octave configure on cygwin snapshot

2007-08-29 Thread Marco Atzeri

Hi,
running octave 2.9.13 configure on latest cygwin
snapshot 
1.7.0s(0.177/4/2) 20070813 12:16:31

I found that the attached test to verify the format
of gettimeof is failing

gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2   conftest.c -ldl -lwsock32
-lz -lm  -lwsock32
conftest.c: In function `main':
conftest.c:216: error: storage size of 'dummy' isn't
known

while the test pass for cygwin 1.5.14-2.

As both structs timeval and timezone are defined on
/usr/include/sys/time.h
and the two files are equal on the struct definition
can someone help me in understanding the problem ?

Is it related to the change of definition for
gettimeofday ?

diff cygwin-1.5.24/usr/include/sys/time.h
20070813/usr/include/sys/time.h 
73c73
< int _EXFUN(gettimeofday, (struct timeval *__p,
struct timezone *__z));
---
> int _EXFUN(gettimeofday, (struct timeval *__p, void
*__tz));

Regards
Marco

Problem with "quilt add" + patch

2007-08-29 Thread Peter Rosin

Hi!

I'm having problems with "quilt add".

Basically it tries to first make a hard link from e.g. "foo" to
".pc/somepatch/foo", then copy ".pc/somepatch/foo" to
".pc/somepatch/sometempfile" using file descriptors and finally it
tries to rename ".pc/somepatch/sometempfile" back to ".pc/somepatch/foo"
effectivly just making a copy of the original file.

This is all within the support program /usr/lib/quilt/backup-files.exe
if you feed it the -L option, which "quilt add" does.

The problem is that the final rename fails, and the root cause is that
an fd is held open to the target file ".pc/somepatch/foo".

Here is a patch to fix it, but I guess the ultimate fix is to
make rename(2) more Linux-like...

Without the included patch, "quilt add" exits with an error but
leaves the backup hardlinked with the source resulting in empty
diffs when you "quilt diff", but you are left on your own trying
to fix up the damage caused by the failed command.

Cheers,
Peter

  Ah.  Do you suppose the OP would do better trying to run the whole thing in a
mingw shell?  That might be the right combination of posixy-goodness with

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: rsync 2.6.9-1

2007-08-29 Thread Lapo Luchini

Version 2.6.9-1 of rsync has been uploaded.

rsync is a file transfer program. rsync uses the 'rsync algorithm' which
provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does
this by sending just the differences in the files across the link,
without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends
of the link beforehand.

Please notice that unpatched 2.6.9 rsync has a security bug that might
(or might not) affect it, depending on your use case.
http://secunia.com/advisories/26493/
A new rsync-2.6.9-2 package containing a patch to this problem will be
available on the mirrors very shortly.

If you're not sure what version do you have you can
use the following command to both check version number
and integrity of the install:
% cygcheck -c rsync


If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .

Why are you linking against -lwsock32?  That generally doesn't work (you
shouldn't mix Windows sockets and cygwin sockets, and cygwin sockets are
more likely to be portable to applications coded for Linux).  This may be
a bug in the upstream configure.

Why not show us the snippet of conftest.c that is triggering the error
message?

It could be.  In which case, are you sure it is an error, or is it merely
configure's way of determining the signature by first trying something
that fails to compile when given the correct POSIX signature but succeeds
when given the older 1.5.24 definition?  After all, sometimes compilation
failures during configure are features, not bugs, provided that the right
definitions are then generated for your program.

Not necessarily a bug.  Using drive letter notation in cygwin is asking
for problems, you should instead use /cygdrive/t.  The fact that it works
for some applications is happenstance, not design.

  Well, any application that just passes it's argv[] parameters directly to
(f)open will work just fine.  Any app that tries to parse and perform string
manipulation on them, OTOH, is going to go wrong... such as by interpreting it
as a relative path to $CWD, as in this example.

  I'd report it upstream.

Oh - there was an attachment.  Why must people insist on sending plain

  You need to take a look in the windows event log and see if you can find a
more detailed error message there.

  Yeh, can't see anything immediately obviously wrong yet.  Maybe you could
rerun the config, but this time answer 'yes' when it asks if it should
overwrite the .conf file - save a copy of your current one, by all means, but
it's a worthwhile experiment to try and narrow down the source of the trouble.

