gcc compile problem: error: stray \168 in program

[grip]

Hi all
I  am having trouble with gcc and  the simplest of programs in C.
To test my gcc  installation, I tried this program:

Code:


#include 

int main()
 {
printf("Test this") ;
return(0);
 
 }


followed by 

gcc test.c -o test. 

I  get  some strange errors which  goes like:

test.c: In function `main':
test.c:5: error: stray '\168' in program
test.c:5: error: `Test' undeclared (first use in this function)
test.c:5: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
test.c:5: error: for each function it appears in.)
test.c:5: error: parse error before "this"
test.c:5: error: stray '\168' in program


Had this got something to do  with unrecognised double quotes?
Can someone provide some  guidance on how to resolve this. 

Help much appreciated!

  Yes.  "\168" is the "Diaeresis" mark, not any kind of quote at all.

> Can someone provide some  guidance on how to resolve this. 

  Don't use Microsoft Word to write C source files?  The real question is, how
did the file get to be that way in the first place?  Do you have an unusual
keyboard layout/mapping?

cheers,

[bug] email 2.5.1-1 hangs attaching a file with complex name

[Alexei Gladkov]

When I try to send a message with file attached email hangs with the following 
report.
 
$ email -b -a AA.AA.AA.AA t...@test.com

Adding full path to the file name can solve the problem.

$ email -b -a /cygdrive/c/AA.AA.AA.AA t...@test.com

Removing extra dots from the file name keeps me happy too.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: multitail-5.2.2-1: View one or multiple files like tail but with multiple windows.

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

A new version of 'multitail' has been uploaded to a server near you.


DESCRIPTION:

MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail
program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your
console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file
matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will
automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example,
monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more
logfiles is possible. 
It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular
expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not.
Multitail can also filter lines (again with regular expressions) and
has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and
deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output
of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of 
external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like
'watch' and such.


Cygwin NEWS:


 o Update to latest upstream release

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: texi2html-1.82 - A highly customizable texinfo to HTML and other formats translator

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

A new version of 'texi2html' has been uploaded to a server near you.


DESCRIPTION:

A highly customizable texinfo to HTML and other formats translator.


CYGWIN NEWS:


 o Updated to latest upstream release


texi2html NEWS
==

1.82 (2009-01-05)

* NEW FEATURES
  

* Add new hooks for user functions, for simple @-commands, and at the start and
  end of special regions.

* BUG FIXES
  -

* Tests are now more cross-platform and more tolerant of missing optional
  dependencies.

* Don't use unidecode on unicode characters that are known not to have a good
  transliteration.  This corresponds with characters with an @-command that
  don't have a transliteration, like @exclamdown...

* Misc minor bug fixes.

1.80 (2009-01-01)

* NEW FEATURES
  

* handle @alias, @quote*, @guillem*, @textdegree, @allowcodebreaks,
  @fonttextsize, @hyphenation, @click, @clickstyle, @click, @arrow, 
  @clicksequence, @geq, @leq, @*headingmarks, @*footingmarks, @smallquotation,
  @ogonek.
  Handle @columnfractions and row prototypes in @multitable better.

* @documentlanguage is used to set the language each time it is seen (except
  if the language was set on the command line).

* new option --css-ref, generate reference to a CSS URL.

* new option --transliterate-file-names, produce file names in ASCII 
  transliteration (set in the default case).

* use accesskey and rel attributes, use link element if set in the init file.

* use node id as targets for sections.

* COMPATIBILITY
  -

* the API for the formatting of menus completly changed. $simple_menu_link
  is removed, everything should be done in $menu_link.

* change handling of @detailmenu and menu comments, with (among other changes)
  the menu function reference replaced by the menu_command function reference
  also handling @detailmenu.

* tex4ht.init now may use a different external program for @tex and for
  @math, and therefore the configuration variables were doubled and
  their name changed.

* change in the interface, a new function reference print_element_header
  has been added, that should print the heading navigation of an element.
  Previously it was done in print_section.

* change in the normal_text function reference API, now there is an 
  input variable true if in simple text.

* change in the menu_entry and simple_menu_entry function reference API,
  the name is always assed, and a new argument tells if there was an
  explicit name.

* change in unknown function reference API, now there is a pass argument
  to be able to handle unknown macros in other passes than the last.
  Report from Reinhold Kainhofer.

* in table_item the text is not formatted with the format command, 
  the text_formatted argument is.

* definition index entries are now formatted with $definition_index_entry,
  not with $definition_category anymore.

* $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{copying} is now $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{copying_comment}.

* TOC_LIST_ATTRIBUTE is now called NO_BULLET_LIST_ATTRIBUTE.

* TOC_LIST_STYLE is now called NO_BULLET_LIST_STYLE.

* changes in command line switches to synchronize with makeinfo:
  --number becomes --number-sections
  --separated-footnotes becomes --footnote-style
  --sec-nav becomes --header
  --Verbose becomes --verbose
  --lang becomes --document-language

* everything before @setfilename is not outputted, like makeinfo. The previous
  behaviour can be restored with $IGNORE_BEFORE_SETFILENAME = 0;

* Now there is an argtype possibility for definition specification 
  and the arg meaning changed. The whole definition parsing is now more
  like makeinfo.

