Re: sshd setup question

[Larry Hall]

You're not reaching the server.  The read of the basic version identification
is failing.  If the client and the server can't understand what version of
ssh is running on either end, they don't talk.  So you're not reaching the 
server through ssh.

Sorry I don't know much about setting up ssh under inetd.  Is there a reason
not to set it up as the documentation suggests?  I can vouch for things 
working that way.

Installation problems

[Hoyt Bailey]

I am running Windows XP with 512MB.  I downloaded from the VA mirror and all
seemed to go well no problems.  I downloaded setup.exe and it took over and
installed the rest from the internet.  When completed I clicked on the
Desktop Icon and got the following:
/bin/find: /etc/profile.d: No such file or directory.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
Futher checking showed that /etc/profile does exist and is readable at least
with cat.(/etc/profile.d does not exist).  Other problems discovered ls only
works if you give it a directory ls (dosent) ls /etc (works).  Passwd works
but it changes my login password to Windows. There is no root user and
mkuser doesnt work.  Commands less, more, dir were not recognized.  I dont
think I am in cygwin but I have no idea where I am.

John,

Beware that installing the LWP module will create three scripts in your
/usr/bin: HEAD, GET, and POST.  The first one (/usr/bin/HEAD) will make
the "head" command non-operational.  Renaming these scripts to HEAD.pl,
GET.pl, and POST.pl, respectively, fixes this problem without losing the
LWP module's command-line functionality.  The LWP maintainers are aware of
the problem and elected not to address it, IIRC.

Re: sshd setup question

[Dan Adams]

You mentioned that it is not reaching the server through ssh, is there any
way I can find out where the problem occurs at? I am using a command line of
:
ssh -p 422 localhost
to do this, I am not sure where in the networking the problem might lie at,
is there any way that I can find out, or assist you in finding out?

The reason I was trying it with inetd, partly because it mentioned it on the
website of yours, is because I have it working correctly for a couple of
other services that are part of cygwin.

One discrepancy I found between the website and the ssh-host-config file
that was installed on my machine is
file:
chown system.system /var/empty
website
chown system:system /var/empty

How should this be? If you notice the website has a colon on that line, the
file has a period on that line.

The website I am referring to is: http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.html

Re: sshd setup question

[Dan Adams]

The error it gives me when I try to start the service, after using the
ssh-host-config command to make the service, and using the cygrunsrv -S sshd
command is:
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
I am not sure if this will help at all, but I figured it might.

Why are you using port 422?  Did you set up your sshd to use this port?

Hm.  I thought I was clear about this.  tech.erdelynet.com has no 
affiliation with cygwin.com.  This list can't answer questions about
information your find at tech.erdelynet.com.  Sorry.  If you have

ROTFLMAO.

What legal responsibility? I hope you have pointed these fine folks to
the appropriate sections of the so-called "License Agreements" (i.e. "we
agree that you will accept these terms, or you won't use the program"),
which specifically shirks all responsibility for any and all mayhem
caused by the program..

Ignore this.  This is simply a warning from the part of /etc/profile
that's supposed to run helper scripts for various applications, which
reside in /etc/profile.d.  This message means that you haven't installed
any applications that use this directory (and thus, this directory didn't
get created).  I've notified the maintainer of the "base-files" package of
this warning.

This just confirms the above.

This is strange.  Are you running the right "ls"?  What is the exact
message you get when ls doesn't work?  Where are you running "ls" from --
a bash shell, or a Windows command prompt (cmd.exe)?  If from a bash
shell, what is the output of "/bin/pwd; type -a ls; /bin/ls ."?

Also, please (re)read the problem reporting guidelines at
, especially the bit about attaching (as
an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr".  This
output will contain the information that'll help in diagnosing your
problem.

> Passwd works but it changes my login password to Windows.

As it should.  For more information, "man passwd".

> There is no root user and mkuser doesnt work.

Cygwin has neither a root user nor the mkuser command.  There are multiple
users in Windows with various capabilities that the root user usually has,
the exact one to use depends on why you need to be root.

> Commands less, more, dir were not recognized.

Most likely you didn't install the "less", "more", and "fileutils"
packages.  The cygcheck output mentioned above will either confirm or deny
this.

> I dont

Judging by the prompt included above you *are* in a Cygwin bash shell.
Your other problems most likely have reasonably easy solutions, as long as
we have the cygcheck output to tell us the exact configuration of your
system.

