Hmm, that sounds awfully unscriptable :-) Am I the only non-maintainer
that uses a script?

Now for something constructive.  What if I fix my scripts to do the
new convention, and we run that over the archive to rebuild everything?

[Mohammad Saleem]

Hi all,

 
I have subscribe cygwin group to get mail at:

Now I want to unsubscribe this group for the above mentioned email 
address. I send many times a mail at

But still I get mail from cygwin.

Why it is so?

Ok, I mixed stuff in packaging page with older mail discussions and
the actual state of the archive.  Sorry for the confusion.

:-)  Hmm, I do all what I'm 'implying' already.  But no

Ok thanks for the pointer.  Is there a script to do the packaging?

   That's easy:

   09:33:15 fred@appel:~/usr/src/cygwin-cross-1.3.6.0$ cat stage/gcc.configure
   mkdir -p $cygpack-build
   cd $cygpack-build

   #urg, --srcdir is broken for 1.1.4
   ##rm -f include && ln -s $cygpack/include include

   sourcedir=$PREFIX/src/$cygpack

   CPPFLAGS="-I $PREFIX/include/w32api"

What do I win?

Ok.  Although my scripts have run a bit out of hand, my autobuilds run
rather well now.  They will only get simpler when packages are
packaged more cleanly.

Ok.  So you're still aiming for a lot less ambitious target.  This
just means that I'll have to hack up some scripts to do cross
building, as none of them will support it.  Anyway, documentation in
the form of a script is a very good start, I guess.

Ok, I didn't know that.  Feb 1999 I sent this mail:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/1999-02/msg00822.html

and got no reactions; no questions if I would maintain it; if things
could be uploaded or whatever.  So, I just continued scratching my own
itch.

Sure, but it was skipped over when I announced it, ie b20 was current,
too.

I'll try to enter a discussion when it's hot, next time.

No, me neither.  It seemed just more convenient to package my stuff,
although the perl/berk db dependencies didn't really help.

I can not build crossgcc

[Ricky Chan]

Hi friend,

I build gcc for ARM target development, but it does not successfully. I am
using gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.bz2 and gcc-g++-2.95.2.tar.bz2 under cygwin.

configure gcc
/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/configure --target=arm-elf \
--prefix=/tools \
--exec-prefix=/tools/H-i686-pc-cygwin \

-v 2>&1 | tee configure.out 

build gcc
make -w all-gcc install-gcc \ 
LANGUAGES="c c++" 2>&1 | tee make.out 

I got the following error message in the make.out file

in mailing list archives. many people, including core cygwin
developers, find it preferable to make builds in separate directory
not only for cygwin, but for any autoconf-managed package. So,
in-place configure is unmaintained therefore unsupported therefore not
recommended. believe me, building in separate tree makes a _lot_ of
things easier, once you're accustomed to it :)

because it's not cygwin README. it's generic GNU package README. i
admit that it may be not clear.

Re: cygwin 1.3.6-3 and xemacs

[Peter Keller]

Hi,

I've had the same problem as Ryan, and I have had to roll back to cygwin
1.3.5 as well. I can tell you that the problem has something to do with
/cygdrive: what I have found is that visiting a file whose path begins
with /cygdrive using C-x C-f, or using "File->Open..." on a directory that
has been mapped to Windows drive where cygwin provides access to the drive
via /cygdrive, does not work.

If you mount a directory to something other than /cygdrive (e.g. directly
underneath /) then it seems OK.

On the Xemacs lists: go to
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-nt/200112/threads.html and search in
the page for for 'cygwin'.

There has also been some confusion in the cygwin mailing list with another
problem to do with file completion in bash: see
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00175.html . Fixing the
shell file completion problem has NOT fixed the xemacs problem (although
Christopher Faylor's thinking that it it might was not unreasonable).

I don't know whether the problem is with cygwin or xemacs, but this is an
unfortunate thing to happen to two fantastic software projects that ought
to work seamlessly with each other. I hope that the relevant people on the
cygwin and xemacs teams will put their heads together and figure this out
as quickly as possible.

Regards,
Peter.

[BUG] Inetd listening on ports it's not configured for

[Ronald Landheer]

Hello all,

I have installed and configured the latest version of Cywin with all
packages, updated whenever there's an announcement, etc.

A while ago, I configured inetd to run telnet whenever necessary, but
*not* FTP. I have a propriatary FTP server running on the same NT/2000
machine, which takes care of the FTP.

