[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: wtf-0.0.3-1

[Igor Pechtchanski]

wtf(6) is a utility provided by some UNIX and UNIX-like systems including
Slackware Linux and NetBSD.  It translates acronyms and filename suffixes
by looking up the definition of a term in various databases.

I've added the OLOCA () to the database
directory, so the acronyms from the Cygwin lists will be found (yes, you
can now really ask "wtf is cgf" ;-) ).  There's a perl script in the
source package to update the OLOCA database from the web version of the
OLOCA for those who can't wait for regular package updates (also requires
wget).  See the README file for details.


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.
Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Publishing" or
"Graphics" and then click on the appropriate field until the above
announced version number appears if it is not displayed already.

If you have 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.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

Yeah, and since vim is installed as the default vi replacement on most,
if not all Linux systems, that's exactly the kind of reason which let
people flee from Linux.  Sure.

Fw: make 1332 proc_subproc: Couldn't duplicate my handle<0x3D8> for pid 1240, Win32 error 6

[김미진]

make 1332 proc_subproc: Couldn't duplicate my handle<0x3D8> for pid 1240, Win32 error 6

Detail error state is :
--
./HEXBIN2  QCM710TI.hex QCM710TI.bin H 0 FFF 2

Win32 error 6
./FONTCOPY: error 0
make: *** [QCM710TI.bin] Error 1
--

I am getting this PID error while running a make script.
And each time the No. of PID error and the No. in front of proc_subproc is changed.

Does anyone have a solution or clue as to why I would get this?

I am running a version of GNU make 3.79.1 .  
And I patched 'windows2000 service pack 4' because of warm virus on Aug 13.
After that, I am getting this error!

It's transparent.  If you build an application using the 1.5.x headers
and libs, the affected types like off_t or fpos_t are 64 bit types
automagically.  The same goes for uid_t/gid_t becoming 32 bit instead of
16 bit.  To quote a mail I've sent to the cygwin-apps ML a month ago:

  [...] please note that the new datatypes are used automatically.
  There isn't any choice between e.g. a off_t with 32 bit and a off64_t
  with 64 bit and no corresponding functions as stat and stat64.
  Building under 1.5.0 means, off_t is 64 bit now.  stat is expecting
  a struct stat with 64 bit off_t.  Full stop.  No compile time
  options.  All or nothing.  Well, you got the idea, I guess...

Re: New package: wft-0.0.3-l

[James Spinks]

Great package btw, loving it so far...

Slight problem though, if I have a $HOME/.wtf directory with databases and indexes in 
it then the wtf program no longer searches the databases in the /usr/share/wtf 
directory.  If I rename my .wtf directory then the system databases are searched once 
more.

Any chance that this could be fixed so that both directories are searched -- or is 
this a 'feature'   ;-)

Additionally, the wtfindex program cores if you attempt to index a database with only 
one entry.  Not many of those in real usage I guess, but if foxed me for a while 
during testing.

patch unusable to apply patches to binary files

[Max Bowsher]

Because patch always reads its input in textmode, it cannot be used to apply
patches to binary files - e.g. gcc-core-3.3-3.3.1.diff, which updates binary
.gmo files.

I recall previous threads about patch and textmode/binmode issues, but
searching for "patch textmode" failed to find them.

Can anyone point me to mails explaining the current behaviour of patch?


Thanks,

Max.

I'm not sure I follow your logic but your tone is coming through crystal 
clear. Given that everyone else appears to accept vim and that the link 
I posted earlier was to a port that was seriously buggy, and that even 
"elvis" seems to be "improved" these days, I'll leave vim installed for 
my friend and see if she accepts it.

Thanks for your help.

du.exe v3.5/4.1 or v3.16/4.0: where is the bug?

[Elisabetta Flamini]

Hello.
My problem is about different versions of du.exe that work in a different
way.

Details:
the argument is executing du against a file owned by a different user than
the one running du.

first case:
du 
   

du --version
GNU fileutils 3.5
GNU fileutils 4.1



second case:
du 
: Permission denied

du --version
GNU fileutils 3.16
GNU fileutils 4.0

In other words, using version 3.16 or 4.0 du fails to execute due to
restricted permissions on the file.
What I wonder is why the behaviour changed through all those du.exe
versions and finally what should be the right way of working.

