cygcheck
USAGE
cygcheck [-s] [-v] [-r] [-h] [ program ...]
DESCRIPTION
You must at least give either an ‘-s’
option or a program name, signified in the usage as program.
The cygcheck program is a diagnostic
utility that examines your system and reports the information that is significant
to the proper operation of cygwin programs. It can give information about
a specific program (or program) you are trying to run,
general system information, or both. If you list one or more programs on
the command line, it will diagnose the runtime environment of that program
or programs. If you specify the -s option, it will give general
system information. If you specify -s and list one or more programs
on the command line, it reports on both specified programs.
The cygcheck program should be
used to send information about your system to Cygnus for troubleshooting
(if your support representative requests it). When asked to run this command,
include all the options plus any commands with which you are having trouble,
saving the output so that you can mail it to Cygnus. Use the following
declaration at the C:\Cygnus> prompt.
cygcheck -s -v -r -h > tocygnus.txt
The -v option causes the output
to be more verbose. What this means is that additional information will
be reported which is usually not interesting, such as the internal version
numbers of DLLs, additional information about recursive DLL usage, and
if a file in one directory in the PATH also occurs in other directories
on the PATH.
The -r option causes cygcheck
to search your registry for information that is relevent to Cygnus programs.
These registry entries are the ones that have “Cygnus” in the name. If
you are concerned about privacy, you may remove information from this report,
keeping in mind that doing so makes it harder for Cygnus to diagnose the
problem.
The -h option prints additional
helpful messages in the report, at the beginning of each section. It also
adds table column headings. While this is useful information, it also adds
significantly to the size of the report; if you want a compact report or
if you know what everything is already, don’t use this option.
