- Subject: Cygwin 1.7: Possible error in /etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh
When I ran setup-1.7.exe with the default set of packages
selected, the following error message was displayed:
running: C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile -c
/etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh
abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741819
'base-files-profile.sh' contains the following line:
/bin/mkdir -p `dirname ${fDest}`
'dirname' is /usr/bin/dirname. Does setup-1.7.exe set
PATH before running 'base-files-profile.sh'? If not,
then this would account for the error.
It is possible to rewrite the command without using
'dirname':
/bin/mkdir -p ${fDest%/*}
$ cygcheck -f /etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh
base-files-3.8-3
$ cygcheck -c base-files-3.8
