Re: How To Export NFS?

[bertrand marquis]

Hello

  i think that's not the good way to run portmap nfsd and mountd directly
you should install them as windows services. there is a script with 
cygwin called nfs-server-config which will configure that for you: 
install the services and generate default config files, you will then be 
able to add what you want to /etc/exports and then restart the services 
with thoses commands:

to stop the services:
  cygrunsrv -E portmap
  cygrunsrv -E mountd
  cygrunsrv -E nfsd
to start the services:
  cygrunsrv -S portmap
  cygrunsrv -S mountd
  cygrunsrv -S nfsd
then i think it would have more chance to work

cp(1) doesn't copy ACLs, just the standard POSIX permissions.  I'm not
quite sure if it does when using the -p option but it might be worth
a try.

Re: user-specific mounts

[Baurjan Ismagulov]

Hello, Igor!

So, you mean HKCU is honored and should be read before HKLM, and this
may be a bug? I'll try your workaround and share the results.

The first question was whether such kind of setup was supposed to work
at all. Considering this a usage in a weird way, rather than a user
problem, I left the details for the second iteration. Sorry if I
prevented you from providing premium support :) , will do my best to
avoid this in the future.

Such a question arose after I had not been able to find a statement in
the user manual regarding this issue; I'm pretty sure you will show it
to me :) , but all I could find was the following:

   The mapping is stored in the current user's Cygwin mount table in the
   Windows registry so that the information will be retrieved next time the
   user logs in. Because it is sometimes desirable to have system-wide as
   well as user-specific mounts, there is also a system-wide mount table that
   all Cygwin users inherit.

So I was not sure whether HKCU was supposed to override HKLM, or whether
the HKLM entries were mounted first, and directories in HKCU that were
still not mounted were mounted afterwards.

As to cygcheck: seems that I screwed the installation. Cygcheck aborts
saying "'id' program not found", although it is present under
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin. The output is attached, but I doubt it would
help. Should I send you the output of a specific command, or set the
root to c:\cygwin and re-run cygcheck?


With kind regards,
Baurjan.

libiconv on WinXP Cygwin

[Jamil Alkadir]

I am in the process of compile GTK+ in my computer and as you know there are 
other libraries that have to be installed in advance.

I am now trying to compile libiconv-1.9.1 but I get an error that has thrown 
me off, that is because the OS I am installing is a WinXP(ensive) [NTFS] 
using CYGWIN. I know, I know, but I am only doing this because a client 
wants one of my applications to work on the bloody OS. I am really a Penguin 
kind of guy, really!



Any way, here is the problem.

Re: Cygwin & NFTS

I don't know if this information is related to your case, but notice 
that in Windows (I'm absolutely sure for W2K and WinXP) when you copy a 
file it takes the security attributes (the rights) of the folder where 
it has been copied, while when you move it it maintains its 
rights/security attributes doesn't change.

Try to copy that file with Windows Explorer in order to verify whether 
the same behaviour occurs.

Why not use the pre-existing libiconv-1.9.1 cygwin package, as installable from 
setup.exe?

/usr/bin/install uses the libiconv DLL, hence when install is running, the DLL is in 
use and cannot be overwritten.

RE: Cygwin & NFTS

[Bertrand . POULAIN]

The destination folder has FULL ACCESS for DOMAIN ADMIN on W2K. I use a user
who is in DOMAIN ADMIN group (Active Directory and Cygwin).

Whe I copy the file with Windows Explorer, the security attributes are OK. 
When I copy the file with Cygwin, they are no security attributes (they are
all unchecked).
When I move the file with Cygwin, the security attributes are OK. 

I don't understand why !

On Cygwin it depends on whether "ntsec" is set or not.  If ntsec is
switched off, the default Windows rules apply, while with ntsec on,
Cygwin sets the permissions in a POSIXy way.  However, copying a file
means to create a new file.  Copying over the permissions is then a
responsibility of the application (cp(1) in this very case).  If the
application doesn't have ACL support, then only the POSIX standard
permissions (user, group, other) are transferred.

