[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: typespeed-0.6.2-1
Version 0.6.2-1 of typespeed has been uploaded. Typespeed gives your fingers' cps (total and correct), typoratio and some points to compare with your friends. Typespeed's idea is ripped from ztspeed (a dos game made by Zorlim). Idea of the game should be clear to anyone: just type and type it fast, or be a lewser. 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 . *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

run-time problems with cygwin-1.5.24-2
Problem: after installing cygwin-1.5.24-2, most things work but I've noticed a few things that don't work: perl and subversion (svn). Specifically, the programs do absolutely nothing... command line arguments are ignored, there is no output, and the commands appear to do nothing. There are no error messages, no entries in the event log, etc. Detailed background: I have used a cygwin for about 8-9 years for bridge development between linux and windows. I currently run 1.5.14 and have used it consistently for a year or more. I loaded 1.5.24-2 from three different sites, all with the same result, the latest being mirrors.xmission.com. In an effort to identify the installation problem, I simplified the installation to: default install for everything, then force install for development, system and vim. The installation runs fine, completes, and bash and my .bashrc and vim and a variety of things work. Perl does nothing and svn does nothing. In an effort to see what the problem might be, I focussed on perl (although interesting, this info may not be helpful): - I loaded source for perl 5.8.8, ran Configure, but the compile fails because of conflicting vsprintf declarations. - I loaded source for perl 5.6.2, ran Configure, with a few less errors, but still failure in the compile. I fixed the compile by modifying config.h (to say that I had vsprintf, which indeed the environment does), and the compile works, but the make fails later with an unsupported call to opendir. - I switched back to cygwin 1.5.14, and for grins, tried the build for both perl 5.8.8 and 5.6.2... both worked fine. Perhaps the cygwin dll is in transition... Please help.

There are no error messages, no entries in the event log, etc. Classic symptoms of a missing dll. What output do you see from running "cygcheck /bin/perl.exe /bin/svn.exe"? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be easily viewed." Running cygcheck /bin/perl usually finds the culprit. I had this symptom "perl doing nothing" with an empty PATH.

IIRC the setsid () call's purpose is to identify a process later on, and it allows the option of obtaining the process id from either the process that started the background process, or any processes it might begin while in the background. To detach completely from a terminal, programs normally fork twice - after the first fork (), the process closes stdin, stdout, and stderr, again, IIRC, and then, a second fork () launches the actual process, completely, detached from the terminal I/O channels, after the process begun by the first fork () terminates. At least, that's one technique, but it's worked for me.
