Re: ctrl-c swallowed

[Igor Pechtchanski]

That's what the mailing list is for.  This kind of discussion should be
kept on the mailing list so that it can be found in the archives.

The information generated by cygcheck should not present any security
issues, but I'll let others comment on this.

The reason I asked for your /cygwin.bat was that others reported that
Ctrl-C becomes ineffective if "start" was used to fire off the bash shell,
so if you had modified your /cygwin.bat, that would explain the problem.

As for the cygcheck output, I'd've looked for the contents of the CYGWIN
environment variable there, especially the setting of "tty" (as was
already suggested on the list by Brian Dessent).  Also, having the list of
packages and DLL versions in the cygcheck output lets others duplicate
your environment in an attempt to reproduce your problem.

Yeah! Thats correct! For some reason, if pico (or nano) is runned with CYGWIN=tty,
it will make the terminal go crazy when it is terminating. The terminal will not 
display any output, just consume input.
"stty sane" or "reset" did not alter that behaviour...

cygwin older/newer version downloading

[Mark Fishel]

Hello,

I was wondering how one could download a cygwin version different from the
current stable one - the cygwin.com page only links to articles with the
changes in every version, not the downloads.

Thank You in advance,

Mark Fishel

I find this behaviour if i set the cygwin=tty variable after having started
the bash prompt.  Setting it before (ie adding it to the system environment
variables) has no problems.
ctrl-C and (i think) ctrl-T not working in nano are the only reasons i set
cygwin=tty.

compiler works error in Cygwin

[tufei]

Hi,
   I am a hardware engineer. Now my embedded System use the processor MC68EZ328.
   Before now, my program is compiled in real Linux. All right. The compiler works OK.
   Now, my program have to be compiled in Windows System. So I installed Cygwin first.
Then I have my program compiled in Cygwin, but it didn't work right.
   Does not Cygwin support some program?

regards
tufei

Re: compiler works error in Cygwin

[Anders Lindén]

You did not make any efforts making a real diagnosis of the problem, but wants us to 
do it for you?
Do you think "it didnt work right" is a proper description of your problem?
What is "support programs" supposed to mean?
Did you compile your program for cygwin or did you try to run old MC68EZ328 binaries 
on the Intel platform?

Actually, that kind of fear is probably more common that you thingk: where I 
work, people are afraid of free software too, for two reasons: licensing ("Am
I obliged to liberate my software because I use grep in one of the setup 
scripts?") and quality assurance ("At least there's a big company behind it
that has the (legal) responsability for the quality of the program..")

The fact that the quality of FSF software such as gcc is often a lot better 
than the Microsoft-equivalent (MSVC) doesn't seem to bother them much..

md5sum of a CD

[romildo]

Hello.

How can one find the md5sum of a CD
in Windows?

In Linux, one can do

  $ md5sum /dev/cdrom

Regards

 Hrm... Every scripting language has its advantages; currently I believe
Perl
has one advantage that has very much resemblance of the situation in the
operating systems market - no names necessary IMO.

My 'baby' is "REXX"
(regina on sourceforge is a GPL?/free variant. Check http://www.rexxla.org/)
I'll be playing with regina RSN(tm). It _compiles_ OOTB on cygwin.

Ok.  But I'm sorry cannot reproduce it here.  I have also all binmode
mounts like you.

$ set | grep PERL

gives no output, so no PERL or PERLIO settings in my environment, see
also perl -V output below for my environment settings which may
influence these things.

though autoconf is newer, but I don't think that another autoconf makes
any difference:

I don't have a /dev!
My CD is mounted 
q: on /cdrom type system (binmode)
It all seems to work, should I be doing something different?

It's actually a CDRW, I couldn't see in the archive or docs if cd writing is
supported under cygwin, I did look.

The /dev directory is a "virtual" directory, much like the /proc directory.
if you do a ls /dev/scd0 you should get a result. Also see

Older: You can't. Old versions are deleted.

