See here, Chere-oes: ;-)
I've tried all manner of command option permutations with 'chere'
and can't get it to work -- as it has in the past.
Here's my latest attempt:
$ chere -i -a -n -e "Bitte Bash Bei" -t mintty -o \
"--icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 -"
Shell defaulting to bash defined for lr
First, it doesn't work, so that when I right-click on a directory
and select the 'chere' option, I get the following text box
message:
This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing thia action. Create an association in the Set
Associations control panel.
Second, no matter what menu expression (argument to '-e'), I give
it, it always ends up being:
"cygwin_bash"
Fortumately, 'chere -u' seems to work.
Notes:
1.
$ cygcheck -c chere
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
chere 1.1-1 OK
2. My Windows System PATH includes '/bin' in Windows format.
3. I always run the 'chere' command in an "as Administrator" window.
4. The above install command is only one of tens of option
permutations I've tried, all chere-less-Lee.
Clearly, I have nothing to cheere about! ;-)
Clues?
I've always found 'chere -i' works for me. I'd also recommend getting
rid of
'c:\_0\local\Scripts\test'.
no such file!
Your cygcheck output thinks there is:
Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe
Not Found: test
Someone is confused here. Based on cygcheck's and your conflicting
statements, I can certainly say I am.
Larry, et al.,
As my initial message indicates 'chere -i', run as Administrator results
in a non-working 'chere' install with the additional
weird properties indicated.
OK, I only traced back as far as
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-12/msg00868.html>,
which didn't specifically mention the simple 'chere -i' variant. So I
wanted to offer
that as an incentive to try it if you hadn't.
Besides I want Mintty and Bash as the window, not the console.
I wasn't recommending 'chere -i' over your preferred configuration. I was just
suggesting what I had success with in the past and that starting with the
simple is usually a good way to troubleshoot problems.
Are you running Vista 64bit? If not, I suspect the registry keys set in
Vista 64 are not correct as set by 'chere'.
No, actually I'm not, so if you're sure it's a Vista 64bit thing, then that
narrows
the focus and those affected. The closest I have is Windows 7 x64 but I can't
experiment at the moment with it since it requires a reboot.
