Re: setup.exe -s (--site) option not working
Thank you very much Barry. That was the exact problem. I was using the urls specified by the gui mirror download list. Here's my working batch file in case anybody is curious:
-----------------------------------
setup.exe ^
--disable-buggy-antivirus ^
--quiet-mode ^
--site http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/ ^
--packages ^
ruby,^
curl,^
git,^
mingw64-i686-gcc-g++,^
gcc,^
libtool,^
make,^
automake,^
readline,^
libreadline7,^
zlib-devel,^
ncurses,^
vim
-------------------------------------
