RE: Initial run of BASH doesn't initialize home directory

2005-07-13 Thread Tom Smith
With all due respect, Igor, I think you missed my point.

The point is this:

1) I ran the Cygwin setup.exe and the Cygwin/X setup.exe (a distinction
made by the cygwin.com web site itself) on the same computer.
2) The Cygwin/X installation gave me grief as mentioned in my initial post.
3) The Cygwin installation gave me no grief and worked perfectly.

Therefore, my conclusion was that there's something different between the
two installation routines--is this not a rational conclusion?

I apologize for not including the output of cygcheck -svr. I no longer
have Cygwin/X installed so this will have to wait until tomorrow.

Based on what I mentioned above, is this still something I should take to
the Cygwin list?

There is no such thing as a Cygwin/X installer.  There is a Cygwin
installer which installs the xorg-* family of Cygwin packages.

 non-default packages I select are:

 gcc
 vim
 nano
 inetutils
 openssh
 xorg-x11-base
 xorg-x11-devel
 xorg-x11-man-pages

 When I start the Cygwin Bash Shell for the first, I get dropped to a
 shell prompt and placed in /usr/bin. My Home directory isn't created and
 the general Cygwin environment doesn't work--that is, I'm not able to
 execute any commands. In fact, no files even appear in /usr/bin.

This isn't an X-related problem, and thus belongs on the main Cygwin list.
Please remove cygwin-xfree from further messages.

 I've researched this problem and haven't been able to locate a solution.
 I'm also not sure how to start troubleshooting it.

 Any ideas as to how I can start troubleshooting this problem?

Please read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html.  Please pay particular attention to the
part that asks you to attach the output of cygcheck -svr.

It might also help to know how you're starting bash.

This distinction is apparently confusing.  The two files setup.exe are 
identical.

It's the same installer, just linked to different pages with different

Run the installer once selecting all the non-X stuff you want.
Setup your environment like you want it.
Run the installer again, selecting all the X stuff you want.
