Hi, i just installed latest 1.7.9-1 with setup.exe programm in WinXP Prof. I configured nothing so far. I ran startx -- -multiwindow -clipboard and it works, great!
To enable shared memory (MIT-SHM) I ran Anmeld@AAnmeldung ~ cygserver-config /usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 6: $'\r': command not found /usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 10: $'\r': command not found /usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 13: $'\r': command not found /usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `$'\r'' 'usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 14: `request() There seem to be DOS carriage returns in it. A little bug in 1.7.9-1 ? # cat cygserver-config | head -n 20 #!/bin/bash # # cygserver-config, Copyright 2003 Red Hat Inc. # # This file is part of the Cygwin DLL. # Directory where the config files are stored SYSCONFDIR=/etc LOCALSTATEDIR=/var progname=$0 auto_answer="" request() { if [ "${auto_answer}" = "yes" ] then echo "$1 (yes/no) yes" return 0 elif [ "${auto_answer}" = "no" ] okay, i run dos2unix cygserver-config on my linux machine (lenny). I copied cygserver-config back and it was running a little bit. I asked me whether I want to run cygserver as service, I answered "yes" the the script prompts: "line 176: cygrunsrv not existing" And indeed, cygrunsrv is not delivered in my installtion. Is 1.7.9-1 alpha status? - Why is this version advised for download and install? Where can I get a running version? How can I delete the installed version? - Deleting c:\cygwin directory? thx Ekkard -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
