *after* installing cygwin minus xorg.

Hmm, the fact that it attempts to reinstall packages, coupled with the
fact that it's not renaming postinstall scripts properly, makes me wonder
whether your Cygwin directory tree is writable by the user that performs
the install. This would also be consistent with the "Cannot open
c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log for writing" message that others reported.
Igor

I was logged as a user under the administrator's group when I did the install.
I've gotten hold of the WinXP SP2 Machine now, on line! I'll uninstall everything and try to reproduce the error once more.

I'll run ps and cygcheck at the point where it stalls and provide as much
detail as possible.
Thanks!

It seems like you have a lot of XFree86 packages still installed.
I have a couple of these in my installation but certainly not the
number that I see above.

I guess I'm a little confused now as to who's seeing what problem.
I thought that you needed a clean install to duplicate this but the
above obviously didn't come from a clean install.

Igor, are you up to posting a summary of who's seen what problem and
who's provided the requested feedback (setup.log, ps -ef, cygcheck)?

Carlo,
What did you do, exactly, on the last setup run?  The log file shows that
you installed the following packages:
startup-notification-0.7-1
transfig-3.2.4-2
xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1.0-1

xorg-x11-man-pages-html-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-nest-6.8.1.0-1
xorg-x11-vfb-6.8.1.0-1
(which means you've downgraded xorg-x11-lib-data).  It also shows that the
following postinstall scripts ran:
xorg-x11-devel.sh
xorg-x11-f100.sh
xorg-x11-fcyr.sh
xorg-x11-fenc.sh
xorg-x11-fnts.sh
xorg-x11-fscl.sh
xorg-x11-libs-data.sh
xorg-x11-xwin.sh
which is odd, since you didn't reinstall xorg-x11-xwin or xorg-x11-f100 or
xorg-x11-fnts.  The previous run clearly shows setup installing
xorg-x11-f100 and running the postinstall script for that package, so it
should have renamed it to .done and not re-run it.
Hmm, the fact that it attempts to reinstall packages, coupled with the
fact that it's not renaming postinstall scripts properly, makes me wonder
whether your Cygwin directory tree is writable by the user that performs
the install.  This would also be consistent with the "Cannot open
c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log for writing" message that others reported.

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only

Igor,
I've tried to chmod directly the var directory thinking it could be the 
answer but it does not work. I block on the same file and that's all. I 
don't think sending you another cygcheck is really necessary. I'll find 
a way to follow what's going on in the setup app. Perhaps you have ideas ?

This setup.log doesn't show any install actions whatsoever.  All it shows
is that you've downloaded a bunch of packages.
I suspect this may have something to do with that "Cannot open setup.log
for writing" error message.  Try running "c:\cygwin\bin\chmod a+w
setup.log setup.log.full" from a CMD prompt in "c:\cygwin\var\log" and
then re-running setup.  Also, setup.log.full should contain more detailed
error messages after a failed setup run (beware -- that file is
overwritten on every run of setup).

Igor,
I've no setup.log created in /var/log in fact what I sent you was 
bullshit as it is only the result of my dowload as I see it (first time

Result is that there is no file in /var/log. Can be a real clue.

What's wrong with ?  It's the first link
("Reporting Problems") in the "Community" section of the sidebar on most
Cygwin pages, and the 5th overall link in that sidebar.  How much more
prominent should it be?

There's also a section on the main Cygwin webpage that describes this code
of conduct you mention ().  It's where the
"Help, contact, web page, other info..." link at the top of the main page
points to.

Hi!
1) Cygwin is not a commercial set up , we do not pay support fees, we do 
not even pay for Cygwin.

2) We accept red hat owns the IP
3) The "developers & supporters" are volunteers, they do not HAVE to be 
nice and have the "customer is always right" approach as opposed to some of 
us in the commercial world.

4) They receive many many calls, they answer then briefly even abruptly, 
but they answer them.

5) Any developer knows that maintaining any product requires careful 
diligent thoughts and processes AND TIME

So just be patient and appreciative.

Just run the programs directly from the cygwin directory:

c:\cygwin\bin\ps -ef > blah2

Also, I believe that Gerrit suggested sending the contents of the setup

strace is for cygwin programs.  setup.exe is not a cygwin program.  It
can't be.  Requiring cygwin1.dll to install cygwin1.dll would never work.

