Re: TERM problems

[jurgen . defurne]

Hello,

I'd like to use rxvt, but without an X server, its fonts are ugly. I like
bold non-serif fonts, and the only thing I can get are thin serif
fonts.

Does any body have some hints how to fix this ?

Regards,

Jurgen

Try rxvt instead of the dosbox cosole...
rxvt -sl 1000 -rv -geometry 120x30 +sr -e bash -i

It does xterm emulation, which I find quite general
purpose.

Did the job thanks.

To emulate that "dos" feel a bit more I used:

rxvt -sl 1000 -ls -rv -geometry 100x30 -sr -e pdksh -l

So here are a few q's to complete my new "Terminal Software":

-I tried -fn Terminal but that didn't work. How can I load the Windows 
Terminal font instead of this rather thin and small one?
-Anyway I can get right-clicking to equal ctrl-ins (paste)?
-How can I get the del key to work and not show "~" instead
-How can I get the backspace key to work where SOMETIMES it's shown as ^H

Thanks for your help,

Poff

ps. I'll write all this up sometime on poff.sixbit.org as an alternative 
terminal "software" (ssh etc.) but no zmodem receive :(

You can supply any Windows font name for use, i.e. '-fn "Lucida
Console-11"'.  Try also shift-keypad-plus/minus to select different
fonts while running.

Hmm, are you sure you have a "Terminal" font? I'm on XP and don't see it..maybe
they got rid of it on XP.

I don't think so. If you have a wheel mouse, you can just click it, however.

I very, very rarely use rxvt, but I seem to remember `stty erase ^?' doing the
trick for me way back when.

> -How can I get the backspace key to work where SOMETIMES it's shown as ^H

IIRC, The rxvt argument `-backspacekey' e.g., `... -backspacekey ^H'.

I found a nice font with shift_kp+ * 2.

How can I specify rxvt to load this automatically?

I found middle-clicking with my 3 button mouse works a treat.

Try '-fn FixedSys'.  I prefer '-fn "Lucida Console-11"' personally.

In .inputrc:

Please read /usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-n.n.n.README

Now that takes me back.  Fire up the old 2400 baud modem and Chuck

Pb including Xm.h

[philippe guillaume]

My program contains some include of "Xm/Xm.h"

Libraries are defined like this : 
INC_DIR_XLIB = /usr/X11R6/include

and for compilation :
  -I$(INC_DIR_LIB) 

I manage to compile it on Linux but not on Cygwin !!!
But the pathes for Xm.h are the same !

When i want to compile it the following message
appears : " Xm/Xm.h " no such file or directory

How do you understand it ?

A search for "Xm.h" on  reveals that the package
'lesstif' contains those headers. So, you need to install the 'lesstif' package.

I hope this isn't rehashing old discussions, but I'd always assumed from 
the number of times people talk about using ssh to switch users that there 
was something inherently disadvantageous about using (say)

runas /user:Administrator "c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i"

or setting up a shortcut with the 'run as different user' checkbox set (in 
Win2K; I think the semantics are slightly different in XP IIRC).

But now I've tried it, it works fine for me... Is the only drawback that 
this doesn't work in DOS versions of Windows, or is there some other 
reason why it's not recommended?

Andrew.

If it's already there, then the pre-processor is not being given the directory
`/usr/X11R6/include', it would seem.

When compiling the file(s) that require this header, are you adding
`-I/usr/X11R6/include' ?

 Hello Elfyn,
no is the answer to your question, but I will today.

What I would like to clear up is it not the case that

whats the point of running config and make?

Know the feeling. Didn't have a chance to try your (and Jason's) rebaseall 
fix for apache last night -- things you can't do over ssh are a pain.

I'm not so worried about the server to be honest... It's only the
readline-based client that uses that nasty B19 dll which is what I want to 
get rid of cleanly.

Although having said that, I don't think MySQL 4.1 Alpha ships with the 
dodgy dll -- not sure what they've done, haven't investigated it properly 
yet.

Wicked, will give that a go.

Erm, sorry..what do you mean? ;-) If you mean why do you need to run "config;
make" etc, when openssl is in the distribution, then the answer is you don't.
There's no reason to re-build it unless a) there's a feature you need that's not
in the distribution or b) you need to debug a problem, etc, etc.

I decided to drop what I'm working on and play with MySQL this afternoon ;-)

If all goes well and I can get everything par the server working I'll see if
it/they (client and libs) would be accepted as packages..then tackle the server.

