Re: gcc broken in 1.3.9 ?
Maybe you haven't installed the gcc or binutils package. To bring everything back to normal just run again the setup.exe program and make sure you select both binutils and gcc packages. If the problem still persists you have to attach the output of the failing build and send it to the list.

Please, provide the output of the following commands 'which touch' and 'which mkdir'. I see you have a hell of a PATH environment on your system and also you have uwin which provides this tools (touch, mkdir) too. Also there is this strange C:\NTWORK~1\COMMON\COMMON folder which cntains some unix tools too (ls.exe for example and maybe more) - and it also precedes the occurance of the cygwin bin directory in your PATH. And there is the cygwinb19.dll in the window system dir which makes me think that the tools in the C:\NTWORK~1\COMMON\COMMON may be linked against this old version of the cygwin emulation dll. All this means exactly one thing - TROUBLE! A simple thing you can try to do - move the cygwin bin directory in the beginning of you PATH variable and then try to create dir or touch files again. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ash-20020131-1
I've updated the version of ash in cygwin/latest to 20020131-1. This version contains the man page for ash now. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. The, run setup and answer all of the questions. Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

RE: GCC and getcwd
Greetings,
I was pretty sure it was a conceptual problem, so thanks to
everybody for confirmation. Now, I simply have my wrapper
WinBatch program pass the path to its executable which is
guaranteed to be in the same folder as the text file I am
looking for.
Curiously, up till this point, I had assumed that because
I was passing paths in my programs parameters that they were
being corrected so escape character sequences wouldn't occur
in the string. However, now I load all of the paths my
program needs from a single text file without any corrections
and my files still open even though I thought the single
slashes would indicate escape sequences. It works anyway.
Weird.
Thanks again.

Still, it's unclear how he has gcc and not binutils if he skipped the gcc installation. More information is needed about what he installed and didn't install and how he installed it. But this information may prove academic. Simply rerunning setup and installing gcc, double-checking that binutils is installed too as part of this should be all that's necessary to resolve the problem.

changing default text type without reinstall?
Platform: CygWin 1.3.2, CygWin/XFree86 4.1.0, Win2k Is it possible to change from text type "Unix" to text type "DOS", without reinstall? Will changing the text type give cygwin/xfree86 problems?

auctex can only see .tex files in HOME directory

Re: problems with gdbm ????
Okay, it looks like we have confirmation that gdbm is not fully ported w.r.t. text/binary issues. (Its inclusion in the official distribution predated the *requirement* that this be completed -- at the time it was only a suggestion). So, I hereby solicit patches that change open(, "r") to open(, "rb") open(, "w") to open(, "wb") etc. and fopen(, FLAGS) to fopen(, FLAGS | O_BINARY) at all **appropriate** places in the gdbm code. Thanks, Chuck volunteer gdbm maintainer for cygwin.

Cron v3.0.1-5 setup issue w/ Cygwin v1.3.6
Hey Cron Experts, I using Cygwin version: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 PVLCRAIGR 1.3.6(0.47/3/2) 2001-12-08 17:02 i686 unknown and I'm trying to get Cron running on 3 machines, WinNT w/ SP6 and Win2K, but having pretty much the same problem on all. Cron runs, but fails to launch the crontab processes. Looks like a configuration issue, but with what? I can get the service running just fine by using the following: cygrunsrv -I cron -d "Cygwin CRON" -p /usr/sbin/cron -a '-D' cygrunsrv -S cron or cygrunsrv -I "Cygwin cron" -p /usr/sbin/cron -a '-D' -e "CYGWIN=ntsec" cygrunsrv --start "Cygwin cron" NOTE: I've also tried the "-p" option with the full pathname to C:/PerVigil/usr/sbin/cron Used a simple crontab -e to add: * * * * * /usr/bin/date > $HOME/date.log * * * * * echo "Hello from CRON" > /tmp/echo.log But always receive the following messages in the event viewer: 1.

If his is the case, you should first build a local 3.0.3 compiler (./configure ..., make bootstrap, make install), then use the 3.0.3 system compiler to build the 3.0.3 cross compiler. P.S.