But all silliness aside, there's a very good point to the seeming
extremes that the Cygwin project in particular, and the FSF in general,
go in order to protect the code base by ensuring the true freedom of
their sources.

I give you the Linux mess, as exhibit #1.

How to let program running without cygwin environment???

[xuzhd]

I wrote a C program using cygwin, and I hope I can minimize my install
package only including my program and the pre-requisite files such as
cygwin1.dll, ipc-daemon.exe and so on. I had thought that I realized my
goal, but I found that my program didn't run stably after some long-term
tests.
I also let my program running under machines installed with cygwin, and the
results are stable though the test time is not very long.
I wonder if there are some important files ingored by me?

Re: sshd setup question

[Dan Adams]

I am guessing this questioning might shift a little with my latest finding.
Also, I have attached the cygcheck file thing that was requested at that
website.

My latest finding is:
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key

I found this when looking in the sshd.log file that is in that directory.
Relating to the permissions that that gentleman mentioned in his post on
this list, those directories (this may not be good though) have the
permissions for the system account. Is there anything that speaks about how
to create these keys?

Re: sshd setup question

[Larry Hall]

ssh-host-config creates /etc/ssh_host_key*.

 From your cygcheck output:

  653k 2003/07/22 C:\Program Files\mysql\bin\cygwinb19.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
  "cygwinb19.dll" v0.0 ts=1998/7/15 18:50

This will is trouble waiting to happen.  Get rid of this DLL and update
mysql as required.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: binutils-20030901-1

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of binutils available for installation.
This version is a refresh from CVS on sources.redhat.com.

Notable changes:

Adds the ability to use exports from an executable and the ability to
create a separate file holding debug info.

Fixed dlltool so that the tmp files it creates are unique, allowing
"make -jN" to operate successfully when building import libraries.

libcygwin.a is treated as a "special" library so that globals from this
library are not reexported.

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.

make sees a line with two colons and believes it is seeing a malformed
static pattern rule.

Hope this helps,

Re: sshd setup question

[Dan Adams]

I followed both of those suggestions. I retried that script and it seems to
generate the key files each time it is run now. As far as that mySQL thing,
I renamed that dll file and will use another program temporarily, until I
can figure this thing out.

Once I did those two things, I still see an error that looks the same,
although the contents of the sshd.log file is now:
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.

My main trouble with this is that I seem to be having trouble getting the
permissions for that directory like it says, I can get it chmod'ed to 744
easily, but I can't seem to get its ownership to root or system either one.
I am using a windows 2000 machine, although that may have been in my
cygcheck file that I sent. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get this
permission thing set.

Setup.exe seems to hang

[luke . kendall]

One of the people here is trying to install Cygwin for the first time
ever on his Win2k PC.  We update a mirrored copy of Cygwin nightly, and
install from that on our local network.

The problem he's having is that when getting to the stage of trying to
change the installation type from "default" to "install", the machine
just goes very busy and doesn't complete (e.g. it was left running
overnight).

FWIW, this step in the setup process is always the most troublesome in
my experience - on some PCs here you click on Default or the icon and
you can cycle through the options with less than a second delay.  For
many other PCs, each click can take up to 3 minutes of intense CPU
activity before the state cycles on to the next (Default, Install,
Uninstall, Reinstall).

What *is* setup doing at this point?  I had assumed it was checking MD5
checksums of the files, but that wouldn't explain the huge variation in
responsiveness from PC to PC here, all on the same network.  I can't
say I've noticed any difference between Win2k and XP machines - I've
never been able to find a pattern in what makes one PC slow in this
regard.

BTW, the fact that setup.exe gives no visible indication (busy cursor)
to let you know that it's actually doing something, often leads to a
lots of counter-productive clicking.  It can also lead to accidental
uninstallation (you see Install, click on Next, but don't realise you
are 4 minutes and 2 clicks behind ...)

Anyway, any suggestion about setup.exe just going busy?  We're going to
try installing the Default stuff, then run it again and see if we can
choose to install everything after that.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gdb-20030901-1 (also includes GUI "insight" debugger)

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of the gdb debugger available for installation.
This version is a refresh from the CVS repository on sources.redhat.com.
The package also contains the "insight" graphical debugger.