Yesterday, I updated both, and the FTP no longer worked. My liking
Cygwin very much, I blamed the FTP server, uninstalled, reinstalled,
didn't work (though with propriatary programs, it usually does ;)
I reconfigured it to listen on port 1024 in stead of 21, and telnetted
to the machine on said port - worked like a charm.
I blamed Windows, did some nmapping, and found something was still
listening on port 21.
There's only one other internet-related TCP/IP port-listening
thingemajig on this server: inetd. I telnetted to the machine, shut down
inetd, logged out, could not log in again, FTPd to the machine (after
having reconfigured the FTP server to listen on port 21) and it worked
like a charm.
Me, happy that my backoffices are working again, but also sad, that
Cygwin was the cause.

I have inserted my inetd.conf file before. I should note that this
worked like a charm before I updated my installation yesterday - AFAIK,
it should not be listening on port 21.
Instructions followed to install inetd are those of the proper readme,
ofcourse, so I consider this a bug.

If any more info is wanted, it will be provided :)

Ronald.

AF_INET connection refused help pls

[Haksun Li]

Dear all,

This is my first time sending to the mailing list. I hope I am doing the
right thing

I am having problem writing a little program using cygwin. It is about a
client sending message to a server.
I run into the exact same problem described in:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-05/msg01085.html

I read the follow up to this post but it doesnt seem to answer the
question (if it does for others, there is something I dont understand. So
please pardon me).

My call to accept always fails, regardless of whether I use localhost or
the actual IP address. I have also tried a few different ports to no
avail.

By the way, if both the client and server are on Solaris, then both work.
If one of them is on Cygwin and the other is on Solaris, then the message
sending doesnt work out.
The Solaris client cannot send to the Cygwin server (connection refused).
The Cygwin client cannot send to the Solaris sever (connection refused).

I am working on the same machine which runs Win2K server. My version of
Cygwin is pretty new (havent figured out how to check the version yet) coz
I just d/l it 2 weeks ago.

Can anyone please shed some light on what goes wrong here.

My codes are the below, followed by the output.
Thanks very much in advance!!!

You have FTP listed twice, only one once is it commented out.
Comment out the other occurrence and try not to feel too embarrassed :-)

User error.  Ftp is activated in your inetd.conf.

User context switch in sshd using RSAAuthentication

[Ulrich Jakobus]

Hello,

I am running a CVS server on a Win2K machine connecting through
SSH, where sshd is a standard installation of CYGWIN (i.e running
under the SYSTEM account as configured by the ssh-config-host 
script).

In the file /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.0.1p1-2.README it says that
since openssh 2.9 one can also switch user context when using
cygwin 1.3.5 or later. This does not seem to work for me (my 
versions are openssh 3.0.1p1-2 and cygwin 1.3.6-4).

For password authentication everything is correct, CVS log messages
are for instance
  date  2001.12.06.10.33.09;author jakobus; state Exp;

However, when using the ~/.ssh/authorizedkeys file then CVS also
works, no error messages. But the CVS log files contain
  date  2001.12.06.10.33.09;author SYSTEM;  state Exp;
i.e. the user SYSTEM appears here.

CYGWIN=NTSEC is used globally, and /etc/group and /etc/passwd were
created with mkpasswd -l and mkgroup -l. Filesystem is NTFS.

Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Ulrich Jakobus

That should read:

server_addr.sin_port = htons(port);

It works coincidentally on Solaris because host and network byteorder
are the same on Solaris.

inetd issue

[Collin Grady]

 I have been trying unsuccessfully the past few days to get inetd
running, with no luck.  I have searched the ML archives and have not been
able to find any messages relating to my partitcular issue.
 If I try running inetd as a service, it starts, sits for a few seconds,
then dies.  If I type 'inetd' from bash or cmd, it just does nothing.  No
errors at all, and it never appears in Task Manager, even for a split
second.
 I have inetd.conf properly configured, yet still nothing.  The really
wierd part, however, is that if I go to a bash prompt, and type 'inetd -d'
for debugging, it works perfectly, showing no errors at all, accepting
incoming connections, it all works.  I don't want to have inetd running in
debug mode all the time though, so setting that isnt an option ;-)
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Cygwin CVS or a native CVS?  If it's a native CVS, the
below message that auther is SYSTEM would be ok.  Changing
the user context w/o password uncovers a flaw in NT user name
handling.  Cygwin just workarounds that.

And did you set the global environment variable as it's needed by
inetd currently?  And are the important files under /etc and /etc

Thanks.  I'll check it out.  I do note, however, that you say 
that this has only been tested on WinNT.  Presumably the 
standard grep also would work on NT.

Re: User context switch in sshd using RSAAuthentication

[Ulrich Jakobus]

This is a native WIN32 version of CVS, not the Cygwin build (the
available Cygwin package cvs-1.11.0-1 corrupts my file system 
permissions, the newer 1.11.1-1p1 compiles without problems under
Cygwin but the "make check" fails at some stage, so I went back
to cvs from CVSNT).

