Sorry for the delay in responding. Here are the files with the
output. Let me know if there are any tweaks to how I run these that
you would like to see (e.g. running setup.exe with C:\cygwin\bin
already in the path, etc.).
cygwin-510.txt: Fresh install with setup.exe version 2.510.
C:\cygwin\bin is *not* added to the path beforehand. Ran cygcheck from
the windows cmd.exe in the C:\cygwin\bin directory. Note that cygcheck
also emits to stderr "'id' program not found" twice. (Adding
C:\cygwin\bin to the path while running cygcheck doesn't fix that
message.)
Michael,
Can you also run one from a bash shell (invoking it explicitly as
/bin/cygcheck)? Also, if you change the system PATH variable, you need to
restart cmd.exe, otherwise the changes won't be picked up. If
c:\cygwin\bin is in the PATH as cmd.exe sees it, cygcheck should be able
to find 'id'.
cygwin-562.txt: Same as cygwin-510.txt except that setup.exe version
2.562 was used.
BTW, the version of setup doesn't seem to matter much.
