building a cross compiling cygwin gcc on linux

[Michael Richardson]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-


I was reading the various posts on cross compilating stuff.
(I want to build *CYGWIN* stuff on Linux. I don't need MINGW32)

I can certainly install the MINGW32 .deb package, but that doesn't give me
the cygwin stuff that I want.

Ironically, if you google for "cygwin cross compiler linux"
(including the quotes), you only get Christopher Faylor's post telling
everyone that you should google for that :-)

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg02047.html
for instance says:

  "Brought over /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/include from my Cygwin machine,
  put in $HOME/cross/i386-pc-cygwin/lib, ...-cygwin/usr/lib, and
  ...-cygwin/include respectively..."

I'm always disturbed by this. Why should I have to copy stuff from a cygwin
machine?  Shouldn't I be able to build all of that with my cross compiler?

After lots of googling, I came up with:

  http://www.wxwidgets.org/technote/crosscmp.htm is a better description,
  but is rather dated (since it talks about egcs...)

  http://is.rice.edu/~welsh/cross-compiler/Cross-Compiling-bookmarks.html
  has lots of bookmarks, alas:
http://troy.il.fontys.nl/~jasper/linux/cross.html

  is no more. Try:
  
http://web.archive.org/web/20011104203312/http://troy.il.fontys.nl/~jasper/linux/cross.html

  Also dated, refers to egcs.

  http://www.delorie.com/howto/cygwin/cygwin-cross-howto.html is also very 
dated.

I worked with the debian mingw32 with -nostdlib/-nostdinc and -isystem
pointed to a copy of the stuff copied from the win32 machine, for awhile.

I just now got all the issues sorted out with the cross-build.

WHAT I DID.

{In the course of this, I think that cygwin copied binutils CVS into the
winsup CVS. Maybe I'm crazy. The CVS logs shows a full history, so...
But, binutils isn't needed anymore}

Pick a directory to build in. In my case /0g/sandboxes

0) download, ./configure, make and install cocom from
   http://cocom.sourceforge.net/ 
   (They have an RPM, but I didn't find a .deb)
   This gets you the "shakli" program. It is a program to help create
   fast parsers. I think it is used for the fs emulation layer.

a) extract gcc-4.0.1
b) check out winsup as told on:
   http://cygwin.com/cvs.html

d) cd winsup
  ln -s ../gcc-4.0.1/fixincludes .
  ln -s ../gcc-4.0.1/gcc .
  ln -s ../gcc-4.0.1/libcpp .
  ln -s ../gcc-4.0.1/libstdc++-v3 .
  rm -rf winsup/mingw   # has CC_FOR_TARGET/CC mixups
  rm -rf sid# has some problem,and we don't need it
  rm -rf rda# has dependancy on intl, which
# doesn't get built.


MAKE SURE THAT "." is not in your PATH.
Some symlinks are made by the name "as" which can screw things up.

e) cd ..
   mkdir build
   cd build

   ../../winsup/configure --prefix=/myprefix/cross --target=i686-pc-cygwin 
--without-headers --with-newlib --disable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++
   make
   mkdir -p /myprefix/cross/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.0.1/install-tools/include
   make install

f) cat hello/hello.c
#include 

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("hello there\n");
}

cd hello
PATH=/myprefix/cross/bin:$PATH export PATH
make CC=i686-pc-cygwin-gcc hello
scp hello win2kmachine:
ssh win2kmachine ./hello

g) build your favorite stuff, e.g:
   extract libgmp4,
   mkdir build/gmp4
   cd build/gmp4
   PATH=/myprefix/cross/bin:$PATH export PATH
   CC=i686-pc-cygwin-gcc ../../gmp-4.1.2/configure 
--prefix=/myprefix/cross/i686-pc-cygwin/include --host=i686-pc-cygwin --with-pic

   (--with-pic gets rid of some issues that I had with the assembly,
   at a cost of some performance)


WHAT I FIXED


CC and CC_FOR_TARGET are confused a lot in the winsup makefiles.
CC is only when building stuff you need to run on the local machine.
The patch is attached against CVS from 2005-08-03.

I had an issue with cp-demangle.c. I never resolved it. I don't get it.
I later found that it was because I had linked libstdc++ to the gcc-3.4.3
version rather than the gcc-4.0.1 version.

I "fixed" it by doing:

In winsup/cygwin/Makefile.in, the build of cygwin0.dll (aka ${TEST_DLL_NAME}),
has to reference -lcygwin, which hasn't been built/installed yet. (it is in
. as libcygwin.a)

I actually don't think we should -lcygwin at all. Two possible solutions are:

  a)  -nostdlib -lstdc++ -luser32 -lkernel32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lgcc
  b)  -L.