Suggestion to those who know about these things: being able to go

file /proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/blahblahblah

and have it return the type would be way cool. Or would that involve a 
really ugly hack?

Kinda, 'cos `file' uses stock source (i.e. fileutils) and this would require
changing it somewhat. It wouldn't be hard to add this as an option to regtool,
however.

That's what I was afraid of, spreading cygwarts all over things like file 
might not endear us to the rest of the posix world :)

The server will build fine and I was also able to run the tests, but
most of the time all tests are failing, but sometimes one or another
succeeds.  Please relibtoolize before configuring, else there will be no
shared libraries.

I can send you my patches this evening (for the 4.1.0-alpha version).

The server:

Well, you should play with the server using cygwin-1.5!  1.3.22 is
broken (in the relevant socket part), like it is a mess with apache too.

Besides, doesn't file work by reading bits of the file and inferring its
type based on content?  You would have to add specific support for it in
file (as opposed to adding entries in its database) to make an ioctl or
something.  I guess that's everyone's point, that it would pollute file
too much.

I was playing with this recently (mysql-4.0.13). I found the following
problems:

1) Underscore mismatches when using the x86 optimized assembler
implementation of string functions. Workaround: --disable-assembler

2) Missing $(EXEEXT) causes make to invoke an implicit rule, generating a
huge amount of nonsensical errors. Patch:

3) The long standing server problem. It seems like the complex C++ is

Already done :-)

They'd be useful, so sure, but I was hesatant about 4.0 let alone 4.1 . I'm
still thinking about using 3.23 .

Re: find -exec oddity

Well, I doubt greatly that you're an idiot. Confusion is the prelude 
to enlightenment, after all...

(Compare that with Eudora whose "mood watch" feature seems to think 
the first sentence of the previous paragraph is some kind of insult!)

However, we'd all appreciate it if you'd figure out how to use your 
mail client to make sure text attachments are not placed in-line with 
the message content. Not to do so defeats the purpose of attaching the 
"cygcheck" output, which is to make list searching meaningful by 
preventing the false hits that occur because of all the package and 
file names that are included in the cygcheck output.


I can't make sense of this.

$ find ./ -mtime -1  -print | wc -l
   55
$ find ./ -mtime -1 -ls | wc -l
   55
$ find ./ -mmin -1440 -ls | wc -l
   55
$ find ./ -mtime -1  -exec ls -l  '{}' \; | wc -l
 2046


Look carefully at the man page for find where the "-ls" option is 
described. It says that "-ls" is equivalent to running "ls" with the 
options "-dils". The salient option here is "-d" which suppresses the 
listing of a directory's contents when a directory is an explicit 
argument to ls. You're not including "-d" in your invocation of ls, so 
every directory produced by find contributes its entire contents to 
the output of ls that is subsequently counted by "wc -l".


$ find ./ -mtime -1  -exec ls -l  {} \; | wc -l
 2046
$ find ./ -mmin -1440  -exec ls -l  {} \; | wc -l
 2046
and just for grins

$ find ./ -print | wc -l
31701
$ find ./ -mtime -10 -print | wc -l
  285
$ find ./ -mtime -100 -print | wc -l
15590
The oddity (bug?) appears to be tied to -exec somehow.


No. The "-exec" option is doing just what you ask and just what it 
should.


Attached is cygcheck -c -v -s.


As above.


I can't attach the file lists (unpiped find output) as the message 
size then exceeds 100K and the redhat mailserver bounces it.


No matter. It's not needed.


Any help would be appreciated.


I hope my assumption about the problem is correct (file count 
discrepancies), since you didn't really say what it was that perplexed 
you.

My mistake on the attachment, it was originally sent as an attachment, 
along with the file lists, unfortunately the whole message bounced for size.

Your assumption about directories is a good guess, however seemingly 
only partially correct.

Here is the output today:

$ find ./ -mtime -1  -print
./
./files to backup.txt
./idiot.txt
and

$ find ./ -mtime -1  -print  -exec ls -l '{}' \;

Could you please check in this mysql client you compiled with "show
variables;" whether the "have_crypt" and the "have_openssl" are "NO" or
"YES".
If "YES", you might be able to get state-of-the art password verification
working in mysql under windows too!
see the use of the "encrypt()"  as per http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=784.

mysql> update TBL_USER set password= encrypt('holderio', '$1$saltsalt$')
where login= 'ameyer';
mysql> select encrypt( 'holderio', password) = password from TBL_USER where
login='ameyer';

P.S.: hopefully this solves it and we won't have to wait for the first
successful compilation of mysqld under cygwin.

