I'm pretty sure this is a problem with your PHP configuration, that have
nothing to do with Cygwin.
Most likely, you have mysqli module mentioned multiple times in PHP
configuration.

locale "de_DE.UTF-8", fscanf problem?

2013-12-17 Thread Tilman Kuepper

Hello,

There seems to be an "unbalance" with fprintf and fscanf when using the 
"de_DE.UTF-8" locale.


The following program correctly writes "2,5" (decimal comma) to a file. But 
reading with fscanf fails - the decimal comma is treated as "end of number".


Regards,
Tilman

--

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(void)
{
   double test;
   setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "de_DE.UTF-8");

   FILE* fp = fopen("test.txt", "w");
   fprintf(fp, "%f", 2.5);
   fclose(fp);

   printf("fprintf writes:\n");
   system("cat test.txt");

   fp = fopen("test.txt", "r");
   fscanf(fp, "%lf", &test);
   fclose(fp);

   printf("\nfscanf reads:\n%f\n", test);
   return 0;
}

It do support two _independent_ installations.
This means, each of them have no way to find out about existence of the other,
barring the full disk search.
Yours were not that independent. Likely, them both were listed in $PATH.

Yes, that's what I meant by writing "if you set up a matching environment."
Looks like you don't just run tools from CMD, you're trying to run the
tools outside of the Cygwin distro with its own Cygwin DLL.  If you do
that, you have to set up the environment around that DLL.  And you
should make sure to follow http://cygwin.com/licensing.html, should you
release your efforts to third parties.

Weird.  I was pretty sure that scanf is doing the right thing, but

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: chere-1.3-1 (x86 and x86_64)

2013-12-17 Thread Dave Kilroy
Version 1.3-1 of "chere" has been uploaded and should be available from 
mirrors shortly.


chere is a script allowing you to add Explorer context menus to start 
cygwin in the selected directory.


This version of the script supports x86 and x86_64. If you have 32 and 
64 bit cygwin installed on the same machine, you can add separate 
context menu entries to start 32 or 64 bit terminals. The default menu 
text does not differentiate between 32 and 64 bit, so if you do this you 
should use the -e option.


Changes:
* Add background context menus on Windows 7 and later
* Support 64 bit cygwin

Fixes:
* Change to appropriate drive when shell is cmd
* Quote path for cmd correctly
* Uninstall correctly when cygwin not in path

I checked the PATH and I don't see any cygwin1.dll on the PATH:

A generic solution for this problem is much more complex than I
anticipated.  I'll be looking into getting this into the next Cygwin
release, but it will take at least a couple of days to get this right,
so don't hold your breath for testing a fix within... uhm... the year
2013, I guess.

I went and wiped BOTH of these Cygwin installations off the machine and went 
and installed 2 new installations in the
same directory locations and now both installations work when invoking mintty 
-e.  So it might have been that one of the
installations was much older and was causing some problem with independent 
installations.

Change in behavior of bash / if [

2013-12-17 Thread Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID) [E]
Today, a script that I use every day stated giving me the following
error message.  (I grant that it might have started earlier and I
didn't notice.)  Note that although it gave the error message, the
script seems to still have worked.

./lddir: line 77: [: too many arguments

Line 77 was as follows.  I'm testing whether $1 is "clip".

if [ x$1 = xclip ]

I fixed it with this.

if [ "x$1" = xclip ]

32-bit, everything was up to date.

I've solved my problem, but the change was unexpected and, for me,
inexplicable, so I thought that I'd report it.

Let me know if you want/need more information.

Your quoting error would produce the same message on Linux; it is not
