Just tripped over the same problem and found a solution. Posting it here, just in case I’ll ever have to look it up again. Set up a bin directory right under /home/my-username: cd ~ mkdir bin Move the composer.phar (or any other of those nifty new PHP imps that are on the rise) into the … Read more
You have to install the make command. Run the Cygwin installation/configuration program, setup-x86_64.exe or setup-x86.exe (you should already have it, downloaded from here). When you get to the screen that lets you select packages to install, find make and select it (it’s probably under “Development” or something similar). Then you’ll be able to run make … Read more
In short, define the following environment variable: CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict According to Cygwin documentation: If set to winsymlinks:native or winsymlinks:nativestrict, Cygwin creates symlinks as native Windows symlinks on filesystems and OS versions supporting them. The difference between winsymlinks:native and winsymlinks:nativestrict is this: If the filesystem supports native symlinks and Cygwin fails to create a native symlink for … Read more
You install it like this: 1 – Make sure lynx is installed 2 – Run lynx -source rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg > apt-cyg 3 – Run install apt-cyg /bin That’s it!
Run your cygwin setup.exe again, and expand the categories to find ‘rsync’ and ‘ssh’.
This error is due to a presence of a “:”. Therefore it no longer supports windows paths. You need to download version 3.80 and replace the make.exe in the \bin directory. Apparently it needs cygintl12.dll too.
Update: I’ve switched over to WSL since posting this answer. If you’re still using Cygwin give it a try. It’s not a drop-in replacement but it’s nicer in a number of ways. Personally, I find having to exit Cygwin just to install new packages annoying enough to try to avoid the just-in-time strategy, and fortunately … Read more
No, adding additional packages doesn’t modify the current settings. There is a package manager called apt-cyg which installes additional packages from command-line. To install apt-cyg follow the below steps: wget rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg install apt-cyg /bin Note: wget should be installed for downloading the apt-cyg. To Use apt-cyg for installing additional package (after following the above steps): … Read more
I had the same issue. i changed my setting in “Select Your Internet Connection” to “Use Internet Explorer Proxy” instead of “Direct Connection”.It worked like a charm. I guess the issue is due to the proxy layer at work.
uname -m And it should say x86_64 in the output if it’s 64-bit, or i686 if 32-bit.