Many thanks,
Elisabetta

emacs look

[Sal]

I just downloaded the latest version of cygwin, along with emacs 21.2 and
it's respective X11 libraries. It's  been a year or so since I've used emacs
and this is not the version I remember. This version looks more like
"Xemacs" than the GNU emacs I remember using. Namely, there were no cute
little (and totally redundant) "buttons" for 'cut', 'paste' etc... is there
any way to get rid of or "turn off" this button toolbar? Thanks

Bummer.  I guess I have to patch patch once more.  I'll recycle the
--binary option again for this kind of situation as soon as I find some
spare time to do that.

I really wish that somebody would address this issue once and for all. I 
often here such things as a "public mount" but to date nobody has

The situation is this: There are two machines: hosta and hostb. The user

//hosta/share. On hostb the T drive is mounted from //hostb/share (The 
share is replicated on both machines and has bascially the same stuff - 
Tools. This is done because of the thousands of miles of seperation

A cronjob is setup for userc on both hosta and hostb doing merely:

* * * * * net use > /tmp/netuse

On hosta it shows the T drive is OK while on hostb it shows the T drive 
is unavailable.

hosta and hostb are both Windows 2000 servers. hosta is running Cygwin 
1.3.20, cron 3.0.1-7. hostb is running Cygwin 1.3.22, cron 3.0.1-10.

Can somebody explain why this works on hosta and not on hostb? And if 
that explaination is "because the share on hosta is public and on hostb 
it is not" then please let me know what a "public mount" is and how can 
I make the mount on hostb public.

I think Larry is actually speaking shares here, not mounts.

The reason people might not be explaining this is perhaps because it's just
a case of common sense. Public meaning access-to-all, share, in this case,
meaning a file share ...It really shouldn't need explaining.

FYI, this could have been answered by looking at the Windows help, Microsoft
KB, Google, ...

Double check the following

  1) Your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are fully up-to-date (for domain &
 local access)
  2) The cron service is running as the same user

It might also be a good idea to cut Cygwin out of the equastion, and make
sure you're able to do all of this from within Windows (trying your `net use'
from a remote-telnet session would be a good place to start).

There's also a trick you can do with `at' that might help. Type:

  at /interactive HH:MM cmd

at the (Windows) command line. At (no pun intended) HH:MM a LocalSystem owned
command prompt should pop-up, where you can try out `net use'. If it doesn't
work (`net use'), it's a problem with your Windows configuration.

I wouldn't even want to venture a guess. If you haven't already supplied
cygcheck output from both machines, that would make a good data point.

Unfortunately there has been a slight misunderstanding here.  I did mean the

By 'normal' input I meant the 'dumb' input to programs which
issue simple terminal reads, e.g. cat or ftp (as opposed to shells which
do complex line editing.)  I'll refer to this type of input as  
'simple' input.  For example, if I create a file using the cat command:

cat > test

the line editing facilities are very limited.  I find I can't reposition the
cursor using the arrow keys.  This moves the cursor, but the cursor key
escape sequences are stored in the file!  The only way to correct the
input is to backspace from the end of the line, and the backspace key
is the logical choice - I'm removing the character to the left of the cursor.
This works if the stty erase character is ^h.  However, if it's been set
to ^?, things tend to break:

1.  In a window started by the cygwin shortcut, I can't backspace input
in simple terminal reads.  The delete key does nothing, and the backspace
key actually generates a ^h character!

2.  In an xterm window without the resource 
*VT100*deleteIsDel: true

Bash input works as advertised, but setting stty erase ^? completely breaks
character deletion in 'simple' input.  The backspace key generates an actual ^h 
character, and the  key produces an escape sequence ...

3.  In an xterm window with the resource
*VT100*deleteIsDel: true

Again, there's no problem with bash input.  I can now set stty erase ^? and
use the delete key as the character erase key in simple input.  But this is
all very counter-intuitive, for the reasons given above.