3.23.x doesn't need patches at the source.

I had many problems relibtoolizing, so ended up building the DLL's
manually (works also fine).  I have my old 3.23.43 build online (static
libs only, including the server, it still is running well on very old
Cygwin DLL's, say pre 1.3.12, IIRC it was compiled with 1.3.10, and also
is running on 1.5, besides the fact that it fails 7 from 8 tests.  The
failings are randomly, one time the first test succeeds, anther time the
second and so on.

I would send you the URL on request in PM.


4.0.x is still a mess regarding libtoolizing with newer libtool and
newer autotools than they used at MySQL.com, 4.1.x was the first release
which makes no problems with the build tools and only minor problems
with the sources.

I don't see the confusion here.  You're feeding to "ls -l" the
parameters "./" , "./files to backup.txt" , and "./idiot.txt" which are
the results of find.  "./" is a directory, so ls prints its contents not
its name, that's why you see listings for all the files in the current
directory, followed by listings for "files to backup.txt" and
"idiot.txt".  When you add "-d" to ls, you get just three lines of
output, corresponding to the three things that find found.  How is this
confusing?

Re: TERM problems

Thanks,

This works much better, but btw. do you also have an idea how
to specify bold fonts ? I tried "Lucida Console-Bold-18", "..-18-Bold",
using a B only, searched in the fonts. It should be possible,
because the standard DOS box can be configured for bold fonts.

You can supply any Windows font name for use, i.e. '-fn "Lucida
Console-11"'.  Try also shift-keypad-plus/minus to select different
fonts while running.

No, it is a problem with the Cygwin/MySQL socket code.  Nothing works
with 1.3.22, similar as it is with Apache.  The older versions, e.g.
1.3.10 works better, but still not without crashes.

After Corinna fixed the code, so Apache is running without problems on
1.5 now, MySQL still crashes randomly (same behaviour as with 1.3.10),
maybe it crashes more often as before, well it is completely unstable
and nor usable as database server.

Doesn't look like /usr/X11R6/include , does it? You need to add

I hope this isn't rehashing old discussions, but I'd always assumed from

But now I've tried it, it works fine for me... Is the only drawback that

reason why it's not recommended?


This list tends to recommend Cygwin alternatives, although I've seen
the 'runas' approach mentioned on this list as well.  The only negative
I can see to using it would be if you're launching it from a Cygwin
shell and 'tty' is set in your CYGWIN environment variable.  In that case,
the output is garbled due to Cygwin's use of pipes for I/O handles.
Otherwise, if you prefer it, use it.

the selected font does not need to be specified on the command

Bingo.  If you're using Cygwin you've got access to vim, emacs, nano, 
all of which support variations to the line terminator.  Richard 
mentioned before that "The source code is designed to ONLY be used in 
MS-Windows, so I'm not interested in porting between Unix/MS-
Windows."  There's plenty of good editors (especially the ones 
intended for development) for windows that can handle LF as EOL.  
ConTEXT is quite nice if you go for 'free'/shareware.

I use LF for all my sources, whether they're unix or not.  As (I 
think?) you say, internal CRLF'ing and vice versa is just going to 
have problems where internal conversion doesn't behave as the user 
expects (read: cant read the user's mind).

Cheers,

Hi;

I'm on windows 2000 with cygwin.

I need to make a script that will check all of the file modified dates 
on all of the files in a list of directories.   If any of these dates is 
older then the current date I want to print the name of the file and the 
date to a file.

I'm new to bash scripting and many unix commands.  What are the commands 
that I want to loook at that could do these things for me?

Just had a look in the 4.1 for Windows distribution

standard mysql.exe without the readline functionality. Not sure what's

`man find'
`man date'
`man bash'

There's no easy way to explain it in a nutshell, as you'll have to script the
expressions to meet your criteria. Basically, `date' will give you a date
format, `find' has options to find files according to modification time (mtime)
and you'll need bash (or ash) to script it.

Alas, this mailing list is for Cygwin problems and questions etc, so you'll need
to ask another forum/list for extra help as needed.