I prefer (a), because we shouldn't be referencing it all.

I was not able to build mingw, which is why I move it aside in (d).
I did not investigate this deeply, since I don't care about native code for
the moment.

WHAT I DID WRONG


The first time, I tried building binutils seperately.
This failed when building GCC 3.x. The problem is that the AR_FOR_TARGET
macros used in the makefiles for gcc are, it seems expanded a variable number
of times in different paths, and the t=/

And you also need to use a shared libmysqlclient library.



Really?  Why?


Libtool chokes when there is no shared library to link against.  This 
cannot be changed without patching libtool.



This is a fair inconvenience because Cygwin builds of MySQL aren't easy 
to come by, probably because the official Win32 build of MySQL works so 
well.


My latest diff files are from January, *should * still work.


I would rather continue with my present scheme, which is using an import 
library for the native build's DLL.  This is, in effect, a "shared 
libmysqlclient library", but I have a feeling that you mean a 
Cygwin-built .so file instead.


You need a Cygwin libmysqlclient DLL.

Now that I have the MySQL++ DLL building, I have a new problem, which is 
that the examples segfault as soon as they try to use anything from the 
DLL.  Is this due to using an import library to link to a VC++-built DLL 
instead of a Cygwin-built .so file?


Yes.


Older versions of libtool as included with the tarball don't work.



I'll add that to the MySQL++ FAQ.

FWIW, I always use the installed autotools (not the ones in the 
tarball), as I always use the autotools in "maintainer mode".



 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'coldata.h' '/usr/include/coldata.h'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'compare.h' '/usr/include/compare.h'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'connection.h' '/usr/include/connection.h'
[...]
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'vallist.h' '/usr/include/vallist.h'

You should put the headers into a separate directory, e.g.
/usr/include/mysql++.



The README.unix file recommends that people use the --includedir 
configure flag to effect this.


Ok.  I really think it should default to a separate directory though.



Send you a patchfile with PM.



I got it...it seems to just be all the autotools-generated stuff.  Did I 
miss a subtlety, skipping over all that?


No you're right, only change besides regenerating configure and
Makefile.in was in Makefile.am where I added --no-undefined to LDFLAGS.


Thanks for your help so far, Gerrit.

X11 icons without stripes?

Hallöchen!

I use Cygwin under Win2k.  When I start X11 apps remotely on a Linux
box through an "ssh -X" tunnel, their icons (e.g. in the taskbar)
have black horizontal stripes.  Is there a way to get rid of them?

How about being a bit more "positive" when checking for perl?  The
following patch tests whether the dll being built contains an object
called 'perl.o' (would we have to check $(OBJ_EXT)?  I hope not -
perlld is cygwin and cygwin has '.o'):

I admit that I have not yet rebuilt perl with this perlld -
but mod_perl now takes the perlld step without being renamed.

P.S.: In the meantime I managed to compile mod_auth_kerb as well,
linking against /usr/bin/libhttpd as you recommended.  So my mod_perl
deviation had its merits :-)

P.P.S.: In my "success story" about mod_perl I forgot to mention that
I had to run rebaseall to get the server running.

P.P.P.S.: Ah, yes, and I had to re-install emacs because it got stuck
in an endless loop immediately after starting (consuming 100% CPU)
after the rebaseall.

Okay...that gets the DLL to build.  For the archives, the pthread

But the MySQL++ examples still hang when built against a Cygwin MySQL

This is with a native server?  Or a Cygwin server?


With a native Linux server, on another box.  :)

You might be interested to try it yourself.  Apply the attached patch to 
MySQL++.  Then say "./bootstrap" to re-build all the autoconf stuff, and 
then "make" them.  The very first example you need to run, 
examples/resetdb, exhibits the problem.


But don't bother if you're not personally interested.  I've all but 
given up myself, because of the whole Cygwin GPL issue.  The main point 
of getting shared libraries working is to be able to comply with the 
LGPL (which MySQL++ is licensed under) in a commercial program.  But 
past posts on this list say there are very few commercial Cygwin 
licensees.  How many commercial licensees can there be that also want to 
use MySQL++?


I think efforts are better spent elsewhere, unless there's an easy fix, 
or someone is chasing this problem for reasons not specifically related 
to MySQL++.


