Using cygwin without mount
Hi, I find cygwin very useful. I use many commands like grep, rcs, ecc. on my Windows machine. I run this command not from bash, from the Windows shell (cmd). All work if the commands and dll are in the path. Some times there is a problem. For example rcsdiff call diff. Now, without a mount, the rcsdiff says that /usr/bin/diff is not found even if diff is in the path! Can I configure cygwin so that it reads executables before from system path? This allow me to easy install only necessaries command without double the path both in the enviroment variable and registry. Thanks in advance.

Jose, You need to execute "tar -jxvf cygipc-1.11-1.tar.bz2"... As for why cygipc isn't included in the official distro is explained on the cygutils website.

Setup failures over the last few days
Short answer: use http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/setup-20020510.exe. Long answer: The new MD5 rule + the number of packages which increased recently caused a yacc parsing failure. This has been corrected in CVS for the pre-release version and for HEAD. As I've seen no bug reports on the UPX support, I've started compressing setup with UPX as a matter of routine. Please, try the setup linked above, and if you have any errors let me know. AFAICT though, it should be ready for widespread use now. I'm not planning on updating the current setup, as 1) It was about to be obsoleted anyway and 2) Users will still have the stack failure/crash anyway, so they will have to update manually regardless.

I only have addressed the newlib patch you > suppose. Sorry :-( I don't see anything wrong with the patch :}. Unless cygipc get's dll'ised, an app can only link against one of cygipc or the cygwin1.dll implementation. When we release the cygserver IPC code, folk will have to recompile *anyway* to get the new functionality, and existing users won't be affected. For developers that want to mix and match, they can do the following: install cygipc. backup: sys/types.h ipc.h sem.h shm.h cygipc.a (and remove from the disk) libcygwin.a to a cygipc_backup tarball. patch newlib's sys/types.h. rebuild cygwin with the dll export patch included. install cygwin. backup: sys/types.h libcygwin.a ipc.h sem.h shm.h to a cygwin_ipc tarball. Now you can with a little effort switch between the cygwin and cygipc versions for compile time. For runtime there is no conflict.

