Re: Send command and parameters into cygwin.bat

[mocs]

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

I thhink its because that xmds doesnt get the parameter or the input file
sent from the command prompt in "dos-mode" in to the bas shell in cygwin. If
I edit my .bat-file and write "xmds -parameter inputfile" then it works but
I need to be able to change the inputfile without editing my .bat-file, and
yes it doesnt work without " ".

Best regards!

If you are asking how to pass parameters from a batch file infocation to
an application called within that batch file, you're better off asking in
a Windows or batch programming forum.

Cannot uninstall cygwin-doc ?!?

[bse2000]

Hi,

Just trying to update my cygwin-doc from 1.4-3 to 1.4-4.
During the uninstall procedure setup.exe hangs at the point 

  "Running preremove script ..."
  cygwin-doc

Checking with cygcheck gives an OK, so the installation of 1.4-3 should be fine.

Any idea?

Thanks

Re: cygwin installation batch file?

[Mike Verstegen]

First, a few apologies...
- I just joined this mailing list, so this reply is cobbled 
together using the original message from the archives.
- Though I've used cygwin for several years as an administrative 
user, I'm brand new to using cygwin in any complex ways
- I'm not at all skilled at Windows batch files (this is my first one...)

With that said, I have a similar need to what (the other) Mike needed
to do -- namely the ability to install cygwin in a "batch" mode, preferably
from
an autostart CD. My goal is to have ssh running at the completion.

In particular, the problem I tried to address was how to install something
other than the set of packages that setup.exe chooses by default.

After searching the archives, I found two suggested approaches:

- Igor suggested that one could have one dummy package in the "Base" 
category and make it depend on everything you want. 
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-05/msg00244.html

- Fergus' approach was to create a "template" installed.db listing 
only those packages you want, with the version numbers of each set to zero. 
For example
rxvt rxvt-0.tar.bz2 0
tar tar-0.tar.bz2 0
Setup.exe will find this file and update each listed package to the 
current (non-zero) version.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cygwin&m=110538795118459&w=2

Since making the dummy package in setup.ini would require some magic 
to edit setup.ini (downloaded fresh with each execution of setup.exe??) 
on the fly that I couldn't quite figure out how to do, I chose the latter 
approach.

With the goal of getting sshd completely up and running, I used the 
procedure described at http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html 
and attempted to turn it in to a batch file.

One tool that I could not find in cygwin was a way to set the Windows 
System Environment variables. For ssh it looks like both PATH and CYGWIN 
need to be updated/created. To get this done, I used setenv.exe 
from http://barnyard.syr.edu/~vefatica/ which looks quite old, is only 
available as an executable (ouch!), but solved the immediate problem. 
Suggestions welcome on how to do this better.

The following batch file is intended (haven't actually done the CD part yet)
to be put on a CD containing the following files:
- cygwin_inst.bat -- the following file
- setup.exe -- the cygwin set up program
- setenv.exe -- the program described previously to set environment
variables
- to_be_installed.db -- the list of packages desired, with the versions set
to zero


=== begin batch file =
rem -- Batch install file for cygwin
rem -- MDV 9/16/06
rem
rem -- To set system environment variables (PATH, CYGWIN), this script
depends on 
rem -- setenv.exe from http://barnyard.syr.edu/%7Evefatica
rem -- which is used instead of Microsoft setx (which is in a Windows
resource pack)
rem -- because of possible MS licensing restrictions on copying to an
install CD.
rem -- There may be a better way to do this!

rem -- CYG_MIRROR is the URL of a public or private server from where cygwin
can be downloaded.
rem -- This particular site works, but necessarily the best one... to do...
rem -- the http:// is important

set CYG_MIRROR="http://www.signal42.com";

mkdir c:\cygwin

rem -- Assume that setup.exe and setenv.exe are in the working directory on
the CD when started
rem -- Copy executables from CD to disk

copy setup.exe c:\cygwin
copy setenv.exe c:\cygwin

rem -- Now put a hand-crafted installed.db in cygwin's /etc/setup
rem -- This installed.db has the list of packages desired with the revision
level set to zero
rem --   as suggested by Fergus in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cygwin&m=110538795118459&w=2
rem -- For example
rem --   openssh openssh-0.tar.bz2 0


if exist c:\cygwin\etc\setup\installed.db (
echo "cygwin already installed"
goto end
) else (
mkdir c:\cygwin\etc
mkdir c:\cygwin\etc\setup
copy to_be_installed.db c:\cygwin\etc\setup\installed.db
)

rem -- Instead of "goto end", above, do something more appropriate
rem -- Future work: compare the list of packages in our target
to_be_installed.db to the list of 
rem --   packages already in /etc/setup/installed.db to make sure that all
the packages that we want
rem --   are included. If not, merge them in with the rev level set to zero.

rem --   #UNTESTED bash code 
rem --   CURRENT_INSTALLED=/etc/setup/installed.db
rem --   TO_BE_INSTALLED=to_be_installed.db
rem --   cat $TO_BE_INSTALLED | while read

rem --   if grep $1 $CURRENT_INSTALLED
rem --   then
rem --  echo "Package " $1 " already included"
rem --   else
rem --   echo $0 >> $CURRENT_INSTALLED
rem --   echo "Added: " $0
rem --fi
rem --DOES INSTALLED.DB NEED TO BE SORTED?

Problems accessing c: root folder - permissions?

[abstractryan]

Hi All:

I've searched for solutions to this problem and can remember running
into it in the past. For some reason, something happened to my root
dir on C: and im not sure how it happened exacty. When i go to
/cygdrive/c/ and attempt an 'ls' ( or similar ) here's what I get

$ ls
ls: reading directory .: No such file or directory

however I can still access the directories in that directory if i
specifically go into each directory. I'm thinking this is a permission
problem on c: and i've changed it a few times with no success.

Any ideas?
thanks
Ryan

-fno-inline -O1 breaks ntohs()

[Stefan Traby]

Hi!

Testcase:
--
#include 

int main()
{
  volatile short s = 33, t;

  t = ntohs(s);
  return 0;
}
--

> i686-pc-cygwin-gcc -fno-inline  -o test test.c
> i686-pc-cygwin-gcc -O1 -fno-inline  -o test test.c
/tmp/ccswmuY9.o:test.c:(.text+0x27): undefined reference to `___ntohs'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>

This is my crosscompiler (gcc-4.1.1) but it breaks with gcc-3.4.4
(included in cygwin) exactly the same way (it compiles without -O1
and breaks otherwise).

If -fno-inline is not supported under cygwin sorry for wasting your time.

First, check if you have permission to write there.  Second, make sure
'ncftpbatch' can handle paths with spaces in them.  Third, if the above
two don't point out the problem, read and follow the problem reporting

rsync 2.6.6.1 changed ACL behaviour?

[Mattias]

Using rsync to update my web site on a Windows 2003 Server using the
following command

rsync --archive --stats /cygdrive/c/data/publish/ -e ssh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cygdrive/c/Inetpub/ssc2

Worked fine for a year.

Stopped working recently. rsync doesn't set the ACL correctly. rsync
sets the rights of the Users user to nothing at all, which makes the
web site not work at all. (I have switched my laptop since it last
worked and reinstalled cygwin.)

After running rsync, I have to go to the server, opening the security
dialog for the directory, pressing advanced, selecting

"Replace permission entries on all child objects with enties shown
here that apply child objects"

These are the default permissions, so why doesn't rsync use them.
Which permissions do rsync use?

P.s. Is there a simple way in cygwin setup.exe to just revert to an
older version of a single package, in my case rsync 2.6.3?