Another thing I've noticed is that stty echoctl is set in an xterm session, but
it doesn't actually seem to do anything.  I would expect control characters
to be echoed in 'caret' notation in simple input (e.g. ^a for control-A), and
on other systems I find this very useful because it lets me know when I'm
entering control characters.  Is this a known limitation of the terminal
emulation under Cygwin?

I'll look into this when I have the time (which isn't right now!)  In the

Could you please describe exactly what is a "public" share, what is

does one tell the difference? Also, assuming that in the case that 
works it works because it's a public share and in the case that 
doesn't work it fails because it's a private share then how do I go 
about changing the private share to a public share? 
I really wish that somebody would address this issue once and for all. I 
often here such things as a "public mount" but to date nobody has 
ventured a guess as to what a "public mount" would be and how it would 
differ from a "non public mount". I think I have a situation here that 
clearly shows that something is odd whereas on one machine a mounted 
drive is available via cron and on another machine it is not. Both 
machines are setup nearly identically with the same user (in the same 
domain though geographically separated by thousands of miles). The only 
difference I see is that the versions of Cygwin and cron are different.


I think Larry is actually speaking shares here, not mounts.


Quite right.  I don't know where Andrew got "public mount".  The text
he quoted from my response to his original inquiry uses "public share",
not "public mount".
A "public share" is a 'Windows thing'.  It isn't a 'Cygwin thing'.  It's a
share that allows unprivileged/unauthenticated users access.  Setting it up
simply means adding users of this type (i.e. 'Guest') to the share's
permission list.  I don't know if this explains Andrew's situation or not.
I'm still a bit mystified though why he's so hung up on this "public
share" issue.  I thought it was put to bed the last time he asked in
this thread:


If none of this resolves the issue though, Elfyn's suggestion of comparing
the output of cygcheck for the two machines is a good one.  Or his general
thoughts on debugging of cron is also worthwhile.  Otherwise, I guess the
only other option is to fire up the debugger and see what's going on.

No output from DOS commands via telnet using xinetd

[Brian . Kelly]

I've noticed that running most DOS commands via telnet using *xinetd*
produced no output. Runing DOS commands via telnet using *inetd* works as
expected and DOES produce the expected output. For instance, in telnet via
inetd, typing:

  net help

produces the following output:

-

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
 - net help
The syntax of this command is:


NET HELP command
  -or-
NET command /HELP

   Commands available are:

   NET ACCOUNTS NET HELP  NET SHARE
   NET COMPUTER NET HELPMSG   NET START
   NET CONFIG   NET LOCALGROUPNET STATISTICS
   NET CONFIG SERVERNET NAME  NET STOP
   NET CONFIG WORKSTATION   NET PAUSE NET TIME
   NET CONTINUE NET PRINT NET USE
   NET FILE NET SEND  NET USER
   NET GROUPNET SESSION   NET VIEW

   NET HELP SERVICES lists the network services you can start.
   NET HELP SYNTAX explains how to read NET HELP syntax lines.
   NET HELP command | MORE displays Help one screen at a time.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
 -
---

In telnet via xinetd, their is NO output from the same command:

---

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
 - net help
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
 -
---

Also, if you run a DOS shell via telnet through inetd, you can see the output
of unix/cygwin commands:

 Reformatted paragraphs, to adhere to <80 chars per line.

-- Excerpt from -- http://cygwin.com/setup.html --

Creating a package postinstall script

If your package requires certain commands to be executed after the files
in the package are installed, include them in a file in the package
called /etc/postinstall/package.sh or /etc/postinstall/package.bat.

If the file's name ends in ".sh", it is executed with the Cygwin shell;
if it ends in ".bat", it is executed with the DOS command interpreter.
If it doesn't end with either of these suffixes, it is ignored.

After the script has been run it is renamed by appending the suffix
".done" to its previous name, to prevent it from being run again the
next time the user runs the setup program.

Note that the setup program runs all the postinstall scripts after all
desired packages have been installed, that is, it does not run each
package's postinstall script immediately after installing that package.
Note, furthermore, that the order in which the scripts are run is not
guaranteed. Therefore, if your package depends on others which have
their own postinstall scripts, you cannot assume in your script that the
other packages' scripts have already been run.