Newer: A test (beta) version is available in setup.exe. There are also

Duh! after 'mount -b //./q: /dev/scd0' all is rosy.
Thank you - I _have_ rtfm, but I expect my eyes glazed over as I probably
didn't understand it all at the time. It's one of those probably
insurmountable problems I suppose (not thick users) - how to cross reference
a document under any reasonable heading that could be looked for? I may be
making excuses (but _not_ complaining) but "Special Filenames/Posix
Devices/" wasn't the first place I thought to look for access to cdrom -
this is likely because I've spent too much time on windows and not enough on
unix/linux. I do really like cygwin as I would have a much harder time
without it.

Re: Compiling Iroffer with a fresh install of cygwin - 4 attachments

Please do not take discussions off the mailing list unless there is good
reason to make them private.

Doing so:

Is bad for me: Your mail doesn't get filtered into my "Cygwin" folder.
Is bad for you: You drastically reduce the number of people who may look at
your problem.
Is bad for others: They might have a similar problem, and benefit from the
discussion.

Yes, you already posted those. I was looking for more info.



Since it is small, and I am in a good mood, I downloaded iroffer.

It turns out that you can run "./Configure errors" to see the compiler error
output.
You will see that is complains about "cannot find -lregex". This is because
modern Cygwin has regex functionality built right in to the cygwin DLL
itself. No extra library options are needed.

So, modify Configure appropriately, and go tell iroffer's maintainer that
cygwin hasn't had a libregex.a for several years now.

Max.

Don't do this.  Read the above document again, carefully.  Using mount
is unnecessary.  It was only necessary until Cygwin 1.3.3.   Please
read again, beginning with the paragraph starting with

  "Since Cygwin 1.3.4 raw devices are accessible from inside of Cygwin
   processes using fixed POSIX device names. [...]"

Understood. I umounted and it works, of course.
I think I tried md5sum /dev/scd0 and _thought_ it hadn't worked.  I probably
wasn't waiting long enough and Ctrl-Ced, assuming it had either hung or was
waiting for console input.
Patience and understanding are good, I need more of both, I shall work on
them.
Thank you for your help.

I've changed the description how to access raw devices.  The way how to
mount these devices is entirely gone.  Please read it again and report
back, if the description of raw devices is a bit clearer now.

Definitely better, but why not change:
"Windows NT/W2K/XP additionally support raw devices like floppies, disks,
partitions and tapes. These are accessed from Cygwin applications using
POSIX device names which are supported in two different ways.

Up to Cygwin 1.3.3 the only way to access those devices was to mount the
Win32 device names to a POSIX device name but this usage is discouraged
since Cygwin 1.3.4 and only kept for backward compatibility."

to something like:
"Windows NT/W2K/XP additionally support raw devices like floppies, disks,
partitions and tapes. These are accessed from Cygwin applications using
POSIX device names."

The next para starts "Beginning with Cygwin 1.3.4" so it's apparent that
it's a change from previous behaviour.

You could even go for :
"Windows NT/W2K/XP additionally support raw devices like floppies, disks,
partitions and tapes. These are accessed from Cygwin applications using
POSIX device names, beginning with Cygwin 1.3.4 these raw devices are
accessible "

I hope the feedback is useful, even if you don't agree with the suggestion.
Thanks again.

setup crashes after checking md5 for gcc...

[Stumpe, Robert]

it`s my first time using cygwin;
at first i found an older installer (v2.249.2.5) and some packages on a
drive
in our lan; so i tried it with the old one installer and it works...
after using cygwin i recognized, that a compiler is missing and
so i downloaded hardly the whole packages and store it on this drive for
software
in our lan. then i try to install cygwin local ... the older
installer(setup.exe)
crashes with a msg: runtime error ... abnormal programm termination

so i downloaded the new installer (v2.340.2.5) from cygwin.com
and first it looks better ... untill it checks for md5Sum of gcc 3.2-3
after that setup finishes(crashes) without an msg

anybody wants to help me...?

1. I did love perl long ago, before I saw that it has brain-dead design.
   
   I am at the next stage now - I graduated to Lisp.