1.5.24: sin() bug

2007-08-29 Thread Dmitry Karasik

Hello,

I'd like to submit a bug in cygwin implementation of sin().
The following simple program demonstrates this:


#include 
#include 
int main( int argc, char ** argv)
{
double g = (double) 3.1415926535897900074;
printf("sin(%.10g)=%.10g\n", g, sin(g));
}

output is :

sin(3.141592654)=3.231089149e-15

whereas all other sin() implementation I could find ( freebsd, linux, msvc)
report this:

sin(3.141592654)=3.231085104e-015

the difference is in 7th digit, and is significant for double precision.

Please find attached cygcheck.out .

Sincerely,

Dmitry Karasik

Right assumption. This test is performed by configure
to verify is gettimeofday have one or 2 arguments.
As in the snapshot the program fail to compile,
configure wrongly assume that gettimeofday have only
one argument.
On 1.5.24 the program compile fine an gettimeofday 
is reported as function with two arguments.

I'm not sure of any platforms where it has only one parameter; more often,
the portability problem is whether the parameter is void* (as required by 
POSIX) or something else (as was the case in cygwin 1.5.24).

OK, I see the problem now.  Run the preprocessor on conftest.c:

$ gcc -E conftest.c |grep -n -C2 timezone
440-};
441-
442:struct timezone {
443-  int tz_minuteswest;
444-  int tz_dsttime;
--
817-__tzinfo_type *__attribute__((__cdecl__)) __gettzinfo (void);
818-# 118 "/usr/include/time.h" 3 4
819:extern __attribute__((dllimport)) long _timezone;
820-extern __attribute__((dllimport)) int _daylight;
821-extern __attribute__((dllimport)) char *_tzname[2];
--
1168-# 73 "/usr/include/sys/time.h" 3 4
1169-int __attribute__((__cdecl__)) gettimeofday (struct timeval *__p, void 
*__tz);
1170:int __attribute__((__cdecl__)) settimeofday (const struct timeval *, const 
struct _timezone *);
1171-int __attribute__((__cdecl__)) utimes (const char *__path, const struct 
timeval *__tvp);
1172-int __attribute__((__cdecl__)) getitimer (int __which, struct itimerval 
*__value);
--
1178-{
1179-struct timeval time;
1180:  struct _timezone dummy;
1181-  gettimeofday (&time, &dummy);
1182-  ;

Oops - this line in cygwin/time.h is causing the problem:

#define timezone _timezone

As your testcase shows, the inclusion of  manages to define struct 
timezone, but then subsequent includes trigger the macro that changes the 
spelling to _timezone, and your declarations all end up referring to the 
incomplete type struct _timezone, hence the compiler error.  So something in 
cygwin's headers needs to change in order to make sure struct timezone is not 
hidden by the macro in .

A workaround in the meantime might be configuring with
CFLAGS=-Dtimezone=_timezone.

I only noticed now, during installation, that the old splint package
used to create a symbolic link: lint -> splint in a postinstall script.

At first, I thought the solution might be as simple as having  
declare struct _timezone which is identical in layout to 's struct 
timezone.  But then I realized there is another clash to also fix - if the user 
does:
#include 
#include 

then how do they refer to struct timeb.timezone?  Maybe the correct fix is a 
cygwin-specific newlib patch to both sys/timeb.h and sys/time.h that moves the 
#include  earlier in the file, so that timezone is redefined to 
_timezone before any other declaration that tries to use the name timezone.

Request for Cairo/Pango Binary Update

2007-08-29 Thread larryjadams

Jari,

Any chance of getting Cairo/Pango upto date in Cygwin?  I would really like to 
see them built and operational.  If you can not do it, is there a good place 
that can provide direction as to who owns updates to that package so that I 
might attempt to inspire that person.

Thanks,

I did that, but it doesn't help me:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( syslogd ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information
or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be

I renamed syslog.conf and re-ran syslogd-config to re-generate it, but with
the same effect, so I don't think I'm any further along.

  It would be worth going back through the archives; IIRC, this was a recent
change made by CV in response to a PR on the list.  Any un-cautious solution
would probably just regress back the original bug...

This appears to be due to an approximation in __kernel_sin in which if
|x| < 2**-27 the approximation sin(x) ~ x is used.

.

This code seems to be completely untouched since the original import
into CVS in 2000, so I'm guessing it's a very old implementation.  I'm
not sure how we'd go about fixing this other than to look for a more
sophisticated implementation and contribute it to newlib.

In any case this is more of a newlib issue than a Cygwin issue as we are
just a consumer of this code, so followups should go to the newlib list.