* internal_ref and external_ref don't change inforef to xref anymore.

* change in the heading API. THIS_HEADER is not used anymore.
  New function reference, element_heading  to format a node or a section 
  heading, including navigation and label. Accordingly, print_Top and 
  one_section don't print the element header anymore. Also it is
  reported if the element is a new element, is the main element and
  more arguments, and top element heading is always done in heading.

* print_element_header and print_navigation now return their result.

* new argument for print_misc and print_misc_header, the misc page name.

* printindex is called if it appears, even if the index is not defined or
  there are no index entries.

* image API completly changed. The current behaviour is not stable, so
  is not documented.

* new argument (@@-command name) for quotation and quotation_prepend_text.

* image file paths are not completed anymore in the default case. The previous
  behaviour can be restored with $COMPLETE_IMAGE_PATHS set to true.

* there is a new 'style' key in $complex_format_map, to be able to 
  differentiate complex formats inheriting fonts and code_style (like 
  @format, @display).

* $EXTENSION should be undef if one doesn't want an extension to be added.

* THISDOC{'title'} and similar are now for @title 

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: {liblzo2/liblzo2_2/liblzo2-devel}-2.03-1: A data compression library which is suitable for data de-/compression in real-time

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

New versions of 'liblzo2/liblzo2_2/liblzo2-devel' have been uploaded to a 
server near you.


Cygwin NEWS:


 * Routine update
 
liblzo2 NEWS:
===
  
 * Updated the ELF assembler sources to mark the stack as non-executable.
 * Fixed a HP-UX 11 build issue with Itanium in ILP32 mode.
 * Updated the configure system.

 
DESCRIPTION:

LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for data de-/compression in 
real-time.
This means it favours speed over compression ratio.

LZO implements a number of algorithms with the following features:

 * Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
 * Requires no memory for decompression.
 * Compression is pretty fast.
 * Requires 64 kB of memory for compression.
 * Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the compressor. 
The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
 * Includes compression levels for generating pre-compressed data which achieve 
a quite competitive compression ratio.
 * There is also a compression level which needs only 8 kB for compression.
 * Algorithm is thread safe.
 * Algorithm is lossless.

LZO supports overlapping compression and in-place decompression.

Did you install the xemacs-sumo package ?

Yabbut \nnn should represent an octal escape (right?), but 8 is not an
octal digit.  168 decimal is indeed umlaut (octal 250, hex A8).

In particular, what about the quotation marks?  Are they Microsoft
so-called "smart quotes", octal 223 = decimal 147 = hex 93 for open
curly double quotes and all those plus 1 for closing?  I'd try going
into a non-word processor program, like vi or maybe Notepad, delete
the double-quotes, retype them, and see if the result shows on the
screen as vertical or identical quotation marks.  -- I have to admit
that that doesn't fit the "stray \168" error message, so it's a long
shot, but at least it's quick and harmless to try it.

  It's not been uploaded on sourceware.org yet.  Presumably there was a
last-minute glitch of some kind.

Re: wget, ssh, ssh-agent hang in socket_cleanup

Wget would just HANG intermittently in the Connecting phase.

For reasons I can't really guess at, wget works 3/4 times, ssh only 1/3
times.  I can get through by pressing CTRL-C and re-running the command
(sometimes I have to do this several times), except with rsync which seems
to trap the CTRL-C and I have to kill it using the Task Manager before it
will stop and I can try again.  This also affects ssh-add which seems to
hang trying to connect to the ssh-agent on localhost, so it's not related to
connecting to other machines.

This is something that started happening recently, in the last few weeks. 
Windows Update has run a few times and I thought it may have updated my

network driver; however, after I observed this problem I used Windows Update
to install a network card driver update, which didn't fix (or worsen) the
problem.  Also, the fact that this affects connections to localhost, which
theoretically would bypass the network card driver, seems to discredit the
"network card driver" theory and cast suspicion on the entire networking
stack instead.  This only affects cygwin, so far, though ... so maybe it's
something funny cygwin is doing.

I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit, the network card is a Realtek
PC

Setup - command line only

[Kevin and Nancy]

I was hoping someone would consider a version of setup.exe that only ran 
on the command line, i.e. a non-graphical setup program.  This would be 
especially helpful for remotely updating packages of the Cygwin suite. 
I think it's ironic that the Cygwin suite which specializes on command 
line utilities only has a graphical user interface for setup/updates.


A separate question might be, why can't setup update itself?  Even, 
"click here to download the new setup" would be a setup forward.


Just some ideas.  Hopefully, this isn't the 300th time someone has 
asked, but I did do a Google before sending this.

No, it's only the 289th time, which probably accounts for why you couldn't
find it with Google. ;-)  These kinds of features are missing from
'setup.exe' because there hasn't been a volunteer contributor for them.

That is easy to set up yourself.  Below is my /bin/cygwin_setup:

#! /bin/sh
dir="/"
url="http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe";

cygwin_setup="${dir}$(basename "${url}")"

cd "${dir}"

That's true but I believe the OP was lamenting that there wasn't a

That's what I like about this list - there's always another way to
interpret a question.

For me, the fact that I can now drive setup using a command line is
good enough. The fact that the GUI is still visible and being driven
by the magic command line incantation is a non-issue for me :-)