-- END of excerpt -- http://cygwin.com/setup.html --
-- Addition to be appended here --

Before you create anything that alters things that might be subject to
user preference - think it over very thoroughly! Adjust as much as
possible to what the user has set as his preference.

An example: The Start-menu

The user might have reordered his/hers Start-menu in an "advanced"
manner, then adding multiple shortcuts to the menu in a way that
disobeys "the rules" is just plain irritating.

If you still feel that you should add things to the Start-menu, then
first check if there is a "Cygwin" folder there. If there is one, then
add your stuff in there, using a new folder named after the package
you're maintaining.

 Here is an example of a postinstall script that checks for the existanse of
the Cygwin start-menu folder. If it isn't there it does "exit"

$ head -15 cygwin-doc-postinstall.sh.done
#!/bin/sh
# cygwin-doc.sh
# requires "mkshortcut" from cygutils

# determine if there is a Start Menu "Cygwin" directory, put links in place
if so
CYGWIN_ASM="$(cygpath -AP)/Cygwin"
CYGWIN_SM="$(cygpath -P)/Cygwin"
if [ -d "$CYGWIN_ASM" ]; then
CYG_USER_FLAGS="-AP"
elif [ -d "$CYGWIN_SM" ]; then
CYG_USER_FLAGS="-P"
else
exit 0
fi

As you have created a postinstall script, it is strongly urged that you
should also consider creating a script that reverses the actions.

This is called a preremove script and should be included in the package
analogous to the postinstall scripts, just replacing the path with
/etc/preremove/package.sh or /etc/preremove/package.bat.

openssl-0.9.7-1

[Mai, Vinh]

Hi There,

I've read your document regarding this version of openssl.  I noticed that
this version now supports Windows CE platform.  I developed an application
using Embedded Visual C++ (Windows CE 3.0).  I am looking for an open source
to use in my program regarding cryptography.  I have a couple of questions
regarding the use of this openssl.

1. Can I use this version of openssl and implement it into my application?
2. if so, then how do I go about using it? I've downloaded the entire
openssl, and have no earthly idea where to start. The readme text files do
not provide me any great help.
3. if I can't implement this into my application, do you know of any other
open source cryptography that I can use?


Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciative.

Many Thanks,
Vin

What document? A *Cygwin* release announcement? Either way, Cygwin doesn't
support Windows CE, and thus OpenSSL w/ Cygwin won't work for you.

Please take your questions to the OpenSSL () people, their

-x weirdness

[Benoit Rochefort]

When I installed cygwin, permissions on all the distribution looks like:

###
$ ls -al /usr/bin/bash
-rwx--+   1 Administ Domain U   531968 Mar 13 04:29 /usr/bin/bash*
###

As you can see, even if I am:

###
$ id 
uid=17199(benoitr) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=10513(Domain Users),11121(Exceed 
Users)
###

I can however run bash and every other programs. I suppose
it is a Windoze weirdness. But, what is interesting is "How
can I know if a program can be executed"? Often, I write
scripts where the flow of control depend on the availability
of a particular program.

So check this out:

###
$ [ -x /usr/bin/bash ]; echo $?
0
$ /usr/bin/test -x /usr/bin/bash; echo $?
1
$ perl -e 'print -x "/usr/bin/bash" ? 0 : 1 , "\n"'
1
###

I guess only bash is correct...

Looking at the source code of bash (in test.c), we discover
what seems to be the "correct" way of guessing if a program
can be executed:

case 'x':   /* File is executable? */
  return (EACCESS (arg, X_OK) == 0);

where EACCESS is:

#if defined (AFS) || defined (__CYGWIN__)
#  define EACCESS(path, mode)   access(path, mode)
#else
#  define EACCESS(path, mode)   test_eaccess(path, mode)
#endif /* AFS */


I'd like to know if:

Someone will notice and eventually correct the bug

- or -

I'm wrong, this is not a bug

- or -

Tell me a way to interprete these results.

