I wanted to install some version which is working. Gcc-4 didn't run due to error above, and I didn't find a way to install gcc-5 without GUI. I thought that it's related to gcc-5 because of https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-09/msg00282.html And before upload of gcc-5 to the archive, gcc-4 was working fine when installed this way (just gcc-g++, without explicit libisl10) >> Is there some way to specify on command line: >> * which version of which package I want to install, >> * or to enable installation of test versions? > > not that I am aware of. > This would enable me to install gcc-5, which is another way to workaround problem of a non-working gcc-4.

Huh, this explanation is really well hidden in FAQ ;) I've already figured it out, but setfacl -b wasn't a cure in my case. Cygwin implementation is missing two important options: -h (do not follow symbolic links) -R (recursive) Second one is not a biggie, but this tool simply can't modify cygwin symlink files (and I have hundreds of them scattered throughout work folders). I've fixed my folders by doing a copy of them inside 1.7.29 shell. Old cygwin automatically created appropriate permissions for every file, ignoring messy inherited ACL entries that I had in my work folders. But there is another catch. Using new cygwin, you can't really create folders that you intend to use in cygwin via windows explorer (which was never a problem). They will get ACL entries (inherited from top level folder C:\ for example) with +x rights, and cygwin will pass these additional entries to any file created inside that folder. Well, you get smarter every day ;) Cheers Michal -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: strange cygwin sshd user generated (user name includes machine name)
After a little bit more digging, I think the cygwin name is coming from the output of getent here: https://cygwin.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-csih.git;a=blob;f=cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh;h=10ab4fb6d47803c9ffabdde51923fc2c3f0496bb;hb=7ca191bebb52ae414bb2a2e37ef22d94f2658dc7#l2705 At this point, I’m not sure what causes getent to return different values when run in automation, and when run manually. I wonder if there is some kind of race condition, such that some subsystem is still updating at the point I install cygwin sshd. For reference, this is the powershell script, see lines 77 onwards: https://hg.mozilla.org/try/file/4905af7c52e5/testing/taskcluster/worker_types/win2012r2/aws_userdata Thanks!

strange cygwin sshd user generated (user name includes machine name)
Hi, I have a powershell script for installing cygwin and setting up sshd which I am using as UserData when firing up a Windows 2012 R2 instance in AWS EC2. The same command succeeds when run manually, but fails when called from automation. I’m trying to understand what it is that is different, so I can fix it in automation. The command called is: ssh-host-config -y -c 'ntsec mintty' -u 'cygwinsshd' -w 'qwe123QWE!@#' When I run manually, logged in as Administrator, I get a log line like this (notice the correct “Cygwin name”): *** Query: Create new privileged user account 'WIN-EFPDIM0SAUP\cygwinsshd' (Cygwin name: ‘cygwinsshd')?

Regression with gnu screen: Scrollbar gone between 4.02 and 4.03
To reproduce: 1) Update screen package to current (4.03) version; 2) Run screen inside mintty; 3) Generate enough text to fill the screen and start scrolling 4) Click in the scrollbar, or use the mousewheel Desired effect Scrolling Observed effect Nothing, wrt scrollbar; history review, wrt mousewheel Reverting to 4.02 fixes the problem. Expermentation suggests this does _not_ arise because of the small change in the default screenrc between 4.02 and 4.03, as just reverting that change does not solve the problem, and reverting to the 4.02 .exe _does_ solve the problem regardless of which screenrc is used. mintty version 2.1.5, Cygwin1.dll 2.2.1, 64-bit ht -- Henry S.
