Yes, I prefer the cygwin list for follow-ups.

Unfortunatley I had the same result. I was able to compile it out of the box, but it 
ignores any parameter. I have not investigated further. You might have a look at 
cadaver. This compiles also OOTB, but needs the mod_dav of apache2. For me it refuses 
the connection, since we still have an apache1 running.

Regards,
Jörg

Igor is saying that since 'top' can find the CPU capacity, you just need to
look at the source of top (in procps) to find out how to do it.

Please try to upgrade to 5.8.0-5 at first.  There are good chances that the
binmode bug fixed in 5.8.0-5 resolves this problem.

Thanks.  I could reproduce this on a SAMBA share.  I guess this will
be fixed in the next Cygwin release.

Cygwin on external drive?

[Zeilhofer, Peter]

Servus to all,
I moved a complete perfectly working Cygwin-configuration with Apache and SSL from 
C:\cygwin to F.\cygwin an external 40GB disk drive (connected via USB) and tried to 
get it running, but it will not work. I must say that I have expected problems. Should 
this be possible after a straight installation on an external drive from the beginning?
I think I found a hint in some faq that installation on C:\cygwin is not mandatory. 
Thanks in advance :-)

You must change your mount points to use the new Windows paths instead of
the old ones.  Use mount and umount.  Perhaps you have to cd into the
new bin directory first and call ./mount instead of just mount.

Re: Find: missing alphabetically last - more FAITH to tell about

[Ralph Ulrich]

The tree of the alphabetically last directory will
not be listed by find on my W2k sp3 Computer.

This should be fixed in tonight's snapshot.
This such fundamental bug is astonishing:
How many tools sitting upon correct work of find!
... And no one has told about here for so long?
Over a year ago in "de.alt.comp.cygwin+co"
i wanted to discuss this bug. But no one respondet.
Thinking me was the only one, i built my own updatedb
like "cmd /c dir /S/B/A C:|sed -e's#\(.\):#/\1#'|tr \\ /"
... need to have more FAITH to tell about in this place!

No joy :(

Still looks the same (accented chars rather than line art) with
TERM=rxvt-cygwin-native regardless of whether I have codepage:oem set or
not.

Are there any config files I could attach that would help debug this? I
haven't, AFAIK, messed with my terminfo at all.

Cheers,

Andrew.

General help in bash, for installed (cygwin/Linux/GNU) commands:

RE: Diff information

[guenter strubinsky]

Most if not all text files in cygwin and Linux/Unix are -not surprisingly-
in the unix/linux text format which means that as opposed to windooze a line
is terminated with a single LF, apple uses a single CR and win uses CR/LF.
Notepad does not understand the unix format and shows all text on one line.

Use vim aka vi or wordpad or one of the excellent open source programmers-
editors like JEdit ( sourceforge.net/projects/jedit/ ) and you will be able
to decipher the textiles.

cygwin bash 2.05b patches and "rebash" a debugger for bash (http://bashdb.sourceforge.net)

[R. Bernstein]

I've been working on a modified version of bash 2.05b which has better
support for error reporting and debugging (it also has a timestamped
history). It also has a somewhat complete debugger modeled off of gdb
using the additional support. See http://bashdb.sourceforge.net for info.

I've noticed that the sources to bash 2.05b (say in
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash) don't compile for cygwin without some
modification. I'd like to get the cygwin patches that should be
applied to 2.05b (i.e. don't mess up other architectures) into the
rebash/bashdb package. 

Thoughts and suggestions?

Andrew,

You also have to make sure the font you set up rxvt with actually has
those characters...  Unfortunately, as I don't normally use rxvt, I'm not
the best person to tell you which fonts to use.

Hi,

I have installed WinGate client on my windows2000 machine and all

Re: Problems with accented characters in Cygwin

Since this referred to my replies, I should mention that newer versions of
Cygwin should allow pasting accented characters (sans the accents) to

Sounds like you haven't configured WinGate to open the TCP/UDP needed to 
run.  ssh is TCP port 22.  I'm guessing this handles scp too.  No clue 
what the issue is with startx.  You can check the xfree list about that 
if it's truly something Cygwin/X related.  Best bet is to check the docs
first though.

No one had the inclination to check it out, actually.  I was bored

that was broken, so I looked into it.