I just noticed that, while the package is labelled gdb-20030901-1, gdb
identifies itself as gdb 2003-09-02.  This is undoubtedly due to the
fact that the gdb version file from CVS is generated in UTC.  It is
nothing to be alarmed about.  Or, rather, if you are alarmed, please
confine your alarm to your immediate family, pets, etc. and do not
bother the mailing list.

Unlike most cygwin packages, my preference is that bug reports for the
insight debugger should go to the insight mailing list on
sources.redhat.com.  If you do send an insight problem to the cygwin
mailing list, expect to be redirected there.

Remember that to start the insight debugger, you type "insight".  Typing
"gdb" just brings up the command line debugger.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xpm-nox-4.2.0-4

[Charles Wilson]

The xpm-nox package contains the DLL, static library, and import library 
for the X-less version of the Xpm library.  This release ALSO contains 
the X-based DLL, cygXpm-X4.dll, so that older executables will continue 
to operate correctly (*).  Newly compiled programs will use the "real"
libXpm.dll from the cygwin-xfree project, or the X-less cygXpm-noX4.
dll, depending on compile-time settings (see below).

This release is built against the cygiwn-1.5.x kernel; it will not work 
with 1.3.22.

CHANGES:

- documentation moved to /usr/share/*
- recompiled against cygwin-1.5.2
- add sxpm back to the distribution.  It won't work without XFree86
   installed and an xserver running -- but we do NOT list XFree86 as
   a dependency (that would defeat the whole purpose of this package,
   after all).

As concerns the X-less Xpm library, the header files are located in
/usr/include/noX/, and the import/static libs are now located in
/usr/lib/noX/.

This means that in order to link against the non-X-based Xpm libraries,
you must
a) compile using '-I/usr/include/noX'
b) compile with the '-DXPM_NO_X' flag
c) link using '-L/usr/lib/noX'
In some cases, for instance 'configure'-based packages, you have to
do it this way:
CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/noX -DXPM_NO_X" LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/noX 
./configure

For more information about the new xpm-nox package see the NOTES
section below and /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/xpm-nox-4.2.0.README.

(*) probably pointless, as this new cygXpm-X4.dll is built against 
cygwin-1.5.2 -- which means that to use it, you must recompile against 
the new kernel anyway.  But once you do that, you'll link against the 
cygwin-xfree version of the xpm dll, and you won't need cygXpm-X4 
anymore.  But whatever...

NOTES:

o can coexist with the "libXpm.dll" provided by cygwin-XFree, but
does provide additional features. The cygwin-XFree version of the Xpm
library is dynamic only; this version provides the Xpm routines
without depending on other X libraries and doesn't require an Xserver.
Also, this version can be linked statically OR dynamically.

o Comparison:  the cygwin-xfree version and the xpm-nox version:
cygwin-xfree : + more complete - requires Xserver
xpm-nox  : + no Xserver needed - a few missing routines (*)
The missing routines are the ones related to "Pixmaps" ("XpmImage"
"Buffer" " Image" and "Data" related functions are implemented).  I've
never run into a program that fails to link using the xpm-nox library
-- and it works fine with cygwin-XEmacs; however, since it isn't
fully complete:

o Based on the xpm code from the XFree86-4.2.0 distribution (xpm was
*finally* absorbed into the main XFree distro as of v4.0).  However,
there a few non- cosmetic differences between the earlier
"xpm-3.4k.tar.gz" distribution and the "xpm" directory in the
XFree86-4.2.0 sources.

o follows new naming scheme for dlls (with some complications because
of the need NOT to interfere with the cygwin-xfree version):

- /usr/lib/noX/libXpm.dll.a  (import lib, X11-free)
- /usr/lib/noX/libXpm-noX.a  (static lib, X11-free)
- /usr/bin/cygXpm-noX4.dll   (dll, X11-free)
- /usr/include/noX/xpm.h, simx.h
 (specially-hacked versions of the xpm header files)
- cygwin-specific docs in /usr/doc/Cygwin/xpm-nox-4.2.0.README
- generic docs in /usr/doc/xpm-nox-4.2.0/*

