OpenGL and cygwin

[Suresh Venkatasubramanian]

Hi all,
  I have been trying for the last few days to recreate some of the OpenGl
problems that I have been asking the list about. Fortunately (or
unfortunately, depending on one's perspective :)), I have been unable to
get the errors reproduced in a standalone form, and in fact many of my
OpenGL programs, even those that use more advanced features of OpenGL
1.3+, are working fine.

Thanks a lot to Andre, Brian and CGF for helping out.

IMO, use Windows/DOS style paths as little as possible, they're cumbersome
to use correctly to say the least. (I've not tried what you're attempting
above)

The first stone to stumble on; "\" has to be escaped when you enter it at
the bash
prompt; only enclosing your typing withing single quotes avoids this need.
You
have this problem at least with the ln -s command above.

HELP: Use "/bin/cygpath" for conversion to from DOS/Win paths.

 Mount doesn't add this, you will have to add the "mount point" yourself
if you wish it to be visible. (i.e. $ mkdir /PalmDev)

> $ ls /PalmDev
> ls: /PalmDev: No such file or directory

 Hmm? Did you $ mkdir C:\\PalmDev - as written in the mount command above?

This test ran on Win98, but should be the same on any Win:

$ mount -tf "C:\PalmDev" /PalmDev

$ echo >/PalmDev/TEST "I'm here!"

$ cat /PalmDev/TEST
I'm here!

$ ls -ld / | grep PalmDev

Cygwin-1.5.5 sscanf on floats: 20 times slower than 2 years ago

[Wayne Hayes]

Hello.  Until recently I was running W2k with an ancient version of
cygwin; I don't know what version it was, but if anybody cares I've
put a copy of cygwin1.dll (dated 2001-May-20) at

http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~wayne/tmp/cygwin1-old.dll.gz

It worked fine on W2k for the past 2.5 years.

I recently upgraded to Windows XP and this old cygwin stopped working.
No problem, I say, it's also time to upgrade cygwin, so I go install the
most recent version.

Everything works fine, except one of my I/O intensive simulations starts
running about 20 times slower!

After copious mucking about, I finally narrowed it down to sscanf: sscanf
on double precisions numbers, such as

double a;
char line [80];
fgets(line...)
sscanf(line, "%lf", &a);

runs about 20 times slower than in the old cygwin.  Replacing the sscanf
with a call to atof gets back the old speed.  It's only noticable, of
course, if you're scanning a huge file.  In my case, it's a 60MB file
that contains tens of thousands of lines of ASCII floating point numbers.

So, consider this a bug report.  A slowdown of a factor of 20 is not really
a good thing.

The output of "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" can be found at

http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~wayne/tmp/cygcheck-XP-1.5.5.out.gz

Thanks!

- Wayne

RE: No /bin directory [Executable Attachment Stripped]

[François-Denis Gonthier]

Ach! I'm sorry, I've found the culprit of my problem.

I recently installed a program which required the Cygwin toolset and I
mistakenly let the installer of that program install his own version of
Cygwin.  The mount points in the registry got changed and everything that
should have went in /bin was installed into that program Cygwin directory.

I have uninstalled that program (will reinstall it correctly later) and
reinstalled Cygwin and now everything works :)

setup 2.418 - comments

[Hannu E K Nevalainen]

1) Downloading the package list leaves text that doesn't get removed
   during the MD5 check phase.

2) Resizing of window - I LOVE IT! :-)

WRT 2:
 Resizing during the following download reveals a minor graphics
"bug"; look just *to the right* of the cygwin symbol { 'C-' in ascii
graphics) while resizing the window until the end of the text appears there.
>From this point - slowly widen the window, while keeping an eye just
slightly above where the text appeared.
 Some graphics appears at a certain width, at first sight looks like a copy
of the upper window border. I'm not sure it is though.


WRT 1:
 It seems to me that the MD5 checking is done whether it is needed or
not. This is time consuming on a slow machine. May I *suggest* the
logic to be changed to something like this:

 dl_date  = get_date_of(local_package_maindir)
 md5_date = get_date_of(MD5_LIST)

 if ( !( md5_date > dl_date ) )
   do
 for d in all_package_subdirs()
 do
   if (get_date_of(d) > md5_date)
 redo_MD5_check(d);
 done
 save(MD5_LIST)
   done


CAVEAT: I haven't CHECKED this to be FULLY TRUE:
 I've noted that running setup (2.416 at least!) with
 $ cygstart -- /install/setup.exe --no-md5
 appears to do a download of the correct packages without problems,
 even though _NOT_ doing the MD5 check.

Can we know the name of this program which required the Cygwin toolset?  I
think it's time that we started adding known offenders to the FAQ.

Exporting const variables from DLLs (GCC bug?)