Hi,

I have no problem in TCP/UDP setting problem on server. if i disable the

I can run internet from client machine without WinGate client. In this
scenario ssh or scp command works without client on my machine. But does

Removing the same file from two consoles

Here is some program which was invocated on two consoles.


The program behavior is different on

   and
 * Mingw on the other hand
 environments.


Which is right/correct/preferable?

  for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) printf ("%s ", argv[i]);
  printf ("\n");

  errno = 0;
  rc = access (argv[1], F_OK);
  printf ("access : rc = %d; errno = %u (%s)\n", rc, errno, strerror(errno));

  errno = 0;
  rc = remove (argv[1]);
  printf ("remove : rc = %d; errno = %u (%s)\n", rc, errno, strerror(errno));

Thanks.

http://www.cygwin.com/packages/procps/procps-010801-1-src
contains _list_ of procps' sources (including top.c and top.h) :
Sun Jan 14 10:40:14 2001  45360 procps-010801/top.c
Sun Jan 14 10:41:29 2001   7242 procps-010801/top.h

Where can one get the sources themselves ?
http://www.cygwin.com/packages/procps/procps-010801/top.c
and
http://www.cygwin.com/packages/procps/procps-010801/top.h
don't exist.

Why is the above "/c/cygwin/startup.py" and not "/startup.py" as you

I cannot explain the above behavior.

FWIW, the following works:

$ cat /tmp/.pythonrc.py
print '*** startup executed ***'
$ PYTHONSTARTUP=/tmp/.pythonrc.py python
Python 2.3 (#1, Aug  5 2003, 09:49:11)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
*** startup executed ***
>>>

BTW, I just noticed that you are using Cygwin Python 2.3-1.  Does 2.3-2
work any better?  The two packages are identical except for 32- vs.
64-bit, but maybe this is the difference?

Re: Cygwin doesn't show .. in all directories

[David O'Shea]

Hi all,

Can anyone comment on these diffs?  Apart from being messy and not
properly formatted at the moment and having way too many calls to
syscall_printf(), are they okay?

Also, where it says "/* FIXME: what is supposed to happen if lasterr
== ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES??? */", I am wondering if I noticed a bug, in
that if lasterr happened to have that value (which it might never have
with current versions of Windows - Windows XP at least seems to return
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND if the directory is emtpy which is conceptually
the same situation as "no more files" when you're trying to find the
first entry) then the code would fall through to the "/* We get here
if `buf' contains valid data.  */" code, but I don't think buf WOULD
have valid data.

>>>
   WIN32_FIND_DATA buf;

I tried to install 2.3.2 and got "The procedure entry point __getreent
could not
be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll", so I went back to
2.3.1. In 
any case, this is a standard PIV-based PC, no 64-bit here.

Now if only cygwin had an equivalent of Solaris truss; it might give us
a clue.

You download the source of the package using setup.exe.  Run
setup, and when it gets to the "Select Packages" dialog find
the procps package and tick the little square box under the

Please try to upgrade to 5.8.0-5 at first. There are good chances that

Thanks that did the trick. Also caused me to finally update to 1.5.3.

Ahh... :?-[ - I'm taking things for granted.

In short:
 I have all the latest _binary_ packages installed, plus the cygwin1.dll
snapshot from 2003-09-11. setup-2.415.exe used for the most recent updates,
the last one just yesterday or so (I got the new 'prolog' package).

 The installation was initially done on Windows 98SE (which resides on C:)
but has since then been "mount'ed" and updated under "Win2K Advanced Server
w SP5" (I think!?) - SP *later* than SP4 for sure.

After the previous posting I've been playing with:

$ strace -dno find.strace find /cygdrive/p -type d >find-p.txt
(P: is the CD-ROM drive)

... searching and grep'ing through the result... But as I lack knowledge
about cygwin internals (and windows too for that matter :-7) I'm mostly at a
loss finding anything useful. I suspect knowledge of "find" internals would
help too.
 The strace output file is huge... as one can expect (find'ing a CD):

The interesting "/cygdrive/p/Samples" occurs at just a few places:

connection sharing" in Windows? (The other WinGate stuff can be substituted
by cygwin stuff, I think - am I right?)

Just to satisfy my curiosity, how come codepage:oem can find the right
characters when you're in a Windows console but not when you're in an rxvt
window? Is it Windows' fault?

I don't really use rxvt but I'd like to cover the issue in the
cygwin-specific readme for tetrix...

