"error: /cygwin no root dir" I just went ahead and created the directory and all works well: mkdir /cygwin makes the directory "C:\cygwin\cygwin" to put all the cached information you can also change the line 25: root = '/cygwin' to where ever you would like the cached packages to be placed. Yorga,

I got the same error as you. “error: /cygwin no root dir”

I just went ahead and created the directory and all works well:
mkdir /cygwin makes the directory “C:\cygwin\cygwin” to put all the cached information

you can also change the line 25:
root = ‘/cygwin’
to where ever you would like the cached packages to be placed.

I've followed your instructions, but I got this "cyg-apt setup" error: error: /cygwin no root dir I suppose this is because I installed Cygwin in other path than "c:\cygwin". If so, is there any workaround I can use to put it to work? Thanks in advance, Yorga. Hi!

the problem is that “-m” is a shortcut for –mirror

your mirror got set to “irror=http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/cygwin”

now cyg-apt can’t parse the config file since mirror contains “=”

edit ~/.cyg-apt and change
mirror=”irror=http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/cygwin”
to
mirror=”http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/cygwin”
