As Ken Brown has explained, double-clicking bash.exe does not set the PATH. You should run it from the "Cygwin Terminal" shortcut, which starts a login shell, which reads profile scripts, which set the PATH appropriately. > So, when I execute in the cygwin bash shell the command '/bin/sh -x > /etc/postinstall/xlaunch.sh.done', I get the same errors than those I > get when I execute 'C:\cygwin64\bin\sh -x > /etc/postinstall/xlaunch.sh.done' in the windows command interpreter: > the command 'uname' is unknown. > > If I change the value of PATH with PATH=/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin:$PATH > and export PATH, the execution of 'sh -x > /etc/postinstall/xlaunch.sh.done' don't give any errors. > > What is the value of PATH when the installation executes the set of > postinstall scripts ? setup cleans the PATH to start with '/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin', and contain any directories in the existing PATH which start with the windows system directory (e.g. '/cygdrive/cWindows/System32') Again, having an incorrect PATH doesn't reproduce the problem of the script freezing, so I don't think this is the underlying cause of the problem you see. > On 03/06/2016 14:41, Jon Turney wrote: >> On 02/06/2016 17:22, Jean-Paul Bouchet wrote: >>> Please find attached the script /etc/postinstall/xlaunch.sh and the >>> output of its execution (file postinstall_xlaunch.txt). >> >> Thanks. >> >> I guess this doesn't reproduce the problem (freezing), as this is just >> what I would expect to see when running the script without the PATH set? >> >> Perhaps you could try again from a cygwin bash shell? -- Jon Turney Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
