[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: tetex suite 20020911-1
The teTeX suite, a TeX distribution for UNIX compatible systems, has been updated to version 20020911-1. This is a bugfix release. Omega has been omitted from this release (as per upstream development, it will be back, next time). TeTex is split up and packaged in seven parts. Three packages for executables and runtime libraries: tetex-bin, libkpathsea3, tetex-x11. Three packages for the texmf tree: tetex-base, tetex-doc, and tetex-extra. And a development package: tetex-devel. As tetex-base is very big (>10MB), there's an additional package: tetex-tiny, that provides a very small (~2MB) functional texmf tree. If you select tetex-base or tetex-tiny, that should take care of dependencies and provide a working teTeX setup. The executables and runtime libraries: tetex-bin and libkpathsea3, are always required. To get a functional TeX/LaTeX setup, you also need a texmf tree. You can choose from tetex-base or tetex-tiny. NOTE: The tetex-tiny and tetex-base packages overlap. If you choose for a full teTeX installation, or just install everything of Cygwin, both will be installed, which should be fine. Please don't uninstall one of them, there should be no need to do so. If you do, you must reinstall the remaining other package. After a successful installation of tetex (tetex-bin + libkpathsea3, and one of tetex-tiny or tetex-base), you should be able to run, eg, latex sample2e dvips -o sample2e.ps sample2e If you install XFree86 tetex-x11 and ghostscript-x11, you may even view the output just like you would do on UNIX: xdvi sample2e.dvi & If you're unlucky, read /usr/share/doc/tetex-bin-20020530-3/INSTALL or /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh[.done]. If necessary, edit /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, run texconfig confall texconfig rehash texconfig init and see what happens. Please send questions or comments on teTeX to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [However, if you're having problems related to LilyPond, please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Please don't email the authors directly. Enjoy, Jan. INSTALLATION: 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'tetex-base' or 'tetex-tiny' from the 'Publishing' category. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed 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, and already up to date. In Japan, use ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ . In Denmark, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ 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 you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you want to subscribe go to: http://cygwin.com/lists.html. 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. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. CAVEATS: * After installation, /etc/postintall/post-texmf.sh[.done] gets executed, to configure teTeX and generate the format files. If anything goes wrong, you may want to look at this script, or rerun it after you fixed stuff. * Kpathsea has been patched to not search down UNC paths by default. Problems with configuration settings may trigger searches into the `hosts' `//share' and `//texmf', which is not what you want. If you're using TeX over the network, make sure your configuration is fixed, and set environment variable `KPSE_SEARCH_UNC'. Requirements and DLLs. TeTeX and LilyPond depend on a number of library packages, but as it seems, they sometimes do not get selected automagically. teTeX requires: ash cygwin ed grep jpeg libkpathsea3 libncurses6 libpng12 tiff sed termcap zlib LilyPond requires: bash libguile12 libiconv2 libintl2 libkpathsea3 python tetex-bin, and tetex-tiny or tetex-base DLL Package cygguile-12.dll libguile12 cygintl-2.dlllibintl2 cygiconv-2.dll libiconv2 cygltdl-3.dlllibltdl3 cygpcre.dll pcre cygpng12.dll libpng12 cygtiff3.dll tiff Also, the more general info on missing DLLs may be helpful: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC32 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01619.html CHANGES: tetex-bin (20020911-1) unstable; urgency=low * new upstream version. * texk/kpathsea/mktex.opt: Use dirsep ':' instead
Cscript.exe no longer executable
Sirs, I recently installed the latest version of OpenSSH on our W2K test system which ships with Cygwin1.dll V 1.3.12. I now find that we can no longer execute any VBS scripts from an SSH session as the cscript.exe gives an error: "The application could not be initialized correctly (0xc005) Click on OK to terminate the application" when we try to initialise it. I have a work around from a previously reported problem which is to load an older version of the dll (1.3.10) which allows us to execute these scripts but unfortunately gives us another problem in that it takes around 30 seconds to setup the ssh connection. Can we have a fix for 1.3.12 to allow us to execute cscript.exe without suffering the delays in the login process.

sevg using perl 5.8.0

} );

