1.5.25-7: make -v command does not work
Hello, I cannot make the make command to work in cygwin. When I type make -v to get its version number it returns nothing, it simply goes back to the command prompt as shown below. bash-3.2$ make -v bash-3.2$ I would appreciate any suggestion on what I can do to get it to work please. I've enclosed the output from cygcheck -r -s -v. I've also googled the problem, looked at the cygwin mailing list archives and read the documentation with no success. Other commands such as gcc --version work. I also have the same problem with perl in cygwin but I'll deal with that later. Let me know if you need any more information.

You didn't, but I'm confused now. Why would the code that uses execve to
spawn a Cygwin console process NOT pop up a console window? Even if the
parent is compiled with -mwindows, if the app needs a console, one would
be created, wouldn't it?

Ugh. ENOCOFFEE. fhandler_console::need_invisible() takes care of it. So
run.exe can be changed to use execve even in CVS HEAD.
Sorry for the noise.

Cygwin install hangs at end every time
I first encountered this problem months ago while trying to add the xwindows packages to my cygwin isntall - the installer would hang in the middle. I deleted all the cygwin files a few days ago and tried again, with the same problem. It doesn't matter which host I pick to download from, the result is the same. So I tried again - deleted the cygwin directory and this time I just installed the basic package. At the end, it hangs up, never creates any icons or batch file from which to launch cygwin. I'm using the latest setup.exe from cygwin.com - Joel -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

RE: Getting 'Bad file descriptor' error with 1.5.24-2

Sorry, I reactivate this thread
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-03/msg00029.html) but I have exactly the same

Sorry for the bad formatting, etc.
I'm not reproducing this here. Do you have any rogue antivirus, webcam,
or other buggy driver that might be interfering with normal cygwin
operation?
No, in fact this machine just had the OS installed. Nothing crazy but Cygwin
and a few compilers. It has a copy of symantec coporate AV installed on it
(due to company policy) but it is always disabled.
At worst, you could run the entire operation under strace, to
see if that pinpoints which invocation of bash is failing on dup2.
Okay, I'll give that a shot when I have some time.
Maybe this will lead to a
smaller reproducible case.

Graphicks Magic on Vista?

What I have done is to: Go to: /etc/postinstall Look for scripts that don't look like *.sh.done; rather they look like *.sh. Create a directory '_Save.joel'. The extension is to remind you that you and not 'setup.exe' or some Cygwin script created it. The '_' is to ensure that 'ls' lists it at the top (reducing the chances you will forget about it). Move the first (alphabetically) non-'.done' script into the directory. Try running setup.exe again, ... If you have to, reinstall all (some? one?) the apps after (alphabetically) the one(s) you moved into '_Save.joel'. Three apps that I and others have had problems with are: * gnuplot * grepmail * postinstall-ec-fonts-mftraced This may not be the official or even a very good way to solve this problem. All I know is it worked for me, when nothing else did, and when all other advice went over my head. Are you running Vista? These kinds of problems seem to be more common with Vista, at least in my experience.