  Modulo whether the file's permissions are configured to inherit from the
parent or not, surely?

RE: installing under win98

Works OK on my Win98SE box at home.

Since you supplied so little information, it is hard to guess what the
problem is, but have you actually selected any packages to install?  It
would make sense for the next button to be disabled if no packages have been
selected and nothing has been previously install via setup.

Looking in setup.log and setup.log.full might give enlightenment.

FWIW, one can always do "getfacl oldfile | setfacl -f - newfile".  I think
this be ripe for the FAQ or the UG -- it crops up from time to time.

The client is not getting anything from the remote portmapper. Try
"rpcinfo -p 10.0.0.1" and "showmount -e 10.0.0.1". If this does not
help, investigate with tcpdump/ethereal on both ends.

Re: Trouble running awk & deployment of Cygwin

[Robert Pollard]

The fix on this particular machine was to use gawk instead of awk.

According to some of the suggestions I received, awk is a symlink to 
gawk anyway.  So, this should work fine.  I wonder why I was getting 
the error since nothing should have changed?

Also, contrary to what some believed I wasn't running awk from a DOS 
prompt.  I was running a bash shell script that was using the command.  
It worked on my machine but didn't work on another.

This happens when running it in any form including trying to get the

I don't know if this has any bearing on it but this particular version 
of Cygwin was downloaded on one machine and I copied the Cygwin folder 
on to the machine I am having this error on.
I intend on putting Cygwin on Windows machines using an install 
process and modifying registry entries as needed.

I need suggestions and gotchas on doing this.  It is for deployment  
for software we developed.  After having several different problems I 
finally imported another user's registry and it started working for 
the most part.

I would appreciate tips or a place where there is a guide of some type 
on deploying Cygwin in a non-interactive install process.  We want the 
install to occur without user intervention.

Thanks for all your help in advance,

Command line email clients

[Robert Pollard]

Hi,

I need to automate email notifications from a shell script.  I also 
need to be able to set up the email servers for sending mail through a 
shell script.  Which ever email client I use, I need to automate the 
process of setting up and sending mail.

I have looked at Pine and tried to find information on ssmtp but can't 
locate any information on it.  Pine seems a bit much for what I need.  
I would like to be able to just send email and not have the overhead of 
Pine.  Is there documentation on ssmtp that will show me how to setup a 
smtp server and send an email to it?

Thanks,

Robert Pollard

Hello Robert,

  I think your best option is to use Mutt, unless you really, really want 
to use Pine. It is possible to use Pine, but only if you apply a patch to 
make it work that way, Pine (without patching) does not send e-mail non 
interactively. Pine does not require ssmtp, since Pine connects directly 
to an SMTP server if you define "smtp-server" in your .pinerc file.

  If you really want to use Pine, you will have to build your own version. 
and patch it with patches that you can find in my web page (address 
below). You will need the patch "Pine sends e-mail from the command line" 
and the patch for "Cygwin Version of Pine".

  I only have a patch for 4.58, although 4.60 is already out, the patch 
for 4.60 is coming soon (and it will be much nicer than the patch for 
4.58, very much like the patch for version 4.55).

  In case somebody is wondering, I am not planning to release Pine4.60 for 
Cygwin yet, and probably won't unless it's marked as the stable release of 
the pine4.6X series, which I doubt, because a couple of bugs have already 
been found. When Pine4.6X becomes stable I will release a new version of 
Pine.

  I think you simply have to be wrong.  There is no question whatsoever that
what has happened is that a file full of ASCII has been invoked as if it
were a 16-bit DOS executable.  Only DOS would do that.  For a start, only
DOS would try to execute a file just because it has '.exe' at the end.

> It worked on my machine but didn't work on another.

  Have you tried comparing the cygcheck output from both of them to look for
differences?  Is it possible the other machine has a duplicate copy of the
executable rather than a symlink?  Let's see the output from "ls -la
/bin/*awk*" on both machines.  Let's see the content of your shell script.
This can't have been happening for just no reason.

RE: Command line email clients

[Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID)]

I send email from a scripts using ssmtp, but one needs to construct the
entire message, headers and all.  Earlier I had tried mutt; I don't remember
why I switched, but it may have had something to do with sending MIME.

For your reference (and perhaps your amusement), I've attached the script
that I use to format the message to ssmtp.  It is not totally generic, so
you'll have to make changes and test.

Have you checked the first obvious place,
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.60.4.README (and the second,
/usr/share/doc/ssmtp-2.60.4/README)?

There are SMTP modules for perl, and another mailer, "mutt", which may
have the scripting capability you need (as it has a "mail" emulation
mode).  Also, someone posted a "mail" script recently (within the past
week) that uses ssmtp and may do exactly what you want.

According to mount_info::from_registry() (in path.cc), the user mounts are
read before the system ones, and therefore appear earlier in the mount
table.  I'm pretty sure the mount table is accessed linearly, so the
earlier items take precedence, but it would be nice if someone confirmed
this.

Even though the usage is certainly unconventional, I don't see any reason
why this shouldn't work.  However, including the standard problem
reporting information would have shown us whether what your system thinks
its state is is the same as what you think it is.

I would probably read the above as "HKCU overrides HKLM", but I agree, it
could be clearer.  In the spirit of "WJM", I have to add that "there's
always the code"(tm). :-)

Even the partial output you attached already shows an indication of a
problem -- you said that "id" exists under /cygdrive/*c*/cygwin/bin (why
not /bin, BTW?), whereas cygcheck has *g*:/cygwin/bin in the path.

I would try starting from scratch with the mounts -- first get a working
system (for one user) with user mounts, then add *one* system mount and
see if the user mount overrides it.  If it does, add more system mounts.
It would help to save the output of "mount -m" at certain points along the
way, so that you can restore the mount state to that which you *know*
works.

As an aside, "it would be nice"(tm) to get an option for "mount" that
would show (and allow setting) the mounts of another user (as long as the
current user has appropriate privileges).  It would also be great if
cygcheck showed the mounts for the SYSTEM user as well as those for the
current user and the system ones.  I'm planning to work on this when I get
a chance, but wanted to get this into the archives for now.

Why not just "try it"?  Create two mounts, one user and one system.  See
which takes precedence.

xemacs shell problem

[Levent Yilmaz]

Hi!

After posting this message to emacs.xemacs.windows and following the 
advices I have been told, I found out that this happens only with Xemacs 
Cygwin build. Thus, I hope it would be a relevant discussion for this 
group.

*the problem setting*
The shell-mode(using bash) at Xemacs(21.4.15) called from Bash 
(2.05b.0(1)-release) running Cygwin(1.42) on WindowsXP-SP1

*the ISSUE*
Error messages from certain Windows console programs (such as the 
Fortran compilers LaheyF95 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6) (hereafter I 
will refer these as Compiler) are not displayed at the shell-buffer. 
Instead the errors are flushed to a DOS console that dissappears 
immidiately after the compilation is finished and the regular messages 
(logo and stuff) are displayed at the shell-buffer as usual.

*complications*
- When the Compiler is invoked directly from Bash, everything works 
fine, all messages are there and in fact, output redirection works as 
expected. The error mesages can be redirected with the usual 2>myfile.
- This issue does not occur with all console applications (for instance 
I tried with MSVC++6/7 and they are working fine).  Among the ones I 
tested, only these fortran Compilers has this behaviour. This is also 
why I fail to find a reproducible example for submitting as a test case 
here (though, you may download a trial version from 
http://www.lahey.com/ and test with a erroneous Fortan code, if you 
really agree that this is a significant issue and worth the trouble).
Here is a sample failing FORTRAN code
!==
program fail
end program nail
!==
- As I mentioned before this problem happens only with Xemacs Cygwin 
build. Native-Windows build is working fine.

My question is, it seems that the output from the Compiler is flushed to 
that blinking console, what may be the cause of this? Are there other 
outputs other than STDERR and STDOUT, that Cygwin is handling properly, 
but the shell-mode in Xemacs is failing?

Thank you so very much!!
- Levent

The result is at the beginning of the thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cygwin&m=108445099608131&w=2 .

To be exact, I've got the following entries in the registry:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/]
"native"="C:\\opt\\med"
"flags"=dword:000a
...

[HKCU\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/]
"native"="G:\\cygwin"
"flags"=dword:000a
...

If I start rxvt as this user, I see c:\opt\med as root.

Any ideas?

Eh, there were times when I could spend a couple of days fixing some
annoying behaviour or just reading the source. In this specific case, I
asked to see whether anyone could quickly suggest me anything, otherwise
I would postpone this issue for a couple of months :/ .

Well, I have changed the setup a couple of times since yesterday, and
wrote the mail with the yesterday's state in mind. For some reason,
cygcheck reflected the current state :) , sorry for this. So, today my
system mounts are under c:\opt\med, and user mounts -- under g:\cygwin.
And yes, id exists in /cygdrive/g/cygwin/bin. It is there because I want
to have the main installation there, and run services from some other
directory, that I can frequently create, test, and delete.

I've seen related problems, but never had the time to look deeper.
Running nfsd under strace showed that, IIRC, after some moment stat was
not able to find cygwin root and tried to stat the directories relative
to Windows drive root. Perhaps someone could help if you send the strace
output of nfsd.

I did try it.  I should have amended the above with "on my system, mounts
work as expected, with user mounts shadowing the system ones".  In fact,
mount actually gives a warning that "system mount point of '/...' will
always be masked by user mount."  But there's got to be some explanation
for the behavior the OP is seeing...

Cygwin uses special pipes, called "pty"s, for applications that aren't
running in a console.  I'm guessing that XEmacs uses these ptys for its
shell buffer.  Some applications detect that they are not invoked from a
console, and allocate one.  If the applications don't attempt to be
smarter, Cygwin has no problems redirecting their output.  The reason the
problem doesn't show up in a "bash window" is that bash is already runs in
a console.

If you have the same problem running from within a terminal, like rxvt or
xterm, I'd suspect that the problem application does exactly that --
allocates a console when run from a pty, which is what causes the flashing
console with error messages.

There have also been some fixes related to pty-handling and Windows
console applications, but I don't recall whether they've made it to the
current release (1.5.9), so search the mailing list archives or just try
the latest snapshot to see if it helps.

You can also set "sendmail-path" in your .pinerc file to use "ssmtp -t".
That's not particularly useful, but if you write a little script to 
queue outgoing mail and set "sendmail-path=/path/to/queuemail", and 
then have a separate script run regularly to try to send the queued 
mail using ssmtp -t, you have a nice way to use Pine offline.

Re: xemacs shell problem

[Levent Yilmaz]

Thank you!

Igor Pechtchanski wrote:
Cygwin uses special pipes, called "pty"s, for applications that aren't
running in a console.  I'm guessing that XEmacs uses these ptys for its
shell buffer.  Some applications detect that they are not invoked from a
console, and allocate one.  If the applications don't attempt to be
smarter, Cygwin has no problems redirecting their output.  The reason the
problem doesn't show up in a "bash window" is that bash already runs in
a console.
If you have the same problem running from within a terminal, like rxvt or
xterm, I'd suspect that the problem application does exactly that --
allocates a console when run from a pty, which is what causes the flashing
console with error messages.
Well actuall Xemacs' shell is the only place I have this problem. Both 
rxvt and xterm are working fine (maybe they are not using pty's?). 
Updating didn't change anything unfortunately.

However, I believe the issue is exactly related to what you say: 
Application trying to be smart! I will do as you say and research the 
archives, though I have very little understanding of the matter.

I wonder if anybody else experienced such a thing?

thank you again!
-Levent.

There have also been some fixes related to pty-handling and Windows
console applications, but I don't recall whether they've made it to the
current release (1.5.9), so search the mailing list archives or just try
the latest snapshot to see if it helps.

