Here is an update of the test website for warming up a bit more http://www4.in.tum.de/~wenzelm/test/website/

I've spent this cold and wet weekend to produce a monolitic Windows application, which bundles both JDK and Cygwin 1.7.9, see the Download page. (Cygwin 1.7.9 is important here, because in the later version from this year Poly/ML multithreading is a bit unstable.)

I use Windows XP on VirtualBox. I downloaded the "Isabelle_23-Apr-2012.exe" file, moved it to my home directory. Then I started "Isabelle.exe" and waited over a minute but nothing happened.

I suppose here that the self-extracting Isabelle_23-Apr-2012.exe archive did extract correctly, to something like 850 MB directory structure?


Then I tried

   ./bin/isabelle tty

but got the message 'Unknown logic "HOL" -- no heap file found in: /cygdrive/c/.../heaps/polyml-undefined_x86-cygwin ...".

Could it be due to Cygwin somehow? I don't know how to launch a terminal for Cygwin 1.7.9, so I'm still using the old terminal for whatever version of Cygwin I had on the machine already.

Your existing Cygwin is probably relatively old, such that the poly.exe cannot be started and produce the required version; cf. the "undefined" above.

Starting a terminal for the bundled Isabelle Cygwin now works, but I did not update the 7zip SFX yet. You can do it via http://www4.in.tum.de/~wenzelm/test/website/dist/Isabelle_23-Apr-2012_bundle_x86-cygwin.tar.gz by untarring that with the existing Cygwin. Then the directory structure can be access via Windows the standard way.

There are now Cygwin-Terminal and Cygwin-Setup batch files to be clicked on, which hopefully do the job.


You might still have to do a manual incantation from cmd.exe:

  ...\contrib\cygwin-1.7.9\bin\ash -c /bin/rebaseall

This maintenance step requires all Cygwin stuff to be off.
