Does it mean that we should use cygserver with CYGWIN=server and forget about
ipc-daemon2 from now on.
BTW:
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.3/FAQ_MSWIN
still has the wrong docs, talking about ipc-daemon2.
This should be fixed upstream, and in the CYGWIN-PATCH if not.
Attached is the doc patch, which talks about cygserver, replacing 
ipc-daemon2, points to /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-.README 
to avoid duplication, and uses the new default paths 
/usr/share/postgresql replacing /var/postgresql/data,
and points to /var/log/postmaster.log

I didn't say anything about locale issues yet, which also changed.

Latest ssh can not be spawned from expect.

[Andrew Louder]

To whom it may concern:
 
My script works on a older cygwin software:
expect == 5.26
ssh == OpenSSH_3.6.1p2
 
My script fails on a current cygwin software:
expect == 5.26
ssh == OpenSSH_3.8.1p1
The symptons show that expect can not recognize the
ssh output, so
I will be prompted over and over again for the
password.
 
Also note, if I ssh from the older installation to the
current 
installation,
then my script works again.  It appears the problem
lives is term 
compatibility.

PS.  Here is my script and example successfull
execution:
$ cat t.exp

The first step to problems like this is always the same.  Check to see 
what package has the thing you're missing and, if there is one, install
it via 'setup.exe'.  Visit  to get started.
You'll find you need to install the glib2-devel package in this case.

BTW, you posted to the wrong list.  You should post to the main cygwin 
list with questions like this.  I've redirected further follow-ups to 
that list.  Please leave cygwin-apps off any replies.

Andy,

DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about expect, I don't use it, I don't even have 
it installed.

However, even without having used expect, the underlined lines above look 
suspicious.  According to , the 
latest version of the expect package for Cygwin is 20030128-1, *not* 5.26.  
Also, according to the package listing of expect-20030128-1, the "expect" 
program resides in /usr/bin, *not* /usr/local.bin...  Looks like you're 
not using Cygwin's expect, and so your question is off-topic for this 
list.  On the off chance that you *are* using the Cygwin expect package, 
and just aren't reporting the versions and paths correctly, please review

> Problem reports:   http://cygwin.com/problems.html

and follow the guidelines, especially the bit about attaching the output 
of "cygcheck -svr".

Re: Latest ssh can not be spawned from expect.

[Andrew Louder]

Igor,

   Thankyou for your reply.  Actually I am
running expect out of /usr/bin/expect, the comment
line in the shell script is ignored since I am not
relying on the shell script to be executable when
I run the script.  I have no other unix tools
installed
on my PC.
   I got the version numbers by running ssh -v and 
expect -v.

  Red herring, I think.  It's a snapshot of v5.26 that was prepared on 28th
Jan 2003.  The way to determine the actual version number is to use "runtest
--version" or "expect -v".

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /artimi/firmware> runtest --version
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.
Expect version is   5.26
Tcl version is  8.4
Framework version is1.4.4
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /artimi/firmware>


[Mind you, I have upgraded my dejagnu framework, and I can't say for sure
that I didn't install expect from source and then forget I'd done so...]

  Yes, but it didn't work: since your machine is firewalled off to ssh
connections from the outside internet I couldn't get in, even despite you
having just posted your IP address and root password to the entire world at

  One of your referral customers just spammed a public mailing list with an
advert for your promotion; you can see this in the mailing list archives at 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg00858.html

  This is not what the list is for.  It is utterly unwelcome, off-topic,

Postgres 7.4.3-1, plperl and perl-5.8.2

[Kumar Pandey]

Hi
 I'm trying to install plperl in Postgres 7.4.3-1 that
comes with cygwin on XP Home edition.

as per cygcheck - plperl install is failing as it
can't find perl5.8.2 dll. 

cygwin installer only allows me to install either 
perl 5.6.1-2 or perl perl-5.8.5.3

How do I intall perl-5.8.2 so that plperl language can
be installed.

Thanks
Kumar

1.5.10: msgsnd between threads hangs, between processes ok..