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only


Is there some reason why you won't just run cygcheck.exe while setup is
hung?  Have you tried it?  AFAIK, cygcheck should be operational by the
time setup has gotten to installing X.  It really has to be operational
since cygcheck.exe comes along with the Cygwin DLL.
Also, you could even run, oh I don't know, it's just a pretty drastic

In fact I did not use ps -ef (and cygcheck by the the way) for two reasons:
1/ I was following what happened with the windows task manager tool 
(where I followed the memory consumption)
2/ At this step of the install, you do not have the .bat or .sh command

I was wondering, if I launch setup.exe from my first installed cygwin on 
another directory using strace, will there be interactions between the 
old and new install ? Is it possible to have two completely different

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only

Good evening from france,
I bought a new box some days ago and decided to install cygwin. I had 
exactly the same install problem than the other people of the list. My 
computer is a win xp family edition sp2. I have the administrator rights 
and installed using the "just me" and "unix" options. What I saw is that 
the process was not blocked but reserved more and more memory (I stopped 
at 1Go). when cancelled, setup gave me the message indicated on a post 
before. I will try in some mns to install again (a fresh install, I 
removed all by hand after my  attempts) without the xorg package in 
order to obtain a cygcheck command to give you new informations plus I 
will reinstall these xorg packages.

By the way, I do not understand the debate (?). Your work is great, 
really. I use cygwin and cygwin-xfree since beta 15. Whatever the 
problems, unavoidable on such projects, your accomplishments are totally 
extraordinary. For my part, I consider that whatever you ask me to do to 
help I have only one choice but to do it.

Thank you again

It's not an unreasonable expectation especially given the lunacy of
insulting someone whose help you are soliciting.

I have currently two machines for testing:
Win2k SP4
WinXP SP2 running on VmWare

Both are at work. The compilation and release building is done on the
Win2k host. At home I have no decent machine to test the xserver. Only
a 500MHz linux box where I can cross compile and test the xserver in a
pain slow VmWare win2k. I'd like to add a machine dedicated for windows
to make debugging less painful. But where should I take the money from?
I spend a lot of time for the project. Should I also spend the money
I saved? I don't think so. And everytime someone speaks up and tells
me I'm not doing the work right I even think spending the time may be
wrong.

Even a simple bugfix is a lot of work. For example the Lucida font were
missing because of a regression in the makefiles. Identifying the error
took me about 2 or 3 hours. This I could do at home. For building the
packages I had to go to the office. Just building the package, verifying
it worked, uploading it and writing the announcement took about 90 minutes.
And if you check the sending time of the announcement you'll notice it was
sent Friday night, around 23:00. I don't expect people to send me flowers
for my work. But I expect them not to insult me in complete disregard of
the amount of time I invest in the project.

It was also mentioned I (and other regulars) could answer mails more polite
and tell the user which information I need to track the error down.

There was a time when the xserver just quit on error and left a log file.
Users just told us the xserver did not work. We told them there was an error
and asked them to send the logfile.
After all we added a message box which told the user there was an error and
the logfile may contain more information. Now there are still users who
send mails telling us there was a message box popping up and XWin does not
work. No information what the logfile told. The standard (and maybe rough)
answer is "send the logfile".
There are many examples where I'm just tired of telling the same thing over
and over again.

The timestamp on setup.ini is fine.  Either you are misinterpreting it

I've installed it on a test machine in VMWare with WinXP SP2 (nearly fresh
system: Installed as XP, upgraded to SP1, upgraded to SP2. No installed 
software except for drivers) and had no problems

Selected install from net (user/global, unix/dos left as defaults).
Mirror: local mirror from mirrors.kernel.org
Default package selection + all xorg-x11-*

Firewall is enabled (default settings)

Not being able to reproduce a problem makes it a pain to solve it.

Of course, I use always setup.exe.  It was a reinstallation which 
indicates that it works well before at least one time.  I cannot install 
a fresh XP.  Maybe you need to turn off the firewall?  I don't know, I 
have deactivated every new feature which comes with SP2 because I'm an 
adminstrator, I don't need a dummy user software firewall which does 
nothing else but prevent me fromn accessing my network.  We use hardware

Hmmm, another problem?  Anyway, no cygcheck output.
There are some useful bits, at least in your posting where is clearly 
stated that it is not a specific package.

However there was no cygcheck output, all reports about nearly the same 
issue.  I cannot reproduce it.  I have a different problem now myself, 
but at first some historical notes. At my first setup.exe run with 
XP/SP2 it  crashed, I tracked it down myself after nobody was able to 
help, it was some dubious M$ software installed, I removed it, cleaned 
the registry and now it works.  Well, now I get an error when a 
preremove/postinstall script should be executed: ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, 
which indicates that XP refuses setup.exe to access parts of the 
filesystem, ie. it was a problem with cron.sh, running from the command 
line works well.  It is simply a problem with the ACL on this system (I 
have XP Pro).  I have not figured out what the problem is now.  Funny 
thing is that I always have another new problem when running setup on XP 
and I have never problems when running on W2K or NT4.

I suggest we should all go to the local XP dealer and complain!
Get the money back. Your local dealer will not be that friendly as he 
was the day when you bought the system, but maybe he has an old copy of 
W2K lying around, pay the same price, no problem, W2K is better.