Uhm, the next para starts with "Up to Cygwin 1.3.3 ...".  Actually I
didn't want to remove the pointer to some old method involving mount
points since there might be still people out there using this technique.
They should know that they should do something as a switch over, therefore
words as "discouraged".

Yes, it was helpful.

Actually I cut the whole paragraph starting "Up to Cygwin 1.3.3 ...", hence
'The next para starts "Beginning with Cygwin 1.3.4" '
It probably doesn't format too well in email.
I considered the point about deprecated methods and you could add a footnote
with a link to the old method.
Glad to be of service.

Re: all apps crash at startup with current CVS checkout of cygwin

[Ronald Landheer-Cieslak]

"Shortly" took a bit longer than I expected, but OK..
I've put the cygwin1.dll in place and ran cygcheck - id crashed but the 
cygcheck.out file it produced is attached anyhow..

I have also attached a file called cygwin1-20030828.dll.map, which 
contains the addr2line output for the addresses in the stacktrace I 
posted earlier.

I don't want to worry you too much, though: I haven't had these problems with
any of the cgf-compiled Cygwins so far.. (including the latest snapshot).

There is no such concept as 'cygwin versions', unless you refer to the
cygwin dll only (the current one is 1.3.22- and there is a 'Test'
version too; numbered 1.5. ).

 There is just 'Prev'-ious, 'Curr'-ent and possibly 'Exp'-erimental (==
Test) rated _packages_ as shown on the setup.exe "Select Packages" page.
 There you also have the 'Keep' choice and 'View' button just display the
same packages with different kinds of "filters" applied.

 This won't work on cygwin (nor in Windows AFAIK).
Cygwin is an emulated environment, which depends entirely (exception;
managed mode fs) on Windows for its filesystem; thus no possible way to do
this.

Unless you're knowledgable enough yourself to implement it within the Cygwin
filesystem _emulation_.

Ouch! 8-7

 As I understand this a very longstanding change (from cygwin 1.3.4)...
I have a clear(!?) recollection of reading about this *NOT* beeing possible.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] updated: nasm-0.98.37-1 and nasm-0.98.37-2

[Dean Scarff]

nasm-0.98.37-1 and nasm-0.98.37-2 have been uploaded to sourceware.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
===
Many many developers all over the net respect NASM for what it is
- a widespread (thus netwide), portable (thus netwide!), very
flexible and mature assembler tool with support for many output
formats (thus netwide!!).


RELEASE NOTES:
==

Upstream news from the CHANGES file:


* Paths given in "-I" switch searched for "incbin"ed as
well as "%include"ed files.
* Added stabs debugging for the ELF output format, patch from
Martin Wawro.
* Fix output/outbin.c to allow origin > 8000h.
* Make -U switch work.
* Fix the use of relative offsets with explicit prefixes, e.g. "a32 loop 
foo".
* Remove "backslash()".
* Fix the SMSW and SLDT instructions.
* -O2 and -O3 are no longer aliases for -O5 and -O10.  If you mean the
latter, please say so! :)

Setup.exe:
--

nasm is in the category 'Devel'.  New versions will remove older versions.
nasm-0.98.37-2 is built for cygwin-1.5.2 and is marked test accordingly.  
It *WILL NOT WORK* under cygwin-1.3.22.

Other notes:


Please be aware the upstream ChangeLog is no longer maintained.

nasm output will retain binary compatibility with previous versions, and 
the output should be unaffected between nasm-0.98.37-1 and nasm-0.98.37-2.

The Portable Document Format and PostScript versions of the documentation 
are no longer distributed in the binary package, although they can be 
built with the source package.  The text and HTML versions of the 
documentation are still available in /usr/doc/nasm-0.98.37

As always, you should conduct an appropriate level of testing before using 
any new product in your production environment.

GENERIC INFORMATION:


INSTALLATION:
-
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.  
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'nasm' from the 
'Devel' category.

DOWNLOAD:
-
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't 
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to 
find a mirror which has this update.

