Re: Using authentication under Apache for Cygwin

[Stipe Tolj]

> I would tend to agree except this config worked with Apache for Windows.

which does not mean that Apache for Cygwin acts the same way as the
native Win32 counterpart.

I'm not sure if you can use network resource location that way as you
can in Apache for Windows. I would guess not.

Re: *** unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size 0, Win32 error 0

[Ronald van Gogh]

First of all, sorry, but I didn't know how to post a reply, since I'm 
registered on the mailinglist in digestmode.

As I've told before we're collecting information on a dominoserver every 10 
minutes by running a bash script (cygwin) scheduled by Windows Scheduler 
(Splinterware). We noticed that sometimes (once or twice a day) this failed. 
To check the cause we created a new small shell script, which only writes a 
date and time to a file. Furthermore, to catch any stdout/stderr messages, 
we called the script by a batch file. The sources of both programs are 
described below.

schedule_chk.bat

@echo off
d:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i 
"d:/Lotus/Domino/Data/StatCollect/bin/schedule_chk.sh" 
>>d:\cygwin\tmp\schk.txt 2>&1

schedule_chk.sh
---
#!/usr/bin/ksh
echo $(date) >> /tmp/schedule_chk.log
This generated the following outputfiles (the file schk.txt contains the 
errors):

As you can see the log file sometimes contains gaps and errormessages are

I've attached a cygcheck.out file for more information.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: docbook-xsl-1.62.3-1

[Marcel Telka]

I've updated the docbook-xsl package to version 1.62.3-1.

docbook-xsl package contains XSL stylesheets for the DocBook XML DTD 
created by Norman Walsh and others.

Note: This package is independent on the cygwin kernel, so it should 
work with both 1.3.x and 1.5.x cygwin kernel series.

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: cygwin at cygwin dot com. I would appreciate it if you 
would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

Files in /etc missing after new install

[BUEHL,REINER (HP-Germany,ex1)]

Hi all,

I just installed cygwin (Setup.exe v2.415). The installation went fine, no
errors, but all the files that should have been created during the
postinstall step are missing. There is no /etc/profile, no /etc/passwd, no
/etc/group and so on.
Can anybody help me to fix this? I already reinstalled twice... :-(

Best regards,
Reiner.

tar it up on one machine, untar it on the other machine.  cp doesn't
keep shortcuts.

Hi, Chee,

Great to hear from you.

I'm redirecting this reply to the general Cygwin list, mostly to get this
into the archives (because I know others are having this same problem).
Also, this brings your question up before a large body of expertise --
perhaps someone else will find something I've missed.

This is not a bug, but rather an artifact of the default permissions files
get when written by Windows programs.  Gvim is a pure Windows program, in
contrast with vim, which is a Cygwin one.  Also, vim writes files
in-place, whereas gvim creates a new copy -- hence the change in
permissions.  Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can easily do to fix
this.  I have a script (attached) that I run periodically on my system to
fix the executable permissions.  It's not foolproof, but it's better than
nothing (and it should err on the conservative side).
Igor

What "updated" mmap are you talking about, your's or the one in CVS?

g++-2 causes a segmentation fault

[James Begley]

Hi,

I have an application that segfaults when I run it, if its compiled with gcc2 
(2.95.3-10), but will run fine it its compiled with gcc (3.3.1-2).  If I 
uninstall gcc 3.3.1-2, and install gcc 2.95.3-5 (from my archive of old set-ups) 
then the application will run fine, regardless of whether it is compiled with 
gcc or gcc2.

Searching the archives, I find that this was reported, along with a simple test 
case, on the 24th of September (see 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01533.html ).  There is no solution 
in the archives - but I note that there were no posts at all for over 5 hours 
just after that message, which suggests that there may have been a problem with 
the cygwin mailing lists and a solution has been posted, but lost.

The output from cygcheck -svr is attached.

Is is possible to get gcc2 and the latest gcc to reside happily on the machine?

Thanks for any help,
James.

RE: Files in /etc missing after new install

[BUEHL,REINER (HP-Germany,ex1)]

If I run /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.done from bash promt I get the
following error messages:

/bin/uname: not found
/bin/cygpath: not found
Unknown system type ; exiting

PATH is set to /bin:/usr/bin and "ls /bin" shows that uname.exe and
cygpath.exe exist there. All files in /etc/postinstall have the .done
extension and base-files package has been installed. Any ideas?

Best regards,
Reiner.

Reiner,

Please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines at
, especially the bit about attaching (as
an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr".

This is good advice but isn't this the usual confusion between "download"
and "install" in setup?