But you don't mind 'distributing' them in a publically archived mailing
list? Brave man :-O

Would you object to that link being mentioned in the above-mentioned
readme?

Someone once told me you can't copyright a font (under US law at least)
because that would give you copyright over things written *in* that font,
but I always suspected it was BS and of course IANAL.

resizing setup.exe window

[Sam Steingold]

this appears to be a recurring question without a good answer: why
can't we resize the setup.exe window (helpful for package selection)?
 &c.

is it possible to add the _official_ answer to the FAQ
?

thanks.

Can I see an ls -lan output for this?  What I'm looking for is that the
link count for '.' is equal to the number of directories on the cd,
including '.' itself.

The first number on the "." line is "5"... You indicate that this should be
"6" instead...  Would this be a more "normal" situation?

In general:
If it "should" be "6"; I wonder whether this should be considered a "copy
preventive measure" (a mild one) or maybe a CD-writer-software "bug"...

Then; should "find" stumble on this; a bug or feature? ;-)

[Editor of PoliSource]

Or, you could just install it.  setup.exe does not install everything by 
default.
The list of programs that I got during my update yesterday was too long to 
read through, and there was nothing under man. Just now, I tried the "Search 
Package List" tool and searched for "man", which returned 511 results, but 
searching for "man pages" returned cygwin-doc at the top of the list. 
Installing with the "Bi..." box checked didn't work, but then I tried with 
"Bi..." and "Sr..." checked, and it worked.

Thanks,
Barry

win2k "resource" exhaustion problem - no Cygwin programs will run

[james pentland]

dear Cygwin developers:

i have a bash script which apparently causes an
exhaustion of system resources.
which "resources" i am unclear about - it does not
seem to be memory.

the consequences of running it, at a minimum, are that

1) the script fails at some point,
2) no further Cygwin executables will run,
3) dialout to an internet service provider fails,
4) a number of non-Cygwin executables do not operate
properly.

below is a simple script which will make the problem
happen and a partial transcript of a Cygwin console
session where it is invoked.

do you have any ideas on this issue?

The source does not contain patches or diffs. Are there patches stored
separately from source? What happens when a new release comes out?
(Debian patches are nicely bundled for each particular problem and can
be installed and uninstalled separately)

I can do a "diff -Naur" to get the diffs and try to sort out which
ones are specific to cygwin as opposed to general patches such as
those found in bash public patches, I was hoping however for maybe
some coordination here.

OK, so I upgraded everything and now with python 2.3.2 it works. Weird.

However, following up on my own suggestion re. truss, I found about
strace and wanted to try it but:

Is this a known issue? It's not mentioned in python-2.3.README, at any rate.

bash.exe doesn't launch correctly

[Robert Sample]

Dear Cygwin Developers:

I have downloaded and installed version 1.5.3-1 on two different Windows 
XP SP1 machines.  All was working correctly.  However, after installing 
the patch from Microsoft to plug the hole(s) that created RPC problems, 
I now cannot  launch a Bash shell.

On clicking the Cygwin icon, a shell appears for about one second and 
then is  dismissed.  Sometimes a cmd.exe process is left running  and 
sometimes it is not.

Since my laptop has not development environment other than the GNU 
goodies supplied by Cygwin, I am unable to debug to try and isolate the 
problem.

Has anyone else noticed this problem after  installing the RPC patch 
from Microsoft?

Regards,
Robert Sample

ctrl-c in rxvt

[Patrick Peralta]

Hello list,

I installed Cygwin a few days ago on Windows XP along with rxvt
2.7.10.  It works great except for ctrl-c when trying to break
out of certain programs (such as ping).  It works under the
regular DOS-window bash but it is ignored under rxvt.  This also
happens if I sssh into the box.  Am I missing a configuration
somewhere?

Thanks,

Re: bash.exe doesn't launch correctly

Dear Cygwin Developers:

I have downloaded and installed version 1.5.3-1 on two different 
Windows XP SP1 machines.  All was working correctly.  However, after 
installing the patch from Microsoft to plug the hole(s) that created 
RPC problems, I now cannot  launch a Bash shell.

On clicking the Cygwin icon, a shell appears for about one second and 
then is  dismissed.  Sometimes a cmd.exe process is left running  and 
sometimes it is not.

Since my laptop has not development environment other than the GNU 
goodies supplied by Cygwin, I am unable to debug to try and isolate 
the problem.