HTH,

According to the source (defaultfont.h), rxvt loads with a "7x14" font by
default.  Using Shift-KP_Add from the start goes through "8x13", "8x16",
"10x20", and "12x24", in that order.  Using Shift-KP_Subtract from the
start goes through "6x13" and "6x10".  So, for the font that you liked,
you could use "rxvt -fn 8x16" plus whatever other flags you give to rxvt.

Apparently, it's in the latest 4.0 release, as they're now "publicly"
distribution the source for the Cygwin DLL. So, I'd guess it's in the 4.0
release..

Still no luck with the server. :-(

Re: Advice on where to look to solve a problem

[Randall R Schulz]

Steve,

This is elementary Unix script programming. Well, maybe intermediate scripting.

The "find" command will do everything you want. Read the man page ("man 
find"). It's chock full 'o options.

I do suggest you clarify your file age criteria. File time stamps have 
approximately second-level resolution (though find gives you only 
minutes or days as an age specification) so saying "older than the 
current date" sounds a little ambiguous. (No doubt you know what you 
mean. Just be sure you get it straight before writing your script or 
developing your find incantation.)

Find also allows you to use the modification time of an existing file 
as the age reference. In conjunction with this, you might want to 
review the capabilities of the "touch" command, which allows to you set 
the modification time of a file to an arbitrary value.

Good luck.

I think the find command should be able to do what you want.  For
example "find . -mtime +1" should give you a list of files that are
older than 24 hours (based on modification date.)  You didn't say
exactly what you meant by "older than the current date" but you may also
be able to use -daystart if you want files not modified today, rather
than in the last 24 hours.  

For printing the names, you can use "-ls" to give a rather verbose
listing, or append "| xargs ls -l" to get an "ls -l" listing for each
find result... you may want to read the other thread about doing ls -l
on find results, either add "-type f" or use "ls -ld" otherwise you'll
list contents of directories rather then their names.  You can also use
"-printf" and specify whatever output format you want.

Huh? I get lots of "undefined reference to
`__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)'" errors during
*linking*. I never get a server binary to test.

N.B. This is with 4.0.13  - you mentioned 4.1-alpha before, perhaps that is
why we see different problems.

Upping the level of nitpicking (and off-topicness) here, I don't see where
Shankar assumes that the Windows installation is WinNT.  In fact, Win98
will happily understand (and access, if it exists) the /WinNT/System32
directory (or file, as may well be).  The only thing assumed here is that
the directory is on the C: drive. :-)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gawk-3.1.3-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of GNU awk to 3.1.3-1.

This is a official release update.  The Cygwin release is based on the
original sources.  Besides several bugfixes, gawk-3.1.3 adds the
following new features:

- C-style switch statements are available.

- Under Cygwin, output files were generated always in binmode (LF
  lineendings) in 3.1.2.
  With 3.1.3 output files are generated with the lineendings determined
  by the binmode/textmode flag of the underlying mount point.


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.

If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the
Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com".  I would appreciate
it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

Kevin,

After printing the PATH, the later versions of cygcheck attempt to execute
"id.exe" to get user information.  For some reason this fails for you.
Can you try executing "id" and "CYGWIN=nontsec id" on the command line and
posting the output?  Try also running "cygcheck -s" under strace and
seeing what is the last system call cygcheck makes before it fails.

RE: mysqlc (was RE: php-mysql-cygwin how to)

[Bill McCormick]

Elfyn,

I compiled the 4.0.13 and I don't seem to have a mysqlc executable. What I
don't understand is why the mysqlc client that comes with the mysql win32
(which uses the cygwin dll) doesn't run in a cygwin bash shell. Even if it
did, it still doesn't get us to the point where we can use Perl and PHP
under Cygwin, right?

Also, why bother getting a server to run under Cygwin? It runs under Windows
just fine. Getting it to run under Cygwin under Windows seems like a lot of
busy work to little end. The only important thing is that the client works
so we can use the Perl DBI, PHP and other various client interfaces. Or am I
missing something?

I obtained a cygmysqlclient-12.dll with no major difficulties from 4.0.13
(just the usual add -no-undefined to the link line, and "autoreconf -fiv").
So, 4.0.x is certainly viable (and simple, even) for client purposes.

OpenSSH + Public Key Auth + ntsec

[John]

Hello,

We are running openssh 3.5p1 with public key authentication working with
no problems.  Currently, we have sshd running with the following:
CYGWIN="binmode ntsec tty".

