RE: "Using Cygwin Effectively with Windows" -- Draft of new User's Guide section

[Peter Ring]

I'd suggest adding a warning about potential name clashes between common
Windows and GNU utilities, e.g. 'sort' and 'find'.

I've yet to find a completely safe and general way to avoid picking up
/WINNT/system32/sort.exe rather than /usr/bin/sort, short of always
asserting than /usr/bin is before /WINNT/system32/ (or wherever sort.exe
would be) before invoking sort.

Even though you'd never ever need the DOS legacy sort.exe or find.exe, you
can't just remove /WINNT/system32/sort.exe; on Win2K and WinXP; it will be
resurrected within seconds by the system. So I've acquired a habit of 

  chmod -x /WINNT/system32/find.exe
  chmod -x /WINNT/system32/sort.exe

kind regards
Peter Ring

I've thrown together a prospective "Using Cygwin Effectively with
Windows" 
section for the User's Guide. 

If you'd like to look at it as a web page:


I'm going to be leaving this broadband connection in under 48 hours, so
I'll probably put this into CVS tomorrow (with any corrections) 
unless there is a horrendous outcry against it. Then I'll be in and 
out of contact for probably a(nother) couple of weeks while I move. 

Some things:
--Q: Does anyone know of a page that lists command line configuration
utilities included with Windows 95/98/ME vs. Windows NT4/2000/XP?

--FYI: There are links to outside sites like download.com, Hummingbird's
free-beer SOCKS proxy, etc.

--Documentation of printing is sparse since I don't really do it much.
Does anyone have extensive documentation of their complex setup?

--There's basically nothing on Java except a sample about translating
the CLASSPATH to DOS format. I'm not sure what else to put in. There are
no Cygwin-native java compilers, right? 

Thanks.

There is also gcj included in the latest GCC package which seems to

There is a native Windows version of tcpdump available, see tcpdump

I don't know.  However, it requires libpcap and I think that this library
is not ported (it is same problem with tcpdump which also requires
libpcap).

Developing with cygwin: library troubles

[Mischa]

Hi

I want to develop a windows program that reads the GUID from a MSI package
with C. It was no problem to create an exe-file with gcc that runs on
non-cygwin platforms (with -mno-cygwin). My problem is the following:
I need several functions from the Msi.lib (included in Windows Installer
SDK). I've created a libMsi.a with dlltool and moved it to /lib/w32api/ and
linked my .o with -lmsi. Compiling and linking worked fine, but if i try to
run the exe, it want to load a Msi.lib as a Dynamic  Link Library.
I've tried to create a DLL from the Msi.lib but then an error appears that
the Function [EMAIL PROTECTED] could not be found.

I don't see the problem, perhaps it is the convert process from the Msi.lib
to the libmsi.a? Or is it impossible to use some function from a .lib-file?

Please help me, i'm desperate! :-)

Thanks

Mischa

RFC: Allowing cygwin setup to patch up old versions

[chris]

Hello,

I am sorry if this covers things already discussed on this list or some 
other list (I suspect it might), but a quick search through the archives 
failed to provide anything.

I tend (like I suspect many other people) to update my cygwin every 
couple of weeks. As cygwin by default keeps packages it downloads it 
would make sense to distribute patches to existing files.

As a tiny example:

emacs-21.2-11.tar.bzip2 : 8MB
emacs-21.2-12.tar.bzip2 : 8MB
patch: 177K
emacs-21.2-11-src.tar.bzip2 : 19MB
emacs-21.2-12-src.tar.bzip2 : 19MB
patch : 3K (!)
My plan (at the moment) for how the patches will work is as follows:
Each file: /dir1/dir2/file.tar.bz2
can have a patch def file, called /dir1/dir2/file.tar.bz2.patchlist
This will include a list of files there are patches from (with md5) and 
a list of all the patches that exist, and their size.

