Re: tetex 3.0.0-3 format file problem [tetex maintainer -- please respond]

What happened here is that the latex FMT file was somehow produced by
plain tex, not by pdfetex.  In tetex-2.x, latex was a symlink to tex,
whereas in 3.0 it is a symlink to pdfetex.

The FMT files are produced by running texconfig-sys init, which is run
during postinstall.  The latex-pdfetex version chokes on the invalid
FMT file, so that file must be regenerated.

The most common problems have to do with file permissions or manually
edited config files.

Easiest is to rerun setup.exe and reinstall the tetex-base package and
see if that works.  Otherwise, remove the latex.fmt file (`kpsewhich
latex.fmt' prints the full file name).  Run `texconfig-sys init' to
generate the latex.fmt file.

I'd be interested to learn what exactly did not work, or what fixed
it.

What config files did you have to remove?  It would be nice to check
for those in the postinstall script.

cygrunsrv: Error stopping a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1053

[Morten Kjærulff]

Hi,

When I try to stop my cygrunsrv I get the following error:
cygrunsrv: Error stopping a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I get the same error if try to stop from the windows service panel.

I have also tried with the previous version of cygrunsrv, same result.

Below is the commands i used, and the result.

Thanks.

There's a -0 option already.  Otherwise, a line per service sounds good.

And just for the records, Solaris usually creates cpio archives which are
compatible with Cygwin.  The output of file shows:

Solaris$ find . | cpio -o > x.cpio
Cygwin$ file x.cpio
x.cpio: byte-swapped cpio archive

Solaris$ find . | cpio -oc > x.cpio
Cygwin$ file x.cpio
x.cpio: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)

I just tried it, out of curiosity.  Both variations are readable by
GNU cpio.

It may not work to start a script directly.  Start the shell that
executes the script.

-p /bin/sh \

Command to move groups of files

[Jonathan Arnold]

Somone a month or so ago posted a list of little known Cygwin
commands, and in that list was a cool command that allowed you
to rename a list of files, like thus:
 cmd First*.* Second*.*
which would rename all files starting with "First" to be "Second".
I used this command a bit, and then promptly forgot about it until
I really needed to use it yesterday.
Could someone remind me of the name of that command?

You must be thinking of "rename" from the new cygutils.  FWIW, a Google
search for "zzapper commands cygwin rename" brought it up as the first
hit (I just happened to remember exactly *who* posted that list). :-)

I'm not sure that's the exact post, but it's ironic that cgf's reply
to it says that the challenge will be to remember the command exists! Well,
I remembered it existed, just not what it was.
But I did try "man -k files", and I now notice that rename doesn't show up
in the list. Is there something I'm supposed to run to update the -k
database?

Yes, I remember the command.  Its name is:

  mv $ff Second${ff#First}

RE: tetex 3.0.0-3 format file problem

First (ref. messages 943, 789), I suspect now I was in error in
saying that removing config files fixed the problem.  In fact I
nuked a whole '$TEXMFLOCAL/web2c' directory; I suspect now that
the operative change was removing '$TEXMFLOCAL/web2c/latex.fmt'.

On the other hand, at some earlier point (ref. messages 789,
769), teTeX 3 had installed a set of tex-generated (therefore
pdfetex- incompatible) format files in '$TEXMFVAR'.  Maybe stale
config files contributed to that; I couldn't really say.

> I'd be interested to learn what exactly did not work, or what

The story goes like this:

*   Upgrade from teTeX 2 to teTeX 3.0.0-[12].  Can't LaTeX anything.
Observe that the old '$TEXMFMAIN/web2c/texmf.cnf' file is out of
date (and that the new 'texmf.cnf.cygwin-*' is much improved).
Replace the old with the new.  Problem is gone.

*   Upgrade from teTex 3.0.0-[12] to teTeX 3.0.0-3.  Can't LaTeX
anything.   On Jan Nieuwenhuizen's advice, remove
'$TEXMFVAR/web2c/latex.fmt'; now the operative LaTeX format file
is '$TEXMFLOCAL/web2c/latex.fmt'.  Still can't LaTeX anything.
After much threshing around, remove 'web2c/latex.fmt' (and all
the rest of 'web2c', and all '*/config' directories) from
'$TEXMFLOCAL' and reinstall teTeX.  Problem is gone.

New error: chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp': Permission denied

[Sean Aitken]

Good morning,
I have just recently started banging away at a problem with sshd and 
Windows Server 2003 again.  This has been a difficult journey, but I 
feel we're making progress.

Today, I noticed for the first time the following error message appears 
when a non-admin user logs in to cygwin:

--
chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp': Permission denied
--
This seems to be caused by this line in the /etc/profile file:
[/etc/profile] ===
...
if [ -d "/tmp" ]; then
chmod 1777 /tmp
fi
...
==
Should I just ignore this warning? I had this problem with an existing 
install on cygwin, and with a completely fresh install (after mkgroup / 
mkpasswd), it happens also!

The permissions on the root are:
.
.
total 8
drwxr-x---+  9 saitken Users   0 May 17 10:32 .
drwxr-x---+  9 saitken Users   0 May 17 10:32 ..

