Processing A Script Too Slow under Cygwin

bug found with c_rehash and workaround
c_rehash is a program needed for making openssl certificates and is part
of the openssl program:
an example of use is here:http://www.stunnel.org/examples/client_cert.html
c_rehash is a perl script
it contain the following lines
if(! -x $openssl) {
if(-x "$_/$openssl.exe") {
this check for openssl beeing executable and if it's not it produce a
warning and exit:
print STDERR "c_rehash: rehashing skipped ('openssl' program not
available)\n";
here's the bug:
by default openssl has the following permissions:
-rwx--+ 1 the_user_of_the_computer Users 354304 Mar 29 12:17
/usr/bin/openssl
and Administrator is in the following groups:
$groups
Nessuno root Administrators Users PasswordPropDeny
but c_rehash produce the following error:
c_rehash: rehashing skipped ('openssl' program not available)
the solution is to make c_rehash wordly executable...

I checked the workarounds and these refer to random fork errors which looked promising, although the errors aren't really random.

I wish to continue using Cygwin. Cygwin is an emulation layer. By its very nature, it is inherently slower than running things natively, because it is an emulation layer. A 6x slowdown is probably extreme, but without knowing why you are getting such a slowdown, we have to assume that it is because your script is doing some fork-heavy manipulation. > Therefore, is there a better way to make the processing faster without the > need of optimizing my script? Without knowing what your script does, and without profiling it to know where the hotspots are, there is nothing we can do. You own your script; you should profile it. One thing that will improve any script's speed is using shell builtins instead of forking external processes. If you are willing to use non-portable bash-isms, there is much speed to be gained this way. And if you really want our help, then post code samples so that we can offer advice on constructs that can be replaced by shell builtins. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

Problem of compiling and linking the C/C++ program using WIN32API with GCC
Hi, I am a new CYGWIN user. I actually tried to compile and link a C/C++ program using the 'w32api', more exactly, the '/lib/w32api/libws2_32.a' library, with the following command: $gcc -o myprogram -lws2_32-c myprogram.c But, I always got the error messages from the 'ld' linker dynamic, such as: - "Undefined reference to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" - "Undefined reference to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" - "Undefined reference to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" - "Undefined reference to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" - "Undefined reference to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" - etc... "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status" This means that the linker dynamic 'ld' is unable to find and open the corresponding 'libws2_32.a' library file. I've also tried several other solutions, such as: $ gcc -o myprogram -L /usr/lib -lws2_32 -c myprogram.c or $ gcc -o myprogram-l /usr/lib/w32api/libws2_32.a -c myprogram.c With these solutions, I've got the error message from 'ld' like this: "Cannot find the -l/usr/lib/w32api/libws2_32.a" "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status" Someone can help me to resolve this problem Thanks, -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Nope, it means it opens it, reads any functions out of it that are already required by earlier inputs, closes it, then opens your program file and fails to link. Ordering of linker inputs is significant, dependencies must come after the things that depend on them and generally this means that libs should always come last.

Thank You for reply.
I use the same version and as Client telnet from command line. But the error
is the same.

file permissions on vista
Hi, I have the latest version of cygwin installed CYGWIN_NT-6.0 cecile 1.5.24(0.156/4/2) 2007-01-31 10:57 i686 Cygwin When create a file or a folder in vista (using the explorer or a windows application), the file or folder is created without any right (like when a chmod 000 is applied). This is a problem when you do a rsync. I can apply a chmod -R u+rwx * on the root folder, but this is not really clean. Is it a known but of cygwin on vista, or is it a consequence of the new security model introduced in vista (that I am not sure I understand). In the later case, is there something to configure in order to solve this issue? In case there is a patch for this problem, I can help testing it.

While cygwin may be no speed demon next to native win32 apps, when I last did timing tests between SFU and Cygwin, Cygwin was faster by a few noses (which meant Cygwin was pretty good at what it does given the MS's own unix emulation layer was slower). Must be something in your workload that's putting the brakes on Cygwin. Can you post an example of what you are talking about? In my case, I was timing file-system-wide "find" commands that were looking for files to cleanup (like old core files, tmp files...etc). What are you doing in your script?

well, you could MOUNT the image and COPY the files over, but thats a
really tricky thing to do in cygwin (none of my attempts have worked)
You'd be mounting the image on, say, /mnt/usbImage/, as a Loopback mount.
or change its extention to .iso and open it with 7zip File Manager

In addition to needing to mount the drive letter, doing that means that every system that you use has to have the same drive letter free. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: dd image onto a usb key
morgan gangwere wrote: > well, you could MOUNT the image and COPY the files over, but thats a > really tricky thing to do in cygwin (none of my attempts have worked) It's "really tricky" because it's impossible. The mount command in Cygwin simply manipulates a table of path translation entries, e.g. "c:/cygwin/bin = /bin". It is not a mount command like you'd find in Linux, it cannot do a loopback mount or anything like that. Cygwin is not a kernel, it does not implement any filesystem drivers. If you want to mount an ISO image, you need to use a native Windows tool, like Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%, and I'm sure countless others. Once the image is mounted as a drive letter you can of course add Cygwin mount entries to locate it where you want it in the POSIX filespace, but again that's just doing a glorified search/replace on the pathname, which is all the Cygwin mount table amounts to.

SWIG: Python 2.5
SWIG maintainer, Support for Python 2.5 was added to SWIG in >= 1.3.30, but the distro has curr: 1.3.29-2. As Python 2.5 is now in the distro, a SWIG update is imperative to those of us building Python extensions.

Use gcc -E to look at the preprocessed source, and see what namespace collision was caused somewhere in lines 1-38 of dbus-binding-tool-glib.c that caused the syntax error? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

There's not enough information here to really be able say much, but if I had to guess I'd say that something included prior to that header has polluted the macro namespace. This is easy enough to check by just looking at the preprocessed source.