Has anyone else noticed this problem after  installing the RPC patch 
from Microsoft?

What happens when you start a cmd.exe shell then type in 
C:\Cygwin\bin\bash --login -i?

Re: win2k "resource" exhaustion problem - no Cygwin programs will run

It looks like a problem several people are experimenting.
Lately, someone exposed a link between this problem and Agnitum Outpost
(a firewall) that seems to forget to free some resources. This sounds
plausible, from my point of view, as I also have Outpost and I'm
experimenting this problem.

[BTW, Rampage was evoked as a possible workaround, but it had no
positive effect on my system.]

Re: Can't start network utilities in cygwin with WinGate client

[Larry Hall]

Well, it sounds to me like the WinGate client is certainly the problem then.
I'd recommend searching the WinGate site for answers and/or contacting them.

Native windows apps could have a problem with CTRL-C.  Cygwin apps
work fine.  There is no workaround for this.

File name completion in bash completes to .lnk

[Andrew DeFaria]

In Cygwin 1.5.3 when doing filename completion with the tab character 
bash completes a symlink all the way to the .lnk:

$ ls symlinked_fi

yields

$ ls symlinked_file.lnk

Yes, sorry, I meant from cmd.

Well, I have a theory on why this is happening and have checked in a change

Using ctrl-c with ping, however, worked fine (for me, anyway) on 1.3.x. I just
noticed this a couple of days ago with 1.5.3 when I ran a 'ping -t' command
then couldn't stop it. No change with the 9/10 snapshot. Was I just lucky
before?

Since there are just two or three developers in cygwin, and no one else
seems willing to pitch in to debug problems like this, I suppose that luck
is as good an explanation as any.

We can't get decent bug reports without begging, so, just feel lucky
that the system works at all.

I guess start with the standard stuff like the cygcheck info.  Maybe try
running this with 'strace' and look at the results.  Send anything strange
along.  'ls -l symlinked_file' might be helpful as well.  FWIW, I tried
this too with 1.5.3 and I'm in Chris's camp (although I have to say I'm
a throw-back that still uses 'nowinsymlinks' when I'm not running the
above test. ;-) )

Not exactly sure how to strace this. It's not like I'm running another 
process, rather I'm just hitting the tab key in bash. I tried strace 
bash then, after tons of probably uninteresting output I start my "test" 
by typing ls sym then tab. Nothing happens.

Send anything strange along. 'ls -l symlinked_file' might be helpful 
as well. 
Well it's just a symlink to /etc/passwd:

$ ls -l symlinked_file
lrwxrwxrwx1 adefaria Domain U  115 Sep 11 18:51 symlinked_file 
-> /etc/passwd

Re: cygwin doesn't show .. in all directories

Yes, I do have an email problem, my inability to keep up with all the
email I get!  Since the replies I'd gotten had been sent directly to
me I thought that was the custom on this list and didn't bother to
check the backlog for other replies.

My question still stands: what is supposed to happen in readdir() if
dir->__handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE && dir->__d_position == 0 and
then handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE && lasterr == ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES?

Ah, duh. Sorry I should have thought of that. I guess I have 
sufficiently hidden the fact that my home directory is on a mount point! 
Even from myself :-)

Actually I'm not sure if I would have made the connection - I do vaguely 
recall something about .lnk's showing up on network paths.

Thanks for the quick diagnosis and impending fix.

Well, let me see what I can do...

Syslog daemon (yes, I read the archives)

[David O'Shea]

Hi all,

>From reading the archives there seem to be some requests from people
to have the ability to use a syslog daemon instead of the Windows
Event Log or C:\CYGWIN_SYSLOG.TXT for syslog output.  I would also
like that.

I would like to try to implement this so that a registry flag controls
whether the current method is used or whether to try and talk to the
local syslog daemon.

Is there any reason to not do this?  If I don't hear back from here I
guess I'll try and get on the -developers mailing list and see what
they say.

Regards,
David

The offer is very much appreciated but I think I have fixed this.  It was
quite a difficult problem to track down, too...

Maybe next time.

All of the developers read this mailing list.  If you want to contribute
something, you should look at the contributing link at the cygwin web site
and you'll need to send in an assignment for any patch that you provide.

I don't have any opinion one way or the other on this.  I guess I'd have
to see the implemenation.