RE: FW: Updated: rxvt-2.7.2-8
1st - thanks for the very specific instruction. I would probably have never figured that out on my own, unless it's already in an FAQ somewhere. I did look in the Cygwin FAQ and didn't see it. (Any chance this could be added to the FAQ?). 2nd - is there any handy little tool out there that would have helped me figure out that my PC's "DELETE" key sends the "sequence?" of meta-[3~? 3rd - I guess my real question was this - if cygwin is *always* used on a windows PC, shouldn't the version of readline that's distributed with cygwin be able to handle the delete key the same way that other windows/cmd.exe apps do, out of the box, with no requirement for a user to find this setting and add it to ~/.inputrc? 4th - Thanks for the detailed notes. I appreciate the comments. Personal rant - This is probably the biggest reason I get along a bit better in windows than Unix - how do I ever figure out that ESC,[,3,~ is what happens when I hit my "delete" key, then how do I find which file to put the rebinding in, then how do I figure out that ESC maps to \M-, then what is the name of the command to bind to (delete-char in this case), and on and on. If you throw in the ability to telnet to a unix host from multiple environments (mac, pc, dumb tube) with different keyboard layouts, and you throw in multiple Unix(-like) host environments (Irix,Unix,Linux,Cygwin) it's enough to drive a person mad, especially one like me that doesn't remember details like these very easily.

The switches for which compiler is compiling the output of Bison are in the bison.simple or bison.hairy file. There isn't any pre- configuration to set up which compiler you will be using...what you're trying to do is to generate portable C or C++ code. The problem is that the compiler switching in bison.simple used to work, and now it doesn't. The patch is very small and simple.

Why not a news server?
Why not simply set up a news server instead of this mail list. I find the mail list deficient in several areas.

Secondly there's no easy or convenient way to response to individual issues (I get a digest of cygwin stuff emailed to me). Seems to me that nntp was designed specifically for such communications and a number of companies have set up news servers for such things.

Re: Why not a news server?
Andrew, A newsgroup won't change the signal-to-noise ratio nor alleviate effort on your part in sorting it all out. Don't get the digest and you'll have solved all the digest-related problems. Avail yourself of the abilities of mail clients to sort incoming message into different mailbox files. Any mail client worth its salt can do this, including some of the free / open-source ones.

I will be the first one to make a comment of a NNTP server for hosting this group and possibly the other groups for Cygwin, isn't that after all what a NNTP group is designed for. I would be one to second Andrew's idea because of the idea that often times I am in need of searching about a certain idea in the archives and not only does it bring up the relative needed information, it also brings up stuff from many years back.

(I'm sure there will be some). Well at least it's been years since this topic came up. It used to come up every few months. :-( OK, there are differences now compared to when this topic was last discussed so maybe it warrants "discussion". However, I'd highly recommend that anyone that wishes to discuss this review the email list archives. I think it was generally agreed that no one objected to the use of a news server so long as it didn't replace the email list. In this context, I believe the main reason that a news server has never been implemented is that no one has volunteered to set one up and run it.

Re: Why not a news server?
I like the mailing list. I don't have a news server at work, so I wouldn't be able to access a newsgroup like we are discussing. I have no problem searching the mailing list archives with google- I wasn't aware that there was a date at which the MLA were truncated- I have seen stuff a few years back IIRC. I tried a different mailing list with a "digest version" and it was awful- I won't try any digests any time soon, I simply wipe out my cygwin-email folder when it gets around 1000 messages and rely on the archives. -Peter Daniel Adams wrote: > I will be the first one to make a comment of a NNTP server for hosting this > group and possibly the other groups for Cygwin, isn't that after all what a > NNTP group is designed for.

Telnet Daemon and Win2k Telnet Client
I have noticed that when I try to connect to my computer via telnet that I have setup correctly using the cygwin stuff from a computer using the Win2k telnet client that does the following as an example: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.3.9(0.51/3/2) (dur-700) (tty0) login: dan Password: Login incorrect login: The only thing is that it does not give me an opportunity to enter in a password into the prompt to login. Has anyone else noticed this type of behavior from the two programs. What is interesting though is that no other combination of client server that includes one of the two (cygwin server/win2k client) will give this same type of problem.

RE: Why not a news server?
Why should a news server replace a mailing list? Has someone seen the PHP mailing list recently?