Also, It gets a segv when running CPAN, after it goes through all of the
CPAN questions.
When I was on 5.6.1, the problems were similar, though perl -d worked
better and i could run my test program with it and get a perl stack
trace. If this is helpful, i can reinstall 5.6.1 and post that trace.
I'm running win2000, SP2 (5.0.2195).
Other perl programs seem to work ok.
SHould I just reinstall all of cygwin, or is there anything else I can check?
Thanks,
Francis

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the primary email on the old copy, if you want to grab that. Also, you could try keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve in your gnupg options file, I find it very useful.

cscript errors out from daemon
win2k cygwin 1.3.12-2 (See attached file: cygcheck.out) I am trying to run a bash script than in turn calls a vbscript from cron using cscript.exe. I get a dialog box displaying an error about cscript not being able to initialize. Application popup: cscript.exe - Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc005). Click on OK to terminate the application. I have also noticed that I cannot run cscript after logging in via telnet or ssh. I am assuming that cygwin has a problem of running cscript from within a daemon? Is there any solution to be able to run cscript from cron, ssh, telnet, etc?

Ralf, You're trying to convert a PATH (or PATH-like) variable, not a single file or directory name. Include the "-p" option.

Ok, then. I had tetex installed for at least 8 months now, so post-tetex.sh could have been left over from an old installation. Oh, and by the way, all the scripts in my /etc/postinstall/ have the .done suffix - I was just interpolating the names... So post-texmf.sh did run. In fact, I also see the log entry to that regard. I'll try the upgrade to 20020911-1 now and report the results here.

RE: cygpath returns garbage if DOS/win2k input environment variable is too long?
Ralf, In addition to the need to use "-p" in this case (which I mentioned earlier--you did see that message, didn't you?), you should quote your $CLASSPATH variable reference. You might want to scrutinize you scripts to make sure they're "space-tolerant." Many Unix-land scripts are written under the assumption that there are no characters in variable names and arguments that are special to the shell that interprets that script. Under Windows, this is often a bad assumption and a space is the most common (but by no means the only) character that violates that assumption. Note that it's not easy for "cygpath" to issue errors when you misuse it, since anything you pass in can be converted between Unix and Windows or DOS formats. But if you ask it to perform the wrong conversion, you shouldn't expect the right result. About the only diagnostic it could provide would be for the use of characters that are forbidden in Windows file names (\, /, :, *, ?, <, >, |).

I downloaded the GnuPG source code from the Cygwin Web site, configured with --enable-static-rnd=egd --disable-dev-random and now it works fine with EGD. I had to alter EGD to gather data using commands appropriate for Windows rather than UNIX (e.g., "ps -W" instead of "vmstat", "netstat -a -n -p tcp" instead of "netstat -ant"). One fun way to get good entropy is to use this gathering command: wget -O - http://www.earthwatch.com/SKYWATCH/images/IRUS2D.jpg It fetches a periodically-updated ~50 KB JPEG weather satellite image of North America. The opportunities for gathering entropy from Webcams are abundant, and the weather is nicely chaotic! Talk about the "butterfly effect" on the weather!

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated rxvt-2.7.2-14
Hi, rxvt is a replacement for the Windows command window. This version fixes: - memory leak in -13 version that could cause Windows to run out of resources. Please update if you have version 2.7.2-13. Thanks for your patience. -steve --Install instructions-- 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 have recently stopped 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. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. 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.

The message was "texconfig: cannot create directory /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/igor/LOCALS~1/Temp/texdirNNN: file exists with a different case", where NNN is some number.

Cygwin is a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows. It consists of two parts: # A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a UNIX emulation layer providing substantial UNIX API functionality. # A collection of tools, ported from UNIX, which provide UNIX/Linux look and feel. . . . What's New and How Do I Get it? The latest net releases of the Cygwin DLL are numbered 1.1.x or 1.3.x. 1.n.x versions of the Cygwin DLL are newer than previous beta Bxx (i.e. B19, B20, B20.1) versions. The last commercial release was v1.0 which was only released on CD-ROM and is no longer available. Red Hat has no current plans to release a new commercial CD. The Red Hat GNUpro release version is currently 1.2.x and is available only with Red Hat support contracts. . . . Note that the 1.n.x version numbering refers only to the Cygwin DLL. Individual packages like bash, gcc, less, etc. are released independently of the DLL.

