Everything in the posting from the above URL is still valid
(besides the URL).
Later versions of MySQL on later versions of Cygwin didn't
work as well as mysql-3.23.43 did, maybe this old version
also don't work any longer with a later Cygwin release.  Also
I don't use it.  I was able to install DBD::MySQL and run the
testsuite, I don't know if this still works.

I have it online here:
http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/mysql/mysql-3.23.43-pc-cygwin-i586.tar.bz2

Source is also up there (same directory), but I want to ask you
to fetch it from a mirror where it is still available since I have
a small/slow pipe: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mirrors.html

You're welcome,

Re: init_cygheap::etc_changed: Can't open /etc for checking,Win32 error

[Christian Koessel]

In the meantime I took a look at the cygwin sources and I found the
reason for the error:

On Sep 09 2001 the etc_changed()-function was added to cygheap.cc. Its
purpose is to detect a change to the group or passwd files while cygwin
is running and it seems to be called every time when rights have to be
checked. This is achieved by using the Win32
FindFirstChangeNotification() method which monitors a directory (here
/etc) for changes. The function is called with the
FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE option.
The problem is that this function does not work on drives with a non
NTFS file system and returns INVALID_HANDLE. This leads to the error
message 'init_cygheap::etc_changed: Can't open /etc for checking, Win32
error 2'. After this the function returns 0, which means that there was
no change to /etc.

So the only thing that goes wrong is that you always get that error
message and that changes to /etc are not detected while cygwin is
running.
A possibility to fix the problem could be to use GetVolumeInformation()
to retrieve information about the file system when /etc is mounted and
to maintain a flag which tells if directory change notifications are
supported or not.

I will try to build my own personal patch of the cygwin1.dll which the
error message just commented out...

find is broken ???

[kobi cohen arazi]

Hi, cygcheck is attached below.

uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 DUFAY 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16 i686 unknown

findutils   4.1.7-4

find stops its action when a folder in not reachable.( for example
the famous "System Volume Information", or a unreachable mounted dir
etc ...)

I think find shouldn't stop finding !
It should print the "Access Denied" or "No such file or directory" msg and continue.

I can look at the source and try fix it if u can point me to its
location.

Thanks,

Kobi.

Re: Trying to build Eterm - Need help

[J . Larsen]

Hi,

install cygipc package, which is optional. Visit
cygwin.com and try to find the link to the package.

ipc package contains all shared memory (shmat())
and other IPC related funtionality. It runs as an
server, however you also can configure it as an
service.

Keep me informed about the errors you'll find after
installing cygipc :-)

Cygwin port of GNUstep

[Ildar Mulyukov]

Hi,
I just succeeded in building GNUstep (CVS version) in Cygwin 
environment. So for all who may concern I've wrote a README.

Also GNUstep source needs some minor corrections. I will provide patches 
as soon as I remake them from plane hacks.

With best regards,

Date:   17-Sep-2002 (tested under windows-xp)
Author: Ildar Mulyukov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

PURPOSE
---

This document may be treated as just an appendix to GNUstep-HOWTO. You can find 
GNUstep-HOWTO link here: http://gnustep.org/experience/documentation.html

This document is intended to provide a step by step instruction on how
to get the GNUstep base library into a usable state on a recent windows
operating system (XP, 2000, and probably NT) within Cygwin environment.

Cygwin is unix-like environment working on top of Win32 (Windows, Windows 
NT/2k/XP). You can find complete information about it on the website
http://cygwin.org

For the moment GNUstep can be built with GUI support. (Native Win32 GUI, not X11)
The gui library is only partially ported to run under Win32 API so be warned.

Generally Cygwin port of GNUstep has a lot of issues and therefore is not 
suitable for end-users yet but only for [experienced] programmers.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
---

Note: These comments are just my experience. You don't need these to build 
GNUstep. If you don't understand something don't worry.

Cygwin project is now in a very advanced stage. It's ready to be used by 
end-users and in commercial purposes and very convenient for programmers.