It seems that I have to go back to password authentication for ssh
then (or use :pserver: as I did in the past without ssh). We are
multiple developers using CVS, and need to have the correct username
there (and not SYSTEM).

Thanks for the prompt reply,

Ulrich

Sadly, I don't believe that I was even in charge of the project in Feb
1999.  And, since I was ill, and the local Cygnus office was being closed
around that time, I probably had other things on my mind.

Regardless, it didn't really require me, or anyone else, to make this
thing fly.  You had a web site.  Why didn't people beat a path to your

Windows 2000 Junction Points

[Kim, Anthony]

Windows 2000 (having NTFS 5.0) allows the creation of directory
symbolic links. This can be used as mount points for hard drive
volumes or to symlink directories across file systems. In the
literature, the directory links are called "junction points".

Disk Administration snap-in can be used to mount a drive to a
directory or you can use linkd.exe (ResKit) or junction.exe
(SysInternals).

This is the closest thing I can find to simulate:

ln -s /source /destination

Now here's my question:

When you perform a directory symlink in cygwin, you end up with a
.LNK file even though you can cd into the link.

$ pwd
/mnt
$ ln -s /cygdrive/c /mnt/test
$ ls -l
total 20
dr-xr-xr-x6 Administ Administ0 Dec  6 09:47 ./
dr-xr-xr-x   12 Administ Administ 4096 Nov 28 12:48 ../
dr-xr-xr-x   12 Administ Administ 8192 Dec  6 09:47 c/
dr-xr-xr-x3 Administ Administ 4096 Dec  3 12:48 d/
dr-xr-xr-x5 Administ Administ 4096 Dec  3 12:48 e/
drwxr-xr-x1 vciadmin Administ0 Dec  4 08:35 h/
lrwxrwxrwx1 vciadmin Administ   94 Dec  6 09:47 test -> /cygdrive/c/

$ cd test
$ ls


This works as expected. However, from outside cygwin:

$ cmd

G:\cygwin\mnt>dir
dir
 Volume in drive G is DATA
  Volume Serial Number is 98D5-B7E1

   Directory of G:\cygwin\mnt

   12/06/2001  09:47a.
   12/06/2001  09:47a..
   11/28/2001  11:26a   c
   11/28/2001  11:26a   d
   11/28/2001  11:27a   e
   12/04/2001  08:34a   h
   12/06/2001  09:47a  94 test.lnk

So the effect is lost.

Because hard links work in cygwin as expected, is it far fetched
for ln -s   to create actual junction points
instead of .LNK files?

If I'm way off base here, please feel free to let me know :)

Cheers!

Ah.  Nevermind.  I thought you were referring to my 1.3.6-4 announcement.
The shell file completion fix was in 1.3.6-4.

You see, someone gave me enough information to actually duplicate the
problem myself.  Sadly, I have no interest whatsoever in Xemacs, so
providing instructions on how to duplicate a problem in Xemacs is not
going to help me much since I don't have Xemacs installed.

Ah, but back in b20 days we didn't HAVE package-based distribution. 
Everything was all in one "full.exe" 21MB download. There was no way for 
a non-core developer to add something like "rpm" to the distro back then 
-- it just wasn't possible.  A lot of things have changed in 3 years.

You're in bsd-ports "make world" mode, I see.  I don't think that is a 
goal, yet.  *OUR* concern is "make cygwin work".  Cross environments are 
nice -- but do you really need a cygwin-target man.exe in your cross 
environment? (no, you don't -- unless you're the man maintainer and are 
building the man package for official distribution).  Cross environments 
really only need the devel tools, and the libraries.

Be my guest...but remember those "corner cases" I mentioned?  square 
peg, round hole?  Go back and read the other thread for some of the 
examples.  It is my contention that some (many?) of our ports are not 
yet ready for autobuilding. (cf. jpeg, ncurses, readline, gettext, ...) 
  It's going to take detailed knowledge of an individual package -- 
either to turn it into a round peg, or custom-develop a script.

Suggestion: pick ONE package. convert it.  present it to the maintainer 
and say "Hey, isn't this cool?  Would you like to package up the next 
official release of XXX this way? I'll help convert your other packages 
too..."

And then move on to the next maintainer's packages...

No, somebody on the xemcs list said "cygwin- fixes this other 
problem in bash related to cygdrive.  MAYBE it also fixes our xemacs 
problem which is related to cygdrive.  Can somebody check?"

And somebody DID check -- and reported "Nope, doesn't fix it"

I think that debugging is ongoing right now.  (But cygwin IS a moving 
target; you can't blame folks for *hoping* that the fix for problem A 
will also nail problem B...and delaying their debug efforts until after 
they get the new kernel with the A-fix.