Cygwin and short windows filenames (Was RE: Open bash at the currentexplorer directory?)
Gunnar,
You're right, this is a problem. Cygwin should be able to handle windows
short form of directory names just as well as the long ones... For some
reason it doesn't ('cd /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1' results in "cd:
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1: No such file or directory"). This is happening in
most shells (sh, bash, tcsh), so I'm assuming it's a 'chdir()' problem.
This only seems to happen if "check_case:strict" is part of $CYGWIN.
Passing a short windows filename to other programs, e.g., vi, also fails
with check_case:strict and succeeds with check_case:relaxed/adjust.
I used a pair of short programs to test chdir(): cdtest.c and
cdtestnative.c. cdtest.c called chdir(), and cdtestnative.c called
SetCurrentDirectory(), which chdir() uses internally. Both "cdtest
'c:\Program Files'" and "cdtestnative 'c:\Program Files'" succeeded.
"cdtest 'c:\PROGRA~1'" failed, whereas "cdtestnative 'c:\PROGRA~1'"
succeeded. I'm attaching both programs, and the strace output for three
runs of cdtest: "cdtest 'c:\Program Files'" (cdtest_ProgramFiles.strace),
"cdtest 'c:\PROGRA~1'" (cdtest_PROGRA~1.strace), and "cdtest 'c:\PROGRA~1'"
with check_case:adjust in effect (cdtest_PROGRA~1_adjust.strace).
>From the output, it looks like conv_to_win32_path() is not behaving
correctly with short names. Can someone check on this?

Francis Litterio wrote: > > What are the criteria for changing the Cygwin revision stamp? The Cygwin DLL is analogous to the Linux kernel: its version number scheme is independent of the version number of the packages that run under it. You can upgrade packages independently of the Cygwin DLL, at least until there's an ABI change. Currently there is no one packaging cohesive "releases" under a single version number like the Linux distributors do.

It's not really surprising that this would fail with strict case
checking. If you look at the code for strict case checking then you'll
see that there is no provision for doing a "It failed this check, I'd
better check the short name, too". In fact, since strict case checking
is supposed to make cygwin behave slightly more like UNIX, which has
no such thing as a short name, then you could call this a feature.

RE: Open bash at the current explorer directory?
Gunnar, I assume your $CYGWIN contains "check_case:strict", since that is the setting in which the short paths won't work. They will work if $CYGWIN contains "check_case:adjust". So, you can use the following sequence in your .bashrc to get the correct form of the windows path: if [ -n "$CFH" ] ; then CFH="$(export CYGWIN="$CYGWIN check_case:adjust";cygpath -w -l "$CFH")" cd "$CFH" unset CFH fi Hope this helps, Igor On Wed, 25 Sep 2002, [iso-8859-1] Gunnar Boström wrote: > This works fine except that I get the windows short form of the > directories in the CFH variable. > I've tried filtering through cygpath but no luck. > Any suggestion? > > :-? > > > -Original Message- > > From: Frantisek Dufka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: den 18 september 2002 10:56 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: Open bash at the current explorer directory? > > > > > > I don't know how to do it without using .bashrc, but this > > works for me > > (current cygwin, NT 4.0) > > > > Registry key contains: > > > > D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sb -sr -sl 16384 -fn fixedsys -fg > > gray -bg black > > -e /bin/env CFH="%1" /bin/bash --login > > > > .bashrc contains > > > > if [ "$CFH" != "" ] ; then > > cd "$CFH" > > unset CFH > > fi > > > > No temporary files, bash.exe or .bash_profile is not executed twice. > > Also looks like cygpath -u is not needed, DOS paths seem to > > work in cd > > command. > > > > Frantisek > > > > - > > * John Daniel Doucette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [13-09-02 15:23]: > > > I am using Win2000 Pro, SP3.

Re: Lost /bin/latex?
This is probably due to the fact that usr/bin/readlink.exe and usr/man/man1/readlink.1 were included (erroneously, I guess) in the tetex-bin-20020530-3 distribution, instead of listing a dependency on cygutils. The new distrib corrects that problem, but uninstalling the old one resulted in losing readlink. As this is not something that can be fixed in the tetex package, people will probably just have to reinstall cygutils. For the future, it would probably be a good idea to have the output of the postinstall scripts logged somewhere (setup.log.full?). Is setup.exe responsible for running the scripts? Also, for the package builder, it might be nice to get a warning if there are file clashes in some packages. This is probably more of a challenge...