Cygwin provides "General UNIX" environment and APIs. In fact GNUstep-base is 
compiled using Unix alternatives of classes (like NSConcreteUnixTask). But it has
several particularities that must been taken into consideration. There is a very 
good documentation on Cygwin website on these questions. See e.g.
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html
I would like to mention two of them:
1. Filesystem is case-insensitive. Now it's (luckily) supports soft-links. But
case-insensitivity hinders quite a lot.
2. Dynamic libraries mechanism is not so good. (Windows DLL). It does not 
support several features (and this makes so hard to port some software e.g. licq)
And it has those ugly __declspec(dllexport) / __declspec(dllimport) . But
(Cygwin hackers are just cool!) in later releases of binutils ld is capable
to link wrongly declared exports! This eliminates a lot of problems when dealing 
with DLLs (including objc.dll and gnustep-*.dll)

PRELIMINARIES
-

Before you start, you need Cygwin in some programming-oriented configuration 
(full configuration is OK but it's VERY big now). Installation instructions are 
on Cygwin site.

In fact Cygwin already contains every package needed for GNUstep except GCC and 
GDB. Please see below.

Building GCC and GDB


Cygwin contains it's own GCC and GDB packages that work very good in Cygwin 
environment. But they lack Objective-C language support so for us these are
completely unusable. See http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC90

So you have to build these two from sources.

Please note that generally GDB is optional! It's up to you whether to use it or 
not. If you don't use it you don't need to build it.

1. GCC. Get sources from http://gcc.gnu.org . I suggest version 2.xx.x (last 
stable in gcc-2 branch e.g. 2.95.3) because gnustep-objc suits to version 2 of 
GCC. Get sources (including languages you need), unpack, build. Before installing
uninstall previous version of GCC via setup.exe program.
Note: GCC provided in Cygwin was patched to behave better in Windows/Cygwin
environment. Cygwin team has done some changes that were not committed to GCC
CVS tree and they lost Objective-C support. That's why you can't use even Cygwin
GCC source. But don't worry: newly built GCC works fine and I believe can do
all those "-mno-cygwin" and "-shared" things by fixing specs file.
Note2: You can make packages from programs you built with utility provided in
APPENDIX A. These packages can be installed with setup.exe

2. GDB. Sources are here: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/ . See 
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/discuss-gnustep/2002-August/017238.html
Adam Fedor has made wonderful patch for current CVS GDB. It's probable that you
may use Cygwin GDB sources but I don't know really. Unpack, apply patch, make,
install. This may be non-trivial. Good luck.

Obtaining GNUstep
-

The main GNUstep project pages tell you how to get hold of this. You can get
the latest release of the following libraries. However, since Cygwin support
is currently evolving, I recommend that you get the latest snapshot
or code from CVS.

You need things in the following order:

GNUstep-make (release, snapshot, or cvs core modu

postgresql + chown

[Retzlaw Heinrich]

Hello,
I am trying to install Postgres on a win2000 machine.

I am following the instractions at
: for a NT services
installation. (cygwin is already installed ofcourse).

followed all the steps, but at step 6
6. Change ownership of the PostgreSQL data directory:
# chown postgres /usr/share/postgresql/data

But nothing happens. The owner of the directory ist the Administrator.

Then I tried to login as postgres:
# login postgres

But after I entered the password an error occurs: Login incorrect.

Following entry is in the /etc/passwd-file:
postgres:unused_by_net/2000/xp:1007:513:postgres,U-AAWRK020\postgres,S-xxBLA
xx:/home/postgres:/bin/bash
I changed it to
postgres::1007:513:postgres,U-AAWRK020\postgres,S-xxBLAxx:/home/postgres:/bi
n/bash
After I log in with
# login postgres
the following message appears:
No directory /home/postgres!
Logging in with home = "/".
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!

But I can not change the owner of /usr/share/postgresql/data from
Administrator to postgres.
If I try to init the db, teh following message appears:
The files belonging to this database will be owned by user "Administrator".
This user must also own the server process
.
.
.

But the owner of all the files is the Administrator, even though I logged in
as postgres with no home-directory.

How to add a user with home-directory?
Or what else can I do?
Why is it not possible to change the owner of a directory, even if I am the
Administrator?

Best regards
Heinrich

Thank you!
I applied a patch with step [2]:
  patch -p0 < php-X-Y/CYGWIN-PATCHES/php-4.2.0-1.patch  [2]

Is this something different? (I did the similar with pgsql before I
installed pgsql from source.)
The output of the above line is:
...
patching file 'php-4.2.0-1/ext/pgsql/config.m4
...

libpq.so is mentioned in the config.m4.

