Re: How to install cygwin new if there was an old installation or something like that
A bad mirror is always a potential problem. From the nearest servers, I choose by sympathy. Erlangen is the city where my parents studied and met each other, so this was my preferred server. Now I couldn't find a server very near my location so I chose Vienna, because I like the music from the local musicians ...

BTW: Why can I reach Uni-erlangen with an old setup.exe on a different computer, but not with an current version? regards, Dani -- 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/
How to install cygwin new if there was an old installation or something like that
Hi! I had to delete some old cygwin installations and now I want to get a new one from scratch. How can I do that? When I delete all what I know, and start setup.exe, it finishes in a blink and nothing was done. So there must be some information I do not know ... Can You help me?

Re: How can I copy the configuration from one PC to another?

How can I copy the configuration from one PC to another?
Hi! I think that several people have this problem: If you get a new PC you have to manually switch on all programs that you want or need. Is it possible to copy the configuration from one PC to another and if, how?

-ldl?
Hi! As I told yesterday, I try to compile ImageMagick on my new desktop PC. I have also a laptop and on this everything works fine, so I try to find the differences between these two computers. When I compare the config.log files of ImageMagick, the first, perhaps significant difference is the following: On the laptop, where the compilation works fine, ldl cannot be found: usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status while on the desktop this check works. So it could be that this library causes my problems. But where can I find it? I think, I try to copy all files from the laptop to the desktop and try again ... If anybody has an idea, please drop a line ...

Shared libraries: How?
Hi! I try to compile ImageMagick under cygwin. I have one computer in the bureau, where everything works fine and one at home where I get messages like this one: *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have Even if I take the compiled sources of Image Magick at home and simply type make install, I get these messages. I googled and found a message that says that I should take care of the file command, but I do have it and in the latest version, since I bought this Computer today and installed everything from scratch. So what is wrong with my cygwin installation?

Problems compiling ImageMagick
Hi! I have two computers. On one, compiling ImageMagick works without problems. On the other not. On this one, I get errors like: *** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lbz2. *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have *** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting *** with libbz2 and none of the candidates passed a file format test *** using a file magic. Last file checked: /lib/libbz2.dll.a On this computer I deleted the whole cygwin directory and installed cygwin new but nothing helps. Does anybody have an idea what works wrong?

Re: Problems compiling ImageMagick
Hi Rene! First tought: why do you want to compile ImageMagic? is the version distributed by Cygwin not working? There are some reasons: One is that I do also sometimes like to use apache with perl cgis. The apache under cygwin needs cygwin-Perl. And I use perl-scripts for Image manipulating. And activeperl works good with precompiled ImageMagick, but I cannot use both perls (already tried) since they have conflicts. So I decided to compile ImageMagick alone and normally this is no problem. (I have not only these two PCs, there is one that at my boyfriend and one laptop) and all work fine. Just this one at my home does not want to work. About the linker messages: can you compile a simple program? do you have the required pre-requisites to compile ImageMagic? A simple selfwritten program can be compiled and started. The prerequisites should be OK. I checked with the config.log from the bureau-PC and the Home-PC with a diff tool. I assume you are using a shell (bash probably) in a terminal window (Windows cmd.exe or rxvt), can you list the required library: ls -al /usr/bin/cygbz2-1.dll (I see a 56K file). [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -al /usr/bin/cygbz2-1.dll -rwxr-x---+ 1 Dani Users 56832 Jul 9 2005 /usr/bin/cygbz2-1.dll But it could really be that something in the Windows environment is buggy since the errors remained after deleting cygwin. Deleting Cygwin means you don't have the linker (and compiler) so where could the errors come from? No, I meant that I deleted the whole C:\cygwin directory and all tmps and installed new in d:\cygwin Perhaps we have a wrong idea of what you are trying to do. Could you be more explicit? I try to be.But basically I have installed cygwin from scratch and try to compile ImageMagick. And on my other computers this works fine, so I think I do not something basicaly wrong.

Re: Problems compiling ImageMagick
Hi Rene! And also if I use the sources that I have compiled on the other PC I get: *** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive wand/libWand.la. *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have. *** But as you try to build a module library, libtool will still create *** a static module, that should work as long as the dlopening application *** is linked with the -dlopen flag to resolve symbols at runtime. When I try installing them.

Re: Problems compiling ImageMagick
Hi Igor! Whoops, is this a typo? If not, and you really did delete c:\cygwin, but installed in *D*:\cygwin (emphasis mine), then you could be in trouble because the mount table (which you didn't remove) still points to c:\cygwin. Where is this mount table? And how can cygwin really be uninstalled? I think it's time you followed the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html and attached (as an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of cygcheck -svr on the failing machine. OK, tomorrow.
