"Download and Install from the Internet" rather than "Install from Local Directory" as in my recent post. I proceeded exactly as before, selecting absolutely everything for installation and checking the SRC tickbox too. Almost no errors: Cygwin itself works properly, as before, but this time the source files were correctly located in the appropriately named directory under /usr/src/ (NOT a trivial subset of them in /usr/src/src/). Two strangenesses: (i) at the appropriate time I got an error message box containing the text: Warning: deleting "c:\Cygwin/usr/src/expect-20010117-1/tcl" so I can make a directory there (ii) at the very end, message box was presented saying "Installation incomplete. Check /setup.log.full for details. Apart from the minor glitch at (i) I was not aware of any installation problems and maybe that was the only one, but I do not know what to look for in the 7 MB 102,000 line file that is setup.log.full. Summarising: I think setup.exe still contains minor buglets relating entirely to the location of source files under /usr/src/. A full installation from a Local Directory or from the Net seems to result in a fully functional Cygwin. BUT the Local installation leads to almost total failure locating source files under /usr/src/. The Net installation is, or seems to be, almost completely successful apart from a small problem with the creation of /usr/src/expect.... and with the final "Installation incomplete" message which might refer to one visible, or to very many invisible, errors. I have all 4 of setup.log.* files (two each for Local and Net installation) but they are extremely large.
