What "bash --login -i" has done for my project?
My project runs well in cygwin's bash.

RE: ntsec and remote copy
Hi Pierre, thanks for your reply! That indeed turned out to be the case. > The owner of the remote file has a SID that does not appear > in your passwd file and thus it cannot be mapped to a uid. > Cygwin then uses uid = -1 > This also explains what you describe in your follow up > message. > > Perhaps the Windows security gui or the cacls program will > reveal the identity of the owner. > > Pierre What happened was the following: - I had trimmed down my /etc/passwd file (I think I read somewhere it was advisable to remove users from there for which you don't want access. For example when running telnetd, this seems to be the only way to restrict access). In the process, I also removed the Administrators group from /etc/passwd. (I don't really want somebody to break into my system as Administrator via telnet) - I am member of the Administrators group, so as the ntsec doc mentions, all files I create are owned by Administrators, but that wasn't in /etc/passwd, so it's an unrecognised user. Adding Administrators to /etc/passwd solved my problems. Remaining questions: - is there another way to prevent specific users access to telnet or ftp ? (or ssh when I get round to installing sshd) ? - It seems cygwin does not use the above mentioned behaviour that files that I create are owned by Administrators, instead they are owned by myself. This is fine for me, but I guess worth mentioning in the doc. - I still don't understand why certain cygwin programs could read the file and others not (see mail below). It can't be NT, because I could obviously read/write all files I created myself using NT programs. So, I have the impression that some cygwin programs use ntsec in different ways. For example, cat or vi could read the file with an unrecognised owner, but test -r couldn't. (I recently reinstalled and upgraded the whole of cygwin, so I don't think it's because I have old versions lying around).

Re: pipe improvements in snapshot
I have similar experience. Examining the processes when the ./configure hangs reveals that hanging leaf seems to be always 'sed', running as a part of config.status script creating Makefiles etc. I'm running XPPro, the same results were achieved when running configure inside xterm or inside FSFemacs (X version). Attached is cygcheck output, but it was already running *after* I reverted to 20021209 snapshot. If someone needs cygcheck output with offending snapshot, pls let me know.

I am 95% sure that (some) Borland compilers license (include) MFC. You might be correct that it has not been ported, but Microsoft licenses it. The VC compiler includes the MFC source code so it would not be too much work to port (unlicensed). I assume that if source code existed that did the same thing as MFC then it could be entirely legal. I think the original question was about a console program that used MFC and I would probably suggest not using MFC for that. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: using MFC with cygwin
I believe Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Windows comes with MFC. http://www.metrowerks.com/ CodeWarrior is a much more standards-compliant compiler than VC++ and I think even more than g++, but it has a "compatibility mode" that allows it to compile a lot of broken VC++ code. Maybe if you ported MFC, you could distribute a patch instead of your port. Alternatively, maybe you could help me port ZooLib to Cygwin. If you succeeded (or helped me to) the changes could be folded into the ZooLib distribution and everyone would benefit. ZooLib is open source under the MIT license and is a lot nicer API than MFC. http://zoolib.sourceforge.net/ some documentation can be had at http://www.goingware.com/zoolib/cookbook/ Best, Michael D.

Script Doesn't Work Correctly with Cron
I have a script that works when I run it from the command line, but when it is executed with cron, it produces a null file. I am sure that cron is executing it because it creates the file. It is just not populated. Here is the script. I want to query an Oracle database every couple of minutes, capture some data, and append it to a flat file. I want to keep 2000 lines in the flat file. Can someone spot the error? Again, it works run from the command line. #!/bin/bash sqlplus -s scott@mydb < up @ss.sql | grep -v "Enter password:" >> monsql.lst tail -2000 monsql.lst > montemp.lst rm -f monsql.lst mv montemp.lst monsql.lst -- 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/
GCC Include Paths
Help, We're trying to make GCC automatically search for required header files, unforunately if we use the C_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable or -I you need to enter every single search directory. For our current project this results in a line over 2000chars long (too long for windows or GCC to handle. Can we somehow tell GCC to search subfolders or is there some other way to do this??? thanks, Allan. -- 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/