A simple algorithm will then take this list, a list of all copies of the 
package that are currently on the computer, and the package we want to 
reach, and see what the cheapest patching route is to get there (for 
those interested, this would be done by a simple application of 
dykstra's algorithm)

If this is cheaper than downloading the whole package, then one or more 
patch files are downloaded and then applied to get the new package.

Exactly where to store patches I haven't decided yet.

Patches will be a "privalige", not a "right". If it turns out that some 
large package has such a large update (or for example the optimisation 
level is changed on the binary package) that the patch is too large, 
then there will simply not be a patch.

As I would like to try to do something useful for the cygwin project, I 
am currently working on a proof-of-principle patcher that seems to be 
working well.

I would like to try to pull this into the main cygwin setup tree, and 
was wondering if there is any kind of document that specifies exactly 
how files will be set out on both the computer and the server, of if I 
should just parse the code and see where it says files live? :)

Any comments (even "Someone is already working on that" or "Go away and 
stop bothering us") much appresiated! :)

Chris

Ok, a few thoughts:
1) You'll want to decorate the download logic to have the patching occur
seamlessly.
2) It's a nice concept, but you'll also want to generate the patch files
automatically, so that maintainers don't need to think about this. A
perl fragment is probably what Chris needs to integrate into the web
server update scripts, but this is probably the last piece of the
puzzle.
3) As to file locations: put the patches in the same dir as the files.
Extend setup.ini (and the lexer/parser in inilex.l and iniparse.y, + the
IniBuilder interface) to recognize your patch metadata... as part of the
packageversion information. Do NOT put the patch metadata in a separate
file - that would extend the cost to calculate what needs downloading
hugely. I suggest that you store the patch in the packageversion object
it patches to, allowing trivial reverse iteration to calculate the
shortest path (as we know it's a DAG, we can cheat).

Lastly, follow the contributor Guidelines I've posted links to recently,
and be sure to submit patches against HEAD.

If you'd like a CVS branch to work on, that can be arranged.

Cheers,
Rob

ncurses libraries

[giuseppe catania]

Hi,
I recently upgraded to full newer cygwin version via network setup 
installation, but cannot find libncurses.a.  I followed the 2 step 
installation instructions found in FAQ, i.e. first installed ncurses and 
then terminfo and libncurses5,6.
I only found dlls such as cygncurses5(6,7).dll in /bin path, but do not 
know how to link them.  My makefile has -lcurses actually.  Do I have to 
change it ?  How can I make routines such as initscr, stdscr, etc. be 
linked in my programs ?
Thanks a  lot.

I can't remember exactly what version the behaviour changed but, Cygwin
went to 
ntsec off by default (your NTFS bliss) to ntsec on by default. So,
adding 
'nontsec' to your CYGWIN environment variable should fix that for you.

True, but people complained that it doesn't work, and doesn't provide a
full java implementation.  Besides, gcj is arguably mostly a java
run-time (albeit with a static compiler).  jikes is a source-to-bytecode
compiler, a replacement for javac.

This sounds like a very useful thing to do.
Question: What format are the patches? Some kind of binary format, I assume,
since they will need to be able to reconstruct the archives exactly, so the
MD5 checks can pass.

The patch system I am currently using is my personal conversion of the 
bsdiff package from *BSD. I was intending to submit a cygwinized 
version, but have decided that to be honest the program is not of the 
highest quality, so think a re-write of the program would be useful 
before releasing it on innocent people :) Howev bsdiff does create some 
very small patches, and is specially designed to cope with binaries, and 
the kind of differences you get in binaries, better than normal diff 
(mainly things in a different order, and lots of things shifted in value 
by a similar amount) ( http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/ if anyone 
wants to see)

The other major thing is that what I diff is (obviously) the .tar files, 
not the .tar.bz2 files, as even a small change to a file usually totally 
changes a compressed version of it. The only problem I can see this 
causing is that the bzip2 files must be compressed in exactly the same 
way. However I expect that everyone will compress their .bzip2s with the 
default, and best setting. If it turns out these files drift then I may 
be forced to MD5 the .tar files. I would like to keep the changes 
required as small as possible tho.