When making directories via ssh:
ssh  "mkdir /cygdrive/d/temp/test"
or when copying files via scp:
scp file.txt :/cygdrive/d/temp/test

the files are given the "ntsec" permissions from cygwin and are corrupting
the NTFS filesystem.  I have tried installing sshd with:
CYGWIN="binmode nontsec tty"

so that cygwin would stop using ntsec and start using inherited NTFS
permissions.  However public key authentication will not work with this
configuration.  What happens with this configuration is that I can connect
to the remote server but am immediately disconnected.  I think what is
happening is that sshd accepts the public key authentication but rejects
it when it sees world readable files in ~/.ssh since the directory was
initially created via nontsec.

I have also tried specifying CYGWIN="binmode nontsec tty" in .bashrc and
.bash_profile with sshd installed with "ntsec" so that making directories
with ssh.exe uses inherited NTFS permissions.  However, this does not work
for scp.exe.  I tried to write a wrapper script for scp.exe to set the
variables correctly, however that did not work.  I think I would have had
to associate all .exe files with bash.exe to get that to work.

I have digged through the list archives and can not seem to find anyone
using "nontsec" and public key authentication.  Is this possible?  Or are
any of my partial workarounds close to a full workaround with a little
help?  Essentially we need ssh working with public key authentication on a
usable NTFS filesystem.  I would like to avoid using ntsec if at all
possible.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.  I can reply with more
information if needed.  Thank you,

John

Running "id" prints:
uid=1003(vanw) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users)

Running "CYGWIN=nontsec id" prints:
uid=1003(vanw) gid=513(None) groups=513(None)

I'm not sure what to look for in the strace output. Below is the

Well, this shows that you can run "id" with no crashes...

The included strace lines look like a normal termination sequence...
However, the strace output you've attached says

   Program name: c:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (2476)

at the top, which means you ran "id", not "cygcheck -s" under strace.
The idea was to try to get "cygcheck -s" to crash under strace, and see
what the last action before the crash would be.  Could you also run
"cygcheck -s" under gdb and see if it crashes?  If it does, try to get a
backtrace.

Does cygwin do "find" a little bit differently?

[Steve]

Hi;

I am on windows 2000 with cygwin.

My apologies if this isn't a cygwin issue.

I tried using find in cygwin with some examples from various 
documentation on the command.

I kept getting the same error messages.  I was wondering if the cygwin 
syntax was a bit different.

This is what I tried:



bash-2.05b$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/CUP/VRC
bash-2.05b$ find . -name "errors.txt" -print
FIND: Parameter format not correct
bash-2.05b$
Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this is not a cygwin issue

[Don Sharp]

Hi Steve

It is almost certain that you have MS Windows paths prior to cygwin/bin
in your PATH and so you are picking up MS' find rather than the Cygwin
find.

Try

which find

It works for me:

./boot.ini

Check your path env var or maybe update the find util.

Well, grepping  for "mail" produces:

Corrupting in what sense?

I use ssh with ntsec set on and haven't seen any corruption yet, I should
certainly like to know about it if it's likely to happen. Admittedly my
setup is with password rather than PK authentication though.

This was easy :-)

That is the main part of the patch I promised to send Elfyn.

In short:  Comment out all '#pragma interface' and '#pragma implementation'
lines, it doesn't work on Cygwin.

And besides that, compiling and linking works well.

Yeah, I noticed that too, but I really did run "strace /usr/bin/cygcheck
-s".

After running "cygcheck -s" under gdb, it exited normally. I then realized
that the problem is with my terminal under X. Running "cygcheck
-s" from a non-X terminal works (rxvt). Does that sound plausible? Maybe
there's a problem with X?

Anyways, thanks for the help.

the results of find.  "./" is a directory, so ls prints its contents not
its name, that's why you see listings for all the files in the current

"idiot.txt".  When you add "-d" to ls, you get just three lines of

confusing?
 

Brian,

Like I said, I'm an idiot.
It did not occur to me that "./" was being passed to "ls" and that ls

Oops, I'm sorry, my bad.  Cygcheck is not a Cygwin program, so it won't
show up under strace...  So, what this tells us is that cygcheck runs just
fine under strace.

Hmm...  Could you try running cygcheck from an rxvt in X mode (just set
DISPLAY before running rxvt), just to keep as many things fixed as
possible?  If that produces a problem, we know there's something wrong
with X.  If not, what terminal do you use?  What's your X server?  FWIW, I
run cygcheck from xterms under Exceed with not problems.

