can someone help me with this compilation problem

[Nordine]

hello everyone,

When compilling makefile: "Gulp program"
using G95 under cygwin.

I got this error message:

/bin///ld: cannot find -lf95
make[1]: *** [gulp_] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/gulpsource/src/{os}'
mv: cannot stat `gulp': No such file or directory
make: *** [gulp] Error 1

Please gives me some assistance to resolv this problem.
thank you very much.

Re: The SYSTEM user cannot access the mount point /usr/lib

[Reini Urban]

Yes, the idea I got from this message is that
the SYSTEM user cannot access the mount point /usr/lib.
That means you need to give this user read-access to /usr/lib

/usr/lib usually has read and execute access for everybody.

All your mount points are user mounts.  No other user except you can
see them.  Remove all mounts with umount and recreate them as system
mounts with mount.  Hint:  The mount -m command might be helpful.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ruby-1.8.5-3

[Corinna Vinschen]

I have updated the version of ruby on cygwin.com to 1.8.5-3.

This is an update to the offical latest version of ruby 1.8.5,
patchlevel 12.  This version is built using the --enable-auto-image-base
linker flag, which should alleviate rebase problems.


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.

You've sent multiple messages here with the same content.  Please stop
doing that.  If you haven't received a reply then that means that no one
knows the answer.  Spamming the mailing list is only going to annoy
people.

FYI, there is no f95 library in the cygwin distribution.  This is
probably a Fortran library and you definitely need to understand what
the "Gulp program" (whatever that is) is trying to do.

The best solution is to flag your G95/Gulp problems directly to G95
guys: http://www.g95.org/

If you visit that page, you will find useful informations on how to send
a bug report and to who.

You should not forget to add the needed informations on your Cygwin and/or
G95 installation.

 Angelo.

I don't think that was the question.  If you note at the end of his
message, he gives the command invocation, which included that string in
--prunepaths.  That is, it's not the "permission denied" that's raising
issues, but rather that the exact string passed to --prunepaths is still
being searched.  (I believe he escaped the space characters but I could
be misremembering.)

Likewise for some of the other paths in the report.  They should already
be discarded via --prunepaths, but they're being searched anyhow,
producing various secondary errors.

Ambiguous error from ./configure

[Forrest Aldrich]

I've been working on building a patched version of SSH.  Using the
standard configure, it's generating this error:

configure:4187: error: C preprocessor "gcc -E" fails sanity check

Unfortunately, it seems I can't copy-and-paste from a Cygwin shell
window, but the code near 4187 shows:

if $ac_preproc_ok; then
:
else
{ { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: C preprocessor \"$CPP\" fails sanity check

etc.

What does it mean?  Has anyone seen this.

The version of GCC on here is 3.4.4, I'm running Windows XP
Professional (current patches).


Thanks...

No, but I'm on FAT32 on this machine.  Problem is described here:

According to that same page, DJGPP has a local hack^Wpatch to

This ones up with some frequency.  The answer is you can't prevent the
user from going, seeing, and modifying in 'ssh' anything that they can go,
see, and modify in Windows.  So if you lock down the permissions of the
unwanted paths/files in Windows, your 'ssh' users will be restricted as
you want.

Can't you just set things up so that the authorized_keys files disallows
running a shell?  That is possible with openssh.  There may also be other
ways to do this which don't involve authorized_keys.

That's not quite true.  Quoted arguments will be harder, but for
backslash-escaped spaces it's reasonably easy.  Something like

sed -e 's,,\e,g' -e 's,\([^\\]\) ,\1#,g' -e 's,\e,,g'

replaces all unescaped spaces with '#'s, while preserving escaped spaces
and backslashes.  The idea for quotes would be similar, except you first
have to replace all spaces within matching quotes by some character
unlikely to occur in the string (the above assumes that ESC will not be in
the string).  The sed info page provides an example of a similar approach.

The Cygwin version of updatedb comes from GNU findutils, as do the Linux
versions, IIRC.  So the behavior should be the same, unless the configure
options differed when the packages were built.  This is something best
answered by the findutils maintainer...

Well, it's a matter of convention.  Colons are legal in filenames on Unix,
as is pretty much any character except for NUL.  However, many tools treat
colons specially, so it's conventionally used as a separator.  If you have
to pick a character to use as a path separator, a space is as good as any.
You'd still need quoting or escape characters to represent the separator.

That's not quite true.