Did you set cygwin environment var, or windows variable?
You need to go to "My computer/Properties", "Advanced" tab and set
environment variable there, then re-run cygwin.

Indeed.  Forgive me but I have no experience with the MSI toolkit.  Are
you suggesting that msi.lib that's provided with the toolkit is a static
library rather than an import library?  If so, you don't want to use
dlltool at all.  You should be able to just link against msi.lib if it's
a static library (actually you should be able to do this regardless).  If
msi.lib is an import library, then you must have given dlltool some wrong
information if it's trying to load it as the DLL.  There must be msi.dll
(or whatever DLL the import library has stubs for) somewhere.  That's
what you need to tell dlltool to use.  Still, that's likely to be allot
of work for nothing.  You should try just linking against msi.lib (or
even the DLL directly).

That's alright, I didn't just miss this one, but the whole updated

the future. Hannu telling me to check the man page clued me in. It
had all the information I really needed.

Here's the update:

There are several options for printing from Cygwin, including the
lpr found in cygutils (not to be confused with the native Windows
lpr.exe). The easiest way to use cygutils' lpr is to specify a default
device name in the PRINTER environment variable. You may also specify
a device on the command line with the -d or -P options, which will
override the environment variable setting. A device name may be a UNC
path (\\server_name\printer_name), a reserved DOS device name (prn,
lpt1), or a local port name that is mapped to a printer share. Note that
forward slashes may be used in a UNC path (//server_name/printer_name),
which is helpful when using lpr from a shell that uses the backslash as
an escape character. No formatting is done; data is sent raw. If your
printer supports PostScript, packages such as a2ps and enscript can
prepare text files for printing. The ghostscript package also provides
some translation from PostScript to various native printer languages
(a native Windows application for printing PostScript, gsprint, is
available from the GhostScript website).

OK. This make sense now. Also I read about Lisbeth's issues with shell
scripts. I believe this is one reason recommended best practice is to
specify the full path to binaries in scripts (/usr/bin/sort). I added
a sentence to the end of the introduction:

--BEGIN
A few Windows tools, such as find.exe and sort.exe, can conflict with the 
Cygwin versions; make sure that you use the full path (/usr/bin/find) or 
that your Cygwin bin directory comes first in your PATH.

That's usually the best solution.  Either that or break the computer
down to component parts, wash them thoroughly and then reassemble.
Note that this will probably require a soldering iron and cold chisel
for maximum effectiveness.

Problems with man

[Kaufman, Duane (MED, LUNAR)]

Hi 

I recently installed Cygwin on my desktop machine (Win2k 5.00.2195
Service Pack 2), and I am having trouble with getting man pages. Here is
some output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ man man

This looks like a permission problem but there's nothing obviously wrong
from your setup log or cygwcheck output.  Can you invoke any of these
directly from bash without problems?  What do the ownerships look like
on these files?  What does 'getfacl' say for these files?

Maybe add somthing like:
  Once again, having "CYGWIN=tty" isn't meaningful when running rxvt.
here at the end - just to emphasize it.

 There might be a better wording for it. I strongly believe that it is
better
to have a _slight_ redundancy in text like this.


Oh... The paragraph about .lnk-files (included below for ref.):
The sentences "feels" long and winding with many commas (,) - this usually
tends to make it harder to read and understand.

NOTE: I'm not saying they actually are - the "feel" is essential here.
I'm not that clear over where my disappointment is, just got a feel about it
;-)

Might be better to try to split the long and winding things into shorter
versions.
Might be just enough to split the paragraph into _several, smaller_
paragraphs
- with a bright and clear "paragraph headline" on top of all of them.
 I'm not saying this is easy, but might be worth the effort to try.

Expected result of rephrasing: Less questions from users.

 I'm not here to tell you what to write - just to give you the impression I
got while reading the text. In hope that this helps create good wording.