My first suspect would be the console allocation code (cygcheck will not
understand Cygwin ptys and will try to allocate a new console window when
running from X, but that should also happen in rxvt).  That's been
modified recently, IIRC, so it would help if you actually attached the
full output of "cygcheck -svr", so that we know at least which version of
the Cygwin DLL you have.

Correction: AFAIR, until recently, cygcheck would not *propagate* Cygwin
ptys, and *id.exe* would try to allocate a new console window when running
from X.  This doesn't seem to happen now.  I should really re-read my
messages before sending...

Re: OpenSSH + Public Key Auth + ntsec

[John]

Here is the corruption as explained by my NT admin:

--- Begin ---
Our current ACL is:

(Owner): Administrators
Administrators : Full Control
SYSTEM : Full Control
ServiceAccount : Full Control

Currently, whatever ssh/scp touches - the following ACL gets applied:

(Owner): ServiceAccount
Administrators : none (no permissions set)
SYSTEM : none (no permissions set)
ServiceAccount : none (no permissions set)
CREATOR GROUP  : none (no permissions set)
CREATOR OWNER  : none (no permissions set)
Everyone   : Read/Write/Execute
None   : none (no permissions set)
--- End ---

Also, when trying to take ownership of the files in windows (as
administrator), we get the following error: "The security descriptor
structure is invalid".  The fix for this was to run xcacls.exe and that
allowed us to take ownership of files and directories.

Obviously, we're using ssh/scp for moving files around for an automated
process.  When files have been pushed to an ssh server, sometimes they are
not accessable by the user that scp'd them in the first place and our jobs
cannot continue.  When I first noticed this, I logged in via ssh and saw
these files were owned by the creator but had  perms.  I did a "chmod
0644" and our automated process was then able to continue.  This happens
sporadically on some of our machines running cygwin.  A work around for
this is to "chmod 0644 " for every file before we do any further
processing of the file (move, copy, open, etc).

So there are two issues, not sure if they are directly related.  One, the
ACL's are getting changed to a point where an administrator can't regain
ownership through normal methods.  And two, when files are written,
sometimes they get  perms.

We have reformatted these machines and done fresh installs and yet the
corruption happens all over again on every machine using cygwin & ssh.

If there were a way to not use ntsec and use inherited permissions via
nontsec, that would be stellar.

Thanks again,
John

Re: send message/mail from command line

[Randall R Schulz]

Andrew,

The most minimal solution is "ssmtp." More fully featured is "exim."

Man pages and extended documentation in /usr/doc/exim-* and 
/usr/doc/ssmtp-* are available for both of these.

Performance problem

[Vladimir Baltchev]

Hi there,
We are about to port Unix - Irix and Linux applications to Windows using 
Cygwin. However the Cygwin version is very slow compared to Linux, even 
I compiled with the optimize option -O2. It is a Windows 2000, the 
program is a segmentation editor using Qt, OpenGl and some image 
processing.
What is the reason? Is it OpenGL on cygwin, or both?
Here is the library dependency list:

Dear Jason,
I've got some issues with IPC_RMID under cygwin, I got cygipc1.4.
Under Linux it works perfect but under windows it doesn't remove the
schmid.
First you have to start ipctest then start getshm. Find them in attach.
The first one allocates the memory writes the pid to it and the other
gets the memory removes the shmid and kills the previous application by 
the pid.
very simple.
Then when I start ipcs it shows me that the identifer wasn't removed
though it didn't write me any error in shmctl. T
hen I have to remove the identifer by hand
with ipcrm.
What could that be?

You'd need to do some performance testing to figure out specifically

Re: Performance problem

Some amount of benchmarking has been done.  You can see the email archives
for reports from various interested folks with their comparisons.  If you
haven't already, visit .  The FAQ covers some
common issues that may affect your results.  However, it sounds to me from
the general information you've provided that you're seeing 'normal
operation'.  Several times slower than Linux is not beyond expectations.
Again, I point out that this doesn't mean there isn't the possibility of
improvement.  If you feel that there is actually a specific issue here,
please feel free to report it as such.  See
 if that's the case.

I think you should be conserned about this.

The correct way to fix this problem was to blow away the directory .spamassassin
from my home directory and recreate it using the install script.

sorry I could not find the exact command to recreate the .spamassassin dir.