Often get lost trying to track down a thread. No news servers do not make searching that much more easier but IMHO they make discussing things much more easier, which is, after all, what this list is about, discussing Cygwin. And again, currently this is not very convenient. For example, Larry here emailed me directly at my work email address about this topic. I hit reply and replied to him. But our discussion did not go to the Cygwin mail list. I noticed, just as it was too late, that I forgot to add on the [EMAIL PROTECTED], so you all didn't get that first response. Then Larry emails me again, continuing our discussion of this issue. This time I remembered. As I said email is not conducive to discussions, which is why news and news servers exist no? Also, as has been stated, it's a big waste of bandwidth and space to send everybody a copy of the thread, especially since rarely is anybody interested in all of it. >>> I think it was generally agreed that no one objected to the use of a >>> news server so long as it didn't replace the email list. >>> >>> In this context, I believe the main reason that a news server has >>> never been implemented is that no one has volunteered to set one up >>> and run it.

But in specific my company doesn't have a news server either. So I could not read the comp.os.cygwin news group at work (where I need it more) save using something like groups.google.com or something else like that (which I hate). I can, however, read news from say Netscape and Microsoft and other company hosted news groups. And you don't need to be big to have company hosted news groups. For example, Twelve Tone Systems (makers of Cakewalk, a music sequencing program) have a news server as well as even individual, not so company oriented places like Steve Gibson's grc.com And Julian Haight's spamcop.net.. However such a news server needs to be hosted and I do not have the resources to host such (unless ya'll want to hit my DSLed Windows XP box at my house and will chip in for a new hard drive! :-). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Actually, I think the problem was at your end. I replied to all so my response (originally) went to the list (and you). You probably got two responses. When you replied, you didn't reply to all, so only I got the response. Unlike allot of other frequent responders to the list, I don't reset my 'Reply-To' field to point to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I respond. It's just a choice. I don't object to anyone doing this (or not). I also don't generally redirect email that folks send directly to me back to the list. Again, I have no problem with folks doing that. I just don't generally myself (for reasons that aren't really germane to this thread). However, I would like to point out that while these are good arguments for having a news server for Cygwin, I don't believe that the Cygwin community needs to be convinced of this. So long as there is the option of using either the news server or the mailing list (or both), I think most would agree that it is a win for everybody. So I don't think anybody needs to justify the argument. That's been done before as well. What has been missing in the past has been the 'follow-up' to the discussion of the news server. So, just so it's clear, the reason we don't already have a news server is that no one was interested *enough* to set one up and maintain it, although there has always seemed to be quite a bit of interest in discussing the need or desire to have a news server. I think it was generally agreed that no one objected to the use of a news server >so long as it didn't replace the email list.

(I'm sure there will be some). You ask why not? Let me answer that with a question. How many people do you know that have a news reader but don't have an email client? Chances are that it's slim to none while on the other hand you'll have a great number of people that don't have a news reader but do have email. Using a news server for something that people aren't forced to use will limit your subscriber base simply because there are those, such as myself, that just don't have the time to fool with finding a good reader, learn it, and then use it accordingly. As they say, two heads are better than one, but when you start using a format that is foreign to a majority of the internet masses you're going to start limiting your creative pool. Just to belay the comments on this, no one needs to suggest that Outlook Express comes with a news reader because I've toyed with it, and from my experience and from what I've been told by others, it's a joke of a reader. As for your issue with corrupted messages, why not just switch to regular delivery and setup your mail client to move all messages from this list into a folder of it's own? A good email client will even sort email messages based on subject similar to that of the method a news server stores messages. It's just my opinion, but as far as I can see the only real advantage to using 'news' instead of a listserv is that you're not wasting bandwidth on people that aren't even reading the list.

RE: Why not a news server?
Actually, I didn't say that the news server should or has to replace the email list. I personally don't believe that is the case at all. I was simply reiterating the major concern of the previous discussions on this subject. If the new server did replace the list, it was clear that at least some members of the Cygwin community would perceive this as a loss. So the conclusion was that the news server must be *in addition to* the Cygwin email list, not replacing it. There was never any dissenting remarks concerning the news server once it was 'decided' that both could exist concurrently. Also, I don't believe that anyone ever believed it would not be technically possible to create and maintain both the email list and the news server (which I believe is what your comment about the PHP mailing list is meant to clarify). The only thing that has been missing in the past is the interest by someone to actually make the news server a reality. Sorry if my original explanation of the previous discussions on this subject made my point unclear to you.

Re: Why not a news server?
Yeah, I've too noticed this inconvience of having to use reply all to get it to go back to the list. The most frustrating thing about this is that this is a setting in the listserv software, whether it be elzm, mailman, majordomo, or listserv.