I should have said "no way without modifying updatedb ourselves".
Users stuck with the default updatedb can't set environment variables
or options in a file somewhere to work around the hardcoded space
character in the sed script.  (Trying to change IFS before calling
updatedb breaks too many things in the rest of updatedb.)

An option to updatedb to set the separator character, cf cut(1), would be nice.

[...]

So the behavior should be the same, unless the configure
options differed when the packages were built.  This is something best
answered by the findutils maintainer...


This file turns out to be purely packaging, used by distros to manage
automatic runs of updatedb with cron.  (There are actually some bugs
reported because the conf file is used "only" by the packaging, and
not by updatedb itself, contrary to some expectations.)  So this was a
red herring, my bad.

Well, it's a matter of convention.  Colons are legal in filenames on Unix,
as is pretty much any character except for NUL.  However, many tools treat
colons specially, so it's conventionally used as a separator.  If you have
to pick a character to use as a path separator, a space is as good as any.
You'd still need quoting or escape characters to represent the separator.


I'm aware of the restrictions, and I will bet long odds that spaces
show up in filenames far more often than colons (or any other
punctuation commonly used as a separator in pathname lists) are used.
I've not changed my opinion that updatedb is behind the times and is
needlessly complicating things for admins, but I also don't expect
that opinion to change anybody else's mind -- this bug has been
reported before, against other distros, and gets rejected because "you
shouldn't use spaces in filenames under Linux," how quaint.

I'll probably hack up the local copy of updatedb so that it works for
me on filenames containing the standard word separator for
English, oh noes!, and the upstream non-cygwin maintainers
can continue to use the Linux version.  This is something I've been
considering for a while anyhow for a totally unrelated project, so
it's not troublesome, just disappointing.

(without  and only lowercase) I get:

All other letters work on the debugger command line, but as soon as I 
press 't' (anywhere on the line), the debugger instantly fails with the 
above output.  So, it won't let me toggle trace or output variables that 
have a 't' in the name. 

I tried reinstalling and installing previous perl version (v5.8.6-4); no 
luck.


I haven't seen any mention of this as a common problem in the forums and 
mailing lists.  So, I would suspect there is something screwy with my 
installation or I'm missing something embarrassingly obvious.


I'm debugging my code in Linux for the meantime (working around 
references to win32 api).  I would greatly appreciate any assist!

This opinion by Linux users has to change if they want Linux to become a 
more mainstream os.  Everyday users are going to use spaces in filenames 
through the Linux desktop, just as it has become more common on the Windows 
desktop.

What does setup selection for DOS vs UNIX actually do?

[Kylo Ginsberg]

I have the impression that the DOS vs UNIX selection at setup time
merely sets the mount modes (binmode vs textmode) for the default
mount points.  And nothing else.  Is this correct?

Thus, there is no difference in behavior under the default mounts with
a DOS setup and an explicit textmode mount with a UNIX setup?  And
conversely, no difference in behavior under the default mounts with a
UNIX setup and an explicitly binmode mount with a DOS setup?

Thanks,
Kylo

Correct.

a DOS setup and an explicit textmode mount with a UNIX setup?  And

The difference here is merely the treatment of existing "text" files.
If you change the mount mode after installation, you may need to
manually d2u/u2d these files to make everything in Cygwin-land happy
with them again.

Fortunately, we don't need to debate the issue here since it's an
upstream problem so it's off-topic.

Try replacing spaces ' ' with dots '.' in the paths specified with --prunepaths.
In a regexp a dot matches any character.

Cernlib with Cygwin 1.5.24

[nautilus42 42]

Hi,
I've had some difficulty running the Cernlib package on Cygwin. In the
past I was able to make the package work by simply installing the
precompiled binaries at http://zyao.home.cern.ch/zyao/cernlib.html

However, a few days ago I did a fresh install of Cygwin and now I
cannot get the Cernlib package to work properly with those binaries.
Specifically I'm having problems running PAW. When I try to run PAW I
get the following:

~>paw

Calling 2003 version of paw-X11

rm: cannot remove `paw.metafile': No such file or directory
~>

The program does not seem to work at all it simply starts and quits. I
get no error messages.

I have tried to compile cygwin from source using the method described
in the above link as well as some of the posts of Angelo Graziosi in
this mailing list but I've had no luck. Is there a guide somewhere to
compiling Cernlib on a recent distribution of Cygwin or are there
precompiled binaries that work?

Thanks
--Chris
