This is by no means a cygwin-app discussion.  Read

Hopefully you are not referring to me.  I suggested that interested parties
could do a Knowledge Base or google search.  I guess  you don't qualify.

For the record, I called a comment of yours clueless.  I did not label
you personally.  You seem to be having fun doing that to yourself,
though, so I'm glad I offered you some enjoyment.

Re: gpg -c does NOT work

[Volker Quetschke]

Hi Karl,

i'm trying to use gpg in symmetric cipher mode.  when i encrypt
and then decrypt, i get the strange result that my file has SLIGHTLY
changed (an error every 32 bytes, or so.)

foo bar differ: char 39, line 1
Can you try:
$ gpg --output bar -d foo.gpg
I'd be interested if it's a gpg problem or a > problem.

Please also show us the output of:
$ mount
(i just had a thought: is this a result of LF/CR conversion?)
Pretty sure, because I tried your example and it works well
without problems. I only have binary mounts.

cygwin1.dll in /usr/sbin for inetd...

[Jason Fu]

Hi there,

I've come across a problem for long; i.e.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ inetd --install-as-service

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ net start "cygwin inetd"
The service is not responding to the control function.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.


[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ cp /bin/cygwin1.dll /usr/sbin/

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ net start "cygwin inetd"
The CYGWIN inetd service is starting.
The CYGWIN inetd service was started successfully.

Could anyone give me an idea such that I no longer need to keep 
/bin/cygwin1.dll as well as /usr/sbin/cygwin1.dll for /usr/sbin/inetd? It's 
always a problem whenever I have cygwin1.dll update since I need to manually 
make a copy of /bin/cygwin1.dll in /usr/sbin.


Thanks.

Jason

So, setup is giving you an access violation.  We need to at least know
- which version of setup that was
- what exact version of the operating system you're running
- at which point in the installation process did the exception happen
- which packages were you trying to install
- is there already Cygwin on the system, and
- do you have the setup.log and setup.log.full files?

With that extra information, we could begin to diagnose the problem and
try to offer possible solutions.

I saw on your web page that you just point to other web sites for the
sources.

To adhere to the GPL, it's not sufficient to point to the sources in
question on other web sites.  You must be able to provide the sources
in the same way as you provided the binaries. 

You must either pack the sources which you used to create the CD content
onto the CD itself, or you must provide them by another CD, or you might
upload the sources to your web site and link to these sources. 

This has been discussed on the Cygwin mailing list in length and it's
backed by the Red Hat lawyers.  So I ask you to upload the sources to
your site and provide them to potential users of your CD in one of the
above ways.

Other than that, I'm not keen to provide a pointer to potentially
outdated Cygwin and XFree86 versions on the cygwin.com homepage.  I'm
especially sure that nobody on the cygwin and cygwin-xfree mailing lists
will like the idea to support a foreign Cygwin installation.  So, please
mention on your site, that the Cygwin mailing lists will not be the
right forum to ask questions related to your installation.

I've Cc'd the cygwin and cygwin-xfree mailing lists to keep people informed.
Please send all further inquiries to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] ML.

Dave,

Yes, you're quite correct.  Cygcheck will only list the DLLs that the
program is statically linked to (that is, it's linked to the import
libraries).  If the program uses dlopen() or LoadLibrary() to load the
library (like rxvt does with libX11/libW11), cygcheck will not list that
library in the list of dependences.  A quick and dirty test for that would
be "strings program.exe | egrep -i 'dlopen|loadlibrary'".  Finding out
exactly which libraries are loaded with this mechanism won't be as easy
(because in some cases the DLL name may be constructed dynamically).
Strace might help with that somewhat, at least for dlopen() calls.

Re: how to become a package maintainer?