May be someone on the list remembers.

Re: OpenSSH + Public Key Auth + ntsec

[Mark Priest]

John,

I am using Cygwin and sshd with public key authentication on a Windows XP
Professional machine and I am seeing the same ACL behavior that you are.  I
have set the CYGWIN environment variable to "ntsec nontea" "nontsec ntea"
and "nontsec nontea".  These settings do not affect the fundamental behavior
when I copy files using scp (I am using the putty clients from a W2k
machine) and when I create directories using ssh with a mkdir command.

When files and directories are created the ACLs are set so that there are 3
ACLs of the Allow type.  One is for the file owner (which is always the user
using the scp or ssh), one is for the prmiary group of the user, and one is
for Everybody.  There are no allow ACLs for the Administrators group or for
SYSTEM.  However, on all of my "normal" Windows files and directories not
created by Cygwin the Administrators group and SYSTEM do have allow ACLs
which must be the default Windows behavior.

I am not sure what to suggest to get around this since Cygwin is setting
Unix-style permissions on files and directories as constrained by umask and
the default directory ACLs set using setfacl.  One thing that you could
consider doing is writing a client side script that first performs the scp
and then executes a remote command on the copied file to change the ACLs
using the new setfacl command (or try setting default ACLs on the target
directory using setfacl).  I used setfacl on a file I copied using scp as
follows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test
$ getfacl bogus.c
# file: bogus.c
# owner: cvsuser
# group: cvs
user::rw-
group::rw-
mask:rwx
other:rw-

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test
$ setfacl -m g:Administrators:7,u:SYSTEM:7 bogus.c

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/test
$ getfacl bogus.c
# file: bogus.c
# owner: cvsuser
# group: cvs
user::rw-
group::rw-
group:SYSTEM:rwx
group:Administrators:rwx
mask:rwx
other:rw-


When I looked at these files in Windows the Administrators group and the
SYSTEM user did have Widnows ACLs that granted most permissions, but not the
Full Control that is granted in Windows by default.  This might be enough
for you, however.

One additional observation I have is that I have no trouble changing
ownership of a file to a member of the Administrators group even without
using setfacl.  Even though ACL permissions are not shown for the
Administrators group I am able to change file ownership from Windows
Explorer if I am logged in as a member of Administrators.

Good luck,
Mark

Re: Performance problem

[Keen Wayne A Contr AFRL/MNGG]

General observation:  There are quite a few more optimizations that can have
*some* impact on performance.  Options for processor specific code and
increased math speed.

Note also -O2 is not maximum optimization, -O3 is:

-O3 Optimize yet more.  -O3 turns on all optimizations specified by -O2
   and also turns on the -finline-functions and -frename-registers
   options.

 That is NT++ AFAIK. W98 has only one way; edit c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat with an
MS-DOS style end_of_file capable editor of your preference (e.g. notepad).

You'll need to at least restart all cygwin tasks.


Graham, you have not stated which version of cygwin you are using - this
info might be relevant; to adjust the answers accordingly.

minimal vygwin version check:

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 P450 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) 2003-03-18 09:20 i686 unknown unknown

Re: Performance problem

[Andre Bleau]

If I am interpreting the output below correctly, you are developing an 
OpenGL program under X11; that's the main reason it is so slow.

OpenGL under X11 renders everything in software, without any hardware 
acceleration, so it's rendering is orders of magnitude slower. It is true 
that Cygwin's I/O and memory management are somewhat slower than under 
Linux, but that's peanuts compared to the OpenGL penalty.

If you want a fast program, you will have to use Window's native OpenGL 
implementation, which renders through hardware accelerators. That's what 
the OpenGL package for Cygwin provides.

Unfortunately, to use Window's native OpenGL implementation, you will have 
to rewrite completely such parts of your program as window management and 
user interface.

Last point (before you ask): the OpenGL implementation under X11 cannot be 
easily modified to use hardware acceleration, and I doubt it can be 
modified at all to do so. To know why, please search the archives for this 
list.

Hi there,
We are about to port Unix - Irix and Linux applications to Windows using 
Cygwin. However the Cygwin version is very slow compared to Linux, even I 
compiled with the optimize option -O2. It is a Windows 2000, the program 
is a segmentation editor using Qt, OpenGl and some image processing.
What is the reason? Is it OpenGL on cygwin, or both?