These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have the 
latest version of this package fairly soon:

In Australia,
ftp://planetmirror.com/pub/cygwin/

offers a reliable high bandwidth connection.

QUESTIONS:
--
If you want to make a point or ask a question concerning the package, the 
Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.

Unable to allocate heap

[Jon Jansen]

I get the following error running CygWin find and xargs from within a TCL
script:

Error executing 'C:/cygwin/bin/find TempDir/QACData -name *.lock -type f
-print0 | xargs -0r rm -r'...
c:\cygwin\bin\xargs.exe: *** unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size
384, Win32 error 0

The error is intermittent and I haven't been able to reproduce it outside
the TCL script (whether from bash, cmd, tclsh, whatever).

There's similar prior art in the archives, but this one has the crucial
difference that the reported heap_chunk_size is small but non-zero.

I've had a look through the relevant source (shared.cc, heap.cc), and my
initial thought was that shared_info::heap_chunk_size() was returning a
rogue size for some reason. It seems that the memory-zeroing behaviour of
Win32 CreateFileMapping() is used to initialise shared_info::heap_chunk to
zero. Is CreateFileMapping() completely trustworthy in this respect?

Cygwin OpenGL version

[Jon Brooks]

I have just started using Cygwin and learning OpenGL and am a bit confused
about the installed version of OpenGL. During Cygwin setup it looks like the
OpenGL version is 1.1.0-6. However I am successfully compiling tutorial
programs which contain GL commands from later versions of OpenGL. I am
guessing that this may be because Cygwin is linking to the Windows XP
installed version of OpenGL.  Is this the case?

Many thanks if you can help

Pick your favorite mirror, download the Cygwin release directory, setup.exe,
and setup.ini, and burn a CD.  Maintain the directory structure from the 
mirror (i.e. make sure you have all the packages in the 'release' directory 
and that setup.exe and setup.ini are in the parent directory.)  Put all this 
in a directory called "cygwin" on the CD as well.  You can, of course, weed
out packages you don't want to install and/or older versions of packages and
source from the release directory, to make it fit nicely on 1 CD.  Be aware
that you're bound by the GPL to include source for any binaries you 
"distribute" with this CD, so it's best to keep the source on the CD for
packages you include.

See the email archives for more discussion of this topic if you still have
questions.  It's been discussed there allot, so you should find the answers
to just about any question you might have about this process.

No, I don't see that when posting (well, I guess the list would see it 
unless majordomo doesn't honor "Reply-To" - so perhaps this is an avenue

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-1.5.3-1

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of the Cygwin DLL and associated utilities
available for download.  As usual, a list of what has changed is below.

This is the first non-test 1.5.x release.  This means that the 1.5.x
series of the cygwin DLL will be the default from now on.

As previously reported here, 1.5.x versions of cygwin1.dll contain major
changes in some APIs such that 64 bit file I/O operations are now
available.  This means that some structures such as those found in
'stat' and 'dirent' have changed.  This version also supports 32 bit
uids.  Older applications will continue to work correctly but DLLs and
libraries which use any structures whose size has changed will need to
be recompiled and relinked.

There have been two problems with previous 1.5.x releases.  One involved
any application that used fdopen and another involved any application
that used -lc on the command line.  If you have rebuilt a library or
application for 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 and you used either of these, you will
need to relink your app for 1.5.3.  I'm very sorry for the
inconvenience.  Executables linked for/with 1.5.2 or 1.3.32 or earlier
should continue to work fine.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Using ActivePerl 5.8 on a cygwin system

[John Seeliger]

I have had cygwin installed on this PC for quite some time, but hadn't
updated it for a while.  I wanted to run yahoo2mbox.pl and found it wouldn't
work with the perl 5.6.1 I had installed, so I downloaded ActivePerl 5.8.?
and tried running the script from a Windows XP prompt, but it used the
cygwin perl.  So, I just copied the ActivePerl over the cygwin perl (yeah, I
know, not a good idea) and then it still wouldn't work because some of the
lib files used by it weren't there either.  I copied a few of those as well,
but still to no avail.

