Category: MinGW Installer Group: Behaves as Documented Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Lennart Borgman (lborgman2) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: mingw-get 0.1-alpha-5: unable to start application Initial Comment: I just installed mingw-get 0.1-alpah-5. Trying to run it I get: C:\>mingw-get.exe mingw-get.exe: libexec/mingw-get/gui.exe: unable to start application; status = -1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Lennart Borgman (lborgman2) Date: 2011-02-06 04:00 Message: Thanks Keith, I see. But documentation is for users. You can't expect programmers to read it, can you? ;-) Perhaps the error message could say "see the readme file" or something like that? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Keith Marshall (keithmarshall) Date: 2011-02-05 20:08 Message: The README file for mingw-get, (which is also viewable directly on the download page), tells you exactly why you get this error message: the application mingw-gui.exe cannot be started because it doesn't yet exist. It is possible that the error message could be less cryptic, but this is not a bug. mingw-get --help will tell you how to invoke mingw-get correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Lennart Borgman (lborgman2) Date: 2011-02-05 14:53 Message: @love4boobies: What is the gain of the comment? Aren't you just wasting other peoples time with that comment? If there is any substance in it then please clarify. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Love4Boobies (love4boobies) Date: 2011-02-05 14:48 Message: Next time bother to read the documentation that comes with the software you download. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102435&aid=3167810&group_id=2435 |