So ordinarily, configure-based clients will find the cygwin-xfree
versions of the header files and libraries: xpm-nox "hides" itself in
a /noX/ subdirectory to avoid conflicts.  To use the xpm-nox headers
and libraries, you must
a) use -I/usr/include/noX when compiling
b) define -DXPM_NO_X when compiling (or "FOR_MSW")
c) use -L/usr/lib/noX when linking
For configure-based clients, this may require
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/noX -DXPM_NO_X"
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/noX
./configure

o The dll's are versioned as "4", not "3" -- but this is NOT because
the sources came from XFree86- ***4*** .0.0.  According to xpm.h, the
library version number, which remains "3.4k" even in the
XFree86-4.x.y sources, should be parsed as follows:
 XpmFormat "3"
 XpmVersion "4"
 XpmRevision

Hmm.  We're using a nightly mirrored copy, but looking at the file's
properties, I see it dates from April 7th, 2003.  So grabbing the
snapshot might be a good idea!

I'm surprised that the latest version on the mirror site is almost 5

I just tried the 2.402 snapshot version - looked good to me.  The slow
steps in the setup process seemed to speed up by about a factor of over
10, at a rough guess!

You'd be amazed how important "responsability" is in France but yes, I've 
pointed out the lack of legal responsibility.. The thing is, it's very 
important (here, in France) to be able to say "I had nothing to do with it - 
I swear!"..

I get them.
It's obviously trying to parse them as commands, but as to why...
I filter them out.

Strange setup problem. Next button disabled.

[Steve Fairbairn]

Hi All,

I have a couple of strange setup problems which I cannot find ways around,
so was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest solutions.

The machine in question is a PIII 650MHz running a very new installation of
Win2K Pro.

During the machines installation, cygwin was installed from a local (network
drive) directory as the network Administrator user.  It was incorrectly
installed to the same network drive and subdirectory of the setup files,
using the default setup settings.

This installation was wiped from the network drive in question.  Any mention
of Cygnus was wiped from the registry.  A clean installation of cygwin was
started.

When installing as a machine administrator, but normal network user.  From
local directory (the same network drive), setup does all the md5 checks,
offers me the package list, allows me to change the
Default/Install/Reinstall/... settings, but the 'Next' button is permanently
disabled and I just can't click on it.

So, I tried download & install from the internet.  This allows me to go all
the way through, select the packages I require (set All to install, then set
X11 section back to default), and then I am able to click next.  The
installation starts.  I leave it going overnight/all day/ a few hours, and
when I return to it, it has hung in the post install scripts and if I cancel
installation there, the cygwin.bat file hasn't been created, and nothing
seems quite right.

I've cleaned cygwin off the system again, but really do need an almost full
installation of cygwin on the machine and don't know how to get it.

I have tried the setup.exe on the main page, as well as snapshots 2.402 and
2.407 with no improvement in either case (though the snapshots are faster to
respond and the handling of the post install scripts is much nicer).
The packages I have on the network drive were downloaded from
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin using a slightly
modified version of the wget script mkcygwget (can't remember who created
it) to get a complete set of packages.

Any suggestions gratefully received,

Steve.

Even worse are the newer ones, which basically say:
"This software may not work, tough. Even if it does work it may not work
properly and corrupt all your data, tough. You also agree to let us change
the software without telling you even though this may corrupt all your data.
Still tough. You don't get to complain or sue us."

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: inetutils-1.3.2-24

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of inetutils to 1.3.2-24.

This is the new inetutils package which uses the new capabilities and
therefore requires Cygwin 1.5.3 ff.

The package now adheres to the filesystem hirarchy standard (FHS).

=
  IMPORTANT NOTE:

- When updating inetutils, take care that inetd.exe and subsequent
  processes don't run anymore.

=

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.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.

Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version
of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again.
After this point it will only download what is needed.

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

Create dll using gcc

[Christian Neise]

Hello,

i am trying to build a dll using cygwin and gcc. The dll will be used
by a delpi application.

The dll works fine. But when allocating memory 
(e.g.: char *c = new char) the programm crashes.

When compiling the dll with visual c++ 6.0 SP5 the dll works fine -
even if allocating memory.

Any hints? 