  Windoze doesn't understand about shebangs (the #! line at the start of the
script), and bases all its decisions on the filename extension.  So, if you
name your scripts according to the pattern '*.sh', and make sure to chmod a+x
them, you can double-click in explorer.

  The first time you do that, windows will complain it doesn't know what to do
with a sh file, and offer you the choice of looking up on the web or selecting
from a list which program you want to open .sh files with; choose the
select-from-a-list option, when the list appears click the browse button, find
your way to cygwin\bin\bash.exe and select that.  Make sure "Always use this
program" is ticked, enter a nice descriptive name such as "Bash script" in the
description box, OK it and away you go!

  Since when was pi less than 2^-27?

> In any case this is more of a newlib issue than a Cygwin issue as we are
> just a consumer of this code, so followups should go to the newlib list.

  I'd just like to point out that I got the exact same result as cygwin
supplies on a recent linux box:

  On cygwin, I get:

/tmp $ ./sin.exe
sin(3.141592654)=3.231089149e-15

... whereas on linux (x86_64), I get ...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] gxlinux-ent]$ ./sin 
sin(3.141592654)=3.231089149e-15

... and with mingw:

$ ./sin.exe 
sin(3.141592654)=3.231085104e-015

  I think it may be an artefact of FP precision and/or rounding mode, but I'd
need to do more experiments to make sure.  OTOH it could be an artifact of the
printf %g specfier.  Like I said, more experimentation is needed!

This is a kernel sin, a function over the limited range [-pi/4, pi/4],
where the general case sin is reduced to kernel sin by the remainder of
modulus pi/2.

A problem with the testcase is the .10.  It helps to expand that so that
you see the entire value.  Or use %a.  newlib returns 3CED1A62633145C0
whereas both MSVCRT and x86 linux seem to return 3CED1A60.  It
sort of looks like a truncation problem but since glibc agrees with
msvcrt (shock!) I tend to think the latter is right.  The actual
mantissas are:

newlib 1.110100011010011000100110001100110001010001011100
other  1.1101000110100110

And note that the testcase is not exactly pi, it's pi minus a very small
number:

// M_PI3.14159265358979323846
double g = 3.1415926535897900074;

Using Windows XP SP2 firewall API

Hi,

i am trying to make a program to manage Windows XP SP2 firewall API, using 
cygwin gcc with -mno-cygwin option.


To use that api is necessary to use netfw.h (not included in cygwin), i 
tried to just copy it from the Windows XP SP2 Platform SDK 
(http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/XPSP2FULLInstall.htm) 
but cygwin gcc cannot compile it.


Someone could help me to use that api under cygwin?

Thanks for your time

Sorry to reply to self, but if there is an update to the quilt package,

But, hey, that's needed even if the fix isn't taken...

That won't run the script in the same environment that it would get 
when run from a Cygwin login shell, though, will it?  I would think 
the program might have to be a .bat file that contains something 
like this (untested):

   C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c %1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: scsh-0.6.7-2

2007-08-29 Thread Reini Urban


scsh - the "scheme shell" - has been added to the cygwin distribution.

scsh is the open-source Unix shell embedded within Scheme 48, running on 
all major Unix platforms. See http://www.scsh.net/


scsh is a variant of Scheme 48 (an R5RS compliant new-tech Scheme 
system). scsh is designed for writing real-life standalone Unix programs 
and shell scripts. scsh spans a wide range of application, from script 
applications usually handled with perl or sh, to more standard systems 
applications usually written in C.


Notes:
* Yes, there's no readline interface. Complain elsewhere.
* The socket server bug recently reported on the scsh list is fixed,
  only closing a socket doesn't work yet.
* Both maintainers, here and upstream, are happy to get an official
  cygwin release, because 90% of the reported errors concern bogus
  cygwin packages around.
  Probably some of mine from ten years ago...


If you have questions or comments, please send them to
the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .
I'll answer only there and I don't answer private mails.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: rsync 2.6.9-2 (security fix)

2007-08-29 Thread Lapo Luchini

Version 2.6.9-2 of rsync has been uploaded.

rsync is a file transfer program. rsync uses the 'rsync algorithm' which
provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does
this by sending just the differences in the files across the link,
without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends
of the link beforehand.

Please notice that 2.6.9-1 rsync has a security bug that might
(or might not) affect you, depending on your use case.
http://secunia.com/advisories/26493/
This rsync-2.6.9-2 package containing a patch to this problem.