Why don't you send the output of cygcheck -srv as an attachment?
I wish we could do that before or while running setup.exe .
Nope, it is completely sufficient when you install a cygwin base system 
and run `cygcheck -svr > cygcheck.out` and send it as an attachment.

What is in the Eventlog?  Do you have XP Home or XP Pro, is there an 
Eventlog at all at XP Home?  We really need more information and you 
have the error and should help to collect this informations.

At least for the archives, when we figure out what the problem is we can 
introduce features in cygcheck to check for these issues, but we need to 
know the reason of the problem.

Maybe your mount table is broken?  Maybe your XP/SP2 is broken?
3-4 people have been reporting this problem. Maybe their XP all are broken.
XP has many new features, figure out what they have published about SP2, 
turn off all the useless security fuzz.

Why are you not providing more information?
Problem is users don't know what "more information" develpers want. Developers 
got to ask (or demand, whatever) from users.

would be a lot easier if users could do so.

Did you *read* what Bobby said about Alexander?  Why didn't you jump to
Alexander's defense if you respect him so much?

Or does being a user of free software does give someone the right to
insult a developer?  That seems pretty one-sided to me.

You somehow think that there is a flow of obligation going from me to
you?  You're very wrong.  You are benefitting from my efforts and
Alexander's efforts.  I am not benefitting from your efforts in any way.

That is not true of some users here who are capable of sending bug
reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating.  Since
I care about cygwin, I do appreciate when people can provide feedback
without whining and without insulting the people who have donated their
time to help them.

You have no rights here.  Sorry.

>It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all.

Sorry, but that is simple-minded pap.  How can you judge what someone's
"best" is?  So, if I can't give cygwin 100% of my effort, I should just
abandon it?  Ridiculous.

>There are people who can do better or have done better as Bobby

>you also have to listen to criticism.

Whining about how no one is helping you and suggesting that the old regime
did it better is not criticism.  It is complaining.  The difference should
be pretty obvious.

>All can be constructive depends on how you look at it and how
>open-minded you are.  You shouldn't tell your users to come do what

And, you shouldn't invent scenarios to make your point.  No one said
anything about telling users to "do what (I'm) doing".

>That reminds me of politicians in some third-world countries.  You

Funny, but your email reminds me a lot of a campaign speech, short on
specifics, long on emotion.

>They are not as genius as you otherwise they wouldn't be here asking
>for help.

I think you may have missed the fact that I was responding mainly
to Bobby's insult.  My message was specifically targetted to someone
with whom I've interacted for years.  I have no idea who you are or
why you take insult at a message which was not directed to you.

>In fact I even gave more information.  Like, the error points were
>different between archives from different mirror sites.

Again, you seem to be missing the fact that I was responding to Bobby,
not you.  However, since you raise the point, let me say that this
probably isn't very useful data either.  Neither setup.exe nor X are my
responsibility but I can't imagine how the fact that something dies
differently given different mirror sites would be useful data unless
you rigorously tested each mirror site and verified that this isn't
just something random.  But, that's probably just my genius talking.

Anyway, I think that's about as much as I care to respond to.

Just as an observation, no matter how right you think you are, it's hard
to see how any logical person would expect quality help from people who
they have maligned.

"You're a slimy politician who won't listen to criticism and who should
either be doing a better job or resign."

"Please help me."

Pretty funny.

Again, for the record, neither setup problems nor X problems are my
responsibility.  I just step in when I see people being personally
insulting towards one of the people who have donated their time to help
them.

I'm about to say something that surely is going to upset some people here. Try 
not to get mad at me anyway. Warning: if you are not open-minded kind of 
person, 
you're advised to skip everyting below.

This issue was first reported by Bobby McNulty on 03/11. Then on 04/11 Ling F. 
Zhang reported the same problem and said he was the third one to report the 
problem although I still can't find that second one. Ling asked the same 
question again on 06/11 providing some more information. I posted the same 
question on 06/11 confirming the issue and providing quite detailed information 
(I think). All these were in cygwin section. Now you can count how many people 
had been having this problem. Nobody was interested in the issue until Bobby 
spoke up yesterday. I think what he said was perfectly all right and 
reasonable. 
I myself have also been waiting for this setup issue to be resolved before I 
install Cygwin on this new computer. I last installed Cygwin in Dec 2003 and 
I've just got a new computer and installed a fresh clean Windows XP and want to 
install the latest Cygwin in full. I don't want to skip the X part and install 
it manually afterwards as I have no idea if that would do exactly the same 
thing. The setup.exe should do the installation job properly.