Best regards,

Christian Neise

P.S.:

I createdthe dll the following way:
gcc  -c dll_test.cpp -o debug/dll_test.o
gcc   -shared -o debug/dll_test.dll \
-L/usr/lib \
-Wl,--export-all-symbols \
-Wl,--enable-auto-import \
-Wl,--whole-archive debug/dll_test.o \
-L/usr/lib \
-Wl,--no-whole-archive -lc -lstdc++


testdll.h:

#include 

 extern "C" {
  __declspec( dllexport ) BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,
DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved
 );
 }




testdll.cpp:

#include "dll_test.h"

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,
   DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
   LPVOID lpReserved
 )
{
switch (ul_reason_for_call)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
}
return TRUE;
}

package submission

[Thomas Wolff]

Hello,
I'd like to propose my text mode editor mined for a cygwin package;
among other benefits it provides extensive UTF-8 and CJK support.
Its homepage is http://towo.net/mined/.
As cygwin is hosted/maintained at RedHat, I'd also like to propose 
it to become a RedHat package, too.

I'd appreciate your response,
thanks and kind regards,
Thomas Wolff

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygrunsrv-0.96-2

[Corinna Vinschen]

I have updated cygrunsrv to version 0.96-2.

This cygrunsrv now uses the new capabilities and therefore requires
Cygwin 1.5.3 ff.

It adds an --interactive command line parameter which allows to
set the "Allow service to interact with desktop" flag.

The package now adheres to the filesystem hirarchy standard (FHS).


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.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.

Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version
of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again.
After this point it will only download what is needed.

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

The above seems to imply that you either:

1. did not install the cygipc package
2. do not have "/usr/local/bin" in your PATH

Note the current PostgreSQL package still requires a version of cygipc
that is *not* installed by Cygwin's setup.exe:

or (if the above is still down):

Newby: setting up SSH

[Nadia Kunkov]

Hi, I'm new to SSH.  I've just installed Cygwin on my Win2000 workstation.
My goal is to connect to it from Linux box and copy files from Linux to
Win2000.  I can connect to my windows box from Linux and browse the
directories.  But I need to set up and automated file transfer and therefore public 
and private keys.
I think my set up is not complete/correct.
When I run ssh localhost on my win2k  I see a message:
Cannot create directory /cygdrive/h/username: no such file or dir
Well it's looking at h drive and I need it to look at c drive.  Where do I change 
that?  Also, the authorized_keys file should reside in my home
directory, will that be /cygdirve/c/username/.ssh?
It also says that user name or group hasn't been setup correctly.  What
should I do to set it all up?
Thanks in advance.
N.K.

Run "cygcheck yourprog.exe".  This should show you all the DLLs that your
program expects to find at runtime.

It is generally recommended that you use setup.exe to install Cygwin on
the machines you'll be running Cygwin programs on, rather than copy the
files by hand.  If you feel adventurous, you could try compiling your
program using MinGW, by adding a "-mno-cygwin" flag to gcc, but be aware
that you won't be getting full POSIX emulation (in particular, if your
program uses shared memory, you'll *have* to use Cygwin, AFAIK).

malloc segfaults

[Juergen Bohn]

Tested with cygwin1.dll 1.5.3-1 and 1.3.22-1 on Win2000-SP4, malloc() does 
not (always)
return NULL if there is no more memory available.  Try, for example, simple 
loops like:

  x = malloc(1);
  for (i=0; x != NULL; i++)
  {
  x = malloc(1);
  if (x == NULL)printf("x is NULL\n");
  }
My application terminates with a segmentation violation, but all attempts 
to handle this by signal() or atexit() fail.  Unfortunately, also sysconf() 
does not work to get the number of available pages (_SC_AVPHYS_PAGES, I get 
always the same but wrong value).

While testing, I detected that errno is set to 12 ("Not enough memory") 
after enough iterations through the for-loop above, while variable x still 
is not zero.  But still my application crashes even when I break the loop 
at errno!=0.

Is there any secure way to find out, how much memory is available (or hope 
that the malloc() problems will be solved)?

Many thanks,
Juergen

That was "type -a ls; /bin/ls" (literally).  But the above already

Ok, so it works -- see?  BTW, now that you have "cygcheck.out" in your
home directory, you should see it using plain "ls".

So, the "ls" problem is a non-issue, I guess.  The cygcheck output
confirms that you don't have "less" and "more" installed - install these
packages if you want to use those commands.

The DLL you created will require cygwin1.dll as its C runtime library.
The Delphi application most likely uses MSVCRT.DLL as it's C runtime.
It's not a good idea to mix the two runtimes (in fact, that's the most
likely reason for the crashes).  If you want to use your DLL with Delphi,
you could compile it using MinGW (by passing the "-mno-cygwin" option to
gcc), but you won't get full POSIX emulation that way.

