I just installed the 64-bit version of Cygwin on both a desktop PC and a laptop PC.
On the desktop, everything worked as expected without problems. On the laptop, I
have the following problems:
When I launch a shell window, I get the following error:
Your group is currently "mkgroup". This indicates that neither your gid nor your pgsid is in /etc/group.
(I don't know about this one)
Also, when I try to launch an XTerm, I get the following message in the XTerm window for
just a few seconds and then the window goes away:
/cygdrive/c/Apps/cygwin/bin/xterm: Could not exec XTERM_SHELL=XTERM_SHELL=: No such file or directory
yes, that's a bug which surfaced in #301, thought it was gone in #302, and _should_ be gone in #303
(from yesterday)
I'm starting the XWin Server using a shortcut with the following:
C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe
/usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c
"/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -emulate3buttons -multiwindow -clipboard -swcursor"
I'm starting the XTerm using a shortcut with the following:
C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe
-p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm +tb -sb -sl 5000 -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls /bin/zsh -l
I'd try putting "-e" before the "/bin/zsh", which moves it away from the bug noted.
(actually, the trailing "-l" doesn't look right either)
fwiw, when I compile #301, #302 and #303 for Cygwin, I don't see the bug.
However, I was able to analyze it on Linux with valgrind...