 Have you had a look at "man lpr" ?  //computer/printer, and LPTn:
is stated to be supported. Success may vary as it seems - I currently
have a setup where LPT1: does strange things. Can't tell whether it
is cygwin, my (old and slow) computer - or a combination.

 Someone else pointed out that there are printers that _do_ accept
pure text file contents.
 e.g. I do know for sure that old matrix printers this by default. IIRC this
also applies to "PCL" printers (e.g. HP Laserjet 4L).

I have one that doesn't fit into that category though (old HP Deskjet 720C)
and my experience is that one should expect PS-printers to be the same.

 It is a fully functional email-address, BUT expect it to change without
notice!
I will change it as soon as I feel that the spam amount is too large. I use
it
for some mailing lists and for filling in "unavoidable" forms on the web.
 It has been in use some time and just recently begun to be subject for
spam.
So far just some, but it might not be long before harmageddon.

 As to setting reply-to... As I use it for several other things it might not
be a good idea. Though I have not checked upon it, I do expect MS Outlook to
NOT be able to differentiate behaviour based on what the "To:" field
contains.
(Maybe some "Macro" stuff could be used for this... :-7)

FYI wrt SPAM: This is a pdf from some "Center for democracy & Technology" -
I do not
know who or what they are, but it seems (from a glance) to be a sensible

Oddly enough, I can invoke the entire 'System command' from above in
bash, and it works...but even /bin/cat doesn't work from sh.

I agree.  You could even add that it would just add CPU processing
overhead to rxvt for no gain.

That would imply that your /bin/sh.exe was suspect.

And how does one go about fixing something that _appears_ correct? BTW,

 IIRC the default "sh" is the same as "ash" which in turn is a very
_cutdown_ build. It is included just for "install script" stuff.

 Please, do correct me if I'm wrong!

I'd reccommend using /bin/bash based on these facts. Unless you plan to go
and recompile "sh" or "ash" yourself.

 Might this be about not running bash, but something else?

Yep, and the errors occur down in the innards of the 'man' command. I
(perhaps naively) assumed 'man' was using sh for its internal affairs,
because running those same commands in bash, work.

Even if I use bash for the 'man' command, 'man' seems to want to use sh,
which isn't working correctly.

To me, this implies that you are not running the /bin/sh that you think
you're running.  Do you have more than one copy of sh.exe on your
system?

Have you tried:

c:\>
c:\>d:\cygwin\bin\sh
$ /bin/cat /etc/passwd

?

You weren't naive in assuming this.  There are a lot of scripts out
there which begin with /bin/sh.  They are obviously supposed to work
within the limits of bourne shell (v1?) syntax.  ash hasn't been
stripped down so much that it doesn't understand cygwin paths.

OK. This make sense now. Also I read about Lisbeth's issues with shell
scripts. I believe this is one reason recommended best practice is to
specify the full path to binaries in scripts (/usr/bin/sort). I added a
sentence to the end of the introduction:

--BEGIN
A few Windows tools, such as find.exe and sort.exe, can conflict with
the 
Cygwin versions; make sure that you use the full path (/usr/bin/find) or

that your Cygwin bin directory comes first in your PATH.

using a dll created by cygwin in msvc++

[Jérôme DESPATIS]

i've created a .dll with cygwin

i'd like now to create a simple program under msvc++
that use functions of this dll

when i compile my very simple program, i get those
errors at link step: unresolved external symbol _foo
where foo is a function of my dll

so how can i use this dll in my program ? maybe a
foo.lib is missing (is there a way to create it from a
dll ?), or maybe is there another way to do so ?

Sorry, but customizing bash is already discussed here:



This new section is about Windows, not bash. It is true that using
bash --login helped solve your original problem, but there are equally
good solutions that do not require customizing bash that I mention
(like using bash -c '/bin/sort'). I don't see how a discussion about 
using --login and changing the PATH in .profile pertains to this
since it is alrady mentioned elsewhere.
If you disagree, please provide a sample paragraph that makes the 
connection clear and I'd be happy to take a look at it.

