HUGE is not portable.  It's not defined in the standard, see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/math.h.html
Use HUGE_VAL instead. 

However, other definitions are missing in math.h, like HUGE_VALF,
HUGE_VALL, INFINITY and NAN.

Since math.h is part of newlib, I've redirect this posting to the
newlib mailing list.

bash and make are trapped in an endless loop

[Christian Matuszewski]

Hi,

if i start a fresh cygwin shell and I enter an asterisk at the prompt:
$ *
then nothing happens. That's OK, although one could expect a message like:
"bash: *: command not found".

But when i execute the following Makefile:
foo:
*

make will print the following lines to stderr:
PROJECT_NAME: not found
PROJECT_NUMBER: not found
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY: not found
CREATE_SUBDIRS: not found
OUTPUT_LANGUAGE: not found
USE_WINDOWS_ENCODING: not found
BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC: not found

and then make stays in an endless loop which prints lines
y
y
y

to stdout

When i then kill make with Ctrl-C and enter the asterisk in the command
line, I have the same behaviour, i. e. executing '*' will give the same
messages and ends in an endless loop.

OK - I changed the exports entry to:

/exports/c  rowan(rw,all_squash,anonuid=28803,anongid=10513)

More or less the same thing:  the mount of the exported filesystem
succeeds, but a "ls /xp" on the client machine hangs (unkillable) with
periodic messages:

nfs server l1422169:/exports/c: not responding

There are not new entries in /var/log/nfsd.log and the only entries in
/var/log/mountd.log show:

mountd[3604] 06/27/105 07:23 mountd.c 36 : NFS mount request completed 
(/exports/c, from 10.93.52.36)

Any other thoughts?

I am not sure what you mean by this - the XP server and FreeBSD client are
both connected to an office network via a single Ethernet interface.

Typing * as your command normally expands into a list of all the files in
that directory, then tries to execute the first file in that list (try
"echo *" to see what would happen).  Your desired error message will only
occur if filename expansion is disabled, such as by using "set -f".

Beyond that, the behavior that you get from typing * (or letting make type
it), depends on your current directory.  Based on your report, I'm
guessing that your first directory was empty, or started with a file that
was executable and did nothing; but when you switched to the directory
where your Makefile was, you happened to get a first filename listed that
was treated as a program and which entered into an infinite loop (the
infinite string of y's tends to imply that somewhere you invoked
/bin/yes).  But this behavior is not unique to cygwin.

I have gotten to the point where I am seeing reproducible crashes in a
plain debugging version of bash inside gdb, but that the problem appears
to be malloc'd memory corruption (I hate those bugs - they are so hard to
pinpoint).  I now have to attempt to build a malloc-debugging version of
bash, and see where bash is corrupting the heap.

I think this may be a valid point, actually.  The XP server probably has
other network interfaces defined (dial-up, or wireless if you have a
laptop, or a VPN of some sort).  Most likely they aren't enabled.  Some
programs (notably X, but probably the NFS server as well) may latch on to
the wrong interface, which is disabled.  X has a -from parameter to
specify which interface to use.  Don't know if NFS has a similar
parameter, but it may be worth investigating.

HTH,
Igor

OK, thank you very much, now I understand what's going on: In the current
directory is a Doxygen configuration file, which is executed. In this file
are some variables which are set to YES or NO. At some point this leads to
the execution of 'yes'...

Thank you for your time...

find *is* using the same date, but you may be running into filesystem
granularity issues.  FAT, for example, stores dates with the granularity
of 2 seconds.  You may also want to try "test AAA -nt BBB" and "test BBB
-nt AAA", to see whether you get results that are consistent with "find".

In the future, please *attach* the output of "cygcheck -svr" instead of
including it in-line.  It cuts down on false positive matches in archive
searches.

Still not enough information, but the "cygcheck -svr" output should
contain the missing bits.

Did you actually try the above advice of adding "tty" to your $CYGWIN?

Nope, not useful (different technique -- info catches SIGINT, and emacs
actually uses the Ctrl-C key combination).

Good, thanks.

group IDs

[Peter Green]

I am new to the list - apologies if this has
all been sorted out before, but I couldn't find the
solution.