Yes, I guess our priorities don't match.  I've been in "make world"
mode since the b20 days; I needed to build some core development
packages and package additional (possibly unmaintained) packages.
And, I didn't want to do too much manual work for each update of a
package, maintained or unmaintained.

Yes, I guess you're right.  Indeed, that's why I have the
lots-of-scripts package: to make each peg round by hand.  Then hope it
will fit with the next release of a package too.

Re: Windows 2000 Junction Points

There is a tool in the Win2K ResKit called "linkd.exe" which will alow you
to create "Junction Points" from the command line.

Re: install question

[Peter Buckley]

I have some ideas about how our government should do things. I also have 
ideas about how we should have 4 day workweeks and get paid the same.

What kind of ideas were you looking for? I could probably have an idea 
about anything if you told me something more specific.

Like if you wanted me to offer an idea about what I thought would help 
you install cygwin, maybe you could tell the list the steps that you 
took to install (from the beginning when you went to cygwin.com) and 
when you get the error message, and what the error message says. Then I 
might have an idea about what the problem could be, or even ideas that 
might help fix the problem. And there might be other people on the list 
with ideas, too. Just think of all the help you could get if you told us 
what your problem was.

Full of ideas,
Peter

installation problem

[Lester Ingber]

I've had this problem about 10 out 12 times I've tried to install the
latest cygwin.  I got it stalled twice, but had to abort for otehr
reasons.

The error I get is *after* all files are downloaded OK:

The exception unknown software exception (0xc0fd) occurred in the application at 
location 0x77f8e621.

Click on OK to terminate the program

So, is this error message any help?

Thanks.

Lester

Yes, this tool exists and I use it :)
But I mean to say, wouldn't it be nice and consistent if
ln -s   worked like linkd as opposed to creating a
shortcut. I am aware of "mount" under cygwin but the mount is not
exported to Windows.

No big deal. I can survive.
Thanks!

Re: install question

[Peter Buckley]

Joey,

Sorry I was so sarcastic, I could have said what I did much nicer. I 
have been struggling with that lately in email.

Thanks for the details- but they need to go to the list as well so you 
don't have just lowly old me helping. I replied to your email address 
(and the list, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) because I wasn't sure if you were 
subscribed or not. Some people prefer to not get two copies of the same 
mail (my mailer filters it) but even if you do reply to me, make sure 
you "reply all" so the list can see the details and hopefully the 
resolution of your problem.

I don't know specifically what the problem is- but I have some 
suggestions to try, and maybe someone else on the list will have some 
other suggestions on how to help.

When you ran the setup.exe program (the icon that those guys provide) 
and proceeded with the install, did you choose

Install from Internet
Download from Internet
Install from Local Directory

?

I would recommend trying to just "Download from Internet" first, and 
then when you know you have successfully downloaded all the packages you 
want, run setup.exe again and "Install from Local Directory" to install.

Also, I would try a different download location- C:\Documents and 
Settings\Administrator\My Documents\downloads looks like the place where 
you downloaded setup.exe to, and I am guessing that it is your local 
package directory as well. I recommend moving setup.exe into another 
folder, a simple one with no spaces in the path, such as C:\tmp. Those 
who are in the know, correct me if I am wrong. Setup.exe may handle 
spaces in path names just fine, but it might help rule out an errata if 
you try to run setup.exe from C:\tmp or C:\temp.

Also, have you read the FAQ? There is a section called "What to do if 
setup fails?" that might help you out.

Let us know how it works,
Peter

So the script starts a new instance of xemacs/gnuserv every time
called. Connecting by manually calling gnuclient works ok, though.

Ah... for me I have soft links from /home/ryans to various /cygdrive
places, and I'm going through those soft links to open files, which is
why I didn't clue in to this.

Part of the problem may be that cyggdbm.dll was built with 
--auto-image-base.  It was later demonstrated that this can cause 
problems with fork; you're better off just letting ld assign the default 
dllbase, which means that EVERY process will remap the dll at runtime. 
Thus, no hardcoded conflicts.  Downside: *very* slightly delay in 
loading DLLs -- probably unnoticeable.

(Did I get that right, robert?)

Anyway, I plan to redo cyggdbm "eventually" without the 
--auto-image-base.  Doing so *may* fix this problem, but I'm not sure...

RE: Windows 2000 Junction Points

[Roth, Kevin P.]

My take on this:

ln -s /source /destination should create "symbolic" links; the closest
approximation in the NT world is either "subst.exe" (not quite the same,
really more like `mount` for DOS) or a .LNK file (which, as you've
noticed, doesn't do anything for you from a cmd.exe command line,
although it will work fine from windows explorer).

ln -d /source /destination should perhaps create a junction point (as a
non-administrative windows user couldn't create one either).