You need an import library to link against, yes.  See
 for instructions
on building DLLs and import libraries with Cygwin.  Keep in
mind that if you're using cygwin1.dll in your resulting DLL
(i.e. you're not using the '-mno-cygwin' flag for gcc) then
you may end up with 2 C runtimes in your final executable.
See the FAQ and 
for some information on this.  There's plenty more in the email
archives too if you're interested.

ncurses and terminal definitions

[Terry Dabbs]

I've been using gcc to compile some simple applications for NT win98 and
win95 for automating machinery. I have a problem on one screen where you
can't read the command.com screen (windows98) clearly, so I loaded
ncurses, redid the application so it the text is very bright and
colorful even on the poor screen. Very nice.
The problem is, I was up to now only needing to place the cygwin1.dll on
each machine I put a program on, and that's all, with the exception of
the executable and miscellaneous setup files. I thought I would only
have to place the cygncurses7.dll on the machines as well.
I moved the executable and placed cygncurses7.dll on a machine, tried
it, and got "Error opening terminal: cygwin". I read references to this
in the mailing lists, which say do an "install" on each machine with
multiple packages using setup.
For a number of reasons I wish to avoid this, the least of which is they
are not on the net.
What is the least amount of files I need, and where should I put them
for ncurses to identify the terminal on the machines I need to put my
executable? Can you help?

Thanks

Terry Dabbs

release; upgrade now.  The libguile DLL has a new name; the main
purpose of this release is to prepare for cygwin-1.5.

It's just looking for the 'cygwin' terminal database.  You can find that

Re: ncurses and terminal definitions

[Terry Dabbs]

Larry,

I just copied the path so the file is c:\usr\share\terminfo\c\cygwin directly
from the machine I compile with. This does work, and cygwin, yet again, has
made my little project happier. I do note that the laptop running win98 I
tried this on took a good 20 seconds to give up the terminal to the program.
Is this just because the lap top is slow (it is...) or is win98 simply that
poor compared to NT in performance. The delay on NT, if any, is not
perceptable

Thanks,

Terry Dabbs

postgresql, cygwin newbie, issues

[Michael Teter]

Howdy.

I and to run PostgreSQL on Cygwin.  I've found a few differing "guides" of how
to do this, but I'm unable to get any to fit my situation.

I have CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with "all" packages downloaded and installed.  I'm
running XP Pro SP1.  Guides I've found for Postgres+Cygwin tell of running
ipc-daemon, then starting postgres.

I found ipc-daemon2 in the cygipc package (which had to be specifically
selected in cygwin setup, despite my having specified during install that I
wanted everything.

THE PROBLEM: when I run ipc-daemon2, I get a windows error dialog that states:
Title: ipc-daemon2.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Body: The procedure entry point __getreent could not be located in the dynamic
link library cygwin1.dll.

Suggestions?

Incidentally, I find it odd that Postgres is included in Cygwin when it can't
be used, or not without seeking out external packages.

Thanks for any help or pointers to information.

Michael

Re: ncurses and terminal definitions

[Larry Hall]

Hi Terry,

Don't know exactly what accounts for the performance drain you see with
98.  Like you say, could be just a slow machine.  You'd have to debug it
to know for sure.
One point.  /usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin == c:\usr\share\terminfo\c\cygwin
only if the Cygwin root mount point (/) == c:\.  As you can see, you get
this for free if your current drive is c: but that's not guaranteed.  You
may want to add one step and one binary to your installation procedure.
That is, after plopping the files down where you want them, invoke the
following:
  mount -s c:/ /

This will require privileges to write to the system hive of the registry.
If you don't have this right or can't get it, you can omit the '-s' flag,
but the mount will only be available for the current user.  You will need
to repeat the command (minus the '-s') for all the users that need your
application on that machine.  You don't need to leave 'mount' on the
machine after installation.
Larry

Larry - mount defaults to "-s" these days.  If you want user-mode mounts,
you need to use "-u".

