gcc-dw2? or fast sjlj-exceptions EH
This is Tatsuro Matsuoka writing. There have been some discussions since I uploaded the topic : 'Slowness problem due to sjlj-exception for Octave'. In the topic, Brain wrote >But by the time you've done all that, you might as well >just package a separate gcc named "gcc-dw2" or whatever and have them >both installable in parallel, to please everybody. This is what Danny >did with his 4.2 MinGW releases. Is it really possible "gcc-dw2" ? I think it is grateful for me to build the fast octave if it will be used. However, I'm afraid that parallel existence of two different GCCs confuses the cygwin users. The best solution, I think, the speed of sjlj-exceptions EH on the cygwin is as fast as that of other platforms. The "gcc-dw2" is the second best solution and it should be treated with great care. I’m not a specialist on the cygwin and am mere one of the daily users of the cygwin. I would like to hear the comments and opinions from the cygwin experts. Sincerely yours, Tatsuro MATSUOKA Is there any possibility that the speed of sjlj-exceptions EH will be faster than that of present states? -- 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/

The most likely cause of the problem would be a failure during installation that left a DLL or EXE missing somewhere. If you re-run setup.exe, telling it to "Install from local package directory", and just clicking 'OK' all the way through the various options, it should have a second go and tidy up anything that got missed first time. 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/

Michele Caramello wrote: > - Downloaded the whole package on my disk > - Installed 'Default' proposed configuration from 'Local repository' on > c:\cygwin: installation successful What does this mean, downloaded the "whole package"? Your installation is broken because you are missing a number of required packages. Looking at your cygcheck output, the following packages should have been installed but were not: alternatives ash base-files base-passwd bzip2 crypt cygutils findutils groff libbz2 libiconv2 libintl2 libintl8 libncurses8 libpcre0 libpopt0 libreadline6 mktemp rebase run tar termcap terminfo texinfo Setup should have found and installed all of these, so try just running it again and accepting all the options. If it does not try to install them then it probably can't as they aren't in the local install cache, which means you need to download them. Some of the above are not technically required, but many are, notably the lib* ones. There is no way Cygwin can function with what you currently have installed, though.

I have CC’ed this message to Reini, who is the Cygwin maintainer for the Perl packages and might have a better idea what is going on. From my point of view it looks like this: The perl-libwin32 package was updated to version 0.27, which no longer contains the Win32 module, but there is no separate perl-win32 package. I’m somewhat surprised that this hasn’t come up earlier. The best way forward from my point of view would be to build a new perl-libwin32-0.27-2 package that includes Win32.

I'm working on updating a release of Cygwin we use internally at NVIDIA. I've written a Perl script to auto-configure Cygwin after installation that uses these non-core Win32 module functions: Win32::IsAdminUser() Win32::LookupAccountName() In our current version of Cygwin (1.5.21-2) one gains access to these functions with: use Win32; However, in the latest version of Cygwin (1.5.24-2), the Win32.pm module does not exist. The Win32 CORE functions can now be accessed directly without loading the module, but the non-core functions don't appear to exist anywhere. I grepped the entire Perl install for the routines that they don't show up. I installed the complete Cygwin 1.5.24-2 package list and they still don't appear. How does one access them? I can't install Win32 from CPAN on the fly because the system may not have network access when it is configured by my script. Does my script have to include it's own local copy of the Win32 module?

Volunteers welcome - are you offering to write one? Three other things to think about. gettext tends to be more powerful and flexible than catgets, and is the i18n library of choice among GNU programs, not to mention it has a man page. Also, cygwin does not (yet) have good locale support, so catgets doesn't really do much right now.

Cygwin inoperable immediately following install
Hi: I just tried to install Cygwin on an HP Pavilion running Windows XP Media Center Edition (which I think is only different in having a some media programs preloaded). After I installed Cygwin I tried to run (in this order) the cygwin.bat batch file, ash.exe, bash.exe, and Run.exe. None opened; I just got a generic dialog box from Windows saying that there was [A problem running this program. Reinstallation may solve this problem.] (I paraphrase). I tried that. Tried running random .exe files from the bin directory. After looking around at the FAQ, I checked out the setup.txt log; all I found out of the ordinary was a series of pairs of lines along this format: 2007/09/10 22:25:26 running: C:\Cygwin\\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/00ash.sh 2007/09/10 22:25:26 abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741515 Are .sh files the post-install scripts that the install guide mentions? What error does the exit code -1073741515 indicate? Oh, and just noticing the beginning of the log, with a series of failed fopen() calls; I don't think that would be a problem (I was installing from directory), but I really have no idea. How can I get Cygwin running on my system? Thanks a lot, asaz989 -- Copy of Setup Log (setup.txt) -- 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Starting cygwin install, version 2.573.2.2 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-action) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-mirror) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-connection) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-cache) failed 2 No such file or directory 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Current Directory: F:\ 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Changing gid to Users 2007/09/10 22:23:14 Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop.

Nothing in your cygcheck output > is jumping out at me as unusual, but without knowing what the > crash said, I don't know the full picture. the original thread is a bit aged, this is why I'm starting a new one... the same problem was reported on 19th Aug by Xie Wei... he didn't solve the problem, he just reinstalled all of cygwin from scratch. this isn't really an option for me (or at least I want to be sure that I don't loose my users' data and the list of installed packages). I can debug here, if I have an executable with debug info. Eric, you were asking for more literal information, I hope this is what you mean: start cygwin setup, follow all options until I get at 'select packages', click on [view] until I get the partial view, only package to update is bash, from current 3.2.17-15 to new 3.2.25-16, click on [volgende] ([next] but in dutch), next is this mostly dutch popup (I work for a dutch company): text in window decoration: setup.exe white upper frame saying: In setup.exe is een fout opgetreden en moet worden afgesloten. Onze excuses voor dit ongemak. on the right hand side there is the icon of setup.exe. then the lower part of the popup says: U was bezig met een bewerking.

I already tried to reboot the system and do the update as first thing, but setup.exe crashes all the same... by the way, I'm using Setup.exe version 2.573.2.2 if I say I want to debug the program ([Fouten opsporen]), I get here: 004AC7CD lea esi,[esi] 004AC7D0 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-14h] 004AC7D3 mov eax,dword ptr [eax] 004AC7D5 mov dword ptr [ebp-14h],eax 004AC7D8 xor ecx,ecx 004AC7DA testeax,eax 004AC7DC mov edx,5 004AC7E1 je 004AC7E8 >004AC7E3 mov ecx,dword ptr [eax+18h] thanks, Mario -- 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/