Could you explain what should be patched in the configure.in script, please?

Setup 2.249.2.5 Hangs during "Install from Local Directory"

[John Carlyle- Clarke]

Hi list--

As the title says, while running setup and selecting "Install from Local Directory", 
the installation gets so far and then will hang up.  The program appears responsive 
(in that you can move the window, it repaints, and responds to cancel) but the install 
progress stops.  The task manager shows high CPU usage and constantly increasing 
memory usage (at least 90Megs) which eventually will eat all available memory.

I am running Windows NT4 SP6a.

I have tried selecting various install types and combinations of packages, but all 
except for when I tried single packages have failed, but not at a consistent point and 
not on the same package or file.

When I press Cancel, I get two access violations.  Nothing is written to setup.log.

I have tried with the files on a network drive, and on CD.  Up until now, I have been 
running the setup program from a network drive with no problems.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Sigh... Please use the "official" Cygwin PostgreSQL README:

or

Did you set CYGWIN=ntsec?

login does *not* work from the command line under Cygwin -- it is meant
to be used indirectly via programs such as in.telnetd.

On one host? Copy it through the filesystem. /cygdrive/x/ maps to drive x.
If you still have problems with unix/dos lineendings, recode can solve these.

Between hosts? Use the Windows networking (SMB). You can acces the network
paths via //server/share/filepath

If the hosts are in not connected via a windows network, the scp program (from

Hi David,

Thanks for your response.

My requirement is only for files transfer betwenn WinXP and "cygwin" not 
via another software.  Before I made use of Samba to do the job.  Currently 
I make use of Internet to help me, dispatching the file as attachment to an 
email from WinXP to myself and download it on Linux and vice versa.  The 
max size of file allowed is 10MB.  It is quite sufficient for me.  But I am 
looking for some other alternatives, if possible.

I will take a look on 'scp'.  Is it on "cygwin.com" website?  But I could 
not find this package there.  What is the correct name of this package?

Sorry, but I never had the need to handle more than one printer.  Have

IIRC, "-_" is just like "-" (i.e., stdin) but buffered.  Or, maybe it's
the other way around. :,)

The above seems to imply that the gsprint "-printer" option should work.

IMO, a2ps is not a replacement for lp/lpr but instead a very nice tool
to drive lp/lpr.

Would you like to contribute a2ps?  Note that it builds OOTB under
Cygwin.

Then you may need to patch config.m4 instead (again, I have not checked
the source).  The bottom line is that under Cygwin the check for the
existence of the pq library must look for either libpq.a (i.e., import
library) or pq.dll (i.e., shared library).  Choose the one that
minimizes the patch.

get the message Web site found but then it hangs. In lynx i get "Making HTTP
connection to *.*.**" but cannot get any response. I have
changed httpd.conf to exactly the same as before upgrade (ie change
servername/email etc) and also tried just default.conf.

Hope someone can help

HELP ME AND MY FAMILY

[jonathan savimbi]

Dear Sir/Madam 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met,but 
it should'nt,since we are determined to get what rightly belongs to us anyhow,but soon 
when every thing goes according to plan.The message could be strange but reality will 
definitely dawn on you, if you pay some attention to it's content. I would'nt have 
notified you but for the sake of your integrity and goodwill.Please accept my sincere 
apologies.In bringing this message to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of 
causing you any personal pains or discomfort. 