Re: using a dll created by cygwin in msvc++

[Jérôme DESPATIS]

Re

So you say Larry that i need an import library
(foo.lib) to link against in msvc++.
I think so also.

My problem is now to create this .lib.
Indeed, in the bottom of the link
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html, it's
explained to create a .def file and .a file, but not a
.lib file that i need in msvc++

In fact i don't need a Cygwin-compatible import
library but a MSVC++ -compatible import library,
because i want to compile my prog with msvc++

(if you ask me why, the simple program is in fact a qt
program, and trolltech proposes only compilation with
borland C++ and msvc++ which both use .lib import
library)

maybe there's some docs in the mailing liste archive,
but i have great great difficulties with the search
engine http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/

i search for dll + link and i get weird results, maybe
you have some link or good keywords to reach important
results ?

Thanks

You're mixing stuff up.  You've installed cygipc version 2, which is
built for the test release of the upcoming Cygwin 1.5 DLL.  But postgresql
isn't built against this yet.  You should run setup again, leave the
'Curr' button selected, and let it install whatever it thinks it needs
to.  That will give you consistent binaries for Cygwin 1.3.22.  Then
read .  This
contains pointers to all the information you need to know to install and
configure PostgreSQL.

mount -s c:/ /

This will require privileges to write to the system hive of the registry.
If you don't have this right or can't get it, you can omit the '-s' flag,
but the mount will only be available for the current user.  You will need
to repeat the command (minus the '-s') for all the users that need your
application on that machine.  You don't need to leave 'mount' on the
machine after installation.


Larry - mount defaults to "-s" these days.  If you want user-mode mounts,
you need to use "-u".


Heh.  Right.  Sorry about that.

Holy Cow! Good eye, though I don't know how _that_ happened?? When does
this entry get created? Did I have something funky in my Windows Env
Variables? Changing them in Windows doesn't change them _everywhere_ in
Cygwin, eh?

Unfortunately, maybe it helped for something else, but my man problems
still remain:

Actually, I don't mind good questions that help improve things.

The updated sectioned webpage is now up, just in time for the new month.
It will be at least a couple of weeks before I can get the single HTML file

Re: Re: how to make cygwin run under shells other than bash

[Damien Suttle]

So I changed the shell invocation line in cygwin.bat from:

bash --login -i

to this:

tcsh -i -

Then, i get the following output:
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.

vesperus / %

so it starts tcsh at the end, finally, but i'm in the root dir instead of my home dir 
(the way bash does) and i am unable to use many standard commands (e.g., ls, pwd).

Does anyone know what files I need to change, where they are, and what to change them 
to?

Or just right click on the cywgin icon's properties and change the shell
it runs, if you want to hack.  Or change the shell for your account, in
/etc/passwd I think.

In fact i don't need a Cygwin-compatible import

Hey! I just noticed that the single HTML file and pdf aren't up-to-date.

So, I downloaded the cygwin-doc package and *that* wasn't up to date!!!

It seems to me like project documentation should be up to date!

Could someone please correct this

Ok, something else to try.  From sh, try:

$ /cygdrive/d/cygwin/bin/cat /etc/passwd

Does either command work?

Nope.  /etc/passwd is generated by mkpasswd which is invoked as a
postinstall script when you run setup.  I can't fathom how it came
up with way you have though.

Re: ncurses and terminal definitions

Thanks for the help. Since your advice kept me from having to "install" cygwin

Actually, no.  I guess I wasn't clear.  Whether the file is found or not
depends on the current drive.  If the user's current drive is C: and you've
installed the file on the C drive, then the path will work.  Otherwise,
it will complain that the file isn't found.  If you want to avoid this,
you need to create the mount point I suggested or otherwise wrap your
application to make sure that C: is always the current drive when it
runs.