Do I have to mail this problem to a perl mailing list?

Thanks

Sorry, I do not know what HLDS is or what it does, apart from it being of the

project, a commercial thing?

This doesn't really sound like a Cygwin issue. Is HLDS a Cygwin app or Mingw
app [read: native windows app] ?

There *are* issues when running multiple versions of the Cygwin dll

I'm sorry but, although you have provided a lot of information, it's not really
useful. You seem to have a problem with a *Windows* program, and I'm not too sure
how Cygwin fits into this at all.

Please take a gander at , if you think this

So, you want an X version (emacs-x11 / XEmacs) ? If so, you might want to ask

the cygwin and cygwin-xfree archives (URL's above ^).

rebuilding mod_php4 4.2.0-2 problem

[Edmond Gradin]

Hi everybody,

The original binary package mod_php4 4.2.0-2 works
fine with postgresql support.
Now I want to rebuild mod_php in order to use the
"Calendar functions", with the option
"--enable-calendar".

I followed the indications from the file
"\usr\doc\Cygwin\php-4.2.0-2.README"

So I apply the cygwin patch:
$ cd /usr/src
$ patch -p0 <
php-4.2.0-2/CYGWIN-PATCHES/php-4.2.0-2.patch
patching file php-4.2.0-2/ext/openssl/openssl.c
patching file php-4.2.0-2/ext/pgsql/config.m4
patching file php-4.2.0-2/ext/xml/expat/expat.h

Then I run autoconf:
$ cd /usr/src/php-4.2.0-2
$ autoconf
configure.in:40: warning: do not use m4_patsubst: use
patsubst or m4_bpatsubst
configure.in:187: warning: AC_PROG_LEX invoked
multiple times
configure.in:1259: warning: do not use m4_regexp: use
regexp or m4_bregexp

Rem: I don't understand the above warnings.

Then when I run:
configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --without-mysql
--with-pgsql --enable-calendar

I got:
.
configure: error: Cannot find libpq.so. Please specify
correct PostgreSQL installation path

Actually "autoconf" program generates the "configure"
file with this code:
.
  if test -f "$i/$j/libpq.so"; then
.

But it should use this file ?
/usr/lib/libpq.a

Do I have to change "configure.in" file manually to
consider the file .../ext/pgsql/config.m4 ? How ?

I would like also to know what are the original
paramenters for configure used to build the original
binary package.

My OS is Windows 2000 profesional.
autoconf2.54-1
cygwin  1.3.22-1
postgresql  7.3.3-1
apache  1.3.24-5

Thanks.

Maybe an old 3.16 bug was 'reintroduced by accident' with 4.0?

Nope. Seems to be a bug in your perl version.  Which version are you
using right now?  I consider the 5.8.0 series will be removed from the
mirrors soon, I was not very happy with it.  5.6.1-2 will stay and
eventually be updated to use cygwin-1.5.2 and probably also some day
in future there will be a 5.6.2 release, I'll look into this issue if
it is a bug in 5.6.x, and my 5.8.1-tobe snapshot with cygwin 1.5.2
does it the correct way: 

$ perl -e 'print -x "/usr/bin/bash" ? 0 : 1 , "\n"'
0
$ perl -e 'print -x "/usr/bin/bash.exe" ? 0 : 1 , "\n"'
0
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.1 built for cygwin-multi-64int
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Re: cron and network drives

I really wish that somebody would address this issue once and for 
all. I  often here such things as a "public mount" but to date nobody 
has  ventured a guess as to what a "public mount" would be and how it 
would  differ from a "non public mount". I think I have a situation 
here that clearly shows that something is odd whereas on one machine 
a mounted drive is available via cron and on another machine it is 
not. Both machines are setup nearly identically with the same user 
(in the same domain though geographically separated by thousands of 
miles). The only difference I see is that the versions of Cygwin and 
cron are different.
I think Larry is actually speaking shares here, not mounts.
Sorry for the incorrect terminology. Substitute "public share" for 
"public mount".

