Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2006 9:29 pm Post subject: Problem installing cygwin |
|
|
I have a dialup connection, and obvioulsy the setup of the enviroment would take ages. I took my laptop to work, and used the broadband connection to download the files, and it installed the cygwin stuff on the laptop. I got home, and transferred the install files to my desktop in the same folder, My Documents/Cygwin Install/... then I copied C:/cygwin from the laptop over to the desktop, also in c:/cygwin . I double click the bat file in c:/cygwin, and I get an error "bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create !"
Well, I checked , and there is a tmp folder in c:/cygwin already. Anyone know why it doesnt work ? It does work on the laptop if that matters.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a pic of the error, along with the cygwin directory:

note: if you checked the "keep downloaded files" you should have your required files on your laptop anyway

I always choose the download only option first then after everything is downloaded I install from the local hard drive. Works very nicely.

| That's what I have a problem with. I transferred all the install files from the laptop to the desktop, and ran into the above problem. If I tried to install it from the installer on my desktop it'd take days on a dialup connection. And there isnt any guarantee that my dialup would stay connected long enough to download all the files needed for the setup. |

you can choose install from local directory and point to our downloaded files... _________________ "Good artists copy, great artists steal."

Thank you very much. Everyone...
I can't believe it was something as simple as that lol. I now have it running, but now feel very retarded for not trying that before lol. I hope learning C doesnt follow the same path rofl.
Again, thanks for the quick responses and help I received. TY |