Any ideas would be appreciated. For the time being, I will just ignore 
the error.

Best regards,

Yeah, Google's a bit off (it gets you the thread, though).  Searching for

  I notice from the directory listing that some of the dirs belong to
"Users" yet the home directory belongs to "Domain Users".  Looks like you
were logged in as a local user when you installed, but you were logged in as
a domain user when you ran mkpasswd/mkgroup for the first time and the
/etc/skel scripts created the home dirs.

  Do domain users have write access rights to your local HD?  Did you run
both mkpasswd and mkgroup using *both* the '-l' *and* the '-d' options to
get full listings?  What does 'getfacl /tmp' tell you?  What does 'cd / ;
cacls tmp' show?

This is just the problem with chmod in the base-files package.

Using Perl to access serial ports

[Jason Pearce]

There was some recent discussion about serial ports and Perl.
   http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00013.html
But I did not see any resolution.
Did anyone end up porting either Win32::SerialPort or Win32API::CommPort 
as Reini suggested?

I need to talk to a thermometer via a serial link. The protocol is not 
very complex.
Could I just use a system call to stty to set the baudrate and then pipe 
the thermometer comand to /dev/ttyS0 and read the response from 
/dev/ttyS0 using file handles?

Reini - you suggested adding cygwin support for Device::SerialPort would 
be the easiest route. Do you still recommend this? I am not very 
familiar with Windows API library, but could I just use Win32::API to 
call some already existing entry points in Windows?

Regards,
Jason

You have to install make!  Run setup.exe again, and click on "Devel"
when you get to "Select Packages".  Then select make.  If you are missing
something this basic then you probably need to install gcc, too.

It may not work to start a script directly.  Start the shell that
executes the script.

-p /bin/sh \

After you install make and gcc (Chris displayed his powers of prescience!)
and re-run configure again, you probably run make without editing the
Makefile.  As I understand it, configure is creating a Makefile that is
adjusted for what is available on your system.

configure seemed to look for automake and autoconf, so you might want to
install those packages, too.  It should make make report some "yes"es where
it currently reports "no"s.

New User question

[mimiller]

I've checked the docs, faq and google, but can't find an exact answer...
I have a program vic that transmits/receives video over a multicast network 
connection.  The program runs fine when I'm in cygwin, but the larger 
package I am using expects it to run in windows.  So to make the 
integration work, I'd like to find a way to run cygwin and my vic program 
then have the cygwin environment quit when I quit the vic program.  My 
first guess was;
c:cygwin\bin>cygwin vic
but I get an error: cannot execute binary file
I also tried
c:cygwin\bin>bash vic
and got the same error.

I'm hoping I've explained what I want to do clearly.  If more info is 
needed, please let me know.  I know this a roundabout way to get this done, 
but the source is not available.

CVS SSH connection timeout

[Singh, Mahendra]

 Hello, 
I have installed CYGWIN on my XP box.  I have also successfully setup CVS
and added various projects to it.
I am attempting to allow remote users access to my CVS respositiory.  I do
this by running the sshd server and allow users to connect via ssh.
This was working fine a few days ago, but no, when users try to connect by
specifying my Interenet IP, a connection refused occurs.
I have confired that my firewall and router is allowing access to port 22.

Anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?

Also, how can I create a group, assign users to that group and have that
group be the owner of the CVS repository directories and files?
I would like to try this to see if it would help. Thank you.

Btw, recent snapshots should cause test./test2 to be equivalent to test/test2 .
This will be the behavior in 1.5.17.

Splint parseerror with

[only4]

Splint parseerror with 

VERSION: Splint: 3.1.1

DESCRIPTION:
Every C code that imports  causes an unrecoverable parse error.
#include 

REPRODUCTION:
To reproduce the error:
write this file.c:
---
#include 
int main() { return 0; }
---

then 'splint file.c'
Splint 3.1.1 --- 02 May 2003

/usr/include/pthread.h:75:43: Parse Error. (For help on parse errors, see
   splint -help parseerrors.)
*** Cannot continue.

Splint 3.1.1 --- 02 May 2003

SOLUTION:
Explicitly define __CYGWIN__ flag for splint.
otherwise your system headers will not be processed right.

splint +D__CYGWIN__ file.c

LOG OF FIXING PROCEDURE:

USERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO READ THIS.
INTENDED FOR DEVELOPERS AID.

# 15-may-2005:

in my installation, a grep -n into pthread.h at lines 70-80 looks:

70-#define PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS 0
71-#define PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM 1
72-
73-
74-/* Attributes */
75:int pthread_attr_destroy (pthread_attr_t *);
76-int pthread_attr_getdetachstate (const pthread_attr_t *, int *);
77-int pthread_attr_getinheritsched (const pthread_attr_t *, int *);
78-int pthread_attr_getschedparam (const pthread_attr_t *, struct
sched_param *)
;
79-int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy (const pthread_attr_t *, int *);
80-int pthread_attr_getscope (const pthread_attr_t *, int *);

So the problematic row is
int pthread_attr_destroy (pthread_attr_t *);
where ')' is the 43-th char.