The reason people might not be explaining this is perhaps because it's 
just a case of common sense. Public meaning access-to-all, share, in 
this case, meaning a file share ...It really shouldn't need explaining.
AFAICT it is a public, access-to-all, share. Tools from hostb appears to 
be the same style of share as Tools from hosta.

in question is the same, userc. Now on hosta the T drive is mounted from
//hosta/share. On hostb the T drive is mounted from //hostb/share (The
share is replicated on both machines and has bascially the same stuff -
Tools. This is done because of the thousands of miles of seperation
between the two machines).
A cronjob is setup for userc on both hosta and hostb doing merely:

* * * * * net use > /tmp/netuse

On hosta it shows the T drive is OK while on hostb it shows the T drive
is unavailable.
hosta and hostb are both Windows 2000 servers. hosta is running Cygwin
1.3.20, cron 3.0.1-7. hostb is running Cygwin 1.3.22, cron 3.0.1-10.
The situation is this: There are two machines: hosta and hostb. The user

Double check the following

1) Your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are fully up-to-date (for domain & 
local access)
They are up to date, WRT to userc.

2) The cron service is running as the same user
Cron is installed identically - running as SYSTEM.

It might also be a good idea to cut Cygwin out of the equastion, and 
make sure you're able to do all of this from within Windows (trying 
your `net use' from a remote-telnet session would be a good place to 
start).
I assure you the share is indeed in use everyday by everyone at the site.

My understanding of accessing mount points (shares that have been 
mounted to a drive letter) is that if you telnet or login (or 
switchuser) in such a way as to have a passwordless login then mount 
points are marked as unavailable. Further I understand that cron runs as 
SYSTEM and switches user to the owner of the crontab. Thus a 
passwordless login has occurred therefore mount points are unavailable. 
Yet on hosta it works but on hostb it fails.

There's also a trick you can do with `at' that might help. Type:

at /interactive HH:MM cmd

at the (Windows) command line. At (no pun intended) HH:MM a 
LocalSystem owned
command prompt should pop-up, where you can try out `net use'. If it 
doesn't
work (`net use'), it's a problem with your Windows configuration.
But I thought, and perhaps I'm wrong, that is it not SYSTEM that I need 
worry about rather whether or not userc has access to the mounted drive 
(OK) or not (Unavaliable).

I've tried the at command to no avail. No window is popped up. Yes I 
included /interactive. Problem is perhaps that hostb, the machine where 
the problem is, is in China and I'm accessing it via Remote Desktop. A 
cmd process runs, as SYSTEM, but there is no window. Apparently 
/interactive and Remote Desktop do not like each other! :-(

that explaination is "because the share on hosta is public and on hostb
it is not" then please let me know what a "public mount" is and how can
I make the mount on hostb public.
Can somebody explain why this works on hosta and not on hostb? And if

I wouldn't even want to venture a guess. If you haven't already supplied
cygcheck output from both machines, that would make a good data point.

opening attachments from emacs/gnus under cygwin

In the event this helps anyone...

I'm running GNU Emacs 21.2.1 and gnus 5.10.1 under Cygwin 1.3.22.  I got
tired of having to save attachments and then open a dired buffer and
then launch via shellex.  So I created a .mailcap and put the following
in there:

application/msword; cmd /c winword.exe "`cygpath -aw "%s"`"

Lo and behold, MS Word attachments now launch.  Lather, rinse, and
repeat for other MIME types.

Gerritt,

FWIW, your test above is not conclusive (which doesn't mean
that your 5.8.1-tobe is incorrect).
You need to setup a situation as described by Benoit
where ls -l appears to show that the file isn't executable
although it really is. Using the access function is the way
to go.

This is what I observe (with perl from setup)

$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int
$ perl -e 'print -x "/usr/bin/bash" ? 0 : 1 , "\n"'
1
$ [ -x /usr/bin/bash ]; echo $?
0

Re: -x weirdness

[Benoit Rochefort]

But you tested on *YOUR* /usr/bin/bash, what is your id and
the permissions setted on your /usr/bin/bash program? Read
carefully the output I sent (especially file
mode/owner/group). May be you can make a similar test on
another program that you set the permissions/owner/group as
I have?

