The current cygwin version of make is 3.81.  We no longer support 3.80.

Re: Newly-installed bash 3.2.9-10 (cygwin 1.5.24-1) exits when I try to execute a program

Good morning,

This is not related to the new bash version but related to new cygwin
1.5.24-1.

As soon I installed this new version alone without bash or any other cygwin
package, my Windows X64 stopped to work for any cygwin command even if I run
gcc from cmd.exe. Reverting to 1.5.23 let my system work again.

Reverting to cygwin 1.5.23 worked.

Is someone working to fix this, or is this an opportunity for me to submit a

xp64 fails with latest download

[bob sandefur]

Hi

I did I did my Monday morning update to my Dell running XP 64. When I click
on the Cygwin icon now, the screen flashes and it quits.

I haven't tried this on the 32-bit version.

Questions:
Anyone else experiencing this same issue?
How do I rollback to the prior release?  (I have not searched the mail list
for this yet/)

Where did you find 1.3?  That's years out-of-date and isn't supported.

trouble with bash / if in recent release / update ?

[Tim Hanson]

hi, a colleague and i recently tried upgrading an existing cygwin and found that
basic bash script features broke. he later went back to a working copy, tested
and discovered that the features worked, upgraded again and confirmed that they
were broken again. i've searched for hints that others have had this problem and
haven't found any. the symptoms are pretty easy to test.

in an interactive bash shell one can conform that these two if statements work:

  if [[ -z "17" ]]; then  echo "ja"; else   echo "ne"; fi
  ne

  if [[ -z "" ]]; then  echo "ja"; else   echo "ne"; fi
  ja

if one then builds a bash script consisting only of #!/usr/bin/bash
and this if statement (broken into separate lines) it fails along these lines:

$ test.bash
: command not test.bash: line 9:
/usr/local/bin/test.bash: line 10: syntax error in conditional 
expression
'usr/local/bin/test.bash: line 10: syntax error near `]]
'usr/local/bin/test.bash: line 10: `if [[ -z "$1" ]]

does this ring a bell for anyone?

i'd be grateful for pointers. (or advice on how to provide more clues.)

cheers,

Tim

Your line-endings are CRNLs.  The best thing to do is to run d2u on the
scripts in question.  Read any recent Cygwin bash announcements for other
options to resolve this situation and further details.

/etc/bash_completion & svn/svk completion

The command "svn update DIR" results in "svn update DIR " instead

bug with cat and backticks? (was: bug with built-in ...)

[Norton Allen]

According to Norton Allen on 1/28/2007 1:08 PM:

I'm wondering if the problem I am seeing is from the same source. I find
that 'apachectl stop' no longer works since a recent cygwin update. I
can see that the PIDFILE is being written with a \r\n line ending.
'apachectl stop' then reads the file with

   PID=`cat $PIDFILE`


cat is not a bash builtin, so no this is not the same problem.  Are you
running a script with CRLF line endings on a binary mount?  If so, read
the announcment, and use d2u on your script.
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-01/msg00015.html




No, this is a text mount:

Cygwin> mount
[cut]
d:\Data on /Data type user (textmode)
[cut]
Cygwin> cd /Data
Cygwin> echo hello >test.txt
Cygwin> xxd test.txt
000: 6865 6c6c 6f0d 0ahello..
Cygwin> foo=`cat test.txt`
Cygwin> echo "'$foo'"
'hello
Cygwin>

Note the trailing quote is missing because of in intervening CR. It 
seems that the discussion of confusion about whether a program should be 
in text mode or binary mode when pipes are involved would still be 
relevant here.

This would be an upstream bug; I'm cc'ing the upstream maintainer to see
if we can get a response.

You can also try debugging it yourself.  At the command line, turn on the
options 'set -xv', then when you hit TAB, you will see what bash is trying
to do during the tab completion.  I don't personally use svn, so I'm not
the best candidate to help you fix the _svn() helper function used when
tab-completing svn, but compgen is loaded with options to try to help
decipher when to use directories with or without a trailing slash.

That's the answer.  You are creating PIDFILE with \r\n line endings, but
cat always reads in binary mode.

Try PID=`cat $PIDFILE | d2u` instead.  Or try using the igncr shell option.

Re: Newly-installed bash 3.2.9-10 (cygwin 1.5.24-1) exits when I try to execute a program

[jm . challier]

Good morning.

I'm quite happy to find this thread - I thought I was the one who messed things
up... ;^)

I experience exactly the same problem : XP64, recently updated cygwin -> bash
exits with code 128 when trying to execute anything (except builtins, of
course). Same thing for gcc (tried from emacs too).

To answer a question that was asked in the "xp64 fails with latest download"
thread (which deals with the same problem) : I have only one cygwin1.dll file on
the system.

> Reverting to cygwin 1.5.23 worked.
> Is someone working to fix this, or is this an opportunity for me to submit a

If you have a patch working, pease go ahead. Reverting to 1.5.23 is not a patch,
but a workaround :-) Meanwhile, I'll stick with my good'ol'32-bit laptop...

By the way, in case it's a version consistency problem, what mirror are you
using ? I'm using ftp://mirror.cict.fr/ - nearest from home.

I have no working patch, I was going to use this problem as an opportunity for 
my first attempt to build and debug the cygwin DLL (while maybe even charging a 
client for it) but it looked to me as if it may already be being addressed. 
Looking again, I see that this might not be that case, so I'll see what I can do 
(no promises, as I'm a newbie at cygwin development).

You aren't alone, Tim.

I have same problem. I updated last night. My sh (bourne shell) scripts didn't 
work this morning. I diff the bash.exe and sh.exe binaries and they are the 
same. I tried updating from a differnt mirror, but that didn't fix the problem.

Workaround: I'm using zsh instead of sh .

Back to the bugs ... `echo' command seems to work backwards! 
In a script...

  echo foo bar

produces output ...

  bar foo

A blank line in the script file produces err msg 

: command not found

I can't figure out a way to make the new version of sh.exe work. Imho, it's 
broken.

It's been moved to  with the
following comment from Sam Steingold:


This patch does not seem right.
on linux O_BINARY==0 and I see no reason to default line
termination to :DOS there.
I am rejecting it pending your convincing me that I am
wrong here.


To be honest, it didn't seem quite right to me either, but I
figured that was down to me not knowing the ins and outs of
how Cygwin handles text modes.

The original logic was:


#if defined(WIN32) || (defined(UNIX) && (O_BINARY != 0))
 pushSTACK(S(Kdos));   /* :line-terminator */
#else
 pushSTACK(S(Kunix));  /* :line-terminator */


which translates to "if O_BINARY is something other than 0,
then this unix must differentiate between text and binary
streams, so assume that text streams use dos EOLs".  That
makes sense, except that O_BINARY is nonzero even on (for
instance) my Cygwin installation, where I selected unix EOLs
as the default with setup.exe.

The patch changes the condition to:


#if defined(WIN32) || (defined(UNIX) && (O_BINARY == 0))


which, as Sam pointed out, would make most unixes (on which
O_BINARY is 0) use dos EOLs.


I tought the UNIX O_BINARY logic was only for CYGWIN and wondered what 
other UNIX that could be.

Ok, so we'll have to use
#if defined(WIN32) || \
  (defined(UNIX) && (O_BINARY != 0) && !defined(__CYGWIN__))

or make the call slower by doing a dynamic textmount check.
But I really don't want to do that.


This issue was solved here
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=301355&aid=1633552&group_id=1355
by adding a documentation chapter to clisp's next version:

See also:
  http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clhs-newline.html