As for what our two develpers said, I do respect them for what they do for us 
but I wouldn't tell my users to shut up like that. Being a volunteer doing 
things for people for free doesn't give you the right to do that. You need the 
users and the users need you. It is simple, you either do it your best or you 
don't do it at all. There are people who can do better or have done better as 
Bobby implied. You should listen to what users have to say. Not just praise you 
also have to listen to criticism. All can be constructive depends on how you 
look at it and how open-minded you are. You shouldn't tell your users to come 
do 
what you're doing if they think they can do better. That reminds me of 
politicians in some third-world countries. You should have done better in this 
case. You should ask for more information from users instead of assuming 
everyone knows what information they should provide or telling them to shut up 
when they don't do what you think they should do. They are not as genius as you 
otherwise they wouldn't be here asking for help. What Bobby and Carlo reported 
yesterday and today are the same thing I already reported 3 days ago. In fact I 
even gave more information. Like, the error points were different between 
archives from different mirror sites. That post of mine was cited in yesterday 
posts did anyone take a look at it before asking Bobby for more information? He 
also mentioned 4 people had been complaining did anyone check those posts by 
those 4 people? Also I had no idea you could do "ps -ef" while installing 
Cygwin.

Now, I think that's more than enough to get myself flamed for today. Feel free

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only

2004-11-08 Thread Carlo Florendo

Thank you all for the replies.  I'm sorry but it seems that I wasn't 
cc'd for all messages (I mentioned I'm not part of the Cygwin/XFree ML).
So, I just replied to my original message.  (Sorry if this breaks the 
thread.)

So, I've just checked the ML website and read up to the one of Bobby Mc 
Nulty's message on 09 Nov 2004:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-11/msg00031.html

In any case, I am not able to replicate the problem now since I'm on 
Win2K SP4.  The problem only appears to be on WinXP SP2.  I'm sorry I'm 
not providing anything useful (e.g. No ps -ef nor cygcheck output) since 
I won't be able to get hold of the WinXP SP2 machine now.  I'll probably
be able to do it, but off-line.

The post last 04 Nov 2004, 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00167.html,
says that xorg stalled via setup on a WinXP SP2.  I don't know if 
there's a correlation.

In any case, the issue with setup is that it doesn't install the 
dependencies of xorg-base.  I installed cygwin without the X and
afterwards, installed xorg-base (since that is what the Cygwin/XFree 
site says).
However, only the script files get installed.  (I'll post a message to
the cygwin-list).  I got everything working after installing (via setup) 
the dependencies listed on the xorg README file.

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Carlo

Hello Cygwin/XFree gurus,
I've installed cygwin on a WinXP SP2 machine and setup looped forever up 
to the point when it was post-installing the xorg applications.   I got 
99% done.

This issue has been discussed last week only as started by these 2 
separate threads of messages:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00214.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00253.html
However, the issue has not been resolved.
Then, I uninstalled everything and re-installed cygwin any *without* 
selecting anything from the X11 category.  All went well!

Then, I just thought of installing the X apps manually.
The front page of the cygwin/xfree website says that:
"Cygwin/X is installed via Cygwin's setup.exe and the installation 
process is documented in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Whether or not you 
already have Cygwin installed, you can add Cygwin/X to your installation 
by downloading the latest setup.exe, running setup, and selecting the 
'xorg-x11-base' package from the 'X11' category."

However, selecting only the xorg-x11-base package would install only:
  /usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-base-6.8.1.0.README
  /etc/profile.d/00xorg-x11-base.csh
  /etc/profile.d/00xorg-x11-base.sh
Thus, it would probably be better to update the main page such that it 
wouldn't be misleading.  (Other users might think only xorg-X11-base 
should be installed since that is what the website says.)

The README file contains the needed package dependencies so once could 
follow from that.  However, not everyone reads the README.

You may want to add something like this after the paragraph quoted above:
"Once you have installed the 'xorg-x11-base' package, open your 
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-base-.README
file and install (via setup) the package dependencies listed there."

In any case, any hints on why installing xorg fails?
Please include me on the cc since I do not subscribe to the cygwin/xfree 
list.  Thanks!

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Carlo

Alex, I think the problem is with setup.  Because when setup gets to
the fontserver, where 4 people are complaining so far, it stalls on a
readme file.
   

It works fine for me.  Just tried it.

Bobby, either provide useful information or just shut up.  Telling

Do me a favor and don't even respond to this email.  Either provide some

OK Chris, here it is. The full report. Complete down to the readme file 
that it is hanging at.
Cygwin setup is at 97%
it says install xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0-2
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README

its in a contiuous loop, not gettiing past this point.

Wish me luck.
And I will take you up on your offer, once Cygwin is installed with 
xorg, to help you improve it.
Sorry for the insult, but under Harolld, he would have everything tested 
on different machines and configurations. I'm running Windows XP 
professional with Service Pack #2. Find out what the others are using.