As pointed out, that doesn't explain the matter with
/usr/bin/test which is also reporting /usr/bin/bash as
beeing non-executable.

finding out how much memory is available with malloc, gcc, cygwin

[Jim Holder]

A program similar to the one listed below works for me on Linux but not under
Cygwin.  The idea is to find out how memory I can allocate on the machine.  The
Cygwin version keeps going (past 700MB), reporting that it has allocated more
memory than the machine has.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

#include 
#include 
int main(void)
{
char *p;
int loop = 1;
long allocated = 0L;
const long PIECE = 1000L;
const long TENMB = 1000L;
long nextTenMB = TENMB;

while(loop)
{
p = (char*)malloc(PIECE);
if(p == NULL)
{
printf("p == NULL\n");
loop = 0;
}
if(p == (char*)0)
{
printf("p == (char*)0\n");
loop = 0;
}
if(loop == 0)
break;
allocated += PIECE;
if(allocated >= nextTenMB)
{
printf("%ld\n", allocated);
nextTenMB += TENMB;
}
}
printf("final:  %ld\n", allocated);
return 0;
}

Some environment particulars:

-  cygwin 1.3.19-1
-  gcc 3.2-3
-  windows 2000, version 5.0, service pack 4

That's because /bin/test is still using stat() instead of access().

mod_auth_mysql

[Bill McCormick]

Hey all,

I would like to build, CYGwin style, the latest mod_auth_mysql (ver 2.20)
for Apache. The Apache directives have been updated in this version along
with a number of encryption bug fixes. I've got the source from MySQL but
there doesn't seem to be any info for CYGwin build. The CYGwin setup source
download only provides a .c file. Can I simply implement the same changes
from that to the new source? How about any special configure options? Could
someone point me in the right direction with this?

Thanks,

Bill

With "gdb" or "gdb a.exe" I get a segmentation fault.  The core dump reveals

Have you tried re-installing gdb to see if that fixes your problem?

That should be sufficient, though, an upgrade wouldn't go a miss. I'd try upgrading
Cygwin and/or GDB, and see it if helps.

RE: mod_auth_mysql

I launched missiles before I was really ready here.

After looking at the 1.11 source, I really don't find any obvious changes
for cygwin.

Actually, I'm not even exactly sure how Apache mod's work.

LoadModule mysql_auth_module  lib/apache/mod_auth_mysql.dll

This dll is built from the source? i.e. when I configure;make;make install
I'll get a dll? (assuming I use the correct configure options - which would
be ... what)?

AddModule mod_auth_mysql.c

I wouldn't imagine that I can just copy the new .c file to the right place
and be happy. Or can that be all I need to do?

Hmm, the file is mine, I'm the domain-admin, I get '0', your file is
owned by Administrastor and domain user is the group, you're not
Administrator so you get 1 from this perl snippet, what is wrong about
this?

Well, you said you still can execute bash.exe, test reports it as
executable.  Since Windows ACLs are very fine grained you may have the
permission to execute it, regardless what Cygwin ls displays , there
is just a subset of the windows ACLs displayed, e.g. a file may be
accessed by several groups and you may set the ACL different for each
group.

What are the bash.exe permissions beyond what ls is displaying?  Which
Windows version do you use?  What says getfacl about your bash.exe?

php.exe for cygwin

[Aurangzeb M. Agha]

I've got mod_php/apache-php installed and running on my cygwin dist, but
one of the things I want to do is run php scripts from the command line.

Is there a way for me to obtain php in the bin dir so I can execute it
from the command line like I call Perl?  I've looked in the archives, but
not found any such info.

Thanks in Advance,
Zeb

vi startup problem

[Aurangzeb M. Agha]

When I try to start up vi, I get the following:

Terminal entry not found in terminfo
'cygwin' not known. Available builtin terminals are:
builtin_ansi
builtin_xterm
builtin_iris-ansi
builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'ansi'

What's causing this, and how do I resolve it?

FWIW, the test version of sh-utils (the package that contains /bin/test)
for cygwin 1.5.2 should now be using access(), not stat.

