如何使用Inno Setup将命令传递到Windows中的Cygwin控制台

Question

I've tried variations of this, but had no luck other than the ability to start a cygwin window. (wrapped on ; for clarity)

Filename: "c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe";
  Parameters: "-c c:/scripts/step1.sh paramX";
  Flags: shellexec waituntilterminated;
  StatusMsg: "Running the script..."

(this is for an internal install, thus cywin is installed, and all paths, scripts are known)

Answer 1

Your problem is that -c tells bash to read instructions from the next parameter: eg

c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c 'for NUM in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do echo $NUM; done'

you just need:

c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe "/scripts/step1.sh paramX"

So your code would look like:

Filename: "c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe";
  Parameters: "c:/scripts/step1.sh paramX";
  Flags: shellexec waituntilterminated;
  StatusMsg: "Running the script..."

Maybe this will be helpful for somebody else :)

Answer 2

I think you're going to need to make the whole thing part of a cmd.exe invocation, and then I'm not sure it will do exactly what you want/need.

I'm looking at Inno-Setup 5 documentation (may be out-of-date), but I don't think you need the shellexec or waituntilterminated flags.

Try something like

Filename: "cmd.exe"; Parameters: "/c c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c 'c:/scripts/step1.sh paramx'"

Untested, caveat emptor.