RE: Files in /etc missing after new install

[BUEHL,REINER (HP-Germany,ex1)]

/etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh.done worked, both other scripts
mentioned had errors:

/bin/uname: not found
/bin/cygpath: not found
Unknown system type ; exiting

and

/bin/mkpasswd: not found
/bin/mkgroup: not found

Even though all files exist in /bin (with .exe ending). It seems to be a
permission problem of some kind because if I do a ls -l in /etc I see this:

bash-2.05b$ ls -l /etc

The cygcheck output would have shown these packages as not installed if
this were the case.  It would also show the information about mounts,
users, etc.  I was about to ask a whole bunch of questions, but then
realized that the cygcheck output will contain the answers for most of
them, hence the advice.

FWIW, it doesn't look like a download vs install issue, since the original
poster did say that the files exist in /bin.  It's more likely a
permission problem.

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp

[Chunyu Liu]

Igor,

Thank you for the help.

I tried to follow your instruction, but no luck to get it work.
1. cron_diagnosis.sh does not find any problem.
2. the cygcheck is attached.
3. The only error message I got is:
$ cygrunsrv --start cron
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
4. cron.log is fine.

[1732] cron started
[1652] cron started
[1920] cron started
[3668] cron started
[264] cron started
[3668] cron started
[2284] cron started
5. cron from the command line  looks fine, does not report any error, 
but does not start the service either.

6. How to get the SYSTEM-owned shell?

I've spent hours trying to find the answer to all the problems in the 
sea of questions & answers, and can't make it.
It's really a headache.

Chunyu

Would you mind helping me?
I have tried
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
cygrunsrv -S cron
and set /var/run/cron.pid to a+rw,

At the "-S cron" step, I can even see the new record in the log file at
/var/log, saying
[1652] cron started
But cygwin pompts:
"cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started."
And "ps" does not show job of cron running. The cron does not do any
scheduled work either.
I checked Windows Services control panel, the cron is associated with
cygrunsrv there. But whenever it's "started", it stopped immediately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there any information in the log on why the cron program couldn't run?
Can you run cron from the command line?  ...From a SYSTEM-owned shell?
Did you search the list archives for a similar problem?  Did you run Mark

RE: Files in /etc missing after new install

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Reiner,

Yes, it certainly does look like a permission issue (as I guessed in my
reply to CGF -- I should learn to read all the messages in the thread
before replying).  Since you said you've already reinstalled a couple of
times, and, at a guess, are willing to do so again if needed, as the
simplest course of aciton I'd suggest removing everything under c:\cygwin
(but leaving the directory itself), changing the permissions of that
directory to something more liberal (IMO, read and execute access for at
least "Authenticated Users" or "Users", write access for the owner, and
check the "inherited by children" box), and reinstalling.

Please let the list know if this works, since this kind of problem has
cropped up from time to time, and it's good to have something definite in
the archives.
Igor
P.S. As suggested in ,
this would be a good functionality to have in setup.

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Chunyu,

Does the Windows event log contain any clues?

Cron from the command line wouldn't start a service -- it'll start the
application itself...  Which should be enough to ascertain whether your
crontab works.
The instructions for getting a system-owned shell can easily be found by
searching Google for "system-owned shell cygwin".

windows event log does contain something, but I can't understand them.
"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be found.

The documentation I directed you to explains why 'ln -s' functions as it
does and from that follows the need for 'mkshortcut'.  'ln -s' doesn't
create 'broken shortcuts'.  It creates symbolic links with UNIX semantics.  
That's the goal.  If you want/need a Windows-style shortcut with all the 
semantics that implies, use 'mkshortuct'.  Is that the point you were 
missing?


>and 'ln' (hardlink) defaulted to a target of
>"foo.exe" when the supplied target "foo" doesn't exist?  


I'm inclined to agree on this.  I think symmetry here would be a good thing.
Still, I haven't done any real investigation of this issue so I was 
withholding any bold proclamation on it.  I'm sure it fits into the 
category of  if you're inclined to 
investigate further.

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Chunyu,

The main part of the event is "cron : PID 3248 : `cron' service stopped.",
so this is not quite what you're looking for.  Are there other events from
cron around that time in the event log?  Did you look at the system log,
or the application one?

Google allows you to restrict the search to a particular domain (see
).  So, you'd search
for something like '"at /interactive" site:cygwin.com'.

How does the windows specific aspects of nice work?

[Jason House]

I did a search online and found the following message (but no reply to 
it).  Does anyone know the particulars about nice?  If it still works as 
they describe (with 2 non-normal priorities), does anyone know when it 
will allow the full range of window supported priorities?