Keeping in mind that the Posix representation of the filesystem is just
that, it's probably best to just make a note that linkd and junction are
available tools and not bother having cygwin do this at all.

Windows 2000 (having NTFS 5.0) allows the creation of directory
symbolic links. This can be used as mount points for hard drive
volumes or to symlink directories across file systems. In the
literature, the directory links are called "junction points".

Disk Administration snap-in can be used to mount a drive to a
directory or you can use linkd.exe (ResKit) or junction.exe
(SysInternals).

I have checked if it makes sense using reparse points for symlinks
once when W2K was new.  We had to reject using them since they are
not as flexible as we need it to get POSIX symlinks.  Main reason is
that they have to be absolute windows paths.  So they would have to
be changed each time the mount table is changed in a way which would
influence them.  Many POSIX symlinks are relative links to their
target.  That's completely impossible.  And reparse points to files
aren't supported at all.

They looked good on the first glimpse but after looking under the
hood they are just halfhearted implementations of real symlinks.

cygdrive is /mnt. /mnt/o is a Windoze net-share. Accessing /mnt/o
gives the described behaviour.

-mno-cygwin with newer GCC?

[David Abrahams]

--
Request: If you can remember to, please reply to me personally in addition
to sending your reply to the cygwin list. Thanks!
--

Hi,

I'm trying to use -mno-cygwin with a Cygwin GCC-3.0.2 that I built from
sources. It seems that there are some preprocessor symbol definitions
missing, for example:

_U=01 _L=02 _N=04 _S=010 _P=020 _C=040 _X=0100 _B=0200 // for ctype_base
_GLIBCPP_HAVE_MBSTATE_T

it gets the wrong definition of
   _GLIBCPP_HAVE_ACOSF
et. al. from std_cmath.

Is there a way to make this work?
It seems to me that the MINGW community (and Cygwin for that matter) is
pretty committed to gcc-2.95.x, but I want the improved C++ compiler
available with 3.0.2. Is anyone out there doing a similar thing, or am I
completely out on a limb?

TIA,
Dave

Re: Making perl script running under bash cygwin

Hallo Jorge,

Cannot say the exact raeson, but i left out the 'or die' and it works.
#!/usr/bin/perl

$args = "perl -i.orig -pe \'s!/home/ftp!/!g\' /etc/passwd";
system($args);

Maybe some native english speaker has a better understanding of this
part of perlrun.pod:

   -p   causes Perl to assume the following loop around your
program, which makes it iterate over filename argu­
ments somewhat like sed:

  LINE:
while (<>) {
... # your program goes here
} continue {
print or die "-p destination: $!\n";
}

If a file named by an argument cannot be opened for
some reason, Perl warns you about it, and moves on to
the next file.  Note that the lines are printed auto­
matically.  An error occurring during printing is
treated as fatal.  To suppress printing use the -n
switch.  A -p overrides a -n switch.

"BEGIN" and "END" blocks may be used to capture con­
trol before or after the implicit loop, just as in
awk.

Joseph,

Make sure you do what Peter suggested, IE - I personally do a download from 
internet and then an install from local directory, but others do just an install 
from the internet.  Although it appears as three install options it is really 
only two - download and install or straight install.  

The big thing I question based on what I noticed in your setup.log above is what 
mirror site did you select and also what packages did you choose to download or 
what packages did the chooser show you it was going to download.  I ask because 
I don't see the mirror site listed nor do I see any listed packages and when 
setup downloads files it stores the downloaded names in the setup.log or 
setup.log.full as well as the site name.

A couple of comments: I agree the MS implementation is not
flexible.  However, if the reparse points do not cross file
systems, I believe they can be relative. I do this now and
again..

C:\some\dir\here\and\there\> linkd otherdir ..\..\otherdir

The crappy part about the MS implementation is there doesn't seem
to exist an easy way to obtain the link destination. There's no
'ls -l' equivalent.

You're right about reparse points not working with files, but
hardlinks solve that issue. I was thinking in pseudo code:

-s flag given:
if src == directory 
create_junction()
else
create_shortcut()
endif

RE: I cannot use Linux drive in CygWin

[Andrew Logue]

Try this:

-install the corrupted hard drive into your backup PC, assuming WIN32/FAT32
here...
-boot from a Linux emergency rescue diskette that has both FAT32 support and
your
Linux filesystem support in the kernel.  I've been using this neat little
one called
"Toms rbtb" or something like that.  Go to yahoo.com and search for "toms
boot linux disk".
-login as root and mount the FAT32 partition you are going to copy the data
to.
-attempt to mount your Linux partitions and copy away.  If the hard drive
isn't
corrupted too bad you might luck out and be able to recover some of that
data.

