In-reply-to: <19991215221242.A17322@cygnus.com> References: ; from khan AT NanoTech DOT Wisc DOT EDU on Wed, Dec 15, 1999 at 06:59:56PM -0600 X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12b) Message-Id: <200001172229496.SM00169@KENDALLB> Hi Guys, I am trying to get Cygwin B20.1 installed and updated to the latest snapshot release, but am running into problems. I have been following the directions on: http://www.woodsoup.org/projs/ORKiD/cygwin.htm but ran into a problem after I installed the latest snapshot release and then tried to upgrade to the latest GCC compilers. After installing the snapshot, this is what I get: //c/c/cygwin/cygwin-b20>uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.0 KENDALLB 1.1.0(0.16/3/2) 2000-01-14 00:30:05 i686 unknown So it looks to be installed OK. However when I try to run tar to extract the GCC files, nothing happens except the disk whirs for a bit and I am left with a tar.exe.stackdump file on my disk. Hence it appears that tar.exe has crashed for some reason: //c/c/cygwin/cygwin-b20>tar -zxvf binutils-2.9.4-cygb20.tar.gz //c/c/cygwin/cygwin-b20> Note that I am running the Windows 2000 RTM release, so perhaps it is something Windows 2000 specific? The following is the contents of the tar.exe.stackdump file: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=0041732D eax=433D5345 ebx=00000080 ecx=0A0446A0 edx=00000005 esi=0A040000 edi=0A0440A0 ebp=0242FD28 esp=0242FCFC program=c:\c\cygwin\CYGWIN~1\H- I586~1\bin\tar.exe cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003B gs=0000 ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args 0242FD28 0041732D (0A0446A0, 0242FD54, 61021AE7, 0A0446A0) 0242FD34 004173EA (0A0446A0, 6107B898, 00000001, 6104ADAC) 0242FD54 61021AE7 (0A0446A0, 00000001, 00000002, 61076AA4) 0242FD84 6100E34E (0A045E00, 00000003, 0040187F, 6101DD57) 0242FDA4 610764C9 (0A045E00, 00000003, 0242FDE4, 6100E81F) 0242FDD4 6101E14D (610818E8, 00000003, 0242FE14, 61042363) 0242FE14 61042373 (00000003, 00000000, 6102E37E, 61067ACE) 0242FE34 61067ACE (00000003, 00000000, 0242FE58, 00401800) 0242FE44 004015B5 (00000003, 0242FE90, 0242FF17, 0242FE98) 0242FE58 00401800 (00000003, 00000000, 00402371, 00000000) 0242FE98 004027B6 (0A047000, 00000003, 00000000, 00410840) 0242FEBC 00403605 (00000000, 0A047000, 00000003, 00000000) 0242FED4 0040D69C (0040AD78, 0242FF0C, 0A047000, 0242FF64) 0242FEE8 00415F86 (00000003, 0A047000, 0A043000, 00000000) 0242FF64 610024AB (7FFDF000, 021A000E, 00000114, 00000000) 0242FF94 61002775 (00422EE0, 00415E08, 0242FFC0, 0040103A) End of stack trace (more stack frames may be present) BTW, is there some easy way to change the default dimensions and font of the window used by bash to something else (I like 80x50 for my console)? The cygwin.bat file has no options for this under it's properties section (perhaps I need to create a PIF file?).