Files I create from within Cygwin (e.g. by touch or
the output of gcc) have numerical group ID 10545,
while those created in Windows applications (e.g. Thunderbird,
Notetab) get group ID 4294967295. 'mkgroup' gives
'Users' the ID of 545.
This is confusing me, and giving me problems
accessing my own file s- how do I get all these IDs to agree?

I am running XP professional, version 2002, sp2
I downloaded Cygwin on 23 June 2005.

10545 is usually "Domain Users" (the domain user and group ids are offset
by 1 by default).  545 is local "Users".  4294967295 is really "-1" --
see  for an
explanation.  "getfacl" (or NT's "cacls") should give you the actual
owner/group.

To get the domain groups into /etc/group, use "mkgroup -d >> /etc/group"
(warning -- may take a *long* time in large domains).  You can give the
"-g" flag to mkgroup to extract specific domain groups.  Similarly, for
domain users, use "mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd" (same warning applies).
See "man mkpasswd" and "man mkgroup" for more information.

  4294967295 is -1, which is an error return, not a gid.  Have you set up
your /etc/group file correctly?

I don't think this is the issue - looking under "Network Connections", I
see only "Local Area Connection", Type "LAN or High-Speed Internet", Status
"Enabled".

However, after some more experimentation, I see the "ls /xp" eventually
does return, after about 17 minutes.  So it appears as though NFS kind of
works, but so slowly as to be useless.  There is no problem with other
types of network access, e.g., I am logged on to the client machine vai ssh
without problems.

It looks like NFS is not completely to blame.  It turns out that doing an
"ls" on the directory "/c" or "/exports/c" (both mount points for c:) is
also unusually slow, though it takes a mere 45 seconds rather than 17
minutes to return.  If I export and mount a subdirectory of c:, however,
NFS seems to work satisfactorily.  I notice that "ls" reports:

/bin/ls: hiberfil.sys: No such file or directory
/bin/ls: pagefile.sys: No such file or directory

"ls hi" completes to "ls hiberfil.sys", and shows the same message.

Could this have something to do with the slow response?  Although if I do
an "ls h*", the above response comes back immediately, not after a wait.

Trouble finding the package the command "watch" is in

[John Petritis]

I am looking for the command named "watch"

I am trying to find the package it is located in.
I haven't had any luck finding it through various search strategies.
My trouble is probably due to it being such a common word.
So I have 2 questions?

1) Which package do I need to install to get the "watch" command
2) Is there some sort of way I can list what is in packages to find
which package it is in?

(I really don't want to have to download the source and grep through it)

Thank You,

John Petritis

  Go to http://cygwin.com/packages/ and enter the name of the file you're
seeking.  It'll tell you which package contains it.

  If you get too many matches, and you know that what you're looking for is
the name of the main executable, you can cut down the false matches by
explicitly appending the '.exe' suffix.  Take a look at

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=watch.exe

and you'll see there's only two possibilities left.  I'll leave it for you
from there!

Re: Trouble finding the package the command "watch" is in

[Mark Paulus]

Generally you can find a certain file by going to the cygwin
website, and then selecting Setup Package Search under
the Software heading from the main menu on the left hand side.

In this particular case, watch is connected to many packages,
so from experience, I'll tell you that it is included with the 
procps package.

1) It's usually better to use "bin/watch\b" (or even
"bin/watch(\.exe|\s|$)"), which will take care of symlinks and non-exe
scripts as well...

2) Once Brian's patch is applied, the latest snapshots (and later Cygwin
releases) should allow one to simply run the "cygcheck -p 'bin/watch\b'"
to get the results listed on the console (ping CGF)...

No, that's entirely unrelated.  In recent Cygwin snapshots the message
from ls has changed to "Device or resource busy" and you get an ls
output for these files.  It's just an open() on exclusively locked files
which fails in the above cases.

Along these lines, we had a short discussion on the developers list
and we're wondering if it's necessary that ls prints this error message
at all.  The message is generated after a stat() already succeeded and
a follow up acl() call returns -1.  To say it with Dave Korn's words:

ISTM that ls has all the information it should need to DTRT - a successful
call to stat(), a return value of -1 from acl() and (I would hope that)
errno has EACCES(*) from the ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION return should let it
deduce 'the file exists but is locked', shouldn't it?

Eric?


Corinna

(*) actually EBUSY.