Linkd takes a relative path as argument but it's translated
into an absolute path before storing it in the reparse point.

It's no problem to read the reparse point content so a Cygwin
implementation would have given that information.

No, reparse points are not useful for a POSIX emulation layer.
Sure, it would be possible to add code to Cygwin which allows
to treat reparse points as symlinks but I'm not going to do
that in the near future and I'm not as interested in them as
I was in early 2000.  At least it would again slow down the
symlink evaluation code (the third method to look for).

However, if somebody wants to contribute code...

But hardlinks are a completely different thing.  And they are
actually supported in Cygwin for years on NTFS.  FAT can't have
hardlinks.

You're right.  That was my problem.  You can probably see what I did.  I just
duplicated the usleep line and (apparently) halfheartedly edited for ualarm.

I've patched newlib (the ChangeLog entry is in your name), so the next release
will have the proper prototype.

Thanks for the patch.

Sorry, I mixed contexts. I meant to say, when I needed another
link to a file, I would normally just use a hardlink and if I
need the file to be linked across filesystems, I'd normally
junction point the parent directory - not that frequent I admit,
but hey people do some strange stuff.

Thanks for answering my query and all the hard work you've done.

Re: cygwin 1.3.6-3 and xemacs

[David Rothenberger]

I've done a little debugging and here's what I've found out.

It appears to be a problem/change to the behavior of
cygwin_posix_to_win32_path_list().  When this function is called with a
path of the form "/cygdrive/z/something", it returns an empty string
unless the drive "z" actually exists.  This seems incorrect to me, since
this function always returns a valid Windows path for other POSIX paths,
even if the file or directory doesn't actually exist.

Even more troubling, the function appears to return garbage when called
with "/cygdrive/z" or "/cygdrive/z/", unless "z" is a valid drive.

Dave

P.S. I used the following little test program to play with this.

#include 

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
char* name = argv[1];
char* tmp;
printf("name = %s\n", name);
tmp = alloca (cygwin_posix_to_win32_path_list_buf_size(name));
cygwin_posix_to_win32_path_list(name, tmp);
printf("%s -> %s\n", name, tmp);
return 0;
}

It sounds like you have an old version of the sources.

Re: Can't find install-sh or install.sh

[Peter Buckley]

I think Chris is right that you have an old version of the sources, and 
you would be best off getting the new version. But if you still have the 
problem, you can create an empty install-sh or install.sh and IIRC this 
should "fake" configure into continuing. This is the case with some few 
other things that configure quits over, but YMMV and DTTAHK.

HTH,
Peter

gdbserver

[Matt Sykes]

What is the status of gdbserver on cygwin?  Does it exist?  Is it
usable?

I was unable to compile gdbserver from the source .tar.bz2 in the
cygwin distribution.  I also tried the "raw" gdb-5.0 sources from fsf
which don't compile either (expectedly so I presume).

My steps were:

--
tar jxvf gdb-20010428-3.tar.bz2

cd gdb-20010428-3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gdb
make

# I tried with and without the following 4 lines
cd gdb
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gdb
make
cd ..

cd gdb/gdbserver
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gdb
make

---
error output is:

I wish to remote debug through tcp/ip from one cygwin machine to

However what would *really* be nice is to remote debug windows apps
using the i686-mingw32-g++ / i686-mingw32-gdb cross environment on

target).  This should work if I can get the former to work.

I dunno if that is related to the problem I'm having.  I'm trying to
open a file like ~/project/foo, and ~/project is a symlink to
/cygdrive/d/project, and drive D certainly exists for me.

Problem starting rxvt with Cygwin 1.3.6-4

[John Peacock]

> $ rxvt
> failed to load libX11.dll

I see no evidence of this file (though I see the suspiciously named libW11.dll).
I searched the list archive and found only these messages:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00254.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-05/msg01727.html

neither of which is particularly helpful.

I swear I never installed XFree at all before, but I just recently started 
using rxvt (and was enjoying it immensely).  I reinstalled rxvt and cygwin, to
no effect.  I did just reinfest my machine with Rational Suite Enterprise, so
god knows what that has done to me...

Never mind; I just read through /usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2.README and realized
that Rational had set the environment variable 

DISPLAY=:0.0

once I set that to 

DISPLAY=:0

and rxvt comes up like normal.

NOTE: since I was using rxvt as part of my CYGWIN.BAT file, I had to do:

chdir \cygwin\bin

set DISPLAY=:0
rxvt -e bash --login -i

in order to make sure that rxvt worked properly.