Administrator lacking super-user privileges on cygwin installation

[Myk Melez]

I have two machines with what look like identical cygwin installations 
on them, but the Administrator account on one of them doesn't have 
super-user privileges.  This causes sshd not to have access to 
/home/some-user/.ssh (which is restricted to only "some-user") and thus 
prevents key-based authentication.  Regular password-based 
authentication works, so the problem isn't sshd itself.  Logging in as 
the Administrator and doing "ls /home/some-user/.ssh/*" gives me a 
"permission denied" error, which also confirms that the problem is with 
the permissions of the Administrator account and not sshd.

The Administrator NT accounts (and Administrators NT groups) seem 
identical on the two machines, as are permissions for the C:\cygwin 
directory.  Both systems had old cygwin installations on them that we 
blew away before installing the latest.  What am I missing?

'setup.exe' under Win2K Terminal Server in AS mode

[msg]

Greetings:

I've been running 1.3.22 for some months now on a Win2K Server running
Terminal Services in Application Server mode for a variety of
development
projects and am pleased overall; however the entire installation was
done manually for the most part due to a vast number of failures
of the 'setup.exe' process compounded by slow dial-up access to the
'net.  I won't elaborate on these issues in this message nor post
a 'cygcheck' output at this time; my intent here is to inquire whether
the maintainers have considered the implications of the install process
on a Win2K Server running TS in AS mode.  Apps should be installed
using 'Control Panel' to permit proper registry and user profile mapping
mechanisms to work, and apps should be TS aware in order to
avoid a variety of problems during install and multiuser use. I believe
'setup.exe' should be TS aware to avoid a variety of problems or at
least the cygwin FAQ and homepage should include some caveats (at the
least to avoid running 'setup.exe' from the web links).

Sounds like PATH doesn't include the path to Cygwin?!  If you send me
your cygwin.bat file, and tell me the shortcut properties used to run
it from the desktop, I'm happy to have a look and see what's going on.

Question regarding problem during uninstall using setup.exe

[Alan Miles]

All,

I tried to send this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], since as I
understand from the web-site setup.exe issues go there, but my message got
bounced. Hence I am sending it here.

Keep up the excellent work on cygwin. Can't wait for 1.5.* to come out.

Using the latest setup and installation of cygwin I have a problem when I
use setup.exe to un-install cygwin, so I can get a ** completely ** fresh
install.
I periodically like to uninstall cygwin and re-install to remove any cruft
etc. Also this helps with maintenance of my computer, as I can always
re-install later. That way I don't have to use so many backup CD's.

To get around my ** own ** customizations, I have built my own install
packages that integrate into the setup.exe. To do this integration, I use
the "generic" build script template, setup.hints + upset to construct my
setup.ini. This works great. However, when I de-install setup.exe seems to
remove several directories that are ** NOT ** in the cygwin directory

Output of my mount:

Setup.exe seems to remove

H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\build and
H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\dest

(which I use but were empty at the time). Interestingly, it does ** NOT **
remove

H:\CygnusSolutions-Cygwin Files\CygwinMachine_Package_Dirs\src which is NOT
empty.

Subsequent re-installation causes problems with the mount command, until I
unmount, manually re-create these directories, and remount.

For example, a fragment of info from my setup.log.full file (related to the
installation):

Re: Administrator lacking super-user privileges on cygwin installation

[Larry Hall]

I have two machines with what look like identical cygwin installations

super-user privileges.  This causes sshd not to have access to 
/home/some-user/.ssh (which is restricted to only "some-user") and thus 
prevents key-based authentication.  Regular password-based 
authentication works, so the problem isn't sshd itself.  Logging in as 
the Administrator and doing "ls /home/some-user/.ssh/*" gives me a 
"permission denied" error, which also confirms that the problem is with 
the permissions of the Administrator account and not sshd.

The Administrator NT accounts (and Administrators NT groups) seem 
identical on the two machines, as are permissions for the C:\cygwin 
directory.  Both systems had old cygwin installations on them that we 
blew away before installing the latest.  What am I missing?


1. SYSTEM is the account that sshd runs as, not administrator.  It's
   the only default account that has permissions to switch user contexts
   without authenticating the new user through Windows password mechanism
   (for NT/W2K/XP).
2. Only the owner of the private key files in .ssh should have permissions
   to access these files.  Public key files should be readable by anyone.
   You'll want to check the permissions on these files relative to the
   above.
3. Generally, you should read .