* From: "Thomas Chadwick" 
* To: cygwin at cygwin dot com
* Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2003 14:44:37 -0500
* Subject: nice command?
* Bcc:
I got to playing around with Windows 2000 Task Manager the other day and 
discovered that you can change the priority of a running task. This led 
me to discover that you can specify the priority of a task when you 
launch it by way of the windows start command using one of the following 
options:

LOW Start application in the IDLE priority class
NORMAL Start application in the NORMAL priority class
HIGH Start application in the HIGH priority class
REALTIME Start application in the REALTIME priority class
ABOVENORMAL Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class
BELOWNORMAL Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class
WAIT Start application and wait for it to terminate
I then got to playing with nice (under Cygwin) to see what I could do 
about setting the priority of a Cygwin task. I used the following syntax 
and tried a number of values of x:

nice -n x programname.exe

I found that specify a value of x=0 results in NORMAL priority. For any 
value of x > 0, I found I got a priority of LOW. For any value of x < 0, 
I found I got a priority of HIGH.

I tried "man nice" and "info nice" and got scant documentation. I'm just 
curious if this is the expected behavior of nice? Is my analysis 
correct, or are there other values of "x" that will get me the other 
Windows priorities? FWIW, there's a Cygwin task I'd like to launch with 
AboveNormal priority.

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp

Igor,

This is a error in the application one:
"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be found. 
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or 
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be 
able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help 
and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 
cron : PID 3248 : starting service `cron' failed: execv: 1, Operation 
not permitted."

I checked system log, no error there.

For SYSTEM-owned shell, are you talking about this method?
$ at /interactive 12:19 c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i
Invalid command.
$ at /interactive 12:19 /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/bash --login -i

Dear Igor Pechtchanski,

I noticed that you've been trying discussed this problem in the forum.
But I don't know whether you had the conclusion on this.
Would you mind helping me?
I have tried
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
cygrunsrv -S cron
and set /var/run/cron.pid to a+rw,

At the "-S cron" step, I can even see the new record in the log file at
/var/log, saying
[1652] cron started
But cygwin pompts:
"cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started."
And "ps" does not show job of cron running. The cron does not do any
scheduled work either.
I checked Windows Services control panel, the cron is associated with
cygrunsrv there. But whenever it's "started", it stopped immediately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Chunyu Liu
   

Is there any information in the log on why the cron program couldn't run?
Can you run cron from the command line?  ...From a SYSTEM-owned shell?
Did you search the list archives for a similar problem?  Did you run Mark
Harig's "cron_diagnose.sh"?
Also, please read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at

I suspect it's a  situation...  The
implementation of the "nice()" syscall simply doesn't know about the
AboveNormal priority value (see winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc:2512).  There is
a more fine-grained control mechanism in the "sched_setparam()" Cygwin API
call, but the "nice" program doesn't use it.

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Chunyu,

Do you Google:
?

As for the "at" problem, you need to escape the backslashes when you're
running it from a bash shell.  So, either use

$ at /interactive 12:19 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash' --login -i

or

$ at /interactive 12:19 c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash --login -i

or run it from a command prompt.

Re: gcc-3.2: gcc driver doesn't pick up crt0.a from /usr/lib

[Doru Carastan]

This is a followup to my "gcc-3.2: gcc driver doesn't pick up crt0.a 
from /usr/lib" message.

I have found that configure sets GCC_FOR_TARGET to the cross-compiler I 
use in the root Makefile.

GCC_FOR_TARGET = i686-pc-cygwin-gcc

Then gcc/Makefile is using it to create the spec file

specs: xgcc$(exeext)
$(GCC_FOR_TARGET) -dumpspecs > tmp-specs
mv tmp-specs specs
and obviously the spec file defines:

*cross_compile:
1
which makes gcc drop /lib and /usr/lib from the 'libraries:' search path.

IMO this is wrong considering that the configure line was:

"$r/src/$gcc/configure" --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
  --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-cygwin \
  --prefix=/usr --includedir=/nonexistent/include \
  --enable-languages=c,c++ \
  --enable-threads=posix \
  --with-system-zlib \
  --enable-nls \
  --without-included-gettext \
  --disable-version-specific-runtime-libs \
  --enable-shared \
  --enable-haifa \
  --enable-interpreter
Can someone shed some light here? Why GCC_FOR_TARGET is not left as 
defined in the gcc/Makefile?

GCC_FOR_TARGET = ./xgcc -B./ -B$(build_tooldir)/bin/ -isystem 
$(build_tooldir)/include -isystem $(build_tooldir)/sys-include

TIA,

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp, final solution!

[Chunyu Liu]

Igor,

This link you gave me is the final solution.  I experienced exactly the 
same problem as Andrew described.
To make the life easier for the other followers:
1. Need to set the mode of cygwin1.dll

$ chmod +x /bin/cygwin1.dll
2. Need to create another directory 
$ mkdir /etc/cron.d
Also make it accessible, by changing the permission.
3. Then, follow the standard guideline to start cron service, as
$ cygrunsrv --stop cron
$ cygrunsrv --remove cron
$ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
$ cygrunsrv --start cron

Hopefully, this troubling problem can be solved in the next version 
cygwin setup.

