I'd done two things wrong and I'm not sure whether either or both of them were responsible for my problems. However, I'll flag them both up in case it's worth amending the instructions. Firstly, here are the instructions that I followed:-
http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/ There's a step missing between 5 and 6 and another step missing between 6 and 7. Between 5 and 6, you need to perform the actual download (the instructions create the impression that it's only necessary to *select* the required files and then proceed to step 6). Between 6 and 7 you need to close any running Cygwin apps (for example, the Cygwin terminal where you just typed in the long shell command). If you don't do this, step 7 starts but it bombs out half way through because cygwin1.dll is already in use by another process. Sometimes you get a warning dialog about this but SOMETIMES YOU DON'T. You can think that everything completed normally when in fact, it didn't. The second mistake I made was when typing the long shell command. If you type it in manually, you need to leave a space between the backslash (at the end of the first line) and the following quotation mark. I didn't - but I don't know whether or not that contributed to my problems. John P,S. It might also be worth mentioning whether the long shell command is a *one time* operation or whether it needs to be done every time you install using the local download. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Cygwin-ports-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cygwin-ports-general