Thanks for your help in any case.  You've answered my questions with 
aplomb.  Perhaps the answers will be useful to someone else, in a 
slightly different situation.

gz files in man folders

[James McLaughlin]

While trying to find the file containing the man
information for g++ (which I succeeded in doing), I
noticed that in various subfolders of
c:\cygwin\share\man (in particular man1 and man3) a
lot of the .1 and .3 (and.something else for the other
subfolders) files were gzipped. This surprised me as
they were pretty small files.

Is there any reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to
extract some of these (for convenience next time I'm
looking for things related to man or just "tinkering
under the bonnet")?

Thanks,

James McLaughlin

PS. Thanks to everyone who replied re my last posting.
I couldn't find the newlib folder as described, though
I haven't got the latest version and I may have made a
mistake in deciding what not to install - but thanks anyway!

For files under 1k, zipping doesn't save any disk space (disk space is
used a block at a time, whether you use the entire block or not), and
wastes CPU cycles as it spawns the extra processes to unzip it.  But for
some man pages, the zipping is an improvement in filesize, so the default
maintainer's script for packaging in cygwin purposefully gzips all man
pages.  Man also purposefully zips (bzip2, not gzip) all cat pages, if you
have /var/cache/man/cat?/ directories.  I do note that in general, bzip2
gets better compression ratios on ASCII text, so maybe we should switch
the cygwin default compression engine for man pages?

I'm personally happy with either approach, compressed or plain-text,
because I have plenty of hard drive space, and in practice I don't notice
the delay of the extra gunzip process in the loop.

  Actually, on a 'doze system, the relevant minimum size is the cluster size
on the drive in question.  IIUIC thatcould be as much as 32k if you're using
a very big HD on an old 9x-based system  but for most of us, running on
NTFS, it'll be 4k.  (And if by 'block' you mean 'sector', aren't they still
512 bytes?  According to msdn default 4kb clustersize == 8 sectors...)

Hi,

I am seeing the same problem. I had a working cygwin
installation. I downloaded a new package which
wouldn't work with the existing bash shell. So, I
updated the core libraries/bash and Control-V - mapped
to "paste-from-clipboard" in my .inputrc stopped
working. "bind -p" now shows \C-v is mapped to Quoted
Insert.
bind -f ~/.inputrc doesn't work either :(

Please help.

It has everything to do with your stty settings.  ^v is normally mapped to
lnext (literal next-character) on terminals, and readline 5.0 apparently
tries to honor your stty settings (where lnext is a perfect match to the
readline function quoted-insert) in preference to your .inputrc.
Meanwhile, emacs likes ^q as quoted-insert, although terminals usually
default ^q to start, start overrides lnext if both are given the same
character, and stop (usually ^s) without start will let you hang a
terminal.  So, try "stty lnext ^q stop undef start undef" and see if that
helps with your desired setting for ^v.

As to whether readline should be prefering your stty settings over your
.inputrc, I will have to do more investigation.

  Yes, use the -mno-cygwin flag (as well as -shared if building a .dll).
That will give you an .exe or .dll that is essentially a mingw application,
i.e. win32 native, and does not link against the cygwin dll or libraries at
all.

  Of course, without cygwin, you can't use any of the POSIX APIs it
implements.  You can still use the limited subset implemented in mingw
though.

Try "ssh -Y" instead of "ssh -X".  For reasons, see the Cygwin/X FAQ

more in insert and copy from clipboard

[J. David Boyd]

Is there some setting that tells Cygwin to use/not use the windows clipboard.

For the longest time, I have been merryly cutting and pasting between firefox,
notepad, a bash shell, emacs, etc, all using ctrl-insert and shft-insert.

Sometime in the recent past, this no longer works.  I can cut and paste
between all of my cygwin programs no problem, but there is no communication
with the windows side of things.

Did I turn off something somewhere.  I've perused the docs some, but haven't

Nope, Cygwin *always* uses the Windows clipboard when you use
/dev/clipboard.  If that's not what you mean, you'll have to be more
specific about exactly what you're trying to do.

Are you complaining that the bash shell no longer uses Ctrl-Insert to copy
and Shift-Insert to paste?  What do you use to select the text to
copy/paste?  If you use the mouse, then it's not the bash shell that
copies the text -- it's the console that the shell is running in (i.e., a
cmd.exe window).  AFAIK, that uses the Windows clipboard, just like all
the other Windows apps.  Pasting, however, could happen either via the
console, or via a Bash key binding.

> Did I turn off something somewhere.  I've perused the docs some, but
> haven't found anything worthwhile yet.