But the "at" function still does not work:
$ at /interactive 12:19 c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash --login -i
Invalid command.
I tried it under DOS command envn, same error.

Anyway, the cron eventually worked. 
Many thanks for the help!

Google allows you to restrict the search to a particular domain (see

for something like '"at /interactive" site:cygwin.com'.

Cron from the command line wouldn't start a service -- it'll start the

crontab works.
The instructions for getting a system-owned shell can easily be found by
searching Google for "system-owned shell cygwin".

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp, final solution!

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Chunyu,

Just to close on the "at" issue.  You were getting "invalid command"
because you needed to put the time *before* the "/interactive".  Another
problem was that you needed to add the ".exe" to "bash".  So, a command
that just worked for me (from bash) was:

at 14:51 /interactive 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe' --login -i

FWIW, if you tried to run cron from the SYSTEM-owned shell, you should
have gotten the error about cygwin1.dll.  Hope this helps,

How install a older version of cygwin

[Fabio Tesser]

Hi all,
Anyone know if is it possible to install a older version of cygwin
(cygwin-1.3.22-1) with setup.exe?
I know that in setup.ini there is the list of all the "coerent" packages
anyone know if is it possible to donwload the setup.ini for
cygwin-1.3.22-1?

thanks in advance
Fabio

Igor,

Thank you for giving me the final solution for this problem too.
Yes. It works now.
I appreciate all the help.

Chunyu,

Just to close on the "at" issue.  You were getting "invalid command"
because you needed to put the time *before* the "/interactive".  Another
problem was that you needed to add the ".exe" to "bash".  So, a command
that just worked for me (from bash) was:
at 14:51 /interactive 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe' --login -i

FWIW, if you tried to run cron from the SYSTEM-owned shell, you should
have gotten the error about cygwin1.dll.  Hope this helps,

Igor,

This link you gave me is the final solution.  I experienced exactly the
same problem as Andrew described.
To make the life easier for the other followers:
1. Need to set the mode of cygwin1.dll
$ chmod +x /bin/cygwin1.dll
2. Need to create another directory
$ mkdir /etc/cron.d
Also make it accessible, by changing the permission.
3. Then, follow the standard guideline to start cron service, as
$ cygrunsrv --stop cron
$ cygrunsrv --remove cron
$ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
$ cygrunsrv --start cron
Hopefully, this troubling problem can be solved in the next version
cygwin setup.
But the "at" function still does not work:
$ at /interactive 12:19 c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash --login -i
Invalid command.
I tried it under DOS command envn, same error.

Anyway, the cron eventually worked.
Many thanks for the help!

Chunyu,

As for the "at" problem, you need to escape the backslashes when you're
running it from a bash shell.  So, either use
$ at /interactive 12:19 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash' --login -i

or

$ at /interactive 12:19 c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash --login -i

or run it from a command prompt.

Chunyu,

The main part of the event is "cron : PID 3248 : `cron' service stopped.",
so this is not quite what you're looking for.  Are there other events from
cron around that time in the event log?  Did you look at the system log,
or the application one?
Google allows you to restrict the search to a particular domain (see
).  So, you'd search
for something like '"at /interactive" site:cygwin.com'.

I don't know how to search "at /interactive" on "cygwin.com".  In

Cron from the command line wouldn't start a service -- it'll start the
application itself...  Which should be enough to ascertain whether your
crontab works.
The instructions for getting a system-owned shell can easily be found by
searching Google for "system-owned shell cygwin".

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: openssl-0.9.7b-1, openssl-devel-0.9.7b-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of OpenSSL to 0.9.7c-1.  This also includes the
openssl-devel package.

This is a bugfix and security update.

The Cygwin version matches the official source tree except for a minor
tweak in the top level Makefile.

=
IMPORTANT NOTE:

There will be no 0.9.6j compatibility package anymore.  The 0.9.6
package is only kept for backward compatibility of packages built
for Cygwin 1.3.x.  I strongly recommend to upgrade packages to
Cygwin 1.5.x and then automatically to OpenSSL-0.9.7c ASAP.

THIS APPLIES ESPECIALLY FOR CYGWIN DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE MAINTAINERS!
=

The official release announcement text as of today follows:

  OpenSSL version 0.9.7c and 0.9.6k released
  ==

  OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
  http://www.openssl.org/

  The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of
  version 0.9.7c of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS.  This new
  OpenSSL version is a security and bugfix release and incorporates
  changes and bugfixes to the toolkit (for a complete list see
  http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES ).

