date:20031120

I have cygwin version 1.32 running on Windows XP Pro.
I have ghostscript 8.11 installed in
C:\gs\gs8.11\bin. Under this same directory, I have a
file called "gs", containing this line:

gswin32c $*

I also have XFree86 installed and xfig 3.2.4

Xfig has a problem invoking gs to convert a eps file
into pcx. The problem
appears to be that gs does not recognize the path
style. In fact when I
invoke gs from the bash shell with a file under the
working directory, it
works fine. But when I call it this way

gs /c/directory/somefile.ps

I get this error from ghostscript

/undefinedfilename in ( /c/directory/somefile.ps)

What should I do?

Thanks,
Nevine

1.5.5: SEGV in calloc before start of main

2003-11-20 Thread Lloyd Lewins

In a program that has been running on cygwin (and
other Unix platforms) for many years, I have started
getting a SEGV in calloc:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x6103ee0e in cygwin1!calloc () from
/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll

This occurs even if I set a breakpoint at the start of
my program (i.e. the SEGV is before the application
code runs -- straight C, no C++).

The stackdump is empty -- or I would attach it too.

Crontab does not work, Windows 2000

Crontab will not run on my Cygwin platform.

I am using Cygwin 1.5.5 under Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4.

I want to schedule some bash scripts using crontab. Each script runs 
perfectly fine on its own. I created the following crontab from the bash 
shell, located at /bin/bash:

  # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
  # (/tmp/crontab.1904 installed on Wed Nov 19 12:32:06 2003)
  # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.7 2003/04/15 15:13:41 corinna Exp 
$)

  33 12 * * * /usr/bin/bsh_ubcfxscript.txt

When the time scheduled arrives, nothing happens. No error messages occur 
and the script does not execute.

cygcheck.out is attached

Thank you.

Cygwin I18N issues and CJK (DBCS UTF-8) issues

2003-11-20 Thread gary lee

Hi All:

Could any one give me any information about how Cygwin support I18N and 
CJK(DBCS - double byte characters, such as Japaness, Chinese, Korean)?

Currently I want to set up Cygwin to execute lots of bash through SSH on 
target machine. But I don't see any document about Cygwin setup with I18N 
(globalization and UTF-8 encoding)? How does Cygwin support UTF-8 encoding? 
how does cygwin support I18n?

any ideas?  Thanks very much!

Gary

FYI, there is no such version.  Your cygcheck.out shows version 1.3.22.
The latest is 1.5.5.  I'd recommend upgrading.

Try changing your "gs" file to

#!/bin/sh
PARAMS=""
for i in "$@"; do
  PARAMS="$PARAMS '`cygpath -w -- "$i"`'"
done
eval "set -- $PARAMS"
gswin32c "$@"

and see if it helps.

Re: ghostscript on Windows and cygwin path style

Thank you very much for your help and prompt response.

Now gs responds correctly to this command from
cygwin's command prompt:

gs /c/somefile.ps

But the problem is that xfig specifies the output file
to be /tmp/somefile.pix.
gs tries to look for a \tmp directory and does not
realize that this is /c/cygwin/tmp, so I get the
following error

AFPL Ghostscript 8.11:  Could not open the file
\tmp\somefile.pcx
Error: /invalidfileaccess in --.outputpage--

Thanks,
Nevine

Re: ghostscript on Windows and cygwin path style

Nev,

Please make sure your mailer respects Reply-To:.

Does your gs script get invoked by xfig?  Try putting an "echo 'gs...'" in
the beginning of your script and see if it shows up in the output.

Re: ghostscript on Windows and cygwin path style

Yes, It does. I got the echo

Before I sent the last reply, I tried invoking gs from
cygwin's command prompt with the switch
-sOutputFile=/tmp/somefile.pcx

and got the same error.

Thanks,

Huh?  setup.ini is generated on UNIX so it normally does have UNIX line
endings.

Fix what? Setup is responsible for doing it's own downloads. If you use
an external tool - presumably because you're setting up your own mirror
- it's your responsibility to give setup the same things it expects from
the official mirrors.

That said, it's probably easy enough to tweak the parser, and I'll
review a patch happily.

Isn't this what your script is supposed to output?  Looks to me like your
crontab actually worked.  If you don't redirect the output of your script,
it goes to syslog (which, in case of Cygwin, is the Windows event log).
Try changing your crontab entry to something like

33 12 * * * /usr/bin/bsh_ubcfxscript.txt >> /tmp/bsh_ubcfxscript.out

and see if it works.  In fact, did you try the "Hello, world!" of all
crontabs, i.e.