Why not take those on one at a time?  Are you able to copy the text from
bash to other apps?  If not, there's something wrong with the console
settings -- select "Properties" from the Alt-Space menu, and see if the
"QuickEdit Mode" is selected.  That should let you mark text with the
mouse and press Enter to copy it to the clipboard (don't think Ctrl-Insert
will work).

Pasting can happen in two ways.  If QuickEdit mode is enabled,
right-clicking in the console window should paste the clipboard contents
(via the Windows means).  Or, bash has a function called
"paste-from-clipboard" that you can bind a key combo to in your ~/.inpurc.
Try binding, say, the Shift-Insert key combination to that function, and
it should work.

If this doesn't help, please describe exactly what you're trying to do,
what worked before, and what doesn't work now.  Getting some information
about your system as requested in  would
also help.
Igor

Extending Cygwin Linux API - how to expose new API

[Eitan Eliahu]

Folks,
I would like to add a function to the Cygwin Linux API. Since the .def file 
is automatically generated this function can not be listed there. I am 
wondering if I need to have the keyword __export before the function but I 
noticed that other API functions don't use export.

Is there any file where all the API functions are listed?

Thanks a lot!

Outbound telnet/ftp from cygwin not working

[Michael Rilling]

I've googled and can't find answers to my issue.  Several people have
mentioned the same issue, but no replies.  Hope you can help.

I've installed the latest cygwin base on my XP SP2 machine.
I've also installed inetutils along with the X stuff.

I'm trying to do a simple telnet from within cygwin.
I run the cygwin.bat file and type telnet (external-host) and always get 
telnet: tcp/telnet: unknown service

Yet when I run the windows telnet client to the same/any host, it works fine.

I have similar issues with FTP.

I'm wondering if you can help me, or point me to a web site with
helpful descriptions.

mike

  I think cygwin.din is the place.  That's where gendef gets it from.

I was wondering what happened to my sh.  It was there before I upgraded. 
Perhaps the problem was I had an old setup?

Igor's right, I was running sshd in the background when I upgraded.  I have 
rebooted since then, though.

I just ran setup again (the latest version) to get 3.0-11, and made sure 
everything was stopped first.  I've now got a proper sh.  I'll run my script 
for a while again to see if it still has problems.

Thanks,
Cary

  This error message is often caused when $SYSTEMROOT is not set (or not set
correctly) in your cygwin environment.  What does "set | grep SYST" show you
at the bash prompt?

  If that isn't it, let's see your http://cygwin.com/problems.html cygcheck
output.

I reported this upstream, and received this response: 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.bash.bugs/8315

Basically, ~/.inputrc settings are parsed only once, while stty settings are 
ignored in readline 4.x, reparsed for every command (thus overriding 
~/.inputrc) in readline 5.0, and user-settable in the upcoming readline 5.1 
whether stty settings are reparsed or ignored for every command.  Readline 5.1 
is still in alpha, and while I have tried building it for cygwin, I have yet to 
work out all the bugs.  So until then, if you want ~/.inputrc to change the 
default meaning of a character that is also assigned to a terminal function 
(check "stty -a" for those characters), you have to make stty and ~/.inputrc 
agree on what the key will do.

I'd hate to see the logic that would try to figure out which registry keys
need to be deleted considering that 3rd party apps using their own licensed
version of cygwin will use the Cygnus Solutions name.  I've been lucky
enough with such apps that they don't use C:\cygwin, so I can install cygwin
myself without conflicting with their cygwin DLL.

Re: Outbound telnet/ftp from cygwin not working

In addition to what Dave said, ensure that you have a symlink from
/etc/services to %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services and that there
is a line containing the telnet service in that file.  This link should
have been created upon installation for you, and the default windows
services file should have telnet listed, so normally this is not
something you ever have to worry about.

Fwd: Outbound telnet/ftp from cygwin not working

[Michael Rilling]

Wow,
After doing a lot more googleing, I've stumbled upon this fix.  Wonder
if you know about this issue?

In regedit go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
edit DataBasePath change %SystemRoot% to its real value (on mine its
C:\WINDOWS)  Don't know why but this fixed my issue.

Let me know if you've heard this before.

regards,
mike

Subject: Outbound telnet/ftp from cygwin not working
To: cygwin@cygwin.com


I've googled and can't find answers to my issue.  Several people have
mentioned the same issue, but no replies.  Hope you can help.

I've installed the latest cygwin base on my XP SP2 machine.
I've also installed inetutils along with the X stuff.

