Unable to start RsyncServer service

Software

Release: cygwin-rsyncd-3.2.3.0
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (10.0.19041 Build 19041)

Problem Description

After running the cygwin-rsyncd installer, the RsyncServer service fails to start. Attempting to manually start the service also fail. It looks like A cygwin DLL is missing. From C:\rsyncd\rsyncd-stderr:

C:/rsyncd/bin/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygxxhash-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks for the report. I'd like to make sure there aren't any other missing libraries. Can you install cygxxhash-0.dll and re-run to make sure there aren't any other errors?

If it's not easy for you to find cygxxhash-0.dll, I can push a copy to GitHub so you can download it from there.

I added the five missing libraries. I've attached a candidate new installer. It's a zip file that contains the exe (I can't upload an exe file). Could you try that out please?

I tried the new 3.2.3.1 installer in the ZIP file . The RsyncServer service now successfully starts.

Thanks for getting back with a fix so quickly!

Thanks for confirming. I just released 3.2.3.1.
