Re: Cygwin xfig eps problem

[Franz Haeuslschmid]

Mike,

I'm also affected by this problem.  I know, that "Me too" posts
are evil, but I think, it may by useful to point out older
threads and messages that were discussing this sort of problem.
My article can be found in the mailing list archives discussing
XFree:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree/14757>

In this message, I was referring to a thread of November 2003,
that also discusses this issue: 

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/40818>

You may recognize the problems, but I'm afraid that there is no
solution yet proposed.

My "solution" at that time was to ignore the error messages and
to do without the preview.  I could use the presented bounding
box of the imported object to estimate size and position of the
imported EPS figure.

Franz.

Well, I don't necessarily think they are "evil", if for no other reason than it
might get some useful dialogue going. Yes I had seen those previous posts, as
well as a couple of others. I had, in fact, considered replying to your post
instead of starting a new thread since it seemed the closest to the problem I'm
seeing.

>From what I've read, there do seem to be a couple of minor variations on a 
>theme
here:

1. Your post does not mention being able to successfully (with preview) import
the first eps file that you try in a given xfig session. Are you able to? I was
initially not able to, until I changed my system temp path (BOTH windows and
cygwin) to a directory without spaces in the complete path (instead of windows'
ridiculous default location in "\Documents/ and/ Settings"

2. The other post you mention describes gs from the command line not liking a
/tmp path for -sOutputfile. I have tried from the command line, and my gs
outputs fine to /tmp (which is the manner in which xfig appears to refer to the
file). I have tried the scripts proposed by Igor in that thread, (with both
cygwin's gs and gswin32c) and they do not change the behavior I am seeing.

I think it does have something to do with file permissions - perhaps the gs
spawned by xfig has a user that our systems do not know anything about (but
which exists by default on *nix systems), and therefore the .pix file is somehow
invalid. Are you using NTFS for the partition containing your /tmp directory?
Perhaps also it only affects installations using NTFS since other windows
filesystems don't care about security so much, and perhaps that is why not
everyone sees the same behavior? (Just speculating here.) I use XP Home, so I do
not have a "Security" tab unless I use safe mode - maybe I'll try that now to
see if I can get any more information.

Agreed - this works, and it is of course only the preview that is missing.
(Although I can always get 1 eps file per xfig session with preview correctly
which is ok for a majority of situations.) Another "solution" is to use epstool
to convert eps => fig. It works surprisingly well (quality-wise), but it does
make the task of maintaining graphics for documents one step more complex.

Thanks again for your reply, and would be interested to here on whether your
problem is identical to mine, or slightly different. Cheers,
Mike

Use 'Setup.exe' to install Cygwin's gmp package. When you see the list
of packages, change the 'Category' to 'Full' to list all the available
packages alphabetically.

I wouldn't expect the next snapshot to fix this, unfortunately.  I'm still
puzzling over where the "open_shared" messages are coming from.  Each one
repeats 53 times, which is sort of an odd number.

That trend being "If you ask about installation, the answer tends to

question about sshd hang during rexec

[jhdiuad jhdiuad]

Hi, sshd appears to hang after rexec() when I try to
connect.
I am running sshd version OpenSSH_4.2p1 on windows
2000sp4.
If I run /usr/sbin/sshd -dddD -r it works OK.
I have tried mv'ing the /usr/sbin/sshd to a tempfile
and replacing it with another program and that program
does get executed. Also I wrote a small program to
test rexec() and it does appear to be working.  I am
using the default sshd_config and ssh_config files
created by ssh-host-config. I've tried installing
cygwin from scratch and it doesn't fix the problem.
 
Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] update: gsl-1.7-1 (GNU Scientific Library)

[Teun Burgers]

The cygwin gsl package (GNU Scientific Library) has been updated
to 1.7-1. This is a new upstream release.

For the announcement of gsl version 1.7 see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gsl/2005-09/msg0.html

The homepage for the GSL is http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/

NOTE: Starting from gsl-1.6-2,if you want to use the GSL, your path
should contain /usr/lib/lapack. This directory is added by
/etc/profile.d/lapack.sh. If you use the start-up scripts from the 
base-files packages this script is executed automatically.


Teun Burgers

UPDATE
==

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Cygwin's teTeX installation includes both tex and latex, as well as a 
number of other TeX-related programs.  (TeTeX is described as a 
"complete TeX distribution"; these days, LaTeX is considered a required 
part of such a thing.)


I have an existing project and make file, possibly from Unix, and it uses 
latex and latex2html.


I have installed tex but it does not seem to have a tex2html command.

LaTeX2HTML is actually a completely separate program from TeX/LaTeX/etc, 
though it (of course) processes LaTeX input files.  I don't believe that 
there is currently a Cygwin package for it, so I suspect you'll need to 
install it directly.


The official LaTeX2HTML website is here: http://www.latex2html.org/; it 
contains downloads, though it seems fairly sparse on installation info.


In addition, http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/suvrit/work/l2h.html 
contains some basic instructions for installing it on Cygwin.  A Google 
search on "latex2html cygwin" finds others as well.