RE: GCC Include Paths
Vijay, Allan, Cygwin is similarly limited. All Unix / POSIX systems have such a limit, but Cygwin's limit is much smaller than the typical limit on a Unix (-like) system. I don't know it for a fact, but I'm pretty sure this limit is not imposed by Cygwin itself (why would it?) but is a Windows limitation. Most of the time "xargs" resolves this, but obviously that's not the case for -I arguments to gcc or in general when the argument overload originates in auxiliary arguments that name file system entities and which must all be present concurrently. I suggest that you create a separate directory containing links (symbolic links or, if feasible (*), hard links) to all the (required) include files in all the include directories. Then you can side-step the argument list limit. (*) Hard links are an option (the preferred option, actually) if the file systems are NTFS and the "target" of the link is on the same file system volume as the link. If the latter does not hold, Cygwin will copy the files, so this approach will still work, but you won't be using actual links. Lastly, in keeping with the pedantic theme of which I'm so fond, I put "target" in quotes since hard links are all co-equal and there is no "original" or "target" vs. "link" distinction, just alternate names for the same underlying file. Good luck. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA At 10:29 2002-12-12, Vijay Sampath wrote: Yes, we have faced a similar problem.

RE: GCC Include Paths
Randall, I just tried out a line with 2 characters and it works fine on bash as an input to GCC. At this point I gave up trying to increase the length to find out the limit. Whatever the bash limit is, it is definitely greater than a windows shell. Of course, if you are invoking a bat file or some such thing from a cygwin shell then you will be bounded by the windows limit. Therefore Allan, I suggest trying to move to a "pure" cygwin enviroment, if there is such a thing.

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022)" -- cause and cure
I think this is unrelated to previous messages on this list with a similar subject. Instead, it pertains to a problem that I encountered and solved myself; I thought it might benefit others to hear about it, so here it is. The symptom is that I was trying to start a non-Cygwin program that I'd just built, and saw the above-mentioned popup. It didn't occur to me for a long time that the problem had anything to do with Cygwin, since neither the program -- nor the DLLs on which it depended -- used Cygwin. However, I *had* installed those DLLs by using Cygwin's "unzip" to unpack a ZIP file. I then noticed that if I simply did "chmod +x *.dll" on those DLLs, the problem went away. I figure "unzip" set the permissions on those DLLs to 0640, which seems reasonable from Cygwin's point of view ... unfortunately, though, NT requires those DLLs to be executable; hence the infuriatingly obtuse error popup. -- PGP Fingerprint: 3E7B A3F3 96CA 8958 ACC5 C8BD 6337 0041 C01C 5276 -- 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/
RE: GCC Include Paths
Vijay, I guess I was misled by this: /usr/include/limits.h:#define _POSIX_ARG_MAX 4096 /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h:#define ARG_MAX 65536 /* max bytes for an exec function */ Furthermore, "/usr/include/limits.h" bears a Red Hat copyright and is specifically marked as a "part of Cygwin," while "/usr/include/sys/syslimits.h" bears a "Regents of the University of California" copyright.

Re: Rsync performance increase through buffering (cygwin/ssh solution?)
Below is a description of a buffering speed improvement. The original message with complete patch for performance can be found here: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&newwindow=1&selm=at1i0e%241tj3%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw This may explain the horrendous performance of rsync with ssh under cygwin. Perhaps the way that cygwin emulates these calls. It is especially bad under the circumstances mentioned here - with a large sync of data where the files are identical (-I).

Re: Shell script wont run with cron, but it works ok in the command line.
Try adding "c:\cygwin\bin" to your *system* (not user) PATH environment variable (in the Control Panel System applet select the Advanced tab, then Environment Variables, and change the System PATH variable to contain the above). If you have any other POSIX-compliant toolset installed and in your path, make sure the cygwin bin directory precedes that. As for making the files executable by SYSTEM, "chmod a+x /bin/*" should do it. As a side note, it's always a good idea to use absolute paths in scripts (i.e. /bin/rm) if you are uncertain what the value of PATH may be when the script executes.

