problem starting cron as a service

[Bill McCormick]

I get this in the win app error log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source:   cron
Event Category: None
Event ID:   0
Date:   7/21/2003
Time:   2:14:08 AM
User:   BILLHOME\Administrator
Computer:   BILLHOME
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following
information is part of the event: cron : PID 2276 : starting service `cron'
failed: execv: 0, No error.

While trying to start the service as Administrator (or from LocalSytems
account). I rm'd /var/run/cron.pid and /var/log/cron.log before trying to
start.

Thanks

Re: Remounting /cygdrive/c as /c

[Gavin Sinclair]

> Hi.  I searched the archives, but did not find anything on this.

My preferred method of accessing C:/ as /c is the following

  mkdir /c
  mount C:/ /c

I didn't really know about changing the prefix, but I prefer not to rely
on things like that, anyway.

Note that without explicitly creating the directory, as above, Cygwin
won't list "c" in the output of "ls /".  Whether that's good or bad is up
to you.

Regards,
Gavin

I just installed the latest lynx - crash.

I'll update my CVS repo & try again. If I have time, I'll debug :)

RE: problem starting cron as a service

[Vince Hoffman]

anything in /var/log/cron.log ?

and are you mounts system or user ? 
ie.
$ mount |grep "/ type system"

should give something like

h:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)

Call dynamic pointer

[Lucien Mathieu]

Hello,

in a dll, I'm calling a 

extern "C" {
void * init();
}

where it is define as follow

void * init() {
return (new TObject());
}

it's doing a segment fault,
does the new pointer is automatically deleted?

I was thinking not to use the dlclose in the main program,
but it doesn't work either.

Any idea how to return a pointer from a DLL to a main program?

Thanks in advance,
Lucien.

RE: problem starting cron as a service

[Vince Hoffman]

Hi Bill,
Off hand there are a few things to try, but Mark Harig on the cygwin
list seems pretty up on cron, and has a script which will diagnose common
problems, heres a link to a message which has it attached,


You'll do better keeping messages on list as theres a whole lot more
experience out there than I have. One thing you could try is running cron
manualy from the command line as localsystem and seeing if you get any clues
in the output. (appologys if you have and i missed that message.)

Vince
ps. the output of cygcheck -s -v -r as an uncompressed attachment might help
too.

Re: Call dynamic pointer

Hello,

	in a dll, I'm calling a

it's doing a segment fault,
does the new pointer is automatically deleted?

I was thinking not to use the dlclose in the main program,
but it doesn't work either.
	Any idea how to return a pointer from a DLL to a main program?


Is this issue Cygwin specific?  If so, please provide details of the
problem if you'd like someone here to be able to help solve it.
Otherwise, you might want to make a similar inquiry to a Windows C++
development forum.  I'd suggest including sample code that reproduces
the problem too.

RE: problem starting cron as a service

[Bill McCormick]

Thanks,

One more clue: I can start cron from the command line just fine (no errors)
and am running other services including Apache, sshd and inetd. I like your
ideas though and I'll give them a try.

Thanks,

Bill

P.S. I did "reply all" on the last message, so it went to you and the list.

Re: Remounting /cygdrive/c as /c

[Larry Hall]

Just curious, why do you think this will be helpful?
I'd be interested in understanding your reasoning on this.
I can't see an obvious reason why this would be necessary
but I'm always interested in hearing other people's
experiences and solutions.
Thanks,

from an account with Administrator priviledges on Win XP, cygwin release

What am I missing?


What does the output of 'mount -m' say about '--change-cygdrive-prefix'?
BTW, the steps above work fine for me.

That's deep inside Windows.  Looks like a problem with requesting info

Re: Remounting /cygdrive/c as /c

[Rob]

Yeah, sorry for not putting in any detail.  The reason why I suggested this
is because I've had the same problem, and restarting solved it.  I can't say
for sure, but I'm guessing that the change doesn't take effect until the
cygwin dll gets loaded into memory.  On my system, I'm running cygwin
services like inetd, so the dll is always loaded and simply starting another
bash instance won't reload the dll anything.

Just a guess though

RE: problem starting cron as a service

[Vince Hoffman]

Opps thought from your previous message you already knew or i would have
said.
the easiest way is the "at" trick, from a command line,type 
"at \\yourcomputername 15:49 /interactive cmd.exe"
this will give you a cmd shell running as SYSTEM. from there cd to your
cygwin\bin directory and type "bash --login -i" which will give you a bash
shell running as SYSTEM.