Through GMANE, this appears as a newsgroup but it actually is a mailing 
list.  Actually, I believe this is the main purpose of GMANE.  FWIW, I 
took a quick look at GMANE and did see anything obvious that suggested how 
one might attach a file to a posting.  Admittedly, I only looked at the 
"FAQ" and the "Posting" links.  It's surprising that they wouldn't have 
such a feature but if you plan to continue using it, it's worthwhile to 
discuss the need with the folks there.  Alternatively, you can always 
send email to the list directly using your email client.  There it should
be no problem to attach any files you wish to send.

please test: coreutils-5.90-1

[Eric Blake]

I've uploaded a test version of coreutils, 5.90-1.  This is a new, unstable 
upstream release, with a number of changes from 5.3.0.  In particular, quite 
a few changes have been made upstream in regards to text vs. binary mode, so 
some feedback on this list would be appreciated before I promote the version 
to current (5.3.0-9 will remain current at least as long as cygwin-1.5.18-1 
stays current).  A full list from the NEWS file appears below.  I think 
5.90-1 will work with 1.5.18, but my testing to date has only been on cygwin 
snapshots.  As coreutils provides quite a bit of programs in daily use, I 
would recommend that you not upgrade to the test version UNLESS you are 
willing to cope with and report regressions.

* Major changes in release 5.90 (2005-09-29) [unstable]

** Bring back support for `head -NUM', `tail -NUM', etc. even when
  conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001.  The following changes apply only
  when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001; there is no effect when
  conforming to older POSIX versions.

  The following usages now behave just as when conforming to older POSIX:

date -I
expand -TAB1[,TAB2,...]
fold -WIDTH
head -NUM
join -j FIELD
join -j1 FIELD
join -j2 FIELD
join -o FIELD_NAME1 FIELD_NAME2...
nice -NUM
od -w
pr -S
split -NUM
tail -[NUM][bcl][f] [FILE]

  The following usages no longer work, due to the above changes:

date -I TIMESPEC  (use `date -ITIMESPEC' instead)
od -w WIDTH   (use `od -wWIDTH' instead)
pr -S STRING  (use `pr -SSTRING' instead)

  A few usages still have behavior that depends on which POSIX standard is
  being conformed to, and portable applications should beware these
  problematic usages.  These include:

Problematic   Standard-conforming replacement, depending on
   usagewhether you prefer the behavior of:
  POSIX 1003.2-1992POSIX 1003.1-2001
sort +4   sort -k 5sort ./+4
tail +4   tail -n +4   tail ./+4
tail - main.c tail main.c  tail -- - main.c
tail -c 4 tail -c 10 ./4   tail -c4
touch 12312359 f  touch -t 12312359 f  touch ./12312359 f
uniq +4   uniq -s 4uniq ./+4

  These changes are in response to decisions taken in the January 2005
  Austin Group standardization meeting.  For more details, please see
  "Utility Syntax Guidelines" in the Minutes of the January 2005
  Meeting .

** Binary input and output are now implemented more consistently.
  These changes affect only platforms like MS-DOS that distinguish
  between binary and text files.

  The following programs now always use text input/output:

expand unexpand

  The following programs now always use binary input/output to copy data:

cp install mv shred

  The following programs now always use binary input/output to copy
  data, except for stdin and stdout when it is a terminal.

head tac tail tee tr
(cat behaves similarly, unless one of the options -bensAE is used.)

  cat's --binary or -B option has been removed.  It existed only on
  MS-DOS-like platforms, and didn't work as documented there.

  md5sum and sha1sum now obey the -b or --binary option, even if
  standard input is a terminal, and they no longer report files to be
  binary if they actually read them in text mode.

** Changes for better conformance to POSIX

  cp, ln, mv, rm changes:

Leading white space is now significant in responses to yes-or-no questions.
For example, if "rm" asks "remove regular file `foo'?" and you respond
with " y" (i.e., space before "y"), it counts as "no".

  dd changes:

On a QUIT or PIPE signal, dd now exits without printing statistics.

On hosts lacking the INFO signal, dd no longer treats the USR1
signal as if it were INFO when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.

If the file F is non-seekable and contains fewer than N blocks,
then before copying "dd seek=N of=F" now extends F with zeroed
blocks until F contains N blocks.

  fold changes:

When POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, "fold file -3" is now equivalent to
"fold file ./-3", not the obviously-erroneous "fold file ./-w3".

  ls changes:

-p now marks only directories; it is equivalent to the new option
--indicator-style=slash.  Use --file-type or
--indicator-style=file-type to get -p's old behavior.

  nice changes:

Documentation and diagnostics now refer to "nicenesses" (commonly
in the range -20...19) rather than "nice values" (commonly 0...39).

  nohup changes:

nohup now ignores the umask when creating nohup.out.

nohup now closes stderr if it is a terminal and stdout is closed.

nohup now exits with status 127 (not 1) when given an invalid option.

  pathchk changes:

I don't believe latex2html is available in the tetex-latex package,
and I think the server hosting the cygwin mailing lists is down for
maintainance right now, but these links should get you started:
