Given that it doesn't, I understand that there is nothing you can do directly to help with this. However, I don't really have any more detail to give. It doesn't run long enough to create any log files. I guess I need to build setup myself, and throw some extra logging in there to isolate the problem. So... I untar the setup source from cygwin.com/setup-snapshots, ./configure, make And get an error - implicit declaration of mkdir_p(). Ok - I fix this by moving #include "mkdir.h" outside an #if defined(WIN32) && !defined (_CYGWIN_) section. At the end of the build, I get a rather worrying warning: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000 But the setup.exe does run, and does reproduce the crash. At the moment, I'm building it cygwin1.dll-linked. Would you post a MinGW build recipe when you have time? Thanks, Max. Minor unrelated thing: An a.exe is created in the build directory. It is an invalid Win32 application. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