where is cygintl-1.dll?
Hi, all -- After somehow tanking my installation and deleting c:\utils\cygwin as well as my old c:\utils\cygnus, I believe I finally have a good install from current sources. It took quite a bit to convince the setup program that I really wanted to install all of these things; some things it thought I still had (even though I deleted the registry keys, wiped the then-empty c:\utils\cygwin dir, and checked c:\tmp = $TEMP = $TMP for any install log temp files, and then even ran setup saying "uninstall" for everything!), and some it thought I didn't want (probably 'cuz I hadn't had them in my earlier install or such). I can run bash and do an ls; yay. Certain programs, though, such as cat and grep cause a popup A required DLL file, CYGINTL-1.DLL, was not found and I thus can't do very much. I have looked through c:\windows (on my Win98 system) and found no cyg*.dll files, and through c:\utils\cygwin (where I installed everything) and found no cygin*.dll files (though there are a bunch of other cyg*.dll files in c:\utils\cygwin\bin). Any ideas what I need to do next? BTW, I found what registry keys and the like to delete in the FAQ at the web site, but I haven't found setup.log or setup.log.full also mentioned therein. It's not in the source directory (off on d:), the install directory as noted, or in $TMP. ... Oh, wait! It's a good thing I botched my passphrase as I sent this the first time, 'cuz a windows find just found it in c:\utils\cygwin\var\log (not a bad expectation); I suppose the docs should be updated.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New: various apache modules (including PHP4)
There are various pre-compiled apache modules available now via the cygwin net distribution. The package directories for those reside under the release/apache tree. Contributed packages are: apache-php-4.2.0-1 PHP4 web scripting language apache-mod_auth_mysql-1.11-1 HTTP Basic authentication using MySQL apache-mod_auth_ntsec-1.7-1HTTP Basic authentication using Cygwin's ntsec apache-mod_dav-1.0.3-1.3.6-1 WebDAV support apache-mod_ssl-2.8.8-1.3.24-1 SSL/TLS support The PHP4 module includes build-in support for bzip2, zlib, mysql, postgresql, openssl, gettext, libxml2. BEWARE: Because of various DLL dependencies the PHP4 module needs to rebase some Cygwin DLLs on your system. This is usually performed while the postinstall script runs for PHP4. -- 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 will cause user confusion if your package already contains rebase.exe...e.g. "I installed apache-php4, then I installed the 'setup' package, then I installed the new apache-php4 -- and now rebase is missing" reason: 1st apache-php4 had rebase, then the 'setup' package replaced that version with its own copy. Then, when the user upgraded to the new apache-php4 package -- which no longer had rebase -- the 'uninstall old apache-php4' procedure deleted rebase. It was a bad idea to include rebase.exe in your dist. (You don't see Jason including a cygipc binary in his postgres package). Everything on sourceware is allowed to depend ONLY on tools ALSO available on sourceware. We made one exception: postgres (cygipc) and work is progressing to replace cygipc with cygwin-daemon. Python was added to the dist in working form, with no external deps. Later, we noticed a problem; Jason tracked it down to rebasing DLLs, and wrote a tool to fix it -- and that tool will be part of the standard dist soon. However, even though you (currently) need a non-dist tool in order to use python, we didn't want to *pull* python from the dist. But you are *adding* a new package, that a priori requires a tool that is currently not in the dist. Bad. You probably should have waited (pushed?) until rebase was in the dist before distributing apache-php4. But that's just MO. --Chuck -- 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/
Cygwin compile fails
All: My question is, "How do I build cygwin?" An application I built entirely in the cygwin environment repeatedly seg faults and gdb shows the stack 8 frames into cygwin at the seg fault. It would appear necessary to build a debugging version of cygwin in order to resolve this problem and this may be useful to cygwin development as well. So I have downloaded cygwin from cvs and followed Peter Buckley's instructions for building it: Then you need to creat a parrallel build directory: bash$ cd /winsup bash$ mkdir build bash$ cd build Now run the cygwin-build script (below). etc... However the compilation does not complete ending with the following error: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mel/projects/winsup/build/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin' c++ -L/home/mel/projects/winsup/build/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup -L/home/mel/proj ects/winsup/build/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin -L/home/mel/projects/winsup/b uild/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/w32api/lib -isystem /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/include -isystem /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/include -isystem /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/w32api/include -isystem /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/newlib/libc/sys/cygwin -isystem /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/newlib/libc/sys/cygwin32 -B/home/mel/projects/ winsup/build/i686-pc-cygwin/newlib/ -isystem /home/mel/projects/winsup/build/i686-pc-cygwin/newlib/targ-include -isystem /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/newlib/libc/include -c -nostdinc++ -nostdinc - DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -Wall -Wwrite-strings -fno-common -pipe -Winline -fbu iltin -I. -I/home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin-I/home/mel/pro jects/winsup/src/newlib/libc/sys/cygwin/include -I/home/mel/projects/winsup /src/winsup/cygwin/config/i386 -I/latest/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2 .95.3-5//include -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -o ./shm.o /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc:81: syntax error before `*' /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc:83: syntax error before `*' /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc:88: `filemap' was not declared in this scope /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc:90: parse error before `if' /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc:93: `hattachmap' was not declared in this scope /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc:93: ANSI C++ forbids declaration `CloseHandle' with no type /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/cygwin/shm.cc:93: `int CloseHandle' redeclared as different kind of symbol /home/mel/projects/winsup/src/winsup/w32api/include/winbase.h:977: previous declaration of `BOOL CloseHandle(void *)' Any assistance resolving this problem would be appreciated.

By clicking on this link, I got the 2.194.2.24 version. However, using http://cygwin.com/setup.exe downloaded the 2.194.2.26 version. Then when I went back to http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe, it downloaded the 2.194.2.26 version. Must be a caching issue with my proxy. Anyway... The 2.194.2.26 version works for me on selecting the "Download from Internet" option, while the 2.194.2.24 version was hanging at a parse error. One funny thing about the 2.194.2.26 version is that when selecting packages, there is a second "Cygwin Setup" window that says "This space left intentionally blank". I'm not sure what that's all about. It doesn't seem to cause any problems. However, the "Install from Local Directory" option (after doing the Download from Internet) gave me quite a few errors. First, there were multiple windows with lots of parse errors. After clicking OK on four or five of them, the install continued and appeared to work. During the install, there was a pop-up that said "Can't open (null) for reading". I clicked OK and the install continued. When the install finished, everything appeared OK, but I'm very apprehensive about all the errors and pop-up windows. The first line in the "Parse Errors" window is: setup.ini line 3297: parse error, unexpected $undefined Thereafter, all lines look like this: setup.ini line 3297: unrecognized line in setup.ini headers (do you have the latest setup?) The line numbers keep incrementing up to 3332. Clicking OK brings up another window that looks the same but the last line number is higher. As I said before, after four or five windows, it continues with the installation and completes it successfully. The strange thing about this is that there are only 2216 lines in the setup.ini file (from mirrors.rcn.net). There's nothing interesting in the setup.log or setup.log.full files.

