First, make sure that you are using the latest version of
|
||||||
|
@code{setup.exe}. It's a work in progress, with improvements and
|
||||||
|
bugfixes being made often. The latest version is always available from
|
||||||
|
the 'Install Cygwin now' link on the Cygwin Home Page at
|
||||||

@file{http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/}.

If setup has otherwise behaved strangely, check the files
|
||||||
|
@samp{setup.log} and @samp{setup.log.full} in the Cygwin root directory
|
||||||
|
(@code{C:\cygwin} by default). It may provide some clues as to what
|
||||||
|
went wrong and why.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're still baffled, search the Cygwin mailing list for clues.
|
||||||
|
Others may have the same problem, and a solution may be posted there.
|
||||||
|
If that search proves fruitless, send a query to the Cygwin mailing
|
||||||
|
list. You must provide complete details in your query: version of
|
||||||
|
setup, options you selected, contents of setup.log and setup.log.full,
|
||||||
|
what happened that wasn't supposed to happen, etc.
