If I understood this correctly, the new release fixes the "mbstate_t bug" that 
was referred to in an earlier thread.

Does the exact same thing happen?
 
Does anyone here have a symbol file for windows 98SE? It would be
interesting to know where it crashed.

As for resolving this, I've no immediate suggestions. Lets start with
answers to my questions above.

The only difference is that with the snapshot, after the
to pick the install directory screen,the next screen shows progress on 
the progress bar sayng it is parsing setup.ini and then checking 
for various files, then it goes to the package picker.With the setup.
exe 
from cygwin.com/ main page at that screen it doesn't show any progress 
or indicate it is doing anything, it just stays there for a few 
seconds while the computer works and then moves on to the package 
picker screen. The error is the same.

1.3.15-1: small bug in win32/mmsystem.h waveOutOpen prototype

[heiko]

Hi,

according to Microsofts description the prototype for waveOutOpen()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/mmfunc_36b2.asp
is a bit wrong:

MMRESULT WINAPI waveOutOpen
(LPHWAVEOUT,UINT,LPCWAVEFORMATEX,DWORD,DWORD,DWORD);

It should be
MMRESULT WINAPI waveOutOpen
(LPHWAVEOUT,UINT,LPCWAVEFORMATEX,PDWORD,PDWORD,DWORD);

Further the 2nd parameter is declared differently at microsofts header:
PUINT instead of UINT
This affects the WAVE_MAPPER definition also.

Thanks for your good work,
Heiko Eißfeldt

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gcc-3.2-2

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of gcc available for download.  This is a very
minor refresh against the released version of gcc 3.2 plus the usual
voluminous cygwin + mingw specific patches.  However, the only
noticeable change from the last release was an attempt to correctly
define mbstate_t.

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.  You'll find
gcc listed in the "Devel" category.

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.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.  Of
course, it always pays to check the mailing list archives prior to posting
to save yourself the embarrassment of asking a question that has been
asked multiple times before.

Installation problems

[Todd Jones]

I tried downloading cygwin several times from different mirrors over the past 
24 hours with not success.  The downloads would go okay, and everything would 
appear to be installed.  However, I have no /bin or /usr/bin directory and 
cygwin1.dll is not installed.

The pc is a win98 system.  I have looked into the archive file which I 
download for both bash and cygwin and everything appears to be there.  For 
example, everything in the bash package is installed except items which go 
into the bin directory.

My install directory is C:\cygwin.  Everything else appears to be in order.  
Also, there is a /usr/X11R6/bin directory.

If anybody has any ideas I'd be appreciative.

Thanks, Todd Jones

So, in other words, either you are using the "download" rather than the
"install" option or, more likely, you have previously installed some
other package (like the NetworkSimplicity abomination) which reset your
cygwin mount table for you.

Probably if you search your system for bash.exe using Windows Find or
Search options, you'll find it in some other directory.  Once you find
that, you should be able to find 'mount.exe' which will show you how
your mount table is screwed up.  'mount --help' will show you how to
reset your mount table and then you can reinstall things correctly.

Updated sshd install scripts

[Ross Smith II]

I've updated my sshd install scripts to support named options:

Usage: sshd_system.sh [options]

options:

  -P|--port port
  -s|--sshd "sshd options"(quotes are required)
  -f|--config   sshd_config_file  (default is /etc/sshd_config)
  -c|--cygwin   "CYGWIN environment variable" (default is "binmode ntsec
tty")
  -?|--help this help screen
  -v|--version

$ sshd_user.sh -?
Usage: sshd_user.sh [options]

options:

  -u|--user username (default is the current user (ross))
  -p|--password password (do not use this option to be prompted for a
password)
  -P|--port port
  -s|--sshd "sshd options"(quotes are required)
  -f|--config   sshd_config_file  (default is /etc/sshd_config)

tty")
  -S|--privsep  (ignore "UsePrivilegeSeparation Yes" in /etc/sshd_config)
  -?|--help (this help screen)
  -v|--version

The scripts set the correct permissions on all files, and explain how to
deal with

UsePrivilegeSeparation Yes

I've posted the scripts and a short readme at

http://www.netebb.com/cygwin/

And you can download them from

http://www.netebb.com/cygwin/sshd_install_scripts.tgz

I hope you find them useful.

Yes.  Add "codepage:oem" to your CYGWIN environment variable.

P.S. David (Starks-Browning), should this be in the FAQ?

how-to use _WIN32 preprocessor with cygwin ?

[Eric Belhomme]

hi,

First, I'm not familliar with cygwin nand gcc, so i'm sure my question is 
trivial, but i didn't found how to resolve it. (sorry for the noise)

I just installed cygwin on my win2k computer to try to compile a linux based  
lib (the libprelude)

The problem is libprelude uses some glibc6 APIs included on . I 
tried to resolve the problem on doing my own include file and replace all 
 includes by this code :

#ifndef _WIN32
# include 
#else
# include "myheader.h"
#endif

So as I readen on the cygwin FAQ, _WIN32 sould be declared ans "myheader.h" 
sould be used instead of  but that' not the case :-(

So i deduce the _WIN32 preprocessor is not known under cygwin environment. I 
wonder I have to declare something, somewhere, but as I said in intro, I'm 
not familliar with the gnu C compiller...