ImageMagick: 6.0.4-1 offset in -crop option of convert doesn't work

[Pascal COURTOIS]

Hi,

when using convert with an offset in crop option the image returned is 
broken:


convert foobar.gif -crop "100x150+20+30" result.gif

should return a 100x150 picture positioned at 20,30 in the original picture

any non zero values for position makes a picture of width and height 
requested (100x150
in above example) but positioned at 0,0 with a top border of  "y 
position" height (30 in the
above example) and a left border of "x position" width (20 in the above 
example)


same command works fine on unix

Thanks

It seems like it is a cygwin DLL issue.  I'll look into fixing it for 1.5.18.

Or maybe he wants MAXFLOAT (largest finite value representable in

As requested I searched the archive to get into 'synch' with the current
discussion on support for (or lack of support for) IPv6 in Cygwin.   The most
relevant post in the archive seemed to be from June 17, 2005:

I got no reply from Jun-ya, but he's still keeping his page in sync
with the latest Cygwin release.  I'll ask him again if and when he's
going to contribute code.

I'd bet that, somewhere in your setup, you've got 
"C:\cygwin\usr\include" where it should be either 
"C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include" or "C:/cygwin/usr/include".

As a WAG though, I'd say you're using DOS paths with a Cygwin shell.

Please visit  for answers to questions 
like this.  If you don't find something there, you can be assured that 
if such a package exists, it's not available via 'setup.exe'.  Googling
is likely your best bet then.

HUGE is not portable.  It's not defined in the standard, see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/math.h.html
Use HUGE_VAL instead. 


However, other definitions are missing in math.h, like HUGE_VALF,
HUGE_VALL, INFINITY and NAN.



I'll take a look at adding these unless you want to.  HUGE_VALL is the 
only one that is difficult.



Since math.h is part of newlib, I've redirect this posting to the
newlib mailing list.

Sorry - totally missed the CYGWIN var.  This worked as expected.  Confused
because previous to 1.5.17 I didn't have this set, AFAIK.

Have you applied the Cygwin specific patch as it was used to build
apache 1.3.33 for the Cygwin releaseof Apache: 
http://cygwin.com/packages/apache/ ?


Rebuilding from source with the Cygwin Apache source package should
work.



Using google to search for this problem only gave me some answers from
2002 and 2004 about ld and auto import.  No recent information is
available (or at least indexed).  I receive similar issues when
attempting to compile PHP V 4.2.0 - 5.x.You help is greatly
appreciated.  Thanks!

Hmm - murky waters here.  It would be a simple one-line fix to
coreutils/lib/acl.c to ignore EBUSY as a non-error, and POSIX has
no requirements per se that a failure of acl() should imply a failure
of ls(1).  Should a busy file be conservatively treated as having an
ACL (designated with '+' in the mode string) or left alone without
one (designated with ' ' in the mode string) when cygwin is unable
to query Windows without blocking for an undue length of time?
Right now, I'm almost leaning for a third option, and displaying '?'
or some other character to mean unable to determine, but that
would be more work (the gnulib library file_has_acl already returns
-1 on failure, 0 on no ACL, and 1 on ACL; perhaps make it return
2 on indeterminate).  Should such a change be propagated to
coreutils and gnulib, or left as a cygwin-local patch?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] NEW: alternatives-1.3.20a-1

[Charles Wilson]

This package provides mechanisms for maintaining a database of, and
managing, other packages which might be in conflict with each other.
The end user can easily switch between the desired versions.

This implementation was adapted from the version included in Red 
Hat/Fedora's 'chkconfig' package.  It has been autoconfiscated, 
chkconfig/ntsysv removed, and adapted for the cygwin packaging standard.


It is not typical for an end user to directly use these tools, UNLESS 
the maintainer(s) of conflicting packages have 'alternativized' them. 
(e.g. 'alternatives' relies on cooperating packages in order to 
successfully manage their conflicts.)  At present, there are no cygwin 
packages which have been alternativized, but the five automake1.X 
packages will soon be released in alternativized form.


From the man page:
--
alternatives creates, removes, maintains and displays information about
the symbolic links comprising the alternatives system. The alternatives
system is a reimplementation of the Debian alternatives system. It  was
rewritten primarily to remove the dependence on perl; it is intended to
be a drop in replacement for Debian's update-dependencies script.  This
man page is a slightly modified version of the man page from the Debian
project.