33 12 * * * /bin/date >> /tmp/date.out

?  HTH,
Igor

I'm confused.  As I mentioned, setup.ini is built on linux and the setup.ini
that setup.exe downloaded to my local directory has UNIX line endings.

Likewise: I'm not presuming that the topic has an accurate analysis. It
may be, for instance, that it's ^M's that choked setup.

Fw: *** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5. Terminating.

2003-11-20 Thread Fabrice Larribe


Hi.

I'm not a computer guy, so forgive me if my question is awkward !

I use cygwin by the intermediate of a Windows XP remote Desktop
Connection, and I connect to Win2000 server. I use cygwin mainly to compile
and run c++ code (to do scientific simulations). I have used Cygwin in this
context with absolutely no problem during several years, but recently, when
I try to start a Cygwin shell, I have this error message:
*** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5.  Terminating.
and the shell does not start.
I have tried to update to the lastest cygwin relase, with no results. I have
consult the FAQ and maling list, with no help. I have however find in the
mailing list related problems, but I don't understand if the problems are
similar or not, and I do not understand the responses. Here are the links:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg01234.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00454.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00182.html

Pierre A.H. seems to come with a solution:
"This problem has now been explained with James' help and this message is to
close the thread. It turns out that on some recent Windows systems a special
privilege, "create global objects", is required to run Cygwin 1.5.X from a
terminal session. It can be given to users with the  editrights.exe
utility. " but I can not run any executable cygwin file, I always have
thesame error message.

I have tried, as suggested by one the messages, to change code 513 to 544 in
etc/passwd, with no results.
So, could somebody give me some hints about what to do ?

Unfortunately, what you've said so far gives us very few specifics about
your system setup or what you're trying to do.  Please visit 
, read it thoroughly, and provide the
specific information it requests.  Also, we need to know specifically 
what you're doing and the problems you see.  A minimal example of the
steps you take and the results you get is best.  It may be helpful to 
include /etc/passwd and /etc/groups as well (it can't hurt).  Please 
*attach* any files you're sending to the list, don't include them in 
the body of your message.

Variables in Makefiles

2003-11-20 Thread Brian Fallik

Cygwin folks,

I'm having trouble getting makefiles to work in the cygwin environment.
They work perfectly fine in Linux.  I've checked the mailing list archives,
google, google groups, and the faq for help but haven't found the solution.
Any help would be appreciates.  Please CC me on responses as I'm not
subscribed.

Did I miss something obvious?

Thanks,
brian

===

On Linux (YDL 2.3) I have an extensive non-recursive makefile structure.
make -v shows GNU Make version 3.79.1.  On Win 2000 I've installed cygwin
and the development tools.  make -v shows GNU Make 3.80.  When I try to run
make from the root directory (in both --unix and not) I get output like the
following repeated over and over:
  c:\***/asip/netdefinition/build/gmake/Rules.mk:79: no file name for
`-include'
I believe this is just a warning but I'm concerned it may cause a problem
later on.

Additionally and perhaps more importantly, make doesn't actually do
anything.  It seems to be producing .a files without compiling anything.  If
I try make with warn-undefined-variables I get many warnings undefined vars
and if I try to echo some vars used in my makefiles they all appear empty.

For instance, this makefile section:
  SRCS_$(d) := \
../../source/product/Alarm_impl.cpp

  test:
echo $(SRCS_$(d))

echoes nothing when run on Windows but echoes
../../source/product/Alarm_impl.cpp on Linux.

Re: ghostscript on Windows and cygwin path style

Nevine,

Ah, that explains it.  The script I suggested earlier will look at the
whole parameter.  If you want to transform parts of parameters, you'd have
to do something a bit more sophisticated, like

#!/bin/sh
PARAMS=""
for i in "$@"; do
  case "$i" in
-*=/*) i="`echo "$i" | \
   sed 'h;s,^[^=]*=\(/.*\)$,cygpath -w -- "\1",e;x;\
s,=.*$,=,;G;s,\n,,'`" ;;
-*) ;;
*/*) i="`cygpath -w -- "$i"`" ;;
*) ;;
  esac
  PARAMS="$PARAMS '$i'"
done
eval "set -- $PARAMS"
gswin32c "$@"

The above seems to work correctly.  Hope this helps,
Igor

Re: ghostscript on Windows and cygwin path style

Yes, it does help.

Thank you very much, Igor, for taking the time and the
effort to solve the problem that quickly and for
providing the solution complete and concrete.