[Jon Foster]

Hi,

Given this source code:
extern const int meaning_of_life __declspec(dllexport);
const int meaning_of_life __declspec(dllexport) = 42;
GCC complains:
$ c++ -g -O2 -c test.cxx -o test.o
test.cxx:2: error: external linkage required for symbol 'const int
   meaning_of_life' because of 'dllexport' attribute.
However, it compiles successfully with the "const" qualifier
removed:
extern int meaning_of_life __declspec(dllexport);
int meaning_of_life __declspec(dllexport) = 42;
Why does adding the "const" qualifier change this?  Is
this a known limitation of DLLs?  If so, the error message
is a little confusing.  If not, then this is a GCC bug.
Removing the explicit "extern" line has no effect in either
case.
My Cygwin installation was updated recently - I'm using the
standard Cygwin GCC 3.3.1-3 package:
$ c++ --version
c++ (GCC) 3.3.1 (cygming special)
If you want any more info, just ask.

Incidentally, this bug affects src/sid/component/ in the
Cygwin CVS tree.  I'd prepared this minimal test case before
I realized that this subdirectory isn't needed to build the
Cygwin DLL.  (Doh!  CVS doing unexpected things strikes again).
Kind regards,

Jon Foster

RE: Perl CPAN module help

[Gary Nielson]

Hi,

I am getting somewhere. I used setup and installed needed executables such
as gcc. Did a force install in cpan for LWP modules and it seemed to be go
great. All tests were successful in make test. But when running make install
I got the error:

"Cannot forceunlink /usr/bin/HEAD: No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/File/Find.pm line 873.
make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 255
/usr/bin/make install -- NOT OK.

The Find.pm line in question is: { $wanted_callback->() }; # protect against
wild "next"

Any idea what is going wrong, or is the question better posed to a perl
forum? Any help appreciated.

That's strange.  Which module is not found?  Since you have
installed it, where is it?  What is your @INC?  You can see your
@INC with

   perl -wle 'print for @INC'

>With HTML::Parser it couldn't run gcc because it was not found.

Then you must install it.  :-)  Run setup.exe and install gcc.

   perldoc cpan

To fire up the cpan shell, just type, at the cygwin shell

   cpan

I found it to be quite straight forward.  Please be specific and
tell where you run into problems.

>Are others having problems and how did you fix them.

We'll take one thing at a time.  I've used the cpan shell a lot,
but I need some more information about where you run into
problems.

I have never used "perldoc perllocal" to see what modules I have
installed, so at this point I can't tell you what is wrong.

On unix, 'head' is the program that displays the first 'n' lines of a
file, whereas 'HEAD' is a utility that's installed from LWP to do the
HTTP HEAD command from the command line (there's also GET.)  In unix,
case is significant, so it's perfectly fine to have both HEAD and a head
commands, but under Windows and thus Cygwin, case doesn't matter.  So
you have to skip the HEAD utility from LWP, or temporarily remove/rename
the standard head command.

I don't think this error should be fatal, and there should be an option
or switch or something to prevent it from trying to install HEAD.

It is a bug in gcc.  The above code compiles okay with C, but
strangely, not C++.  For some reason, g++ does not immediately
mark the the definition of global constants as public when they
are defined after a prior declaration.  I have a fix that I will
submit to gcc-patches after reg-testing

That could be a problem perhaps? Should the 'Users' group contain 'sshd' 
or is access for sshd to the /bin executables handled somehow else?

Ok, looks like all your mounts are system mounts, unless you simply don't
have the permission to read the registry keys for the SYSTEM user...
 

That seems strange. My home computer has a couple of mounts when I run 
that command, but this system has none. However, it works fine locally 
(compiling, listing files, /cygdrive/c, etc). I haven't ever tinkered 
with the mounts, so I wonder how that comes to be... Couldn't be related 
to mingw/msys could it?

Google it. You might find it, if it's there.

Archaeological notes:
dircmp was listed as legacy in the susv2 standard and removed in susv3
(in deference to diff -r).  Rationale:

   Although a useful concept, the historical output of this directory
   comparison program is not suitable for processing in application
   programs. Also, the diff -r command gives equivalent functionality.

Of course, tar was also removed in susv3, in deference to pax.  You've
all heard of pax, right?

Re: dircmp for cygwin?

[John Pye]

I found the link below. It says that no, it's not a part of SuSE or BSD, 
and it's only legacy on UNIX. There is a 'dircmp' class in python that 
you could use, or else maybe you could come up with some magic using an 
rsync 'dry run'...

You shouldn't use "force install" unless you really know what
you're doing.  If your module fails a regular "install" you should
investigate the problem and find the solution rather than do a
"force install".  With a "force install" you are likely to install
modules which fail some way on your system and hence shouldn't
have been installed.

When installing LWP you are asked whether you want to install the
GET, HEAD, and POST programs.  You have chosed "yes" or the "force
install" did it for you.  Either way, it was discovered that HEAD
exists (as /usr/bin/head.exe) and Perl is trying to remove it, but
although "which head" says "/usr/bin/HEAD", there really is no
"/usr/bin/HEAD.exe", it's "/usr/bin/head.exe".  The problem is
that "which" matches case insensitively, but "rm" doesn't.

The solution is:  Don't install CPAN modules under "/usr", use
"/usr/local"!  When you install modules without CPAN, use the
steps

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local
make
make test
make install

this is done with the CPAN shell by setting

cpan> o conf makepl_arg PREFIX=/usr/local
cpan> o conf commit

The "head" vs "HEAD" is a Cygwin thing, so I think it belongs
equally well here.