RE: Making perl script running under bash cygwin

[Robinow, David]

system returns 0. 'system(...) or die' should always die.  Does it run the
command first?
  Does this have anything to do with cygwin? i.e., does it perform
differently on other systems?

Hi, I have this :
system("perl -i.orig -pe 's!/home/ftp!/!g' c:/cygwin/etc/passwd") or die;

And it dies always althought it works if I run it by Hand in the cygwin
bash.
Why?

Re: -mno-cygwin and SDL

[CaetSith7]

When I removed the -I /usr/include it seemed to compile fine (the test1.C is just a 
skeleton so I'll have to test more later).  Thanks for the help,

Re: cygwin 1.3.6-3 and xemacs

[David Rothenberger]

I think it's related.  My little test program shows that when
cygwin_posix_to_win32_path_list() is called with "/cygdrive", it also
returns an empty string.  Strangely, "/cydrive/" returns "\".

I have no idea why xemacs is calling the function with "/cygdrive" when
following symlinks like the ones you described, but it does.

Maybe cgf can fix this behavior, too...

Why isn't my NT username created for Cygwin USER?

[Rosenzweig, Daniel Z (Dan), NNAD]

In NT, I have a username, lets call it, 'myname', which has admin rights (for the 
local PC). When I did a 
try mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd it never created a listing  for danr -- it created one 
for Administrator --- and that's what my $USER and home directory are set for. On the 
other hand, Cygwin set my $USERNAME to danr. What's going on here?

Thanks,
Dan

I suspect that this is different, unrelated behavior.

And, just to be clear, multiple messages repeating roughly the same info
do not help in debugging the problem.  Test cases, like what you provided
earlier, do.

1.3.6 not linked on website?

[Roland Glenn McIntosh]

Has there been too much mailing list chatter (read: issues) about 1.3.6 for it to have 
been "officially" released?  cygwin.com says "latest" is 1.3.5.  I realize I could get 
a snapshot if I wanted it.

Just wondering about development cycles.

Specifics would be helpful here.  Exactly where do you see on the Web 
site that 1.3.5 is the "latest"?  When I go to www.cygwin.com I see two
indications that 1.3.6 is the latest.  The first is right next to the 
"Install Now" indicator and the other is the announcement in the "News"
section.  Both of these are about halfway through the page.

So where do you see something that's caused your confusion?

RE: Terminate batch job (Y/N)?

[Alex Malinovich]

I'm surprised that no one has responded with the "quick" answer yet. We
had a short discussion about this a few months ago, and there are 2 ways
to get around it:

A) Instead of running cygwin.bat, just create a shortcut to run "bash
--login -i"
B) Modify cygwin.bat, and in front of the "bash --login -i" line add
"start". (i.e. start bash --login -i)

Sometimes when I exit the Cygwin shell I am prompted to terminate a

Has anyone else experienced this?  Anyone know what might be causing

xemacs users -- please try latest cygwin snapshot...

[Christopher Faylor]

I think I at least fixed the problem reported so succinctly by
David Rothenberger.

Since I didn't have an actual test case for the other problem, I
could only take a stab at what it could be, but it's possible that
problem is fixed, too.

My availability is, again, rather limited in the next day or so,
so don't panic if I don't respond to further bug reports.

If this snapshot solves the problems, I will release a new version
of 1.3.6.

I don't have any xemacs specific problems any more either, but a more

Absolutely -- for a lot of nice work!!


Well, I downloaded cygwin-inst-20011206.tar.bz2, changed setup.ini to
"know" the file and installed it. XEmacs doesn't crash any more
accesing /cygdrive paths. But whenever cygdrive-prefix != / I cannot
work with the directories either -- regardless of the application. I
cannot traverse into the directory structure at all, it seems:

Everything working with cygdrive-prefix == / I do in bash: 

[mount -b -s -c /cygdrive]

problem with Rational Suite Enterprise installation

[Scott Wingo]

Hello,

I am running Windows 98, and I've recently installed Rational Suite
Enterprise.  The other day, when I ran Cygwin, I the 'pwd' command returned
"/cygdrive/d/RATIONAL/RATION~1/NUTCROOT"  How can I get it back to normal?
I saw a posting regarding a similar problem with Windows NT in your
archives--I tried the suggested changes to cygwin.bat, but the problem
persists.  What should I do?

Thanks,

This seems like an incredible amount of work to just install the DLL.

Are you *really* getting a list of all of your drives under /cygdrive/c?
Or is this a typo?  

It seems to me that this should be:
bash$ ll /cygdrive

>,[ll /cygdrive/c/c]
>| ls: /cygdrive/c/c: Not a directory

Not surprising, unless you have a 'c' directory on your c: drive.