By clicking on this link, I got the 2.194.2.24 version. However, using http://cygwin.com/setup.exe downloaded the 2.194.2.26 version. Then when I went back to http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe, it downloaded the 2.194.2.26 version. Must be a caching issue with my proxy. Anyway... The 2.194.2.26 version works for me on selecting the "Download from Internet" option, while the 2.194.2.24 version was hanging at a parse error. One funny thing about the 2.194.2.26 version is that when selecting packages, there is a second "Cygwin Setup" window that says "This space left intentionally blank". I'm not sure what that's all about. It doesn't seem to cause any problems. However, the "Install from Local Directory" option (after doing the Download from Internet) gave me quite a few errors. First, there were multiple windows with lots of parse errors. After clicking OK on four or five of them, the install continued and appeared to work. During the install, there was a pop-up that said "Can't open (null) for reading". I clicked OK and the install continued. When the install finished, everything appeared OK, but I'm very apprehensive about all the errors and pop-up windows. The first line in the "Parse Errors" window is: setup.ini line 3297: parse error, unexpected $undefined Thereafter, all lines look like this: setup.ini line 3297: unrecognized line in setup.ini headers (do you have the latest setup?) The line numbers keep incrementing up to 3332. Clicking OK brings up another window that looks the same but the last line number is higher. As I said before, after four or five windows, it continues with the installation and completes it successfully. The strange thing about this is that there are only 2216 lines in the setup.ini file (from mirrors.rcn.net). There's nothing interesting in the setup.log or setup.log.full files.

Re: cygwin Digest 9 May 2002 20:56:07 -0000 Issue 1926
Jos? Luis Otermin I'm not sure what mailing list your inquiry got redirected to but I have recently installed Postgresql on WinNT under cygwin. I followed the instructions below taken from a book by Geschwinde and Schonig entitled "Postgresql Developer's Handbook" p 29 [Publisher SAMS c2002, ISBN 0-672-32260-9, publishers address = 201 West 103rd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46290]. "After instally Cygwin, you have to initialize a Postgresql database. Therefore, you have to install the cygipc package available at: " http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/index.html "This can be done by extracting the tar archive containing the sofware in the root directory of the Cygnus environment. Installing this package is necessary to run the server because Postgresql needs System V IPC system calls. ipc is a common kernel entry point for the System V IPC calls for messages, semaphores, and shared memory. If the package is not installed, Postgresql can't initialize the database." "Now that the sofware is installed, you have to add the bin directory in the Cygnus environment to the environment variable PATH of your Windows system; otherwise, cygipc won't be able to find the DLLs it needs for starting." " First you install the daemon as a service:" ipc-daemon --install-as-service "Then you start the daemon:" net start ipc-daemon#NT/2000 or ipc-daemon & # 9X/Me "After that you can go on with Postgresql by initializing the database with the initdb comand:" initdb -L /usr/share/postgresql -D /data/postgresql "-L defines the location of the templates Postgresql must use to generate the system databases. -D defines the directory in which to store the files of the database you want to generate using initdb. Keep in mind that the director specified by -D must be empty or nonexistant." I had to make a few modifications related to where my copy of Postgresql was stored. I used the directory 'cygwin' as my root directory. Good luck. Carleton T.

Hello, I've downloaded the latest snapshot and i am still having the problem whereby all cygwin is not installing. The first time i ran setup i selected download from internet, selected the catagories to install, hit next, and it stopped immediately with download complete. I next went through setup and said install from internet. It downloaded what i am assuming is the base cygwin, ash, bash, cygwin, etc. the version is setup-20020510 of the snapshot. Any suggestions?

RE: setup continuing difficulties.
I'm seeing this problem also, on Win2K, using the latest version of setup.exe, 2.194.2.26. If I use the 'Install from Internet' option, then I don't have any problems. If I use the 2-step 'Download from Internet' / 'Install from Local Drive', then setup.exe consistently fails with 'Parse Errors' listings in window. 1. Some of the parsing errors for setup.ini reference line numbers that do not exist in my setup.ini file. For example, "Setup.ini line 2231: parse error, unexpected $undefined., expecting $" "Setup.ini line 2231: unrecognized line in setup.ini headers (do you have the latest setup?)" My (automatically-generated) setup.ini has only 2217 lines. 2. These parsing errors are generated even though the 'Install from Internet' completed without any errors, and I immediately follow it with rerunning setup.exe and select 'Install from Local Drive'. Running setup.exe multiple times repeats the 'Parse Errors' problem. 3. If I dismiss the 'Parse Errors' windows (click on the 'X' button), setup.exe advances to the 'Category' screen, but its contents are garbled in the first six categories, and I wouldn't trust using it. Suggestion: Only use 'Install from Internet' to workaround the problem. > -Original Message- > From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 3:11 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: setup continuing difficulties. > > > Hello, > I've downloaded the latest snapshot and i am still having > the problem > whereby all cygwin is not installing.