'setup.exe' should be TS aware to avoid a variety of problems or at

Thanks for the feedback.  Cygwin is a volunteer-run project.  If you're

Judging by the above, it is a permission problem.  For some reason, your
/usr/bin does not have the correct flags.  bash, which uses a different
mechanism for locating executables, doesn't notice this, but sh gets
confused.  Try "chmod 755 /usr/bin/*".  Also, the group name indicates
that your /etc/group file is not up to date (by showing the command you
need to run, i.e., "mkgroup -l" and "mkgroup -d").

Re: Administrator lacking super-user privileges on cygwin installation

[Mark Priest]

Myk,

I assume you are using Openssh?  If you installed Openssh as a Windows
service then SYSTEM is the owner of the files, otherwise the owner is
whatever user did the installation.  This is, of course, assuming that you
used the ssh-host-config script in /bin.  However, I have installed it both
ways and I have not received the error you are describing.  You might want
to check the value of the CYGWIN environment variable.  By default ntsec is
turned on but if that variable includes "nontsec" or "ntea" then that might
be what is causing your problem.

loading DLLs created with Cygwin into Sun JDK

[Marcus G. Daniels]

I'm having a problem getting DLLs compiled with Cygwin to load into Sun 
JDK 1.4.1.  In the past this has worked, so I hope this is fixable 
without too much work.

Here's an example.  Take a simple Java Native Interface method like this:

$ cat jniTest.c
void Java_Test_test () { printf ("test\n");}
And compile it like so:

gcc -shared -o jniTest.dll jniTest.c

Also needed is the Java-side file:

public class Test {
  public native void test ();
  public static void main (String args[]) {
Test test = new Test ();
System.out.println ("loading jniTest");
System.loadLibrary ("jniTest");
System.out.println ("calling native method");
test.test ();
System.out.println ("success");
  }
}
Compiled it like so from a Cygwin terminal (replace 
/cygdrive/i/j2sdk1.4.1_02 as appropriate):

$ /cygdrive/i/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/javac Test.java

Now run it, you should see it print "loading jniTest", but nothing more.

$ CLASSPATH=. /cygdrive/i/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/java Test

In contrast, relink the DLL, but not using "-mno-cygwin":

$ gcc -mno-cygwin -shared -o jniTest.dll jniTest.c
$ CLASSPATH=. /cygdrive/i/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/java Test
Now it should print:

loading jniTest
calling native method
test
success

I don't know who you are or why you've taken this upon yourself but

Using usernames and permissions from Windows domain accounts

[Hugo Bouckaert]

Hi 

How can you set up cygwin so that Windows domain usernames are being
used, rather than what I have now, which is, at the cygwin prompt:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Note that people are logging into the machine as a domain user, but as
that domain user they are administrator on their local machine. This is
(I think) why cygwin puts [EMAIL PROTECTED]> at the prompt. However,
I would like people to have a cygwin prompt which recognises their
Windows domain username as well as the permissions, so that if they go
into a directory with cygwin (for example a mapped Z drive), the windows
permissions are taken into account when commands are given at the cygwin
prompt. 

How can this be done? 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Re: vnc under cygwin

I want to install vnc under cygwin.
I found a message posted on 03/23/03, but I would like to know if there are
any new developments or if there is a URL where I can get more guidance.
Thank you all.
Usually, it's considered polite to post a link to the message you refer
to.  I'm going to wager you meant this one:


However, if this is the message to which you refer, I'm confused as to
why you didn't at least email cygwin-xfree list instead.  Seems more
appropriate to me.
Personally, I think the message as the URL above says it all, with
the exception that cygipc is now available as a package in the Cygwin
distribution.  So that's your answer.  If you disagree, I recommend
you follow-up on the cygwin-xfree list.  I've reset the reply-to to
facilitate that.