I'm trying to do a simple telnet from within cygwin.
I run the cygwin.bat file and type telnet (external-host) and always get
telnet: tcp/telnet: unknown service

Yet when I run the windows telnet client to the same/any host, it works fine.

I have similar issues with FTP.

I'm wondering if you can help me, or point me to a web site with
helpful descriptions.

regards,
mike

This happens when something edits the registry and changes that key
from  REG_EXPAND_SZ to REG_SZ.  %-variables are only expanded in keys of
type REG_EXPAND_SZ.  You should find that by default Windows uses
%SystemRoot% and REG_EXPAND_SZ so everything works fine.  It's only when
some brain-dead program or installer mucks about with that key and
changes it to a regular string that you have a problem.

And this will only matter to programs that call getservbyname(), which
these days are very far and few between.  telnet is one though.

.. or alternatively, your $SYSTEMROOT variable wasn't set at all, as
Dave said.  Hard-coding it will fix the problem, but you really should
find out why it's not set if that is the case, because it could lead to
future mysterious problems.

Past versions of the Cygwin DLL had minor bugs where it would not
propagate the SYSTEMROOT variable in certain circumstances, such as when
sshing into a machine.  But that should be fixed with any recent
version.

This has nothing to do with Cygwin settings -- it's an internal setting of
the X server.  My guess would be that either the clipboard thread isn't
starting properly, or you need to run xwinclip instead of using the
-clipboard parameter.  Looking at (and posting) /tmp/XWin.log would help.

The X clipboard settings are generally confusing -- they have at least 4
clipboards, only one of which corresponds to the system clipboard.  As far
as I know, the recent X servers are pretty good at doing the copy/paste
with the system clipboard, but there's always the possibility of
misconfiguration or some other factor that affects this.  Perhaps the
people on the Cygwin/X list will have more helpful comments.

Actually, I was under the impression that these lists didn't like or allow

It's still crashing, so I'll look at narrowing it down more now...

What is the point of create_thread_and_wait() in fhandler_netdrive::exists()?
Or anywhere at all? Why spawning a thread at all when we have to wait for the

nfs-server-2.3-2 Cygwin bug with patch

[Linus Hicks]

I tried sending a message to the email address given in the BUGS file in the nfs 
-server sources, but it bounced so I submit it here.


I was having a problem with doing an nfs mount on a Linux system and from what I 
found in the code, it's because I am exporting a shared drive on my Windows 
Cygwin machine. From reading the documentation, it is possible to do this, but I 
couldn't get it to work so I started looking at the code. What I did was first 
in Cygwin, mount the shared drive on an existing directory I created for it, 
then put that path in my exports file.


I found two problems. First was that when the directory wasn't found because of 
the other error, the code in libnfs/fhandle.c function fh_buildpath failed to 
set the path correctly when it goes shallower. This results in "Cannot stat 
" error messages.


The second problem was also in libnfs/fhandle.c function path_psi. I noticed in 
the fh_buildpath function that there was conditionally compiled code for Cygwin 
that had to do with changing how the pseudo inode is generated. There was no 
similar code in path_psi.


My patch follows, please be aware my email program is wrapping a couple of 
lines, and I'm hoping the tab characters don't get replaced with spaces:

It appears to be crashing here in the sleep.  It will go for just a few

rsh from Linx to cygwin

[David McMahon]

Hi,

I have a cygwin install with rshd running and
I'm trying to do an rsh from a Linux host:

$ rsh myhost date
Permission denied.

I have the same username/password and $HOME on
both the Linux machine and myhost.

myhost:/etc/hosts.equiv is just a single line +
as is ~/.rhosts.


myhost:/var/log/inetd.log reports this when rsh fails:

someone wants shell
accept, ctrl 3
+ Closing from 20
2160 execl /usr/sbin/in.rshd
2160 reaped, status 0x100


Anyone have any luck rsh'ing from Linux to cygwin?

Windows has the (nasty) habit of blocking EVERYTHING in the current
thread, including ctrl-c, when doing lengthy network tasks.  Spawning the
blocking task to its own thread allows cygwin to still react to signals in
the primary thread.  This threading code was added to fhandler_netdrive
due to complaints at the difficulty in stopping a runaway 'ls -F //' on
large domains when // was first made a directory; search the archives from
earlier this year for more details.

I guess it depends on your definition of "pretty small files" since the
g++ manpage in question is 127k gzipped (nearly 500k uncompressed).
If you have most everything installed we're still probably talking about
less than 100M of disk savings, but it's better than nothing--especially
on old machines like my laptop with a 1.5G disk. :)