# 16 may 2005:
with other splint options:
$ splint +posixlib
$ splint +posixstrictlib
$ splint +trytorecover
remains the same, but with:

$ splint +posixlib +trytorecover
$ splint +posixstrictlib +trytorecover
the error shift to line 79:

Splint 3.1.1 --- 02 May 2003

/usr/include/pthread.h:79:56: Parse Error.  Too many errors, giving up.
*** Cannot continue.

that is on character ',':
79-int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy (const pthread_attr_t *, int *);

So the error is clearly placed after a declaration of pointer pthread_attr_t
*.
Why complain about a ')' or ',' there?
What is Splint expecting there?

# 17 may 2005:
now a trip in sys/types.h, where you will find pthread_attr_t is defined as
a struct:

308-typedef struct {
309-  int is_initialized;
310-  void *stackaddr;
311-  int stacksize;
312-  int contentionscope;
313-  int inheritsched;
314-  int schedpolicy;
315-  struct sched_param schedparam;
316-
317-  /* P1003.4b/D8, p. 54 adds cputime_clock_allowed attribute.  */
318-#if defined(_POSIX_THREAD_CPUTIME)
319-  int  cputime_clock_allowed;  /* see time.h */
320-#endif
321-  int  detachstate;
322-
323:} pthread_attr_t;

But this isn't true, sys/types.h don't define pthread_attr_t, in Cygwin!
Go up until a of a top-level

#if defined(_POSIX_THREADS) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)

with a meaningful comment:

/* Cygwin will probably never have full posix compliance due to little
things
 * like an inability to set the stackaddress. Cygwin is also using void *
 * pointers rather than structs to ensure maximum binary compatability with
 * previous releases.
 * This means that we don't use the types defined here, but rather in
 * 
 */

So, the real target is: grep -n pthread_attr /usr/include/cygwin/types.h

212:typedef struct __pthread_attr_t {char __dummy;} *pthread_attr_t;

ok, it's a dummy one, but I don't see language-specific errors here.

# 19 may 2005:
CATCHED
I re-read the directive
#if defined(_POSIX_THREADS) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
and realized that splint may have not __CYGWIN__ setted...

splint +D__CYGWIN__ file.c

WORKS!
This can suggest further investigation, to find
why the missing __CYGWIN__ ?
are there other missing flags too?

# 20-may-2005:
I'm now investigatin who sets __CYGWIN__, and why splint don't have it.

Uh?  Cygwin is running under windows, what you really mean is that you want your
program to be executed by another program or only under the windows command 
prompt.

You don't say if this test is under the windows cmd.exe (aka. Command Prompt),
but it looks like it is... so first you opened the "Command Prompt", changed dir
to cygwin, saw that there was a cygwin.bat and tried to run it with vic as
parameter... no luck, cygwin.bat doesn't work like that but, did you notice that
the bash prompt came and you changed directory to your home directory? that's
what cygwin.bat does.

Second test... well bash is not used like that either, if you want bash to
execute a command (look at man bash) you have to use, for instance, "bash -c 
vic".

> I'm hoping I've explained what I want to do clearly.

No, you didn't.

Have you tried just running your program?  It should work, with or without a
cygwin window (which is runnig bash or rxvt and bash or any other of the many
possibilities).  What's the catch? that it will only run in machines that have
the necessary cygwin libraries (dll), that usually means in machines that have
Cygwin instaled but you can transport your program with the necessary libraries.

So this proves that sshd is running.

Windows XP firewall, most likely.

I had this problem, perhaps caused by testing stunnel, the solution was to add
(again) sshd.exe to the list of exceptions in Winblows firewall settings.

Just as a note, I'm using port forwarding at my router since my computer is
behind NATP.

Just create the user and group under windows, re-run mkpasswd and mkgroup (just
append the new user and group), then configure cvs to use those (usually in the
repository passwd file).

I usually include acronyms as I encounter them on the list.  This
particular acronym I haven't seen used yet.  If you do use it, I'll be
sure to add it to the OLOCA.

FWIW, I've changed the wording at the bottom of the OLOCA a while ago to
clarify when acronym suggestions should be sent.  Please read it
carefully.

RE: CVS SSH connection timeout

[Singh, Mahendra]

Thanks much.  The problem was that my router had an IP filter to block port
22 (must have been caused by me screwing around, cause it was working last
week)

Regarding the Groups and password.  I have created a Group called Developers
and added 3 users to it.  You mention "configure cvs to use those".  How do
I go about doing this?  There is no password file in my cvs repository or
any of the subdirectories under there  (the repository is located at
/home/cvsroot) .

Thanks much, I appreciate the help

The easiest thing to do would be to make the CVS repository owned by the
Developers group, with the setgid flag set (i.e., "chmod g+s"), readable
and writeable to the group.  Then any user that belongs to the Developers
group should be able to ssh in and access the repository (using the :ext:
method with ssh).

The cvs passwd is used in the :pserver: method, which you probably don't
want to use.

It's been a while, but I was only able to get Win32::SerialPort working under