  We also release 0.9.6k, which contains the same security bugfix as
  0.9.7c and a few more small bugfixes compared to 0.9.6j.

  For more details of the security issues being fixed in this release
  please see http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20030930.txt

  The most significant changes are:

o Security: fix vulnerabilities in ASN.1 parsing
  CAN-2003-0543, CAN-2003-0544[0.9.7c & 0.9.6k] 
o Security: fix additional vulnerability in ASN.1 parsing
  CAN-2003-0545[0.9.7c]
o Only accept a client cert if the server requests one[0.9.7c & 0.9.6k] 
o Various S/MIME bug and compatibility fixes   [0.9.7c]

  We consider OpenSSL 0.9.7c to be the best version of OpenSSL available
  and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as
  soon as possible.  OpenSSL 0.9.7c is available for download via HTTP
  and FTP from the following master locations (you can find the various
  FTP mirrors under http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html):

o http://www.openssl.org/source/
o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/

  For those who want or have to stay with the 0.9.6 series of OpenSSL,
  we strongly recommend that you upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.6k as soon as
  possible.  It's available in the same location as 0.9.7c.


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 "Net"
("Devel" for the openssl-devel package) 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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .  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.

Re: How install a older version of cygwin

As it happens I did keep just about the last version of setup.ini
(cygwin-1.3.22-1) before the official move to what I guess was 1.5.2-1. The
timestamp is 1062247815 which is, dunno, mid-August or something? You can
have it if you like. I've also got all the associated *.bz2, though I don't
fancy sending too many of them winging round the net any more than you
probably want to receive them. But you're welcome to setup.ini and if the
demand was minimal I s'pose I could make a CD or something. (Yes, *.src as
well.)

Hmm. I just tried attaching the old setup.ini but it's too big to get past
the cygwin gateway. Let me know if you want it.

Re: ln and mkshortcut inconsistent in handling of .exe extension

[Matt Swift]

I am not asking for "all the semantics", just the ones that are
documented (user guide 3.5) to exist for all Cygwin symlinks.

I really don't think you understood my first report, and haven't
realized it yet.  I will make my point again in laborious detail.

That's only part of the stated goals of 'ln'.  When CYGWIN contains
"winsymlinks" (or more accurately, does not contain "nowinsymlinks"
since "winsymlinks" is the stated default), symbolic links are
supposed to function both as Cygwin symbolic link and as Windows
Shortcuts.  This is true most of the time, but it is NOT true when the
symlink target's name given to ln is the name of an executable without
its .exe extension.  In this case, the file created by ln functions as
a Cygwin symbolic link as expected but contrary to expectation does
*not* function as a Windows Shortcut.  The file created by 'ln',
considered as a Windows Shortcut, is broken.  My points are

(1) the independent documentation of how .exe extensions are handled
(user guide 3.4.3) and how symlinks are handled (3.5, 3.7.5) does
not address their conjunction, a case which does not work as
expected.  The documentation on .exe extensions says that
"install" and "strip" are the exceptions to transparent handling
of .exe extensions.  'ln' should be included, and this case should
be mentioned or cross-referenced in 3.5 and 3.7.5 as well.

(2) instead of changing documentation per (1), it is reasonable to
change the behavior of 'ln -s' so that the file it creates in the
case under discussion is not only a Cygwin symbolic link but also
a valid Windows Shortcut.  NOT a full-fledged Windows Shortcut
with icon and so on, of the kind mkshortcut creates, and the kind
which you have repeatedly mistaken me to mean -- but simply a
valid one, which points to the expected file, just like ALL the
files that 'ln -s' creates EXCEPT in the particular case that the
target's name is an executable without an .exe extension.  The
change I propose does not change how the files 'ln -s' creates
function as Cygwin symlinks; it changes how a certain small
anomalous category of files that 'ln -s' creates function as
Windows Shortcuts, in a way that brings this case into conformity
with the others it creates.  When Cygwin follows a symlink, it
examines the pathname that appears in the "Comment" field if you
examine the file as a Windows Shortcut.  When Windows follows a
shortcut, it examines the contents of the "Target" field.  'ln'
always puts the correct value in "Comment" and USUALLY puts the
correct value in "Target", but not in the case under discussion.
Wishing that 'ln' always put the right thing in both places is NOT
wishing that ln were mkshortcut, it's wishing that ln behave
consistently with all other Cygwin programs ("install" and "strip"
being the documented exceptions), which are indifferent to whether
.exe extensions are omitted or explicitly given.

L> I'm inclined to agree on this.  I think symmetry here would be a good thing.

