All, I tried to send this message to cygwin-apps@cygwin.com, since as I understand from the web-site setup.exe issues go there, but my message got bounced. Hence I am sending it here. Keep up the excellent work on cygwin. Can't wait for 1.5.* to come out. Using the latest setup and installation of cygwin I have a problem when I use setup.exe to un-install cygwin, so I can get a ** completely ** fresh install. I periodically like to uninstall cygwin and re-install to remove any cruft etc. Also this helps with maintenance of my computer, as I can always re-install later. That way I don't have to use so many backup CD's. To get around my ** own ** customizations, I have built my own install packages that integrate into the setup.exe. To do this integration, I use the "generic" build script template, setup.hints + upset to construct my setup.ini. This works great. However, when I de-install setup.exe seems to remove several directories that are ** NOT ** in the cygwin directory structure but are elsewhere, and I mount them under cygwin. Output of my mount: H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\build on /CygwinMachine_Package_Files/Build type system (binmode) H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\dest on /CygwinMachine_Package_Files/Release type system (binmode) H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\src on /CygwinMachine_Package_Files/src type system (binmode) C:\Documents and Settings\Alan Miles on /mnt/User type user (binmode) H:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) H:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) H:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) H:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /mnt/Drives/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /mnt/Drives/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /mnt/Drives/e type system (binmode,noumount) h: on /mnt/Drives/h type system (binmode,noumount) i: on /mnt/Drives/i type system (binmode,noumount) j: on /mnt/Drives/j type system (binmode,noumount) k: on /mnt/Drives/k type system (binmode,noumount) l: on /mnt/Drives/l type system (binmode,noumount) Setup.exe seems to remove H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\build and H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\dest (which I use but were empty at the time). Interestingly, it does ** NOT ** remove H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\src which is NOT empty. Subsequent re-installation causes problems with the mount command, until I unmount, manually re-create these directories, and remount. For example, a fragment of info from my setup.log.full file (related to the installation): ... rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/Setup-Help rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin/cygwin/Cy gwin/Setup/CVS rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin/cygwin/Cy gwin/Setup rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin/cygwin/Cy gwin/CVS rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin/cygwin/Cy gwin rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin/cygwin/CV S rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin/cygwin rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin/CVS rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/bin rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra/CVS rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder/infra rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/PackageBuilder rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/CygwinMachine-Help rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0/Auxillary_Scripts rmdir H:\cygwin/usr/doc/_CygwinMachine_Base-1.0 rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/User rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/Z rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/Y rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/X rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/W rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/V rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/U rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/T rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/S rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/R rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/Q rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/P rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/O rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/N rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/M rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/L rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/K rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/J rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/I rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/H rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/G rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/F rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/E rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/D rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/C rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/B rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives/A rmdir H:\cygwin/mnt/Drives rmdir H:\cygwin/etc/skel/.ncftp rmdir H:\cygwin/etc/CygwinMachines.Diffs rmdir H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\dest rmdir H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\build 2003/07/31 11:24:35 Uninstalling _CygwinMachine_Custom_Utilities unlink H:\cygwin/bin//FieldCounter.exe unlink H:\cygwin/bin//FieldCounter_Pipe.exe unlink H:\cygwin/bin//FileDump.exe unlink H:\cygwin/bin//GenerateRange.exe unlink H:\cygwin/bin//Linegen.exe unlink H:\cygwin/bin//LineNChopper.exe unlink H:\cygwin/bin//Padder.exe where Padder.exe, Linegen.exe are programs that I created for my use under cygwin, based on versions that I built for my Linux installation. I don't believe it should be doing the rmdir H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\dest rmdir H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\build commands, and I am not sure if this is a setup.exe issue, hence the reason I am sending this to this mailing list. I can see the removal of the H:\cygwin directories, but not any external directories that I just mount to. cygcheck -s output attached. _________________________________________ Alan Miles ICQ#: 171006836 More ways to contact me: http://wwp.icq.com/171006836 _________________________________________