RE: Need help: cron jobs can't access network drives.

[Louis-Luc Le Guerrier]

Hello,
I have tried Universal Name Convention path as well, and I still can't
access the network drives, even with UNC paths inside the script ran by
'cron'. The same script invoked  manually accesses net drives of course.

I have looked at "www.denicomp.com/faq.htm#Q21" and understand partially
what they mean to do, but they don't explicitly explain how to perform
the tasks in Windows.

I also noticed the 'id' command on the Cygwin shell gives "Administrator"
as user name when invoked manually. I also included 'id > tstfile' into
a 'cron' job to send the output of 'id' while in a cron, and it also
states "Administrator" is the user. I set up a password to the Windows
Administrator account, and it's the one I log in. cron still fails to
access network drives even though Administrator has a password and
I'm trying it with UNC paths. 

I'm still puzzled, and stuck unable to access network drives.

Anyone can share a clearer procedure of what to do, or an example?

Thanks in advance.

Louis-Luc

Cygwin is indeed hosted by RedHat.  It is, however, maintained by
volunteers, not all of whom are even affiliated with RedHat.  If you wish
to propose a RedHat package, you should go through the appropriate RedHat
channels (search the RedHat homepage for information, or, perhaps, some
of the RedHat employees who volunteer to maintain Cygwin can provide a
link).

Please take a look at the Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide for information
on how to propose a package for inclusion in the Cygwin net distribution. You
can find it here:
http://cygwin.com/setup.html

This is not the place for contributing to Red Hat Linux (I don't know
if it is even possible, BTW). 
You might want to have a look at http://www.redhat.com/software/linux/ to 
see if you find any pointers, but AFAIK it isn't possible to contribute to
the Red Hat Linux distribution (someone will correct be if I'm wrong, I hope).

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ash-20020731-3

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of ash to 20020731-3.

This ash now uses the new capabilities and therefore requires
Cygwin 1.5.3 ff.

The package now adheres to the filesystem hirarchy standard (FHS).


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

Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka
cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a
reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is
usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

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

This is an entirely different lot and has to go another channel.  This

"info" correction for french environment

[Sébastien Poirier]

Hi,

I don't think someone posted it yet,
but there is a mistake with the creation of the `dir' file in `/usr/info' 
directory, when you install Cygwin in a french environment.
In fact, the dir file that is automatically generated by update-info-dir.sh, is 
corrupted so that you can't use info normally then : when you type
bash$ info
info can't find the "Top" node

to correct this, 2 possibilities :
 * edit your `/usr/info/dir' file
and replace the line (almost at the top)
File: dir,  Node: Top\tCeci est le haut de l'arborescence INFO
by this one (with a real tabulation and not a \t tab escape character)
File: dir,  Node: Top   Ceci est le haut de l'arborescence INFO 
then you can execute your update-info-dir.sh and everything will be ok
but if you want then to generate a new `dir' file in another info directory 
with install-info.exe, it will be corrupted too... so
 * you can modify the `texinfo.mo' file that contains the template used to 
create the `dir' file
you'll find it in /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/
edit it, search for tCeci (for example), and such as with the `dir' file, 
replace the `\t' characters by a real tabulation and add a space character 
somewhere (before Ceci or after INFO for example) to compensate the loose of 
one character.
then you can execute update-info-dir.sh if you hadn't chosen the first 
possibility

Hope this helps

Seib

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: tcsh-6.12.00-7

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of tcsh to 6.12.00-7.

This tcsh now uses the new capabilities and therefore requires
Cygwin 1.5.3 ff.

The package now adheres to the filesystem hirarchy standard (FHS).


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 general 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.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: patch-2.5.8-7

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of patch to 2.5.8-7.

This version reenables the --binary command line option for Cygwin.
When used, all input and patch files are forcibly read in binary
mode.  The standard is to read them in textmode.  The option does
not affect writing files.  Output files are alwasy written in
binary mode.

This patch now uses the new capabilities and therefore requires
Cygwin 1.5.3 ff.

The package now adheres to the filesystem hirarchy standard (FHS).

to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a
reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is
usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then

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.

1.5.3 and 1.3.22: malloc segfault

[roconnor]

The following program segfaults for me on XP Pro SP1 with both 1.3.22-1 and
1.5.3-1, but not on NT 4.0 with 1.3.22-1.