May I point out that you only need to send to one list? Polluting others with the same message is a waste of bandwidth and allot of people's time. If you need help figuring out which list to send to, consult http://cygwin.com/lists.html. In general, the Cygwin home page is the best place to start when looking for information, just as an aside. As you point out, Cygwin is open-source. It's kept alive by a group of volunteers that maintain the functionality. I'm sure your request will end up on the list of enhancements. However, as an open-source project, there's no need to plead with others to get them to do what you want. You can add it yourself if you're capable or find someone to do it for you. This is often the best way to get alternate functionality into open-source work, since not everyone's priority for features is the same.

Problem with latest setup.exe
Hi All, I've just recently subscribed to this list (digest form), but I've actually been 'reading' it for some time (I pull an incremental image of the cygwin.com site (from a mirror, of course) a every-other-day schedule). I've been using Cygwin for over a year now, and I just have to say that it keeps getting better and better! Thanks to Cygwin, developing on Windows NT is tolerable! Recently I've decided I'd like to build an X client (X3270) that I need, so I was going to update my installation with the latest binaries as well as install the source that I need to be able to build my X client. Since I pull an incremental image of the cygwin.com site, I usually install using the 'Install from Local Directory' option. Lately I've been getting a few errors from setup which basically stopps the installation. One was: "Can't open (null) for reading", which I usually get when trying to install source packages (but not binaries). The other was: "parser stack overflow". This one only started popping up with the increase in the number of packages added to setup.ini (setup-timestamp: 1020997207, setup-version: 2.194.2.26). I don't know if anyone has encountered this, yet, or not, so in the great developer tradition, I pulled the source for the installer (setup-md5-20020504-src.tar.bz2) from cygwin.com/setup-snapshots and built setup.exe for debugging and started debugging. In case it's important, the configure script should be updated to look for errno.h and add -DHAVE_ERRNO_H=1 to the DEFS macro. Without this, package_db.cc doesn't compile. The end result of my debug session was that the parser (iniparse.cc) needs it's stack increased. A simple hack is to add -DYYINITDEPTH=1000 to DEFS in the Makefile to increase the initial stack size. A better solution would be to implement the yyoverflow macro. BTW, it appears that Bison is generating #line compiler statements that are +1 lines off from the real source. Kind of a pain to debug with :) Supposing that I actually get the X3270 client built, is it worth while contributing it to this project? Are there any guideline on submitting new components to Cygwin? Anyho, Cygwin has certainly made my life using Windows easier! -- Peter A.

Thanks for doing this - there is a fixed snapshot up at the snapshots site. To build setup, I suggest you use the build recipe from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html.

RE:Cygwin/XFree86 logged into KDE3 causes strange Cygwin error
I had similar problems and have solved them by installing all XFree components (I thing the Xserver with frame buffer helps) The main thing was to reduce the colours from 32 bit to 16 bit on the windows 2000 Laptop (IBM ThinkPad E23) Now I am happy and can work on the Linux Server with KDE3 and German Keyboard settings via kdm. This is a planed solution for some scientists, which need an graphical access from windows 2000 Laptops to a Linux-cluster with Splus and other applications. regards Heiner Speth -Original Message- From: Harold Hunt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 2:15 PM To: Speth, Heiner PH/DE Subject: RE: XDM from Cygwin Heiner, The solution is for you to ask this question at [EMAIL PROTECTED], where I have forwarded this email.

vim losing file bug with :e#
Crossposted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This has been happening since vim-6.0 on cygwin. It is reproducible (although not every time) and occurs when I have 2 files open and switch back and forth between each with :e#. I start in one and switch to the other and write it, with :w and then switch back to the first. Then I change focus to another window. This case, the perl debugger and attempting to read the file I just wrote, I get the message: readline() on closed filehandle L at ./ppind.pl line 16. I then change focus back to vim and switch back to the problem file and get the vim warning Warning, file "penpairs" no longer available. I then write the file to avoid losing it. Then I go back to the start of this sequence, that is, the first buffer, and do the same process all over again. This time I don't get the messages. But if I do it a third time, the file is no longer available again. The changing of focus to another window is involved. If I don't change focus, I don't lose the file. I sent the vim bugreport.txt data to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Greg Matheson There is here. Never ceases to amaze me.
