Different problem, but to install Gaston, I had to follow instructions at https://bitbucket.org/mbaz/gaston/issue/11/gaston-for-windows

foges commented 11 years ago

I can confirm that I'm getting the same errors when attempting to install Winston on OS X

staticfloat commented 11 years ago

What happens if you do a Pkg.update()?

foges commented 11 years ago

I get the following warning:

WARNING: julia is fixed at 0.2.0-prerelease+3538 conflicting with requirement for BinDeps: [0.1.0-,0.2.0-) in requirements at pkg/query.jl:10

I editted my prepare-julia-env to start env |grep PATH set SYS_PATH=%PATH% echo SYS_PATH = %SYS_PATH%

Somehow env is returning a path that included /usr/bin as the second entry, but SYS_PATH is replaced it with C:\cygwin\bin without the user.

Ok, cygwin is playing weird tricks... git.exe is in /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/ but somehow inside cygwin it looks like there is a /usr/bin/git

I still don't understand why it behaves differently under tcsh and bash, but this may be getting further afield then you want to go.

staticfloat commented 11 years ago

@loladiro @vtjnash these guys should be able to debug this better than I can.

staticfloat commented 11 years ago

@foges could you open a separate issue about your Pkg error?

vtjnash commented 11 years ago

Cygwin probably shouldn't be in your path. It isn't compatible with programs compiled for Windows such as Julia. Also, PATH should only have valid win32 paths (eg, with X:\ not /)

vtjnash commented 11 years ago

Closing since their hasn't been any updates in a month.

Note: I suspect you have a package fixed at a very old version. It may fix your issue if you just delete '%AppData%/julia/packages`. Or look at Pkg.status() and see if any packages are marked as tracking a specific version and specifically target fixing those.

eford commented 11 years ago

Hi Jameson,

I don't understand why you'd close a bug just because no developers were making progress on fixing the bug for over a month. I followed the installation instructions and key functionality doesn't work. Other users verified that the problem occurred for them using different platforms.

My problems were based on a fresh install using a 0.2 pre-release version.

P.S. Julia looks great on paper, and I was hoping I could make it my new language of choice. But it needs to work first.

Cheers, Eric

Sorry. I've generally been the developer that is supposed to make this work, but I am unable to reproduce this. I primary closed this because it was now outdated. Several issues have been opened (and resolved) since then which appeared to be related, most directly #4422, but also 4c3bde832e027d709dc934a41905e97f948cdb68

Please open a new bug or reopen this one if you still experience the issue, after taking the corrective steps mentioned previously (and downloading the new binary).

Note: as I understand it, Cygwin is not compatible with windows programs, therefore running Julia from a Cygwin shell is not expected to work. Similarly, using a Cygwin git from julia (or other windows programs) is expected to fail.The purpose of the msys environment is to bridge that gap.

eford commented 11 years ago

Hi Jameson,

Ok, if you think there's a chance it's fixed, I'll give it another go. I think I tried everything suggested at the time. I guess I assumed that I could use Julia from within cygwin. It might be worth noting this in the docs/installation instructions. I'm guessing that lots of people use a Windows laptop, but use cygwin for nearly all of their "real" programming.

Thanks, Eric