Thanks for your attention ;)

RE: Quake3 Arena Dedicated

[Mario Ohnewald]

Hi
I was talking about a dedicated server, no rendering, no frames, no X ;)
the thing is that We will get 4Servers Sponsored for our LAN-Party, each
with 2GHz, 1GB RAM.
Unfortunatelly we will run Windows on it, cause of Battlefield.

So, me, Mario thought, NO WAY, i still want UNIX to handle my Gameserver
stuff..
The fact that its a dedicated, this is no the right list. Sorry!
I thought i sent it to cygwin.

Cheers, Mario

btw. I got sshd working, did a passwd Administrator, but still cant log in.

A hopeless case! I love it.

Seriously, Mario, are you trying to simply run Quake3 or are you trying to
port it?

I think you might be able to get Quake3 to run natively on Cygwin easily, if
you had its source code and simply recompiled it.

After all, it's mostly a question of running the 3D calculation engine, not
doing the rendering, and serving UDP sockets, which Cygwin can do quite
well, I'm certain.

The cygwin-specific gcc compile flag -mwin32 causes the _WIN32 macro to be 
defined.  Certain cygwin applications predate that arrangement, so confusion 
is understandable.

No it shouldn't.  DWORD_PTR != PDWORD.

This is what I see in documentation:

MMRESULT WINAPI
waveOutOpen(LPHWAVEOUT,UINT_PTR,LPWAVEFORMATEX,DWORD_PTR,DWORD_PTR,DWORD);

the DWORD_PTR and UNIT_PTR are new typedefs for win64-win32 compatability

Lynn,

Cygpath as you've show it operating, is working perfectly correctly. The 
"--path" option is for converting PATH-like variables in which several file 
or directory names are separated by colons (UNIX -> Windows) or semicolons 
(Windows -> Unix).

Interesting -- I'll have to give that a try; I think that binary-only mode

I just got C++ Test v2.1 and it has explicit support for Cygwin and

Cygwin 1.3.15-1 crash Windows 2000

[Ian Burrell]

I updated to Cygwin 1.3.15-1 yesterday and since then have crashed 
Windows 2000 a few times.  I am running Windows 2000 SP3 build 2195.

I do have Norton Antivirus 2003 installed but some of the crashes 
happened when it was disabled.  I had trouble with Norton Utilities in 
the past and uninstalled an old version when I installed the new version 
of NAV a few weeks ago.  There haven't been any problems until I updated 
cygwin1.dll.

The crashes happened when:

1. Killing hung perl process
2. Starting multiple rxvt bash windows

I looked at the dumps with dumpchk.exe.  All the crashes were from 
bash.exe process (version 2.05b7), in the ntoskrnl, and the 
Kei386EoiHelper function.   I have minidump and complete memory dumps if 
anyone wants to analyze them.

If bash is doing something to crash your Windows 2000 then there is
something wrong with your Windows 2000.  That's a given with any modern
OS like anything with a Windows NT vintage (but not Windows 95 and its
variants of course).  User programs should not be able to crash an OS
unless you are running as a privileged user, and even then, it's not
real likely.

Likely candidates for your crash are hard disk problems, either with a
bad disk or corrupted disk, memory problems or other hardware problems,
a bad driver, your virus checker (disabled doesn't necessarily mean it's
not running), or corrupted OS files.

Re: gcc (as.exe) install error

[Danny Sauer]

Danny,

The dialog regarding your problems with GCC and / or "as" (or whatever the 
real problem ultimately turns out to be) should take place in public.

I'm not in front of the machine, but for the time being I'll add this:

When I copy that path and paste it in on the command line, it runs
just fine (well, as fine as something that expects something on STDIN
can run).  I can add "--help" and it displays the help.

I've done a complete uninstall, followed by a reboot and a complete
install (by selecting "uninstall" and then "install" at the root of
the software tree) on that machine, and the same thing happens.

I'll check the version that got reinstalled Mon morning.  Thanks for
the help so far.  The community rocks.

Use CVS, the sources are not always in sync. The whole tree is very big,
so you may find the list at http://cygwin.com/contrib.html useful (it
doesn't list a couple of necessary files, but you can download them
later when the build fails).

IIRC, the patch didn't apply cleanly to the latest CVS.

Hope this helps,
Baurjan.

P.S. CGF et al: can we expect the patch being reworked and incorporated
into cygwin in 1-2 weeks, or should we write and use our own
workarounds? Thanks in advance.

[RESOLVED] Cygwin 1.3.15-1: setup 2.249.2.5 stack fault when installing on win98 SE

[Xenicus Starr]

I found a copy of cygwin in c:\program files\ which did not work 
for obvious reasons. I deleted it and cygwin setup installed cygwin 
just fine. I'm not sure how cygwin got into that directory but I 
suspect another application like Java developers kit or something 
similar installed it there.

In anycase, it runs just fine now.

Thanks,
X