Re: Installation
Actually, I'm not sure if there is a proper list for this. This list can't really answer questions about someone else's distribution, assuming that's the source of the problem. This list can help you determine if the CD is the source of the problem (or if it's just user error). However, we would need to know exactly the steps you take and selections you make prior to the "problem". For example, one way that this problem could arise is if you picked a local directory which did not contain the any packages. If there is nothing obviously wrong with your process, then the problem would have to be with the CD, it's contents, and/or it's structure. But to resolve that issue, you'd need to contact the provider of the CD.

You might also want to think about more creative ways of dealing with this type of situation than just renaming every occurrence of addr_t. Like involving macros maybe? For the record, addr_t is apparently used on some older UNIX systems. 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/
Emacs: completion of buffer names ignores case
I'm using emacs-21.2-10. I frequently want to switch to the buffer named `*shell*', so I type C-x b * s h e SPC RET expecting that, since `*shell*' is the only buffer whose name begins with `*she', the SPC will cause its complete name (`*shell*') to appear in the minibuffer, and the RET will cause Emacs to switch to it. Instead, when there's a buffer named `*Shell Command Output*', the name doesn't complete fully: after I hit RET, I'm looking at a brand-new buffer named `*shell'. This isn't what I wanted :( It's as if Emacs has decided to ignore case when completing what I've typed. Indeed, if I type TAB instead of RET, I see Click on a completion to select it. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: *Shell Command Output* *shell* Now, I can understand that Emacs would ignore case when completing file names on Windows, since Windows itself doesn't distinguish file names by case. But since Emacs does distinguish buffer names by case, I expect it, when completing buffer names, to ignore a buffer whose name differs in case from what I've typed.

LaPack++ help
Hello! Hope you are doing well. My name is Huma Babak, I have been researching for school about the LaPack++ package and I got your name as someone who has used LaPack++ package. Can you please tell me your experience with this package? Positives and Negative, more focused on the negatives. I am asked to wrap the package in .NET. Can you just pass any size matrix to the library and expect it to perform the general operations on the matrix?

Re: Individual vs. list-only replies (Was Re: Force bash to startas administrator)
Igor Pechtchanski wrote: Andrew, I would like to point out that most people on this list are busy people, As am I. and that the most convenient way to reply is the one that takes the least effort on their part. In my software I simply hit reply instead of reply all. Either button is as easy. The message that started this discussion used the default behavior of pine (reply to author, cc to list - I hit reply, write the message, and press send), whereas for this message I actually had to explicitly remove your name from the To: line and move the cygwin list from Cc: to To:. I'm only doing this to prove the point now, and will most probably not do so in the future. Yes and in my software the default way is to either hit the reply button or type Control-R. In order to reply all you need to hit that button or Control-Shift-R (i.e. a little more difficult). But the issue is not only are people who reply busy but so are the readers. With your software's defaults I get a message in my email AND see it and have to skip it later when I read the list. Thus it is more work for me, hence the request not to do this. As for the path of least inconvenience, if your method was the most popular then I would be receiving email whenever somebody response to one of my posts but I don't. Therefore it sounds to me like this is a pine'ism. Otherwise I will simply set up a filter to ignore all email from you :-) ! This is certainly your choice. Ploink! Again, I don't appreciate getting email that's a copy of what I'll be reading on the list shortly anyway. As I mentioned before, the standard way to deal with this (on any mailing list) is to use a Reply-To header. Since your method for reading and posting to this list is non-standard (namely, the gmane newsgroup) and incompatible with Reply-To, It didn't used to be incompatible however the gname maintainer changed that behavior. you would need to seek alternate solutions. Yeah, ploink I guess... :-) P.S. Also note that, even with your current setup, you can get a double copy only if someone replies to a message that you posted. Again, when others respond I do not get an additional email copy of it. Just with some people. Apparently people who use pine and perhaps some other mailers. -- 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/

Heh, fix your mail reader. Seriously. It's neither the posters, nor the list serve's responsibility to reduce duplicates. And given that there are valid reasons for duplicates (say an issue that affects both kde-cygwin and general-cygwin discussions), it's up to you to solve the problem at your end. > As for the path of least inconvenience, if your method was the most > popular then I would be receiving email whenever somebody response to > one of my posts but I don't.