All well and good (and now that you mention it, I think I remember reading about this glitch a while back), but doesn't that create a bit of a catch-22 for the tetex post-install script when it attempts to invoke readlink? How is it possible to get that to run correctly? Must I reinstall cygutils (obviously yes) and then also reinstall tetex? Well, I tried that, and to the best of my ability to scan the stuff whizzing by in the post-install script's window, the diagnostic about a missing readlink did not appear. It seems that the overall impression of the post-install activity as it flashed before my eyes was rather different than what I remember from upgrading tetex earlier today. I wonder how critical that readlink is to the overall activity and success of the tetex post-install script(s)? All's well that ends... I guess.

Re: Moving cygwin discussions to Usenet? (e.g., alt.os.cygwin)
Regarding the thread "Moving to Usenet?"
(www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-07/msg00275.html) (which I found by via
www.google.com/search?q=site:cygwin.com+usenet to see who else also wanted

I WILL FIRMLY 2ND Jonas Jensen's good suggestion
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-07/msg00206.html) for
THE NEED TO MOVE DISCUSSIONS TO USENET, instead of, else in addition to, the
present Mailing lists (www.cygwin.com/lists.html).
While the mailing lists are an impressive and honorable effort, one doesn't
want to have to sign up and manage a whole huge email list to just involved
in a few issues. It's very off-putting, a waste of bandwidth, and only
cost-effective if you're really involved. While it might be okay for those
already heavy involved (so they might not want to change anything), it
definitely puts off newcomers, probably hundreds or thousands of people who
would otherwise get involved (and so may not be hear to speak up). To avoid
the flood of emails I'd get if I'd subscribe, I'm having to read the EMAIL
list with a WEB browser, yet reply via email; that wasn't the intended use;
but I would never want to store, sort thru, thread, and search the flood of
emails I would get if I subscribed; Google is much better for that. And for
the millions of users on web email as Yahoo and Hotmail, such advanced
filtering and threading of email typically isn't even possible, even if the
user had the space to do it.
Email lists CAN work for an initial small number of very involved people,
but not for a large crowd who are mostly loosely involved.
And, in response to Chris Faylor ([EMAIL PROTECTED])'s concern that
"sources.redhat.com does not have the software, the capacity, or the
manpower to operate a news server" ("However, if you think that this is a
good idea, please do look into
setting up something like an alt.os.cygwin newsgroup"), with today's tricks,
MOVING TO USENET MAY NOT BE AS DIFFICULT AS IT APPEARS.
http://groups.google.com allows users to read and post to Usenet without
subscribing to anything (so simple to use and no load on the source
servers). All you'd have to do is to find someone to host the master copy
of the Usenet group, and you'd be set. I'm not experienced with hosting or
starting a Usenet group, but if you're already (thankfully) going to the
trouble to archive this email list on www.cygwin.com (which also DOES take
the actual traffic of readers), it wouldn't seem that much harder to set up
a real server.
However, though I don't know if he'll do it, MY GOOD FRIEND Matt Bartley
(see CC), who has extensive Usenet experience, MIGHT BE INTERESTED in
helping with this, since he loves Linux & Unix, and something like
www.cygwin.com which, clearly and strongly, brings this wonderful Unix stuff
into the Windows world should make him very happy.
AND I WILL DONATE USE OF AN EXCHANGE SERVER for this purpose, if someone
with Usenet experience will set it up. (Unless it's enormous bandwidth with
no funding for it (which doesn't seem likely if the postings which can be
fed to other Usenet servers for reading)). At Cytex, we're willing to
donate Windows hosting for those who will help get it working. See
www.Cytex.com/Hosting/4Help for other offers.