I am Mr.jonathan Savimbi, son of the late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was 
killed on the 22nd of february 2002.We are desperately looking for a trustworthy 
person to assist us in this confidential business.My late father, Jonas Savimbi 
deposited huge sums of money realised from the sale of diamonds and other precious 
stones /metals in different banks in Europe. My father is presently no more, and the 
movement of his family members (including me) is highly restricted. We are forbidden 
to either travel abroad or out of our immediate localities. Presently, the money 
realised from those sails amounting to US$25,500,000.00 
(TWENTY-FIVE MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS), which my father realised,and was 
transfered to Netherlands, is safe in a security firm over there.Before you can get 
access to it you have to be given the password and the Personal indentification 
numbers (PIN No:) of the 
consignment deposited.I am therefore soliciting your help to have this money collected 
by you and transfered into your account,as we would give you the neccesary 
documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally in 
Amsterdam, before the 
government gets wind of this arrangement.You know my father was a rebel leader in his 
life time before his death. 
My reason for doing this is because it will be 
difficult for the Angolan Government to trace my father's money to an individual's 
account,especially when such an individual bears no blood relationship with us ,I have 
decided to keep that money for my family's use. Presently the money is still in that 
Security Company in the Netherlands. 
I am currently and temporarily living in Luanda with my family seeking for my refugee 
status,moreover the political climate in Angola at the moment is very tense,sensitive 
and unstable.With this password and informations that we will give you,together with 
the Power of Attorney,you will then proceed to the security firm,and these will 
facilitate your 
collection of the consignment. You have to proceed personally to Netherlands where 
after fulfiling their requirements US$25,500,000.00 will be released to you in the two 
large trunk boxes that it was deposited in,after which we may likely ask you to come 
over with some money for us to run away from here at least for now into one of these 
European countries. You can have the fund transferred into any account that suits you 
after your personal collection of the consignment,until further instructions are 
given. 

***PLEASE YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY REQUIRED. 

Thank you very much for your time and understanding. 

Yours sincerely, 

Mr.JONATHAN SAVIMBI

*** CYGWIN INSTALL ***

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Then, 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. You might have to wait as much
as 24 hours to find a mirror with the updated version of cygwin on it.
Be patient.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate it if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list
is the appropriate place. This includes ideas and comments about the
setup utility or Cygwin in general.

Hello All,

I've searched for an answer to this question for about a day and

Thanks a lot Jason! That's it!
I thought the applied patch will modify the configure script to make it
cygwin compatible...

In case that someone is interested in how to deal with this:
  apply the patch:
patch -p0 < php-X-Y/CYGWIN-PATCHES/php-4.2.0-1.patch[2]
  search for libpq.so in the configure script and simply rename it to
libpq.a.

The php-4.2.0-1.patch contains lines that check for libpq.a but they have no
effect on the configure script.

The next hurdle is the mkdll.sh command. I don't know how to add the
dependent pq.dll (/usr/bin) to the following command:
  ../../../CYGIN-PATCHES/mkdll.sh libsapi.la \
-L ../../../.libs -lphp4 \
/usr/bin/cyghttpd.dll   [8]

It doesn't work that way:
  ../../../CYGIN-PATCHES/mkdll.sh libsapi.la \
-L ../../../.libs -lphp4 \
/usr/bin/cyghttpd.dll /usr/bin/pq.dll   [8]

Any suggestions?

Andreas

gcc versions

[David A. Cobb]

I have gcc-3.2-1 as my "normal" CC.  Just in case, I also have "gcc2" 
standing by.

It really is a PITA to have Setup keep suggesting I revert "gcc" to the 
"production(?)'" version of 2.95..-12.  Now that "gcc2" captures the 
version 2.95 stable version, it would be very desirable to have 
setup.ini changed to advance "3.2" to the [current] status of "gcc".

Re: New gcc-3.1.1 Release - g77

Here's what I tried, without success!

Installed binary kit GNAT ( gcc-2.7 ) from NYU.  Note, this is a Windoze 
build, not Cygwin (AFAIK).
Point $CC and $CXX at the GNAT gcc, also put that dir at the head of my 
$PATH.

Try running configure & make bootstrap for gcc-3.2-1.

I'm not totally surprised that it failed, however I /am/ surprised at 
how and where.  The 'C' and 'C++' and 'F77' builds went pretty well.
However, the Ada test in configure ( Testing whether gcc understands Ada 
 no ). failed.

My first thought was "of course, it doesn't unerstand Cygwin paths." 
 But, if that were true it should have failed completely on C, C++, and 
F77 as well.
SO, if Dockeen, or anyone, can point me in the direction of creating a 
bootstrap GNAT it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

The function works on non-NTFS filesystems.  You, yourself, noted that
it works on directories exported from a Samba server.  It also works on
Windows 9x which doesn't natively understand NTFS filesystems.

It apparently doesn't work on a Novell netware drive.  That's been noted
repeatedly here.  It sounds like a netware bug to me.