-
#include 

int
main()
{
  while (malloc (15*1024*1024))
;
  return 0;
}

A stack trace from this morning's cvs version and cygcheck output are

Corinna,

There is a minor problem with the latest bash: it duplicates the last
literal character of the prompt or the last character of the entered
command upon redraw.  To duplicate, "export PS1='\[\033[32m\033[0m\]$'"
(you should see the prompt as '$$'), then enter any word and press ^L to
redraw (you should see the last character of that word duplicated, and
the prompt becomes '$').  If the last character of the prompt is not a
literal character (e.g., if you append '\[\]' to PS1) the last prompt
character duplication problem goes away, but the last character of the
command is still duplicated upon redraw.

I'm hoping it's something simple.  If you don't know right away what the
problem is, or can't replicate it, let me know and I'll provide more
debugging info.  I'm using cygwin-1.5.3-1 and bash-2.05b-12.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin Package: postgresql-7.3.4-2

[Jason Tishler]

New News:
=== 
I have updated the version of PostgreSQL to 7.3.4-2.  The tarballs should
be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly.

Note this package was built against Cygwin 1.5.2-1 and cygipc 2.01-2.
Hence, it *is* an official 64-bit, Cygwin 1.5.x package.

Additionally, note cygipc 2.01-2 is now an official Cygwin package but
still marked "test".  Until cygipc 2.01-2 is marked current, you must
select "Exp" in the Cygwin setup.exe "Select Packages" dialog to install
this *required* package.

Old News:
=== 
PostgreSQL is an open-source, Object-Relational DBMS.  If interested,
see the PostgreSQL web site for more details:

http://www.postgresql.org/

Please read the README file:

/usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.3.4.README

since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc.

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.

Note that we have recently stopped downloads from sources.redhat.com
(aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will
need to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US,
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/
is usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your
system and will install newer packages automatically.

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

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin Package: proftpd-1.2.9rc1-3

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin Package: rebase-2.2-3

[Jason Tishler]

New News:
=== 
I have updated the version of rebase to 2.2-3.  The tarballs should
be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly.

Note this package was built against Cygwin 1.5.2-1.  Hence, it *is* an
official 64-bit, Cygwin 1.5.x package.

Old News:
=== 

It is *strongly* recommended that users only use rebaseall unless they
*really* know what they are doing or are instructed by one of the Cygwin
developers.


The Cygwin rebase package contains two utilities, rebase and rebaseall.
The first utility is modeled after Microsoft's SDK rebase:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/tools/perfutil_2z39.asp

The rebaseall utility is a convenient way for users that suffer from the
Cygwin rebase problem to rebase their entire system (i.e., all of their
DLLs).

Note that rebaseall is only a stop-gap measure.  Eventually the rebase
functionality will be added to Cygwin's setup.exe, so that rebasing will
happen automatically.

Please read the README file:

/usr/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.2.README

since it covers requirements, usage, known issues, etc.

I would like to thank Ralf Habacker for providing the imagehelper
library.  This library has enabled me to create a rebase utility that is
usable by all Cygwin user (regardless of platform) on all DLLs
(regardless of stripping).

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.

But it shouldn't be neccessary to avoid CR/LF line endings.

You have exactly the 5.8.0-5 release.  Really interesting.

I don't need to set PERLIO and get no CR/LF line endings.
Can you try if it makes a difference if you set CYGWIN in
your global environment like I do, though at least binmode
and ntsec are on by default?

You mean, aside from the fact that you aren't using Cygwin's "strings"?
MinGW programs aren't aware of Cygwin mounts.  I suspect you're using
MinGW gcc as well.

Igor,
  Of course.  I just started a new shell and things seem to be working
correctly now.  I must have changed some define that got things
confused.

Re: suggestion for postgresql doc

Hi Jason,

Jason Tishler writes:

I think I've used chmod a+rw (there might be a more secure way to deal
with this issue, though). I'm on vacation and my Cygwin setup is
at work so I have to apologize that I can't check right now. The
original permissions were from a fresh Cygwin installation that I
did in the last week of August. When using the original permissions,
postmaster refused to start with no trace of a log file which appears
a bit obscure to the unsuspecting user.

The /tmp and /usr/bin permission comments indeed refer to issue #4 in
your documentation. I had to change these as suggested, otherwise
initdb would return an error.

Hope this helps

Markus
