I was quite desperate to get this going, and it seems I succeeded (well copied somebodies else’s work)
So in case somebody is curious, I’ll give a summary of what I did: 1. Follow slavishly these instructions: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Windows/SSHD This was quite tricky for me as I still have to think which shell to use to be able to do what. So I was switching between msys-shell, msys-shell as Windows Administrator, Windows-shell as Administrator (for nets-command, and - after cd-ing into cygwin/bin - for editrights), and I even changed some user settings in Computer Management/User-Group settings). I am sure there must be a more efficient way, but hey that’s how it worked for me. 2. That is not enough though. I had to add myself as user in /etc/passwd the way it is done in above instructions for the users cyg_server and sshd (maybe it can be done differently, but that’s how it worked for me). If you add the user like it is proposed there - I guess - the new msys user is linked to the Windows account (and the implicit rights) of the same name. I hope that doesn’t have negative side effects for msys. The author of above steps probably had added himself in the past and then forgotten that this step is necessary. Ah, and: the last two entries in that new password-line must not point to empty, but to your home-folder /home/username and your shell interpreter: /bin/bash Haha, now I can work on my Mac and have a door to a unixy Windows development system, very cool! And the sshd autostarts on Windows reboot! Hey, we want ‘editrights' in msys2!! I can’t wait to delete that cygwin folder from my machine :D Best .r. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Msys2-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/msys2-users