Re: Crash in lynx

[Ronald Landheer-Cieslak]

Hi Corinna,

> That's deep inside Windows.  Looks like a problem with requesting info
> from DNS, apparently.

Yeah, but the weird thing is that this is not the error I get when I run 
it outside of the debugger.

i.e., a STC shows that there is no problem with the call in question 
(gethostname) *unless* run from withing gdb.

Here's the code:

-- BEGIN STC --
#include 

int main( void )
{
   char buffer[2000];

   gethostname( buffer, 2000 );
   printf( "host name: %s\n", buffer );

   return ( 0 );
}
--- END STC ---

When I save this as main.c and do a 

$ make main CFLAGS=-g
gcc -gmain.c   -o main
$ ./main
host name: w2k-rlandheer
$ gdb ./main
...
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/RLandheer/test/gethostname/main.exe 
warning: HEAP[main.exe]: 
warning: Heap block at 00252DC0 modified at 00252DAA past requested size 
of ffe2


Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x78477705 in ?? ()


This is regardless of whether I use canonical Cygwin 1.5.0 or current CVS 
Cygwin.The Lynx problem only occurs in current CVS Cygwin. (Hence, this is 
not the Lynx problem)

An oddity:
> warning: HEAP[main.exe]: 
> warning: Heap block at 00252DC0 modified at 00252DAA past requested size of ffe2

Anyways, this makes the Lynx problem very hard to debug, as I can't 
single-step through the code because that breaks the code..

Something interesting, though: gethostname is one of the auto-loaded 
functions which uses spiffy self-modifying assembler code. I have a 
feeling that might have something to do with this "can't step through 
code" problem, but that is just a WAG..

I'm going home, but if you have any ideas on how I can debug the Lynx 
problem without running into this SIGTRAP business I'm all ears. (i.e. 
I'll take a look tomorow during my coffee and/or lunchbreaks(s)

Thank you for the information. I suppose there is no workaround for this ? 
Like launching vim inside a bash script ?

Only Cygwin ones.  Running a Windows program from a Cygwin shell prompt
can cause output from the Windows program to get "lost" since they don't

problem you mentioned when run from a Cygwin shell prompt with 'tty' set.

The easiest "workaround" I can think of is to avoid the situation
wherever possible.  If you run Cygwin's vim, there's no problem.
The Cygwin distribution doesn't include gvim though, if that's what
you're looking for.  Another option is Egor's ttyfier program.

For the record, this is not the way things are supposed to work.  A cygdrive
change should be recognized instaneously by all cygwin processes.

I suspect that this particular problem was due to a user-mode cygdrive
mount taking precedence over the system mode.  cygcheck output would have
confirmed or denied that theory, of course.

cut and paste problem with xemacs Was Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Available for test: cygwin-1.5.0-1

[Antoine Levy-Lambert]

Hi Christopher, Corinna,

My xemacs is XEmacs 21.4.1.0 "Military Intelligence (Windows)" configured
for `i686-pc.cywin`

With cygwin 1.3, cut and paste between other applications and Xemacs works.
With cygwin 1.5.0-1, cut and paste between other applications and Xemacs
does not work

After having copied some text to the Windows buffer, trying to paste into
xemacs brings an error message in the status/command line of xemacs
: "kill ring is empty"

Let me know if you can fix this issue on the cygwin side, or if Xemacs needs
to be recompiled and relinked to interoperate with Windows in terms of cut
and paste.

RE : Call dynamic pointer

[Lucien Mathieu]

Hello again,

following this example:

TObject.hpp:

class Tobject {
...
};

extern "C" {
void * init();
}

TObject.cpp

void * init() {
return (new Tobject());
}

I create a DLL, g++ -c Tobject.cpp
g++ -shared -o Tobject.dll Tobject.o

When calling the init function after initialising everything
with
dlopen, dlsym, dlcose... It's generating a segmentation fault,
is
it due to the load and unload of the DLL? Even if I don't call
the
dlclose at the end, it's still doing the segmentation fault, is
there
a way of passing the pointer from the DLL to the main program
using
dlopen/dlsym stuff?