Calling g77 FORTRAN code from MSVC 7?

[Richard Heintze]

I've searched the web, I've looked at the FAQ. I spent
all day yesterday trying to figure this out myself and
I am close.
I just downloaded the complete cygwin about a month
ago so everything should be pretty recent.

I can call my g77 code (sum.f) from g++ by creating a
dll and calling the dll from g++ code. Hurray! Now I
want to do the same thing from MSVC7.

>From the cygwin/bash command prompt I do:
g77 -c  -mrtd -O2  -o sum.o sum.f
dllwrap -s --export-all --output-def sum.def --def
sum2.def --output-lib sum.lib  --driver-name g77 -o
sum.dll sum.o 

Both sum.def and sum2.def contain the same contents:
; dlltool --base-file
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc001596.base
--output-exp sum.exp --dllname sum.dll --output-def
sum.def [EMAIL PROTECTED] --def
sum2.def --output-lib sum.lib
EXPORTS
avg_ @ 1
summer_ @ 2

>From the dos (cmd.exe) command prompt, I use the
following commands:


cl main.cpp   /c /MLd /W3 /Gm /GX /ZI /Od /D WIN32 /D
_DEBUG /D _CONSOLE /D _MBCS /FD /GZ /GR /D NOPROMPT
cl main.obj sum.lib /link /out:sum.exe 
/subsystem:console /incremental:yes 

No errors until I run it and get an access violation
when I can my fortran functions.

So then I enhanced main.cpp with the following code:

  HMODULE hLib=LoadLibraryA("c:\\Documents and
Settings\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Examples\\sum\\sum.dll");
  if(hLib){
cout << "load libary worked!" << endl;
  } else {
cout << "load library failed!"<< endl;
  }

This dies without an error message. This code works
when I call a C DLL generated with MSVC7, however.

Here is how I declare my functions: 
extern "C"  float summer_(float*, int*);
extern "C"  float avg_(float*, int*);

I tried experiment with __stdcall with no luck.

This should work, right? The whole point of inventing
libtool and dllwrap is to create DLLs instead of unix
style shared object files, correct?

I found an example at the MinGW that demonstrated
calling g77 code from Excel, but this example does not
work with Excel 2002. This tells me that what someone
has done what I am trying to to.

  Thanks,
  Siegfried

cp breaking weirdly when trying to copy an executable without specifying the .exe extension

[Max Bowsher]

$ touch foo.exe
$ cp foo bar
cp: `foo' and `bar' are the same file

The above error message is rather confusing.

Is Cygwin's cp supposed to transparently permit the omission of the .exe extension, or 
am I misremembering?


Max.

Then all you need is ssmtp (assuming you have somwhere real mail hub).
Look into /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf - it has three options to set.

And probably you want something to construct headers, like this
mailx-simulating puppy ;)

Yeah, that won't work for Cygwin DLLs because cygwin1.dll cannot be 
explicitly/dynamically loaded by a non-cygwin program.

You may simply be getting tripped up by mismatches between
the Cygwin (C runtime) DLL and the MS one.  Assuming you 
don't need access to the POSIX functionality of Cygwin, you're
better off working with the MinGW versions.  But using MinGW
would put it off-topic for this list so I'd recommend following
up at their site instead if you still have problems.  If you 
need Cygwin's POSIX layer then you need to link against the
library you made (i.e. don't use LoadLibrary) and make sure 
that you're not mixing and matching your C runtime heap calls.
That's deadly.

Re: cygwin Digest 13 May 2004 06:31:19 -0000 Issue 3579

[Allen H. Nugent]

No disrespect intended, please, but this looks like an installation issue,
to me.
During my recent cygwin upgrade, Setup removed all traces of Xwin from my
system -- without prompting me. I now see that the Xwin files are all
identified as "Removed package" on the cygwin website. Where does that
leave me?
Perhaps this really is a question for the xfree list, but it is odd that I
can't find a mention of this business in their archives!