Security Issues found by Microsoft's Application Verifier

[Brant Langer Gurganus]

Microsoft's Application Verifier (free) software identified this issue 
in just about every Cygwin executable:
The application assigned an object (file, registry key, etc.) an 
excessively permissive security descriptor.  Depending on the 
permissions granted (detailed in the log entry), an unauthorized user 
could perform illegitimate actions on the object (for example, delete 
it).  This could disrupt application operation in different ways, 
depending on the permissions granted and what they mean for the object 
in question.

called from cygpath.exe, make.exe, and just about every other binary 
executable
(cygwin1.dll:00056726) Object created/set by CreateFileMapping: 
cygpid.7BC has a NULL DACL - grants full access to all users

Please send replies directly to me also as I am not a list subscriber.

Re: vi startup problem

[Aurangzeb M. Agha]

My apologies for not posting properly.

Using Cygwin 1.3.22 on W2K.

I've looked at the archives (extensively) and not found a solution to
this.

One thing I _did_ do is extapolate from other postings that the problem
might be non-compatible versions cygwin with vi.  To remedy this, I re-ran
setup.exe and got all the "curr" packages.  This seemed to do the trick.

Was my assessment correct?

Re: vi startup problem

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Well, not quite.  The Cygwin version of vim is, of course, compatible with
Cygwin.  You could have been missing one of the packages that vim require
(in this instance, looks like it was terminfo).  However, since your
cygcheck output shows all updated packages, it's not very informative in
diagnosing your original problem, so I guess we'll never know.

RE: finding out how much memory is available with malloc, gcc, cygwin

[Kiran Bacche]

Hi Jim
   Well in almost all current Oses, each application is allocated a
virtual memory of 2^32 Bytes. This block is divided into many segments
like data, text, bss, stack and heap. 
The max. size of heap depends varies from one application to another as
the other segments vary from one application to another. And also it is
OS dependent. Some OS may restrict it's heap from  growing beyond some
MBs, and some may allow applications to readjust the heap size. (thru
calls similar to unix brk() call).

  OK that's some theory. Coming to your applciation, if the intent is to
find out the "physical memory" present, I think some kernel level
programming is required. Please refer "Linux Device Drivers" By Rubini
of the O'Reilly Team.

But if the intent is to really find out how many bytes can be malloced
by an application, I think the answer will be different on different
Oses.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
  Kiran

A program similar to the one listed below works for me on Linux but not
under
Cygwin.  The idea is to find out how memory I can allocate on the
machine.  The
Cygwin version keeps going (past 700MB), reporting that it has allocated
more
memory than the machine has.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

#include 
#include 
int main(void)
{
char *p;
int loop = 1;
long allocated = 0L;
const long PIECE = 1000L;
const long TENMB = 1000L;
long nextTenMB = TENMB;

while(loop)
{
p = (char*)malloc(PIECE);
if(p == NULL)
{
printf("p == NULL\n");
loop = 0;
}
if(p == (char*)0)
{
printf("p == (char*)0\n");
loop = 0;
}
if(loop == 0)
break;
allocated += PIECE;
if(allocated >= nextTenMB)
{
printf("%ld\n", allocated);
nextTenMB += TENMB;
}
}
printf("final:  %ld\n", allocated);
return 0;

modules/auth_mysql/libauth_mysql.a(mod_auth_mysql.o.b)(.text+0xc4b):mod_auth
_mysql.c: undefined reference to `_mysql_connect'
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o)(.text+0x8b):my_co
mpress.c: undefined reference to `_compress'
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o)(.text+0x16d):my_c
ompress.c: undefined reference to `_compress'
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o)(.text+0x210):my_c
ompress.c: undefined reference to `_uncompress'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [target_static] Error 1

By the way, I'm running a Win32 MySQL server (on the sme box) and trying to
link against the standard unix mysql binaries.

Ideas?

Thanks,


Bill

RE: HLDS and Cygwin

Guess, they both install a local cygwin1.dll. This won't work.
See archives.

OTOH I am asking myself, what kind of license this software is, since
it obviously is depending on Cygwin.

Regrads,
Jörg