Let me know if I can't ask this kind of question to the list ;-P

Thanks in advance,
Lucien.

Cygwin version 1.3.20

[Henry Da Costa]

Hello Mr. Faylor,

I hope you can help me. I'm looking for a complete Cygwin version 1.3.20
set of packages but have so far been unable to find it. I need that
particular version of Cygwin because other versions including the latest
one give us an error when used from a development tool for which we
don't have the source. Do you know if that Cygwin version is archived
anywhere?

Thanks.

Re: RE : Call dynamic pointer

Sorry, this still isn't enough to see exactly what you're doing and
where the problem is.  If you can't make a simple case that can be
sent to the list so others can easily build and try your code to
reproduce the problem, then you're unlikely to see much help coming
from anyone on this list.  Also, as I mentioned in my previous response,
this really isn't a general C/C++ inquiry list.  It's a list to discuss
Cygwin.  If you find that your problem is relative to Cygwin's
implementation of dlopen and friends, this is the proper list to report/
discuss that.  If the problem is caused by some obscure compiler bug that
is specific to Cygwin, this is the right list.  If you're just not sure
how to get code like this working or you have some other non-Cygwin
specific issue, then a different forum is more appropriate.

The phrase "complete Cygwin version 1.3.20 set of packages" is meaningless.
A Cygwin DLL version number does not uniquely identify a set of packages.

RE: problem starting cron as a service

[Bill McCormick]

Oops ... my bad.

It's running; it's just not displayed as running as a service to windows.
ps -x -f shows the grand truth. That being the case, doesn't cron startup
really belong in rc.local? Umm ... does rc.local even get called on system
boot?

Thanks,

Bill

RE: problem starting cron as a service

[Bowden, Todd]

You have to install it as a service in order to see in from a Windows
perspective.

cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
Cygrunsrv -S cron

net start | grep -i cron

I see it in my Services.  Why wouldn't you see it in yours

The doc /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README tells you how to install it.

Oops ... my bad.

It's running; it's just not displayed as running as a service to windows. ps
-x -f shows the grand truth. That being the case, doesn't cron startup
really belong in rc.local? Umm ... does rc.local even get called on system
boot?

Thanks,

Thanks for the work-around, Chris.  I didn't understand from the
Cygwin User Guide that CYGWIN=tty wasn't required for rxvt.

However, I do think there is a problem here.  I am also having
problems getting copy/paste with Windows to work with my
locally-compiled copy of XEmacs, unless I start XEmacs from an rxvt
window.  The CYGWIN variable is unset now on my system, but even
setting it to tty doesn't change this behavior.  Interestingly, the
copy/paste works fine until I start a bash shell within XEmacs, then
everything stops working.  Unless I started XEmacs from rxvt.

Yes, I know that XEmacs is not a support Cygwin tool or even part of
the release.  And I do have a work-around.  But I'm mentioning it
because it is behavior apparent only with 1.5.0 and not with 1.3.22,
and the work-around proposed above doesn't fix the behavior.

I can live with starting XEmacs from rxvt as a work-around, but
perhaps others will encounter similar problems with other apps when
1.5.0 is officially released and more people update to it.

BTW, I haven't recompiled XEmacs against the latest experimental
anything, since as I understand it, I need to wait for all the
libraries XEmacs uses (including X) to be recompiled for 1.5.0.  Is
that correct?

I have cygwin checked out and built from CVS.  The behavior is
unchanged using the CVS dll (no surprise, I'm sure).  I am willing
to do some debugging and research here, but have no idea where to
start.  If someone can point me in a direction, I can do more
investigation.

RE: generate a .lib file for VC++

[Todorovic Vladica-VTODORO1]

As far as I know, there is no way to do the conversion you want/need. 

However, you can still use a dll generated by cygwin toolset by manully
loading the dll (i.e., use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress) in your VC++
code. 

You can find more info on this topic in the archives.

Do you knwo a way to transform a libfoo.dll.a in

Thanks for replying. I didn't realize that the "Christopher Faylor" link
at http://www.cygwin.com/ led to the cygwin mailing list. I should have
been more vigilant.

I realize that each package has its own versioning and is released
separately, but I was looking for a "snapshot" of the whole system at
the time when Cygwin DLL version 1.3.20 came out, because even after
installing just the files that are part of cygwin-1.3.20-1.tar.bz2, I'm
still having problems.