- how do i build DLLs? i could compile libao, libogg and libvorbis but i
only get *.la and *.a files but no *.dll like i would expect. i thought 
that this would be managed by autoconf/configure somehow, but it isn't 
as it seems.
Add -no-undefined to the libtool LDFLAGS.
I looked a little closer at the output of the build process, and i 
retried to compile libao.
I added foudna warning "undefiend symbols are not allowed ..." so i 
added "-no-undefined" to my LDFLAGS, but now i got the message

Re: Win2k and cygwin memory leak

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Seems like your saying that (using a car analogy) he should replace 
the carberator when the real problem is a leak in the fuel line. (IOW 
you're attacking the wrong area - your problem lies elsewhere).
Nope - gotta lower your expectations. I use to work in shop when I was 
in high school. Bascially I'd snip the line at the leak, get a piece 
of rubber hose and a couple of hose clamps. Back on the road in five 
minutes!!

- Oh but that's not SAFE ( you may counter )

( to which I would say ) - neither are crashing servers ...

Assuming of course we stick to your analogy and assume that I can't 
'replace' the fuel line because - well - it's "Ford's" problem .

You see, basic people (clueless) are very practical. Why put in a new 
engine when a piece of duct tape will do???
You refuse to see the obvious! While in my admittedly simple analogy yes 
you can duct tape it because it's right there and accessable. However in 
this case you do not have access to Microsoft's memory managing code!  
Sure you could re-write it but you'd also have to re-write just about  
all of the Windows OS. Sure this effectively new OS would not have the  
problem anymore. Perhaps you could call this OS something with a cutesy  
name like say LINUX!

Bottom line is Cygwin is nothing more than a very good collection of  
applications, key point here, EMULTATING a Posix like enviornment  
(another key point) ON TOP OF another OS. Cygwin != an OS and is bound  
and limited by the underlying OS. If you have a problem with the  
underlying OS then by all means - you are welcomed to fix it. But alas  
you do not have access to the source code. So what do you have to do?  
Maybe even the clueless can guess this YOU HAVE TO GO TO MICROSOFT!  
(Which is, after all, what we've been saying all along)

michael's openssh for windows

[jwaterbrook]

I'd prefer not to start a new thread, but I've been searching for the 
past few hours with no luck.

I needed a fast way to set up sftp on a winXP box, so I did a little 
google search and found lexa.mckenna.edu/sshwindows/ had a clean and 
easy way of doing this.
I changed the regestry setting "/home" to a different drive, and the 
passwd file's entry form :/home/USERNAME: to :/home: so when my "auts 
ex-uncle" wants to login to my sftp server, they can't browse my windows 
directory structure.

However, when my "aunts ex-uncle" realizes he can also ssh into the box, 
I don't want him running "windows" commands such as cmd, nbtstat, dir 
etc.  I just want to "limit" him to what is available in /bin I guess.

Am I going about this wrong?  Is there a cygwin/openssh implemenation 
that "stands alone" from windows so I could set up a sftp server much 
like a normal ftp server?

Thanks in advance,
Johnny

Add the above -no-undefined flag to Makefile.am (if automake is used).

This is the point where the fun begins;)

They use libtool, but Cygwin support works well only with libtool 1.5
or later.  So you need to reconfig this package.

Try 'autoreconf --install --force --verbose` at first.
However, often tweaks are needed to get it up and running.

Bug in lynx setup.hint? (was: Re: cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll)

cygcrypto probably needs other files as well.  As far as I know, it
should be selected automatically by setup.exe in the moment you choose
lynx.

The package you're missing is openssl.
However, I think you have triggered a bug, here the setup.hint from
lynx, there are obviously the correct dependencies, but AFAICT some
colons are missing:

category Web
requires cygwin terminfo libintl2 libiconv2 libncurses7 openssl
sdesc "Text-mode WWW Browser"
ldesc "Lynx is a terminal based WWW browser. While it does not make any attempt
at displaying graphics, it has good support for HTML text formatting,
forms, and tables.  This version includes support for SSL encryption."
curr: 2.8.4-5
test: 2.8.4-6
