At the end of the installation I get a warning that bash.sh returned exit code 1. The related parts of the log: <> 2012/04/04 11:53:05 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/bash.sh ln: cannot remove `/dev/stdin': No such file or directory ln: cannot remove `/dev/stdout': No such file or directory ln: cannot remove `/dev/stderr': No such file or directory ln: cannot remove `/dev/fd': No such file or directory 2012/04/04 11:53:05 abnormal exit: exit code=1 <> Possibly related: I get errors a bit earlier in the log files: << start>> 2012/04/04 11:53:01 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/shm': No such file or directory Creating /dev/shm directory failed. POSIX semaphores and POSIX shared memory will not work mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/mqueue': No such file or directory Creating /dev/mqueue directory failed. POSIX message queues will not work <> I *suppose* the issue is related to this change in 1.7.12: "- Cygwin now automatically populates the /dev directory with all existing POSIX devices." Do I have to take any actions regarding those issues? If so, which?