If you agree about that, I am very sure you will agree with my other
point, once you undertsand it, because it does not even involve the
small change to Cygwin semantics that the second point does (the
second point involves a change to Cygwin semantics because you would
get no error and a hardlink in certain cases where before you got an
error; my first point suggests a change that has an effect from
Windows only, not from Cygwin).

SSH connection close when _any_ user logs out of W2K

[Matthew Hilty]

Hello,
I've noticed on a recent installation of OpenSSH under cygwin
(followed  http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.html) that users
connected to the server via SSH have their connections closed if any
Windows user logs out of the desktop. The SSHD daemon still functions,
it just closes active sessions.  After this, I can SSH back to the
server and my session stays active until I intentionally log out, or
another Windows users logs in, then out.  Any insights or references
would be wonderful; I've been combing mailing lists and usenet and can't
find a similar description.

I'm not sure if you can use network resource location that way as you

Well I can use the network resource location in the sense that the 
server does read the web pages/scripts and presents/executes them. It's

Andrew,

Could this be a text vs. binary issue?  I'm grasping at straws here...
It's good that you've moved everything to the local disk - it helps to
eliminate as many variables as possible.  Did you get an authenticated
access webpage (.html, as opposed to a CGI script) working?  Can you
initially create the user file in the directory where you're trying to set
up authentication (for testing purposes)?  Can you show the output of "ls
-la" in that directory?

at least you're the first reporting this kind of behaviour.

At a guess, your HOME is set incorrectly in Windows.
Please read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at

If you followed installation instructions for OpenSSH from another site,
then you should direct your questions about problems with OpenSSH to that
site.  tech.erdelynet.com is not cygwin.com and this list, as a result,
can't support information for it.  My best recommendation, if you'd like
someone on this list to entertain the notion of investigating your problem,
is to uninstall and reinstall OpenSSH via setup and then to configure it 
as /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh-*.README suggests.  If you still see the
same problem, you'll want to visit  first
and then follow-up with this list providing the information requested 
there.  FWIW, I just tried a quick test here and I don't see the situation
you described.  I can't say that this is significant.  Only that I can't
reproduce the problem with the information given and my Cygwin-supported
install. ;-)

A lot of the functionallity I need is just the defines.  Ex:
GL_MIRRORED_REPEAT_ARB  Here, I don't need to load any extensions.
When I do need to load extensions, having the defines for the
proper prototypes around would be nice.
1.2 and 1.3 defines & prototypes are already there in 
/usr/include/w32api/GL/glext.h

It's not hard to write new code that uses GL 1.2+ that targets only the 
Cygwin and Mingw platforms. What's hard is to port some code for UNIX that 
calls GL 1.2+ functions. You have to track each call and modify it to load 
the function first when compiled for Cygwin.

That may not fly.  As I understand it, the w32api directories are only for
headers/import libraries for DLLs that ship with MS, or at least mingw.
Old version sof the w32api package didn't provide any GL headers, so the 
OpenGL package was (and still is) creating a symlink from 
/usr/include/w32api/GL to /usr/include/GL. Then newer versions of the 
w32api package started to include GL headers in /usr/include/w32api/GL. As 
the last version of that package is newer than the last version of the 
OpenGL package, most people have the w32api headers instead of the symlink, 
but if you reinstall the OpenGL package, you will loose those headers and 
get the symlink.

So, there is a precedent for a glut.h in /usr/include/w32api/GL, in the 
form of a symlink.

Is the glut DLL -mno-cygwin safe?  Then it might work if glut became part of
mingw.
Yup. The GLUT dll does not depend on Cygwin, so compiling with -mno-cygwin 
works.


Earnie?
Yeah, Earnie, where are you?

...
BTW, I guess you're probably not interested from your previous comments
on the subject, but an Xfree based glut would be great to have.  I got a
working imake compile once without too much trouble from the Nate Robins
version.  If your still not interested in putting it in your glut package,
maybe I'll propose to maintain one for Xfree.
The problem is that an XFree GLUT could only draw using an XFree GL. And 
XFree GL does not support hardware acceleration, so it is slower by a 
factor 10 to 100 when compared to Windows'GL. That's the main reason why I 
don't think an XFree GLUT is worth the trouble.

André,

Cygwin DLL uses the autoload functionality for some of the required
functions, so that they can simply be called after a test (i.e., something
like
if (hasSomeFunction())
  callSomeFunction();
Perhaps this could be employed in the OpenGL library layer as well...  I
don't know enough off-hand about the autoloading process, but there is a
fairly detailed description in winsup/cygwin/how-autoload-works.txt in the
Cygwin sources.  Might be worth investigating...
Well, that's exactly what packages like extgl provide: an easier way to 
test if some functionality is available, and if it is, to load it and use it.