[Don Post]

Hi All,

I have encountered a problem which I hope someone has seen and has a
work around for. While I was porting some code that is based on POSIX
threads and SYSV message queues I found that if the receiver (i.e.
caller to msgrcv) of the message queue is a child or sibling thread of
the sender (i.e. caller to msgsnd), then the msgsnd call hangs
indefinitely even though NOWAIT is specified. If the receiver (caller to
msgrcv) is another process, then all works fine. I have included a
simple program that spawns the receiver either as a process (i.e. fork)
or as a thread (pthread_create). When fork is used, all works find. When
pthread_create is used, the send hangs. Any ideas/workarounds? I have
included  the appropriate versions and I have verified that the
cygserver is running. Also after the code I have included the output
from cygcheck -s

Thanks,

-Don

Most recent sshd doesnt accept sessions (known issue)

[Bart van der Werf \(Bluelive\)]

Ive been using sshd on windows using cygwin for a year now with success
(altough i do need to copy a bit of registery info after every update
because it doesnot do the path mounts correctly for the service)

I updated all of cygwin and rebooted, now i cant login to the sshd
service anymore.

I saw this post so i guess ill just downgrade for now
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg00625.html

In the syslog i find:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) 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:
sshd : PID 652 : syslogin_perform_logout: logout() returned an error.

I guess only the last bit is intresting, any tips on what to do ?

I partily suspect XP-SP2 but it worked with SP2 before i did a full
cygwin update.

cp doesnot copy in certain cases of slash (\)

[Koduru, Seshasai]

Hi,

Following is the test case:
START-
C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\mkdir.exe -p c:\src c:\dst

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\touch.exe c:\src\newfile

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe c:\src\newfile c:\dst
/usr/bin/cp: cannot create regular file `c:\\dst/c:\\src\\newfile': No
such file or directory

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe c:\src\newfile c:\dst\newfile

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe c:\src/newfile c:\dst
END-

In the first case of cp command it does not copy the file whereas in the
next two cases it copies properly. I am "JAM" which produces statements
like in case 1. So, is there any way in which cp will work for case 1
also?

Thanks,
Seshasai

Given that you are using cygwin binaries which assume a POSIX

Hello,
the following bug seems to have been introduced recently:
A command
rsync -avPz -e ssh /cygdrive/g/coop/a-dat/tst/tst_90.ald \
 duckling:/cygdrive/e/exposed/kirn
yields:

<<<
but the size of the resulting file is 7.438.826.
(rsync detects the difference and transfers the file again the next
time. and again. and again ...)
Both machines involved run cygwin with openssh-3.9p1-1 and
rsync 2.6.2-2, both /cygdrive's are mounted textmode ($CYGWIN also
contains nobinmode).
Downgrading to rsync 2.6.2-1 on the target machine resolves the problem.

Design of setup.exe can make uninstallation of circularly dependent packages impossible

[Sridhar Ramesh]

I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list for this, but I'll give it a shot 
anyway.

I've been trying to uninstall the X11 packages for Cygwin, but a circular dependency 
combined with the nature of setup.exe seems to make this impossible. xorg-x11-bin 
requires libXft and libXft requires xorg-x11-bin. So, if both are installed, they 
become very difficult to remove: First you select one for uninstallation, then when 
you go to select the other for uninstallation you must toggle from Keep to Reinstall 
first, which reselects the first one for installation. The only possible way to select 
two things at once is if both are in the same category, but in this case, they aren't, 
so it appears there really is no way out. The same circular dependency problem exists 
with xorg-x11-bin and libXft1.

It seems this problem could easily be fixed if setup.exe toggled from Keep to 
Uninstall before toggling to Reinstall, instead of the current scheme. Then one could 
select packages for uninstallation without accidentally activating dependencies, and 
circularly dependent packages in different categories could thus be uninstalled.

Like I said, I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list on which to point out this 
problem. But for the time being, I just wanted to bring this to some attention (and 
also ask if there is any other way to uninstall X11).