Ok. What should we set CYG_MAX_PATH to initially then? I think we should
start at 4K, until we've seen whether there are any stack size issues.

Re: Fw: *** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5. Terminating.

2003-11-20 Thread Fabrice Larribe

Hi. As suggested in a previous message, I give here more details of what my
problem
is in order it would be (hopefully) more easy to help me.

I connect by a RemoteDesktop Connection fromWindows XP to a Win2000 server.
When logged in, I open a command prompt (in the cygwin main directory), and
then
enter the command "cygwin.bat", which try to run "bash.exe", but but this
gives me
the  "*** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5. Terminating." error message. So,
in fact,
my problem is that I'm not able to start a cygwin shell. I use
the lastest cygwin distribution (1.5.5-1).

I have tried to run "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out ", but the command
gives the same error as previously.

I attach to this message, as suggested, the /etc/passwdand /etc/groups.

I have read the page "how to report problems", and hope my report
is OK, but I'm not sure what others information could be useful.

Strange problem linking Windows DLL - 'Error: 0-bit reloc in dll'

2003-11-20 Thread Michael.Gogins

I am building a Python 2.3 extension module in Cygwin using gcc version 3.3.1 
(cygming special) with binutils version 2.14.90. There do not appear to be
any unresolved symbols, but I get the error:

Error: 0-bit reloc in dll

This DLL is a port of Solaris code and links in Sybase OpenClient Windows DLLs 
(and other DLLs) via import libraries that I make with strings and dlltool. 
The DLL also links with the X Windows libraries because the ported code 
references those libraries. Note the error report in the middle of 
the X windows import fixups (see link line below). 

I have no problem building a "toy" Python extension on Cygwin using similar rules. 

I also have no problem building, linking, and running tne entire extension 
on Solaris with Sun Workshop.

Other possibly relevant factors include the large size of the tt_wrap.o object 
and the need for repeating libraries on the link line thanks to interlibrary 
dependencies:

What causes this and what can I do about it? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

windows SIGTRAP

2003-11-20 Thread y2bismil

Hi all,

I've ported an old dos application to compile in cygwin under mingw.  It does
its own context switching via traps.  I'm not about to say the port is correct
just yet, but I need a bit of guidance here.

Unfortunately, when I try and run the application now, it goes a bit, but then
crashes on the trap.  A dialog just pops up and says ( prog.exe has generated
errors...a log is being created...).

Now, running the program through the insight debugger, I can get it to run
normally.  It stops at the traps and I just continue.  To get it to run without
stopping(breaking), I just do a 'handle SIGTRAP nostop' and it seems to run
fine.  Just really really really slowly as it still receives all this SIGTRAPS,
it just ignores them.  

Any ideas here? I didn't think a windows app would have SIGTRAPS.

Thanks,

Yamin

Re: Crontab does not work, Windows 2000

Igor,

The output I displayed in my last posting was from the event log. It is not 
what my script is supposed to output. My script uses the lynx utility to 
download specific data files from an http site and echoes some progress 
statements back to the shell. I have tried what you suggested below and the 
"hello world" date crontab as well. Both do not work. I have also tried 
different combinations of path (/bin and /usr/bin) in my crontab, but still 
no luck. Note, I open a bash shell from /bin/bash and write my crontab from 
there. Just a quick sidetrack...why does the "pwd" command give /usr/bin 
when the shell was opened in /bin?

Any other ideas of what the problem could be? Do you think it's 
path-related? Thank you so much...

Isn't this what your script is supposed to output?  Looks to me like your
crontab actually worked.  If you don't redirect the output of your script,
it goes to syslog (which, in case of Cygwin, is the Windows event log).
Try changing your crontab entry to something like

33 12 * * * /usr/bin/bsh_ubcfxscript.txt >> /tmp/bsh_ubcfxscript.out

and see if it works.  In fact, did you try the "Hello, world!" of all
crontabs, i.e.
33 12 * * * /bin/date >> /tmp/date.out

?  HTH,
Igor

Re: Crontab does not work, Windows 2000

Tim,

Umm, sorry, I meant just the underlined lines, but I guess no dice...

Did you try running Mark Harig's cron_diagnose.sh (Google for it) on your
system?  Does it report any errors?

Does the "date" example produce any messages in syslog (i.e., Windows
Event log)?  An obligatory silly question, BTW: did you start the cron
service?  What options did you pass to cygrunsrv to create the service?

ssh

2003-11-20 Thread Ben Anderson

Hi,
connect.exe is working, but ssh is not.  I can connect to my server from my 
local network, but not remotely.