I was thinking of including extgl in the next major release of the OpenGL 
package.

However, porting UNIX program that uses GL 1.2+ functions would still be a 
pain, although a somewhat lower pain. Say you have a UNIX program with a 
line like this:

glNewFunctionThatDrawsACompleteKitchenIncludingTheSink(GL_KITCHEN_COLOR_PATTERN);

The Cygwin version would be, if we would use something like extgl:

Option A:

if (hasNewFunctionThatDrawsACompleteKitchenIncludingTheSink)
   glNewFunctionThatDrawsACompleteKitchenIncludingTheSink(GL_KITCHEN_COLOR_PATTERN);
else {
   fprintf(stderr, "Sorry, can't draw your kitchen. Please update your GL 
drivers and come again.\n");
   exit(1);
}

or, Option B:
if (hasNewFunctionThatDrawsACompleteKitchenIncludingTheSink)
   glNewFunctionThatDrawsACompleteKitchenIncludingTheSink(GL_KITCHEN_COLOR_PATTERN);
else
   myOwn2000LinesOfCodeFunction(GL_KITCHEN_COLOR_PATTERN);
There are dozens of GL 1.2+ functions now. If you select Option A, 
rewriting some program to use them conditionally can be a major task. As 
for Option B, it is a task of Herculean proportions.

So you need to coordinate with Earnie on this (as the subject says).
Yup.

You will probably also need to release the old libraries as compatibility
packages for those who still use the pre-gcc-3.3 OpenGL binaries.
So, you suggest that I provide:
libglui.a and libgluix.a for the last version of gcclibglui-gcc3_2.a and 
libgluix-gcc3_2.a for gcc 3.2
libglui-gcc2_95.a and libgluix-gcc2_95.a for gcc 2.95
???
None would be bigger than 500k, so the package would still be manageable.

Subject: RE: XFree86-bin-icons .. believe cygwin xfree86 a "red" herring
... this is I believe a cygwin problem


All,

I believe this problem relates to the items listed in

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01680.html - RE: Install gets to 99%
and then stops
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg00747.html - Setup 2.358 Hangs
During Post-Install Script

Additionally I have two separate machines, one fully updated on 26-Sep-2003
(which exhibits the problem) and one updated today that doesn't.

Differences:

1/ The 26-Sep-2003 machine uses the ** latest ** setup.exe (files labelled
machine2, doesnt_work)
2/ Today's update use the previous older version (file labelled
machine1_work)
3/ I built special private install packages for 26-Sep-2003 machine which I
have uses successfully for several months which do ** NOT ** involve
XFree86 and these packages also exhibit:

Something strange is going on here... setup.exe says "Running: No
Package /etc/postinstal/".  What is up with the "No
Package"?

My packages deal with my special problem with the password file (published
on this list), the jar command, script etc. The setup.log.full contains the
/usr/bin/bash -x dump of the /etc/postinstall/ files.
4/ When investigating, the problem in 3, I to found the 'cygpath' problem in
** my ** private packages (which as stated do ** NOT ** involve XFree86)

This leads me to believe that there is some kind of interaction between the
new setup.exe and cygpath that is causing the problem.

I am attaching both sets of setup.log, setup.log.full, and the cygcheck
output for both machines.

Also I noticed within the file setup_machine2_doesnt_work.log.full:

Re: Using authentication under Apache for Cygwin

Igor Pechtchanski wrote:

Andrew,

Could this be a text vs. binary issue? I'm grasping at straws here... 
It's good that you've moved everything to the local disk - it helps to 
eliminate as many variables as possible. Did you get an authenticated 
access webpage (.html, as opposed to a CGI script) working? Can you 
initially create the user file in the directory where you're trying to 
set up authentication (for testing purposes)? Can you show the output 
of "ls -la" in that directory?
It seems to be an issue of using a UNC path. The following works fine:


 ServerName adefaria
 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs"
#  DocumentRoot "//sonscentral/users/adefaria/www"
 
#  
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
 

#
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all



If, however, I uncomment the things like DocumentRoot, etc and comment 
out their corresponding line then it fails to work. Note that the 
directory "addbug" was simply copied over so the contents are the same. 
Text vs. binary does not seem to be the issue.

It's funny because the server itself can get html files from a UNC path 
but seems to trip up when attempting to get the .htaccess file (I guess).

Note that originally I was not using .htaccess files at all, instead I 
would code the Auth stuff directly into the  directive. But 
that wasn't working. So I switched to trying the .htaccess method. It 
seems that using .htaccess does not work if the path is a UNC path. 
Tomorrow I'll try to find out why using Auth... in the  
directive didn't work either.

To me this seems like a bug in Apache for Cygwin. Either it should 
support UNC paths fully or not at all.

