Yeah, I need to add even more runtime-debugging in run-1.0 and put out a
test release, so we can figure out what's going wrong there.
Is there a way to test run-2.0? What is the syntax to replace:
C:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
Sure:
1. create an XML file describing the program you want to launch. Here's
an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<Run2Config
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="run2.xsd">
<SelfOptions />
<Global>
<Environment />
<Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="/usr/bin">
<Arg>-l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe</Arg>
</Target>
</Global>
</Run2Config>
2. Make sure all the arguments you want to pass to the target program
are represented in (the|one of the) <Arg /> elements. Be sure that all
sequences of two '-' characters are replaced by -!- (e.g. -!-login for
--login, etc).
3. Create a shortcut with the following target:
C:\cygwin\bin\run2.exe /cygwin/path/to/your/xml/file
Enjoy. (Try
C:\cygwin\bin\run2.exe --debug=3 --notty /cygwin/path/to/your/xml/file
if it doesn't work).