   Never mind; I just read through /usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2.README and realized
   that Rational had set the environment variable 
   
set DISPLAY=:0
rxvt -e bash --login -i

This also works:
  rxvt -display :0 -e bash --login -i

I have my display set to 127.0.1.0:0 so that ssh X11 port forwarding works.

Re: latest snapshot fixes xemacs problems

[David Rothenberger]

I am unable to repeat the problems you've described.  I tried with the
cygwin-inst-20011206.tar.bz2 and with a DLL I compiled myself from the
latest CVS sources.  The only real differences I can see are that I'm
using textmode mounts and my CYGWIN value is a bit different.

Except this step was a 'll /cygdrive/c' in the previous message,
even though it showed the contents of /cygdrive, for some reason.
It seems like there was either a typo or a thinko somwhere in the
original message.

Segmentation fault when using gdb & pthreads

[Evan Pollan]

All--

I posted this a few weeks back and didn't get any response.  I've searched
the
archives and haven't seen anything helpful, so I'm reposting...

I'm trying to use gdb on a simple pthreads app. The app runs fine, but I
wanted
to give the gdb a test drive.  However, whenever I step into or over any
pthread code, I get a segmentation fault.  In my case, a call to
pthread_cond_init() causes the SIGSEGV.

The code is compiled w/ -g, and I can step through the execution for
everything
up to the pthreads code.  Is this a limitation w/ gdb or am I missing either
a
compilation or debugging flag?  I'm using the full cygwin distribution as of
cygwin-1.3.5-3 on Win2000.

Here's the seg fault as it appears when I encounter the pthread_cond_init()
call:

(gdb) run
Starting program:
/cygdrive/c/home/Evan/src/c++/QueueProcessor/Driver.exe

Breakpoint 1, QueueProcessor::QueueProcessor (this=0x22fd54)
at QueueProcessor.cpp:39
39{
Current language:  auto; currently c++
(gdb) step
41rc = pthread_cond_init(&_condition, NULL);
(gdb) print rc
$1 = 0
(gdb) step

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x77e86e72 in _libkernel32_a_iname ()
(gdb)


thanks for the help,
Evan

Well, I installed only the DLL first. Since it didn't work, and I

are none, accroding to your comment:), I thought I I might install the
complete -inst tar-ball.

Right. Then, there is a 'c' dir in /cygdrive/c/ according to ls

SIGINT going to wrong process?

[Ryan T. Sammartino]

I do development under Linux and Cygwin.

In my makefiles, I have some nice convenience targets like "make debug",
which fires up the debugger and loads my elf on to the MIPS machine that
I'm developing for (cross-compiling etc).

Under Linux, if I do "make debug", and hit Ctrl-C, then gdb passes the
SIGINT on to the process being debugged, and then I can do stuff within
gdb.

Under Cygwin, Ctrl-C seems to go to BOTH gdb AND make, which then kills
my gdb.  Here is some output:



...program is running, then I git CTRL-C...
make: *** [debug] Interrupt

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.


ryans@EAC204125 ~/project
warning: Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x81fc8.

GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x81fc8
$ and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter
or stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x81fc8 for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the
`set heuristic-fence-post' command.
0x00081fc8 in ?? ()
(gdb) The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n)

ryans@EAC204125 ~/project
$


So you can see, I hit CTRL-C,"make" gets the interrupt, I get my Cygwin
prompt, AND gdb outputs its usual "I've been interrupted" stuff, but
then make kills the process.


At one time in the past (last year, or there abouts), this used to work
under Cygwin the same as Linux.  


Any ideas on this? Where can I start poking in the source to try and fix
this, or at least get some better debug info that would be helpful?


(Hope the above makes sense... hard to describe without a live
demonstration)

why does cygwin default security setup give EVERYONE access everywhere?

[Gene C. Ruzicka]

my pc uses windows 2000 professional, and my cygwin folder is 
C:\cygwin . i've been looking into giving co-workers access to 
the cygwin setup on my pc, but i've noticed something strange: 
it seems that the default security setup allows EVERYONE full
access to the cygwin folder and all subfolders.  but i certainly
don't want any user on my pc to have this sort of access, and
to prevent that from happening, i'm going to have to rework
the cygwin profiling.  i'm something of a pc newbie, and it's
been rather painful sorting out just how to specify the
security settings appropriately.

it seems to me that it would have made far more sense to make
the cygwin files have the same security profile(s) as any other
file that happens to get installed on the system.  that way, 
it would be easy for me simply specify that any user would have
full access to his own directories/subfolders, but only read/execute
access to cygwin software, and no access whatsoever to the
folders of another user.

question: what was the reason for giving EVERYONE full access to
the cygwin folder and everything in it?

btw, i'll shortly be making another post regarding organizing user
files that's partially related to this post.
