Hi,
In this message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg01533.html
Rick Kane describes some strange behaviour of setup.exe while installing
from local directory. I have done some testing (debugging) on version
2.340.2.5 and found that:
a) (WinXP Pro and Win98) searching for source packages in directory
tree that doesn't contain setup.ini or any .tar.gz files leads
to crash
b) (Win98) recursive search for source packages does not work.
do_local_ini function (ini.cc) returns 0 (ini_count) to
do_ini_thread, do_ini_thread sets next_dialog to switch property
sheet back to local dir. selection page and returs to
do_ini_thread_reflector which posts
WM_APP_SETUP_INI_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE message to ThreeBarProgressPage,
but this message is never hadled/received! Whole setup then looks
hanged showing progress bar with the Next/Back buttons disabled.
c) (Win98) finally, if source tree is found, setup crashes while checking
md5 sums.
David