This is from my sshd log
Nov 20 07:09:55 [sshd] Did not receive identification string from 
:::xxx.123.110.69

the error I get in cygwin is:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
this error is received right after I enter my proxy password.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben

running cygwin on mutiple operating systems

2003-11-20 Thread Marty Leisner


I'm going to dual boot a system with win xp and win 2k (and of course
linux).

I assume I'll make two smallish partitions to boot from (one each for
xp and 2k on one disk) and one larger partition...they'll all be
ntfs...

What's the best way to have cygwin shared between the two operating
systems?   Do I have to do a complete install into the same place?

When I do this work, can I put two primary partitions one disk?

At a minimum, you'll need to put Cygwin on a partition accessible from
both systems.  You can use the "mount -m" command to duplicate the mounts
from one system to another (no need to reinstall Cygwin, just make sure to
fix up the drive letters in the resulting mount commands).

One problem I think you're going to run into is the SIDs of users in
/etc/passwd and /etc/group (and thus, file ownership).  Partly it's a
general multi-boot file ownership issue, and not Cygwin-specific, but you
will need to make sure you have the right things in /etc/passwd and
/etc/group for both systems.  Symlinks might become a problem, too.

You might find the Cygwin-on-CD or Cygwin-on-USB-stick instructions and
musings helpful (they should be in the mailing list archives).

P.S. I'm not sure I understand your last question.

Re: Crontab does not work, Windows 2000

Igor,

I did not run the cygrunsrv utility. I searched my hard drive and it does 
not exist. I just created a crontab under my username from the "crontab -e" 
command. Is cygrunsrv a trivial part of running cron tasks?

Also, I ran cron_diagnose and it is getting stuck on the mounts. I'm pretty 
sure that the mounts are system mounts, not user.

->Part of my output after running the diagnose script:

The SYSTEM user cannot access the mount point /usr/bin.
Please run the following command to add a system mount point:
  mount -f -s -b "[DOS path to Cygwin]/bin" "/usr/bin"
where [DOS path to Cygwin] is something like c:/cygwin.
For more information, run 'mount -m' and 'mount -h'

After adding this mount point, please re-run this script.

->My output after running mount -m:

mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin" "/"
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"
Should I run the command you suggested at: 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00486.html ?

Hopefully we get this sorted out after this posting! :) Thanks

Tim,

Umm, sorry, I meant just the underlined lines, but I guess no dice...

Did you try running Mark Harig's cron_diagnose.sh (Google for it) on your
system?  Does it report any errors?
Does the "date" example produce any messages in syslog (i.e., Windows
Event log)?  An obligatory silly question, BTW: did you start the cron
service?  What options did you pass to cygrunsrv to create the service?

Crontab does not run, Windows 2000

Crontab will not run on my Cygwin platform.

I am using Cygwin 1.5.5 under Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4.

I want to schedule some bash scripts using crontab. Each script runs 
perfectly fine on its own. I created the following crontab from the bash 
shell, located at /bin/bash:

  # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
  # (/tmp/crontab.1904 installed on Wed Nov 19 12:32:06 2003)
  # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.7 2003/04/15 15:13:41 corinna Exp 
$)

  33 12 * * * /usr/bin/bsh_ubcfxscript.txt

When the time scheduled arrives, nothing happens. No error messages occur 
and the script does not execute.

cygcheck.out is attached

Thank you.

I definitely installed Cygwin on my Windows 2k machine as "All Users". The
crontab I am creating is under my individual user name. When I remove my
crontab file and type the command "./crontab -l" it lists my username in the
"no cronfile" response, which by the way is on the network domain, not the
domain of my machine. I don't think this is a problem as I've checked out
the /etc/passwd file, and it includes my username as it does the computer
administrator.

I am running crontab in the bash shell, but the man pages mention the
environmental variable SHELL=/bin/sh. I tried including this in my crontab
as well as running crontab in sh, which doesn't work at all.

Any suggestions? Thanks again!

Really. I thought the email archives were literally full of references to
threads on cron.
First, I'm going to direct you to .
Providing good, accurate information about the problem, your system's
configuration, and the process you followed for setting up the service
(applicable in the case of cron) is always good form. But with the
information you've provided, I'll make the WAG that you installed Cygwin
as "Just for Me", which doesn't work if you want to run services. Either
reinstall or look at "man mount" to figure out how to change your mount
points from 'user' to 'system'.

We never reached consensus on how to handle this issue.  Search the