Aside: The only apparent advantage of mailing lists that I see offhand that
it can better hide the email addresses from spammers (as www.cygwin.com/ml
is attempting to do by the email address expansions (e.g., "cygwin at
sourceware dot cygnus dot com") in the web archive above), but since once
the spammers have gotten your email address once it's all over (since they
share lists), I think a much better approach is to instead focus on methods
to filter your email from spammers, possibly by something like a service
which requires a user, in response to their first email attempt, to register
their address with you (which they (a human) can easily do via a web form,
but would take way to much time for a spammer to do for each address).
Maybe someone's heard of such a thing?

ftp and ncftp hangs: any ideas?
Newest version installed off the web today, previous version 6 mos ago did not have the problem. Symptom: ftp hangs after ls, or get, or put. It hangs AFTER completing the operation. (overrun?) Systems: Win 98 (cygwin) talking to Linux. Other: I thought it might be related to rxvt, so I switched back to the dos shell: it still hangs under bash. I tried ncftp, often it will run without hanging, however if I set "passive" or other switches it too will hang. It seems like if I set any options for it, it hangs the same way. I tried redirecting the console (

I don't follow the implication. Had the fault been in info->func() then
::simplestub would have done same. It didn't. Explicitly terminating the
thread would bypass the dll detach/race thereby imposing a much greater
impact on code behaviour.

No worries. One big multi meg file or [ahem] 16,000+ tiny ones. Didn't
think I ought to post that. The main point is (non-static)
cygthread::SD_count is explicitly initialised by me. I've often seen the
later members of the threads[] array zero.
I've looked into that aspect a bit more. Other perfectly functional
processes are having this occur. For instance, the "sig" thread isn't
always getting allocated into threads[NTHREADS-1] but earlier up and
threads["sig"+1]..threads[NTHREADS-1] are all zero. AFAIKT this isn't a
bug, the current cygthread::new() code looks able to cope. I mention it
on the off-chance that being able to "new cygthread" prior to all
threads[] being "up" is contrary to design (I set SD_count non-zero in
cygthread::init).

If you don't think threads[1] served any useful purpose then so be it.

If cygpath has to convert a path it uses an internal function of the Cygwin DLL that expects *real* paths and a Java class path typically have some jar files in it. I am not sure, whether this shoulkd be really fixed in the Cygwin DLL, since the called function uses internal path caching (at least what I saw from a *very* quick look) and the cache might not get filled with non-directory elements. This would require to implement the necessary functionality in cygpath. I already have it on my list, since I will change to Java development at some time, but the task is currently not scheduled. Anyone else may implenet it before *I* need it . OTOH, you might not convert yout path to --unix anyway, since I doubt that you have a JVM or Java compiler (except gjc) that understands cygwin paths. > 2) I did a work-around with assembling the path again in my > .tcshrc.

Re: tail -f will not work with IIS generated log files
Re: "Re: tail -f will not work with IIS generated log files" (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-10/msg01480.html) Well, the subject says it all. And the reason Robert C. gives (IIS pre-allocates a lot of buffer-space at the end of it's logs) would also explain why I get these odd errors: tail: ex020925.log: file truncated $ tail -f ex020926.log|grep -i '192.168.1.1' Binary file (standard input) matches Bit of bummer because getting "tail" to monitor IIS was the VERY reason I downloaded and installed www.CyGWin.com . I'm wondering: 1) When might someone fix this? (extend "tail" to deal with the IIS log tricks, and thus making a more powerful "tail") tail doesn't display so is surely stripping out pre-allocated buffer space at the end (perhaps because, in MS-DOS, it's preceded by a ^Z), but not going back to see if that space it skipped has changed, or just not noticing any changes because , as Robert suggested, it's probably just looking at the size of the file. What it probably should be looking at first is the mod-date, and when that changes, continue outputting it's output at the point where it found no more valid text, NOT necessarily the end of the file. This minor redesign could then be folded back into the Gnu sources, for a more powerful tail for everyone. It's certainly imaginable that other logs might pre-allocate end buffer space to ensure fast writes. 2) What's the workaround? Implementing "tail -f" via "less" or "Perl" (as http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&keyword s=libfile-tail-perl and www.google.com/search?q=%22tail+%2Df%22+perl+OR+less)?

It will get fixed as soon as you submit a patch for it! Seriously. All of the cygwin people work on a volunteer basis. We all have lives/jobs to contend with, and contribute to cygwin when we can. If you have a feature you must have, implement it.
