I don't know enough about setup.ini to understand why that's hard (my 
script can already do it), but I accept it.

Although it sounds easy to me (since the info's not for setup and so 
setup should ignore the extra info), I don't know how setup's written, 
and you're the boss, so what you say, goes!

cannot execute binary file

I've built from source (gfortran) an application that won't run (cannot
execute binary file) and the "file" command prompts: PE32 executable
(console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows. (Yes, chmod 755 is set for the
executable...)

Funny thing is that I did the same build on a different machine with
sucess. Obviously there are differences between those machines, but I
can't think of what makes the difference here. Well, there is one major
difference: the Cygwin istallation on the sucessfull one is owned an run
as admin. On the other machine the Cygwin installation is non-admin, and
I even renamed the setup file to avoid the question of installation
permissions. 

Could the non-successful build be affected by the non-admin
installation?

Are there any debug options here?

Cheers,
Kåre

Do you mean "bash -i"?

Though I have no experience with it, I believe that one can create an
empty dummy package that "requires" what you want.

Try Googling < site:cygwin.com "setup.ini" requires dummy package > or
the like.

For example: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-11/msg00125.html


Note use of the BASE category.

Good luck,

From the manpage:

-i   If the -i option is present, the shell is interactive.
-l   Make bash act as if it had been invoked as a login shell.

And:

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a 
non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and 
executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists.  
After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, 
and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from  
the first one that exists and is readable.  
The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit 
this behavior.

When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash 
reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if 
these files exist. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option.  
The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands 
from file instead of /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc.

HTH.

I did "rebaseall" after installing a couple of necessary lib's.

All compiling (configure, make etc) goes like nothing's wrong (just a
few harmless warnings known for ages for this software). The only real
error displayed is the: cannot execute binary file.

I'll try to reinstall cygwin as admin to see if things change.

I tried installing everything from scratch and same disappointing
result. My next try will be to install cygwin with an earlier
gcc-version I know works better with my configure scripts. The two
latest verions hangs on $EGREP for some reason...

Why not uncomment the last line in original /etc/fstab and add ",noacl" there?

Faster to try than to wait for answer :)
I'm using most of cygwin commands directly.
Most of environment variables that these programs would look for are defined
already, I'm no fan of hiding my personal settings into some obscure (for
system) files, or to have myself headache of remembering, where else i need to
adjust this or that setting to make all programs work transparently from bash
shell as well as when executed directly.

P.S.
My /etc/fstab :

# For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
# http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

# This is default anyway:
# none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

Missing cygmpfr-4.dll

After a fresh install of cygwin, I am unable to use gcc:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/cc1.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygmpfr-4.dll:

Is there any place I could download that library from?

Here is my cygcheck.out:

Try installing libmpfr4.
