Bug ID: 40309
           Summary: Cygwin 2.4.1 crashes on install. Every cygwin
                    executable will crash in the same way.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.8.1
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux

Wine crash log

When trying to install Cygwin 2.4.1 in Wine, the post install invocations of
bash.exe and dash.exe crash immediately. If you manually copy a cygwin
executable and the cygwin1.dll from a working Windows system into Wine, and try
to execute it in Wine, it fails in exactly the same way. Even an application
that immediately returns 0 in main will show this crash.

It looks to be an issue somewhere in the application load step.

To reproduce:
1. Install Wine stable.
2. Install minimal cygwin system. You will get lots of crashes during the post
install step. Each one seems to take about a minute to popup though.

I am including a sample of one of the crash logs, but they all look exactly the
same.

Backtrace from Wine 1.9.5

I just removed the stable version of wine, and built 1.9.5 from source. It
fails the same way. Attaching the backtrace for this one.

It might be a duplicate of one of known bugs about Wine Cygwin.

We are still working on improving Wine Staging patch to sent to upstream.

For now you can try Wine Staging + Cygwin, which is much better. See also
https://github.com/fracting/wine-fracting/wiki/MSYS2-on-Wine for Wine Staging +
MSYS2

If you have any good news use Wine (Staging) + Cygwin, please also let me know!

Hi,

I'm using the cygwin installer right from their install page:

So there is a ton of stuff on that page. I'm not sure which parts I would need
to do to test this out. Which sections of this page should I follow to test
this out? I am on a CentOS 6 machine, so I don't have access to prebuilt
packages for the newest versions.

Hi, try install Wine Staging
https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Installation or build by
yourself.

You can ignore my wiki first.

Ok, got wine staging built off the 1.9.5 codebase, and I got the same error. I
was able to test against an older version of the cygwin1.dll, and it didn't
crash though. Maybe this is a cygwin bug? I don't know enough about either
cygwin or wine to say whose problem this really is.

On the good side, it is dead simple to replicate.

I just retested 32 bit Wine Staging 1.9.4 + 32 bit Cygwin 2.4.1, and it works
for me.

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1  2.4.1(0.293/5/3) 2016-01-24 11:24 i686 Cygwin

Could you show `wine --version` and  the new crash log?

Crash log from wine-staging.

Very surprising to me.

wine --version
wine-1.9.5 (Staging)

Attached is a crash log from trying to execute uname -a.

If it works for you then maybe its my system. I am running this on a CentOS 6
VirtualBox VM. Could the fact that is in a VM be messing with it somehow?

I'm going to try this in my real machine, but it is Debian Jessie.

I tried installing the official Debian Jessie Wine package which was version
1.6.2. Cygwin failed to install at all on it. Seemed to fail trying to untar
each of the downloaded packages.

However, I tried just pulling in cygwin executables and it fails almost the
same way as before, but not quite.

Can you share with me what kind of machine you were successful with installing
cygwin on?

1.6.2 is just so outdated that it's no wonder it doesnt work. There has been no
updates to that wine version around 2 years or something like that while the
development versions has gained every 2 weeks new version status. There is a
bug 34259, it's reported against 1.7.0. My understanding is that you really
need some of the wine-staging patches.

I tried the installer with wine-git and I get

"AddAccessAllowedAce(, group) failed: 1337"

errors I don't know if that's something to worry about or not, but it still
goes on installing stuff. I set everything as default I just changed the
install path from default z to c.

I seem to get a crash too. Don't know the cause. It goes quite far installing
stuff. update-info-dir.dash is the (file?) it hangs finally.

I tried the same procedure with wine-staging (deleted wineprefix before trying)
and I can finnish the installer. I also get AddAccessAllowedAce(, group)
failed: 1337 errors, but I wasnt able to spot a crash during install.

wine-staging version used was 1.9.5- Linux mint here.

Marking this a duplicate of bug 41824 as that bug has more information and less

Apologies, marking this and 41824 as duplicate of bug #40528 instead.