I disagree.  He said he was doing this with many files.  It's far easier
to just mount the directory once as textmode and not have to change
anything than it is to edit all his scripts to run u2d afterward, and
have to remember to do that to all future scripts.  One "mount" command
versus potentially dozens of current and future script updates is hardly
a "sledgehammer for a nail".  Plus textmode mounts will keep his files
with DOS line endings no matter what processing he does, whereas "u2d"
requires that he remember to run that command any time he changes a file
with a cygwin program.  I don't see how you can advocate manually having
to do that every time when there's a feature built in to Cygwin to
handle this very thing and handle it more efficiently.

Here is fine for initial reports (providing they mention setup.exe in the

home of any developer-oriented discussion of setup.exe.

Very slow SCSI tape drive with cygwin/Win2kPro

[Bill Nugent]

Howdy,

I am having problems with very slowing reading from an Ultrium 1 SCSI 
tape drive (100GB capacity).  With the current version of cygwin (and 
older) the drive is reading less than 200KB/sec using tar, dd and cpio.  
The drive is capable of reading 16MB/sec.  There are no problems with 
Win2k's NTBackup and an evaluation version of the MKS Tool Kit so this 
appears to be a problem with cygwin.

The simplest way to see the problem is insert an Ultrium tape - say with 
the block size 16KB and run these commands with an otherwise quiescent 
system:

 mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 8192
 tar -tf /dev/nst0 -b 32

and the SCSI bus activity light flashes about 8 times per second.

The hardware is a 1.4GHz AMD Athlon with 512MB memory, Adaptec 2940UW 
SCSI controller with three SCSI disks and the Ultrium tape drive.

cygwin is the current version and win2k Pro has all the current patches 
according to Windows Update.

Block size does not seem to be a factor.  I've tried 8k, 16k and 32k 
(over 32k doesn't work for some reason).

I've searched the on the web, the manuals, the FAQ and the cygwin list 
archive.

Just in case it is helpful I've included the output from
"mt -f /dev/st0 status 3" after rebooting at the end.

 Thanks in advance,
 Bill

gobject-2.0 NOT FOUND!!

[Maya]

OS MSW-XP
When I try to compile a simple GTK+ program, after intalling the gtk+ packages from 
'cygwin' I get a message sying that 'gobject-2.0' was not found and to add to the 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH. I tried to do that but 'find.exe' cound not find a 'gobject-2.0.pc', 
in fact it does not exist!
Any body knows how to fix this problem?
TIA

Yes.  Trying to get a complete autoreconf was too difficult, as

new version of libtool after running configure.

I don't know WHY some programs use the private symbols, but apparently
there are some that do.  Hansom Young (CyGnome projects) mentioned
gnome-commander and d4x.  There could very well be others as well.
I personally have seen this with wxGTK2, but I backported some CVS
patches and now it builds; I'll have to test both wxGTK and wxGTK2 with
these changes to see if I didn't break anything; I'll keep you posted.

Re: environment variable name converted to upper case

I'm not sure what you mean by 'Posix shells'.  Shells that come with the
Cygwin environment don't expect uppercase.  Windows (and DOS) do, really.
Is it possible to change the behavior in Cygwin to selectively uppercase
environment variables inherited from Windows?  Sure.  I doubt it will happen
unless there's a really good reason to do so, since it introduces complexity.
But, if you decide to make the change yourself for your own needs, feel free
to submit the patch to cygwin-patches.  If I'm wrong and/or if you can make 
a good case for it, I'm sure it will be accepted.

Well, first let's start with the response I gave to your previous post
on this subject:



Can you fill us in on why this doesn't answer your question?

I don't see any reason to do so.  This is trivial to work around and
cygwin's current behavior has not changed for many years.

MinGW-CE anyone?

[Enzo Michelangeli]

Is there any package (gcc back-end) able to cross-compile, on a
Cygwin-based host, C programs for PocketPC 2003 (with ARM CPU), in a way
that does not require a non-MS support dll? In other words, something
similar to the MinGW mode enabled by -mno-cygwin, but generating PocketPC
executables instead of Win32.

TIA --

Enzo