If you're not sure what version do you have you can
use the following command to both check version number
and integrity of the install:
% cygcheck -c rsync


If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .

mkgroup (366): [2123] The API return buffer is too small.

2007-08-29 Thread Brian Egge

When running mkgroup after installing cygwin I receive the following
error:

$ mkgroup  -l -d > /etc/group
mkgroup (366): [2123] The API return buffer is too small.

I suspect this is due to the large number of groups our organization
has.

Jari is not the cairo/pango maintainer; it is Yaakov.  But since both of

you should have started a new thread, rather than replying to an existing

What part of no-cygwin did you not get?  You are telling the compiler to
avoid cygwin, so the cygwin list will not be able to help you; try the
mingw list instead.

Thank you for providing this package.

1. This package is classified in 'setup' as a 'Misc' package.  Should
  this package be classified as a 'Shell' package instead?

2. The manual page 'scsh.1.gz' in /usr/share/man/man1 has only 27 bytes
  in it.  The manual page, 'scsh.man', included in the source for
  'scsh' has 1982 bytes.  Is there a defect in the scsh cygwin package
  (i.e., did the manual page get package incorrectly), or is this
  a problem with my cygwin installation?

This is because the multi-tty branch got merged into emacs CVS
mainline. Most likely nobody tried it on cygwin before. Someone that
uses cygwin needs to take a look at what does it take to make it
compile again. Probably just a few #ifs need to be updated.

Typically when scripts run fine from the command line and not from 'cron',
it's because they explicitly or implicitly depend on some environment
settings (i.e. variables) that aren't available when 'cron' runs.  The
typical solution is to make sure that you include those environment settings
in your scripts or your crontab.  FWIW, this is not a Cygwin specific issue.
The same thing would happen to you running the script from 'cron' on other
platforms.  So if you find that this is indeed your problem, you may want
to review the man pages for 'cron' and/or other 'cron' documentation.

It is in the category "Interpreters" under Debian so I've put it there
for Cygwin as well.

I have a series of Cygwin Bash and Perl scripts for backing up my machines.  I
develop/debug them interactively using Cygwin Bash shells.  Once everything
works, I light them off using a shortcut pointing to a batch file that fires up
Cygwin Bash and tells it to process the top-level Bash shell script:

$ cat ssh-backup-all.bat
C:\cygwin\bin\bash ./ssh-backup-all

The top-level Bash shell script sets the environment up to match interactive
login and then does it's job:

$ cat ssh-backup-all
#! /bin/sh
. /etc/profile
. /home/dpchrist/.bash_profile
# do backup stuff

HTH,

David

explorer.  Is this possible? (I'm using bash and python scripts)


I have a series of Cygwin Bash and Perl scripts for backing up my machines.  I
develop/debug them interactively using Cygwin Bash shells.  Once everything
works, I light them off using a shortcut pointing to a batch file that fires up
Cygwin Bash and tells it to process the top-level Bash shell script:

$ cat ssh-backup-all.bat
C:\cygwin\bin\bash ./ssh-backup-all


The top-level Bash shell script sets the environment up to match interactive
login and then does it's job:

$ cat ssh-backup-all
#! /bin/sh
. /etc/profile
. /home/dpchrist/.bash_profile
# do backup stuff

Wouldn't it be possible to omit the first two executable lines and have 
the batch script read


c:\cygwin\bin\bash -l ./ssh-backup-all

regards
 Steve

It is in the category "Interpreters" under Debian so I've put it there
for Cygwin as well.


Note that some packages are in multiple categories.  clisp, for example,
is in the Interpreters and Shells categories.  And the editors Emacs and
Xemacs are in the Interpreters and Editors categories.  scsh likely belongs
in both the Interpreters and Shells categories.  Many people will look for
the "Scheme shell" in the Shells category.

ldconfig problem

2007-08-29 Thread Senthil Nathan

Hi,
I'm using cygwin for the first time to compile my programs.

I get the following error during dynamic loading of my libraries.
And I came to know that there is no concept of "ldconfig".

So how do I load my dynamic libraries while compiling.

this is the command i run on linux platform, which works well.
$ gcc `xml2-config --cflags --libs` -o save save.c  --> /usr/local/lib
has the library to linked with this.

but how do i compile this in cygwin.
and the error I get in cygwin is,
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/che02099/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccWWThmX.o:save.c:(.text+0x15c):
undefined reference
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks
Senthil