I'm experiencing the same problem with XEmacs 21.4.13, compiled
myself from CVS sources with X support enabled (using 1.3.22).

(See  for my post
about the problem.)

One work-around I've discovered is to start XEmacs from an rxvt
window instead of directly from bash.  That fixes the problem for
me.  I use the following shortcut for starting XEmacs:

  start /min c:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -T "start XEmacs" -e /bin/bash --login -i -c "DISPLAY= 
/usr/local/bin/xemacs &"

This causes a minimized rxvt window to be created, but it quickly
goes away once XEmacs starts starting.

HTH,
Dave

JPEG is already included in the Cygwin netrelease, why don't you use
it?

Have you compiled libexif yourself? You may want to try my version:

RE: problem starting cron as a service

[Bill McCormick]

Ok, I missed the -D param. Just going from the man pages, cron takes no
params. I also didn't find any info regarding running cron as a service in
the /usr/doc's. So, as always, it's the littlest things that bite.

Any idea regarding my previous post about ImageMagick?

thanks mucho,

Well, there's really not a lot we can help you with then. The Cygwin net release
is an ever-changing box of mean'ness. We only keep the mainline version, perhaps
a test version, and n previous versions. If it's not there, it's not available.

I will add this though: If you have a program that worked on 1.3.20* which does
not work on 1.3.22* it's more productive to try and find out the cause of the
problem rather than going back in time. If it turns out to be a problem in the
Cygwin DLL, matbe the royal we can fix it.

Unfortunately, we have only an executable. Of course we're trying to
solve the problem in other ways and will take whatever solution we get.

Subject: Corrupt characters in cygwin console (:310)

[phil]

Subject: Corrupt characters in cygwin console (:310)

I have recently installed cygwin on a Windows98 machine.
In the cygwin console (and also the bash.exe console), I
get corrupt characters after I type every 5 or so letters.
Usually something like \:310, or \316\310.

These seem to occur at a random frequency, independent of the
actual letters typed, and can be removed by backspacing a few
times.  Needless to say this makes it tiresome to type in 
commands!!

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks,

Phil Shepherd

Why do you only have the executable?  Also, why can't the provider of
this executable give you with the support you need?  Strictly
speaking, if the provider hasn't purchased a commercial license from
Red Hat, they are legally bound by the GPL.  If they aren't providing
source for all parts of the Cygwin distribution they're using, as well as
source for their executable, they are in violation of the GPL.  If this is
the case, this list would like to know about this violation so it can be
resolved.  Can you enlighten us on this aspect?

I'm trying to get what I need from the provider of that executable. The
executable only calls Cygwin executables, much like a perl or shell
script. It doesn't incorporate any Cygwin or Gnu code. Thanks for your
help.

Antoine,

I also don't understand why it works.  You shouldn't be surprised about
X, though, since rxvt is not (exclusively) an XWindows app and even if
it were, there is no requirement that only X apps can be run from other
X apps.

(BTW, since your XEmacs is not X-enabled, you can probably remove the
"DISPLAY= " bit from the shortcut.)

Obviously there is something different about processes spawned from a
console window (like CMD.EXE) versus those spawned from rxvt.  I have no
idea what it is...

Hey, I try to build perl from sources with the new 64bit Cygwin 1.5
prerelease.  All the code that is failing is the perl code from the
perl sources which is used to build Perl.

Unfortunately, the static miniperl compiled with Cygwin 1.5 fails.  It
seems that every 'my' is treated like a '#' and so it is not visible.

Um, no.

%module is a hash
$module{somekey} locates a value in the hash %module
$module is a separate scalar.

Try this:

use strict;
use warnings;

my %module = ('cygwin' => 'Cygwin');
my $module = 'Lunar';

print "hash el: " . $module{'cygwin'} . "\n";
print "scalar: " . $module . "\n";

I will admit might be confusing to use a scalar $module and a hash %module, but it is 
not an error.

when is it useful to attach strace outputs to the M/L

Hello,

Sometimes, when I post problems here, I attach the output of cygcheck and strace.  
Could anyone point out when it's relevant to
attach strace outputs here?  In the post 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01072.html the output of strace was not deemed 
to be
useful.

Thanks!

cygcheck output is always useful.

strace is one of those "If you don't understand if or why it is useful
then don't send it" situations.  Just wait to be asked for an strace.