Oh, I got gs to work with my multiple printers, so I'm not hurtin'...
However, if people want to use GSPrint, they may need this.  Pierre's
original script didn't have support for the -printer option, though, IIRC.

Yes, it should, and it sort of does.  The problem is quoting the
backslashes and, especially, the spaces in the printer name.  This is more
of an issue for shared printers, where the name cannot be easily changed
under Windows.  And this is a shell issue, not a GSPrint one.

True.  What I like most about it is actually the a2ps-site.cfg, where you
can set up custom printers, etc.  This is the closest to /etc/printcap or
/etc/printers.conf that I've seen.  It would be nice to have something
similar for lp/lpr...

Yes, I know -- I just built it... :-)
Hmm, does contributing some package automatically make you the maintainer?
Frankly, I'd rather not be tied up with any package just now...  Maybe in
a few months...

sh.exe.stackdump: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[Kent Shi]

Hi:
I am trying to build a cross-gcc under cygwin, but I have been
running into crashes in /bin/sh (which is ash-20020731-1).  We are
running on Windows 2000, on a dual Pentium 4, and cygwin setup says it
is version 2.249.2.5.
Here are the two stackdumps from yesterday.  I'll try to replace ash
with bash now, and see if that helps...

Re: Memory Leak - DLL problem

[Tirth Sanyal]

Hi,
I tried allocating and deallocating on the same heap
i.e. the heap belonging to the DLL. However, the
problem still persists. Looks like there might be some
other problem.

I have uploaded the modified version of the programs
as a tarball with a README file for installing and
running the program should you decide to try it out
yourself. Here is the url:
http:://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~tsanyal/mem_leak_demo.tgz

Would appreciate any more ideas.
Thanks.

RE: New gcc-3.1.1 Release - g77

[Billinghurst, David (CRTS)]

It can be done.  I have a working (or so it seems) GNAT for cygwin.

Let me know if you are interested.

Here's what I tried, without success!

Installed binary kit GNAT ( gcc-2.7 ) from NYU.  Note, this is a Windoze 
build, not Cygwin (AFAIK).
Point $CC and $CXX at the GNAT gcc, also put that dir at the head of my 
$PATH.

Try running configure & make bootstrap for gcc-3.2-1.

I'm not totally surprised that it failed, however I /am/ surprised at 
how and where.  The 'C' and 'C++' and 'F77' builds went pretty well.
However, the Ada test in configure ( Testing whether gcc understands Ada 
 no ). failed.

My first thought was "of course, it doesn't unerstand Cygwin paths." 
 But, if that were true it should have failed completely on C, C++, and 
F77 as well.
SO, if Dockeen, or anyone, can point me in the direction of creating a 
bootstrap GNAT it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

RE: cygwin mutt and maildir

Actually it's a filename problem.  The maildir format needs to be able to put a
few special characters ("," or ";" I believe is one of them) into filenames, and
Windows chokes on them.  It's a shame too, because AFAIK, maildir obviates the
need for dotlock, so it would cure that problem.

The only way I can think this could be solved is through a method something like
how Rob's handling setup's local cache dir naming scheme, i.e. escaping
Windows-invalid characters with URLesque "%xx"'s.  And that would pretty much
have to be in the cygwin file stuff so that every MUA/MDA/whatever spoke the
same maildir language.  And that feels like something that may have been
discussed before and rejected.  If not that might be something I'll look into
doing (sounds easy enough).  Otherwise I'm afraid you're stuck with mboxes for
the forseeable future :-(.

Help! Can I access a tape created with UNIX tar under W2K

I think I got all of the things down, what am I missing?  Drive is DDS3,
cygwin was just installed from net today:

libpng not found.

[Krung Saengpole]

Hello all,

I come to this mailing list for the first time. If I go to the wrong place, apologize 
me. I installed Cygwin on my machine (Win95), when I compiled my program that use 
-lpng, system told me that libpng wasn't found. I installed cygwin including libpng. 
What I did wrong or how to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance
Krung

In addition to the sound and informed suggestions in Tim Prince's reply,
I will offer you the advice that it read to me as if you don't know for
sure what `automake' does. I urge you not to experiment randomly and
carelessly with that particular command.