A simple change in the configuration would alleviate that and would likely increase participation on the list.

John's suggestion isn't the solution, but it sparks recollection in the minds of others as the what the resolution indeed is.

Re: gcc broken in 1.3.9 ?
Hi Phil, I don't mean to imply that you aren't capable or experienced with Cygwin. I do mean to point out that setup.exe is supposed to install binutils automatically if you install gcc. Since Pavel suggested that this may be your problem, I wanted to make sure that the general public reading this list did not believe that setup didn't understand package dependencies (which it does). If you're having a problem here (it sounds like you're not), it's a bug and we need to get more information about this. Pavel and I both felt that the information you gave to the list on this matter was insufficient to help you diagnose the problem at your end. As I said, setup.exe will install binutils and anything else it needs unless you tell it to do otherwise. Without more information, I certainly can't be sure of what you did and how you did it. That was the basis for my comments about your installation. With the slightly more detailed information you provided in your response, I can say a couple of things. First, if you skipped nothing, then I'm assuming you installed with setup.exe and that you now have gcc and binutils installed. If it doesn't work for you, it may well be that you had previously set some environment for gcc, which worked fine with the old installation, but which confuses the new. You might want to check into that. In addition, looking at the output of cygcheck -s -r -v may prove helpful. In particular, I notice you mentioned below that you previously had a cygwin1.dll in your /winnt directory. This is a non-standard place to install this DLL. setup.exe won't put it there. If you want to be sure your custom installation isn't causing you problems, you need to undo all the changes you did and reinstall using setup.exe in the way it installs things. If you tinker with file locations manually after the install, that's your prerogative but the list really can't help you debug that installation. The most that can be said is 'delete all the current stuff and reinstall again', which is pretty much what I've been saying. That's all I was trying to get across.

Cygwin relies on that behavior, in fact. In case it isn't obvious, Cygwin uses windows pids, which can be recycled rapidly. Relying on any specific behavior for PID numbers is really not a good idea, even on UNIX. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I updated to emacs 21.1 in the hopes that my problem would go away.
Alas, it did not.

I have cygwin as the shell to run when one types M-x shell. I presume
(though I do not know for sure) that this means cygwin is also the
shell that emacs/auctex uses to run latex.
The only command I changed from the tex-site.el defaults was the print
command (to "dvips -o") in (defcustom TeX-printer-list
'(("Local" "dvips -o %s.ps %s" "lpq") ...))
The relevant lines from my .emacs file are given below:
Steve

The book has a sample implementation of fork for NT. Buy the book if you are interested. I doubt that either Corinna or I want to transcribe the book for this mailing list. And, I'm pretty sure that neither of us has that much experience with the routines in the book. I did play with the implementation and realized that it would take quite a bit of work to perfect for cygwin. For one thing, it doesn't seem to concern itself with dlls.

Well, the valid arguement against that, would of course be, if they want an answer bad enough have them search the archives of the list for it, or else join the list for the short time that it takes them to resolve their issue.

Pardon the intrusion here, but this sounds like it could be connected with a problem that I'm working on. I've got an issue with an application that I'm trying to get to fork into bg. Of course, this application, eggdrop, isn't written to fork with cygwin and therefore I'm trying to patch it so that it will. The interesting thing about this is that I can start eggdrop with an & but it still doesn't return the controlling terminal. What difference it does make, though, is that starting it with & allows me to Crtl-Break it once it's running and it returns the controlling terminal while the program continues in bg. I would guess that this is an issue related with forking issues under cygwin as I searched the archives and it seems to be an ongoing issue. From what I can tell, though, it seems like quite a few people have gotten this to work? I ask you people of the list, should I even bother beating my head against the wall here or just forget about it? Cheers, Greg P.S. I would have dropped this awhile back with the exception of the cron application. It appears to fork quite nicely under Win98, my OS. Now maybe I'm wrong here, but seems to me if one app can fork that surely another should be able to, no? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

It's slow but it should work as well as UNIX fork for a ported application. The only exception that I can think of is if you use dlopen to load a non-cygwin DLL. In that case there is a problem with relocation of the DLL after a fork. If you consider the number of applications that have been ported to cygwin, it would be pretty amazing if there was some basic problem with fork. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Go to the cygwin web site at http://cygwin.com/ and look for the word "Source" in the left column. Alternatively, click on the "source" column when you install cygwin via the "Install Cygwin Now!" setting. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