Again, if you have to ask when or why it is relevant then you should not
be sending it without being asked to send it.

RE: ImageMagick

[Bill McCormick]

Thanks Gerrit,

I thought I had the jpeg lib from cygwin installed and that I needed
something more. Your note prompted me to check again and sure enough, I
didn't have it installed - DUH!! So after installing that - Imagemagick is
now ready to fly with jpeg.

I DL'd your lib's from your link (note that the files want to save as
*.tar.tar as opposed to *.tar.bz2,) renamed them and untarzip'd them into
place. I run Imagemagick configure again and it looks like things are still
broken there:

*snip*
EXIF  --with-exif=yes   no (failed tests)
*snip*

So now I'm trying to rebuild from your sources ...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]/usr/local/exif-0.6

*snip*

checking for libexif >= 0.5.9... gnome-config: not found
gnome-config: not found
Package libexif was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libexif.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libexif' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libexif >= 0.5.9) not met; consider
adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in
a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.



The same for gexif-0.5.

So off I go pouring over doc's and such (actually, now I need to work on
something else for a while and I don't need to chew camera tags at the
moment.) I'll get back to this before too long though.

I'll check the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env var - could that be the whole problem?.
I'm pretty sure I need to use the --enable-shared switch during configure
and I think that means I neither need nor want --enable-static; True? Is
there a specific build order I need to follow or maybe I've yet to install
some other prerequisite?

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Bill

GCC Errors - two versions released

[William J. Moulton]

Has anyone noticed that two versions of GCC were released with the latest
versions of cygwin?

I experienced many compile and makefile errors only to discover it was the
GCC compiler version.  And have watched problem after problem be reported to
the newsgroup about the compiler and makefile.  Version 2.95 is called by
adding -2 to the call for the compiler (eg. gcc-2 or g++-2, etc.)  Using
just GCC (or g++) calls version 3.x.  After making this change all my
compile and makefile problems disappeared.

Also wouldn't it make sense to release the most stable version as gcc and
the newer version as gcc2 of gcc-dev?  The everyone could avoid some
headaches.

Cygwin prevents normal Windows shutdown

[Richard Anderson]

When I start Cygwin 1.3.22-1 with the installed shortcut (which points to
C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat) and then try to shut down Windows XP using the normal
Start / Turn Off Computer procedure, Windows pops up the "End Program -
Cygwin ... Windows cannot end this program" dialog box.  The cygwin ps
command shows only a bash shell running.

Is there some way to prevent this behavior?

GCC: Split it ?

[Frédéric L. W. Meunier]

The GCC 3.2-3 package is almost 3 times the size of the

it in various packages, like one for C and C++, and others for
the remaining (and less used) languages ?

Just a suggestion.

RE: ImageMagick

[Billinghurst, David (CRTS)]

ImageMagick-5.5.3 builds out of the box for me with shared libraries, and I have
been using it for months without problem.

I did re-autotool it before I built, but I am not sure if that is required  

  libtoolize --copy --force && \
  aclocal && \
  automake && \
  autoconf

I then configured with 

  ${srcdir}/configure  \
  --srcdir=${srcdir} --prefix=${prefix} \
  --exec-prefix=${prefix} --sysconfdir=${sysconfdir} \
  --libdir=${prefix}/lib --includedir=${prefix}/include \
  --libexecdir='${sbindir}' --localstatedir=/var \
  --datadir='${prefix}/share'  \
  --enable-shared --disable-static \
  --disable-largefile --without-frozenpaths \
  --with-magick-plus-plus --without-perl -without-wmf

 o perl works, but I was going to put together a cygwin distribution

Thread.start()

[P.B. Dushkin]

Greetings. I hope this is the appropriate way to correspond with the list.

I have been building an rmi client/server program using cygwin.
my development environment is the jdk1.3.1 08. The GNU bash is version
2.05b.0(9)-release (i686-pc-cygwin). My problem is when
I try to start the rmiregistry. When I type "rmiregistry &" I get:

java.rmi.RemoteException: failed to export: class gnu.java.rmi.dgc.DGCImpl
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Thread.start called
but threads are not available.

I have read through the list and it seems that this is a common problem
with gcc but I am using the JDK under Cygwin (and ontop of XP).

Any help at this point would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Peter