Have I just hosed my cygwin?  Will downloading the updated perl help?  How
can I download just perl without going through the installer and selecting
"keep" on every single other item?

Thanks.

Rerun setup, find Perl in the list of packages and toggle the state until
it becomes "Reinstall".  Continue from there.  You don't need to tell 
setup.exe to "Keep" anything.  It knows what you have installed and will
automatically leave it as "Keep" unless there is some updated version from 
the last time.  You can change the view to see if that's the case.  If 
you didn't just updated today and you weren't using the test ("Exp") 
releases of packages before, you may find there are quite a few updates.
But you're better off with them.

Why?  Cygwin has Perl 5.8.? as well...

Make sure ActivePerl appears in the WinXP PATH variable before Cygwin's
/bin.

Yep, not a good idea.

You did hose Cygwin's perl.

Downloading and reinstalling the perl package should fix this.  You can
install version 5.8.0-5, BTW.

Use the "Keep" view of the installer.

And please follow-up with any questions generated from following the 
directions at this site with tech.erdelynet.com.  The supported information
for setting up Cygwin's OpenSSH distribution is 
/usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-*.README.  It's the only source of information this
list will entertain questions about.

Re: sshd setup question

[Dan Adams]

I tried the directions at the site, and when it did the chown system.system
/var/empty command. It errors out, saying that the user is unknown. It seems
to not want to start the service after that point. Any more suggestions.
Also does anyone know how to remove a service from the listong in Win2k once
it is no longer desired. I am hoping to change from telnet/ftp to ssh access
which means I would be able to get rid of the service of inetd that is in my
win2k control panel thing.

Re: sshd setup question

[Larry Hall]

OK, visit  and provide the requested info.
Also, send along (attached too) your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.  The
actual transcript of your attempt to run chown would be helpful too.

cygrunsrv -E  followed by cygrunsrv -R  will
stop and remove a service.

Re: sshd setup question

[Dan Adams]

Thanks for the comment about cygrunsrv and the method of removing service
from win2k That worked well

Since I have inetd working well. I have a telnet server and also a FTP
server, but neither is available outside of my firewall. I thought that I
would try and see if I could use the sshd server that I just setup via the
inetd thing. When I did this, I got an error message of:

ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer

What would this mean? This is the only error message that I have been
getting from the ssh deamon when I try and connect, and even before I ran
that setup script.

I use perl 5.6.1 with Cygwin and the yahoo2mbox.pl script works just
fine.  You need to have the proper modules installed from CPAN of
course, but this is the case with any perl version on any operating
system.  If you look at the top of the script you'll see:

use Getopt::Long ();
use HTML::Entities ();
use HTML::HeadParser ();
use HTML::TokeParser ();
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET POST);
use HTTP::Cookies ();
use LWP::UserAgent ();
use LWP::Simple ();

So these modules must be present in your installation for this script to
work.  If you don't know how to use CPAN you may want to read the
documentation for it, see also .  I think you can
get everything you need by installing Bundle::LWP and HTML::Parser.

Thanks, Robert - though we haven't tried that, since our idea for this
workaround worked:

After installing Default, and then re-running setup, it only took about
30 seconds to click over to the next state.

I'd still be interested to know what setup is doing at that point.  It
might give us a clue as to why setup's performance varies across such a
wide range.  (If Cygwin was already installed, could we strace
setup.exe?)

I've observed this behaviour in setup.exe literally for years, now.
I always assumed everyone knew about it.  (Dangerous assumption?)
I have a feeling it only happens on the first Cygwin install, which was
probably why I had the idea for the workaround we tried.

Has some change to setup in a recent snapshot targeted the problem?

Regards,

luke

no - it's not a cygwin app.

Yes, 6 months ago IIRC.

You'll find more expertise on this subject on the cygwin-xfree list (which
deals with all issues XFree86).  I'm redirecting your message there.
Please remove  from further replies.