Again, as I said before, when using Apache for Windows (and using UNCs 
with \\ as Windows likes) it worked fine (with the Auth stuff in 
).

Oh and the observent will not that yes I am using Virtual hosts. Perhaps 
that's another factor.

Well, I was actually thinking of the GL library having a wrapper for each
function that did the check and either called the real function or failed.
The UNIX code won't change at all, and the wrappers in your library will
initially look like Option A above.  Then whoever needs the functionality
can send you implementations of "myOwn2000LinesOfCodeFunction"s, which you
can add as you see fit.

Sure...  You could coordinate the recompile with a major release, and then
name the DLLs after the older version that each represents (e.g., see
openssl-096.dll).

Andrew,

Perhaps you could try playing with the permissions on the .htaccess file
to see if you can reproduce the problem in your local directory.  If you
manage to do that, you could see if this is a "smbntsec" issue.

Postinstall hangs with bash

[Bertalan Fodor]

I've overwritten sh.exe with bash.exe

With this setting cygpath hangs in myPostinstall.sh:

ROOT=$(cygpath -w /)

It is interesting.

Using sh it is ok.

Re: Hello and cygwin quesiton

[Yap on ExactGeom]

Dear Igor,
Nice to hear from you, and thanks for the clarification!
I understand your explanation of the difference between
gvim and vim.  But there is still a mystery.
In my previous installation of cygwin, no such problems
arise.  The difference is that my previous system was Windows 2000
and my current one is Windows XP.  Can you explain this?
Thanks,
--Chee

Dear Igor,

How are you?  I noticed that you are an active developer of cygwin.
I really liked this platform and our Core Library is developed
on this mainly.   I have a question:
In my recent (June) installation of cygwin, there was an annoying
bug -- many of the files that I create are automatically given
the execute permission.  [Since my "ls" will automatically show
me which files are executable, this is VERY annoying.]
But this behavior is not universal.  If I have a non-executable
file, and I exit it using gvim, the file will become executable.
But using vim, it remains non-executable.  But I don't think
the program is with a bad installation of gvim, because this
phenomenon shows up in other places.
Heard of this bug before?
Thanks, Chee
   

Hi, Chee,

Great to hear from you.

I'm redirecting this reply to the general Cygwin list, mostly to get this
into the archives (because I know others are having this same problem).
Also, this brings your question up before a large body of expertise --
perhaps someone else will find something I've missed.
This is not a bug, but rather an artifact of the default permissions files
get when written by Windows programs.  Gvim is a pure Windows program, in
contrast with vim, which is a Cygwin one.  Also, vim writes files
in-place, whereas gvim creates a new copy -- hence the change in
permissions.  Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can easily do to fix
this.  I have a script (attached) that I run periodically on my system to
fix the executable permissions.  It's not foolproof, but it's better than
nothing (and it should err on the conservative side).
	Igor

Re: Perl - trying to install libwin32

[Charles Owens]

Howdy,

I'm also seeing the same problem as Paul when trying to compile 
libwin32-0.191 (patched) on cygwin.  This is with both gcc 3.3.1 and gcc 
3.2 20020927 (prerelease) .

Any suggestions?  Here's what "make" is giving me (with gcc 3.2):

Re: Hello and cygwin quesiton

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Chee,

Well, there are people on this list who are more versed in Windows
permissions issues than I, and hopefully they'll intervene and either
confirm or refute my answer.  If I had to guess, I'd say this has to do
with inheritable permissions -- if a directory has an execute permission
and the flag is set that makes all files and subdirectories inherit that
permission, all your files will be marked executable.  You can try to use
the Windows permissions dialog to uncheck the "allow objects to inherit
permissions" box, and this might solve the problem.  I'm not sure why you
didn't have this problem on Win2k (I do), but it could be because of some
unique permissions setup.

Hope this helps,
Igor

Hmmm... As I said it appears to work in the local case. Or are you 
saying I should try to break that by playing with permissions? Are there 
any examples of "smbntsec" issues?

I mean I suspect that if I do something as small as remove read 
permission for other on .htaccess then the server will not be able to 
read the file thus it would break. But what would that tell me? What 
exactly am I looking for?

I may play with this as you suggest tomorrow at work. At home I don't 
use SMB for my web site - at least not yet.

As a followup to my last message,

The reason that I wanted libwin32 was to drive Word and Excel via COM. I
discovered that COM was somehow borked (didn't work properly under VB
either). I assumed that the perl compile problem was due to bitrot on
that box and I've switched to another machine, which has ActivePerl
installed on it. I'd prefer to use Cygwin's perl for CPAN and
consistency with Linux, but it's all working so I don't want to rock the
boat at the moment...
