Hi,

I haven't followed this thread in all its gory details, but I recall 
that only emacs-w32 was reported to have problems. I have noticed random 
crashes and weird messages without prior user actions in emacs-x11 since 
I moved from WinXP + Cygwin x86 to Win7 + Cygwin x86_64 a few weeks ago. 
None of these problems ever occurred on either FreeBSD (amd64, Emacs 24) 
or Debian (amd64, Emacs 23). I just thought I'd mention this because the 
problem does not seem to be limited to the -w32 build of Emacs. I've 
preserved the odd messages on three separate occasions:


Args out of range: [t 21335 39727 373923 0.5 blink-cursor-timer-function 
nil nil 10], 4


Invalid function: #[(timer) "^H >^H

delq] 4 2245674]


timer-relative-time: Wrong type argument: vectorp, [t1 time high low 
micro pico nil 3 0 2 ...]


All of them indicate timer related problems as Max pointed out. I do not 
have meaningful backtraces of the crashes at this time because the 
installed emacs-x11 seems to lack debug symbols.


I'll grab the -x11 build of Ken's test release and see if these odd 
messages and crashes still occur.


regards,
Markus

Installing a program as a Windows service on Windows 8.1

[Nick Urbanik]

Dear Folks,

I have written a Perl program that I want to run as a service on
Windows 8.1.  However, when I type:
cygrunsrv -I NAME -p /path/to/NAME

Note: NAME has execute permissions, and can be run.

I get the error message:
cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: OpenSCManager: Win32 error 5:
Access is denied.

I am doing this from an account that is shown as "Administrator".  I
am not very familiar with Windows; I only use it to solve problems
that other users of it are having.  Any suggestions are most welcome.

Re: Installing a program as a Windows service on Windows 8.1

[Arjen Markus]

You may need to open the properties dialogue for that file and edit
the properties. I have run into similar problems myself (installing a
DLL via a makefile causes the loss of the execute permission in my
case. No idea why.)

To do this, select the file in question in Windows Explorer and press
the right mouse button. You need the security tab and the permissions
are best set to "ful control" - more than necessary, I guess, but
easiest.

Arjen

That's not enough. Even "administrator" don't have full rights by default.
You have to run this command from elevated prompt.
Be aware though,  that I've encountered an issue with Win8, where ANY service 
I install that is not standard, turn into "manual start" and no longer run 
until someone log in to the system.

For the default manifest to get going we also need the patcha new GCC

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lftp 4.4.16-1

[Andrew Schulman]

A new version of lftp, 4.4.16-1, is available in the Cygwin distribution.
This is a new upstream release, with bug fixes.  Please see
http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html for the list of changes since version 4.4.14.

lftp is a sophisticated file transfer program and ftp/http/bittorrent
client. It supports multiple network protocols.  It uses the readline
library for input, so it offers tab completion and command history.  It has
job control and bookmarks. It can mirror sites and transfer multiple files
in parallel. It keeps trying interrupted operations until it can complete
them.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated, new for x86_64: sng

[Andrew Schulman]

A new version of sng, 1.0.5-2, is available in the Cygwin distribution.

* Rebuilt with libpng15 instead of libpng12, so this package is no
longer obsolete in Cygwin.
* First release for x86_64.

SNG (Scriptable Network Graphics) is a minilanguage designed
specifically to represent the entire contents of a PNG (Portable Network
Graphics) file in an editable form.  Thus, SNGs representing elaborate
graphics images and ancillary chunk data can be readily generated or
modified using only text tools.  SNG is implemented by a
compiler/decompiler called sng that losslessly translates between SNG
and PNG.

Thanks. These crashes are very mysterious to me.  Two of them have
recently been reported to the emacs bug tracker, including one by me a
couple hours ago:

   http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17526



FYI, this turned out to be an emacs bug that had nothing to do with 
Cygwin and is now apparently fixed.  Your crash, on the other hand, 
remains mysterious.

libc++ doesn't use C99 features

[Markus Wanner]

Hi,

trying some C++11 features, I recently figured that Cygwin's libstdc++
does not use C99 features. I.e. c++config.h has the following lines:

/* Define if C99 functions or macros from , , ,
   , and  can be used or exposed. */
/* #undef _GLIBCXX_USE_C99 */


That in turn disables some C++11 features, so that the following example
fails to compile (due to its use of std::to_string).


#include 
#include 

int main()
{
  std::cout << std::to_string(42L) << std::endl;
  return 0;
}


Is this a known issue?


Regards

Markus Wanner

Problem with python ctypes module

[Resch Reinhard]

Hello,

I have found the following problem on Windows XP with Cygwin 1.7.29:
If I build a Fortran dll and try to load it from Python by means of the ctypes 
module, python.exe crashes after LoadLibrary returned.
That problem may be reproduced with the files in the attachment.

Just type
tar -zxvf pyfor.tar.gz
make test

I have installed the following software:

Betriebssystemname  Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
Python 2.7.3
ctypes 1.1.0
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.8.2

Here is the output of the following commands:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 P5915 1.7.29(0.272/5/3) 2014-04-07 13:44 i686 Cygwin

$ ldd test.dll
ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll (0x7c91)
kernel32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll (0x7c80)
cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x6100)
cyggfortran-3.dll => /usr/bin/cyggfortran-3.dll (0x6998)

$ make test
python test.py
loading ..
done
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'test' failed
make: *** [test] Aborted (Speicherauszug erstellt)

The problem seems to be related to the Fortran runtime libraries.
If the PRINT statement in test.f95 is removed, the problem disappears:

MODULE TEST
CONTAINS
SUBROUTINE RUN()
!~ PRINT *, 'RUNNING'
END SUBROUTINE
END MODULE

Best regards,

Emacs-w32... still crashing...

[Zdzislaw Meglicki]

It just crashed on me again, after a couple of days
of no crashes at all. The versions of everything
are unchanged since my last message. But this
time, and this is new, I have not seen it before, 
it did not give me the gdb option. Instead it just
crashed and said: "Segmentation fault (core dumped)..."
I have the core, though I don't know if it's going to
be of much use to anyone. I have been reading
mail, scrolling through the messages, with rmail at the 
time.

You only get the prompt to attach gdb if the exception is caught by 
emacs, which then calls emacs_abort.  If the exception is handled at a 
higher level, this won't happen.  The best thing is to just start emacs 
under gdb to begin with.

Problem logging into ssh

[Noah White]

I’ve installed and configured sshd to run as a service under a particular 
account which is an Administrator. I can ssh in fine as that user. However, if 
I try to ssh as any other user I get the following error:

Last login: Wed May 21 18:58:35 2014 from foo.home
/bin/bash: Operation not permitted
Connection to tango closed.

I’ve found a few threads talking about this issue but none of the 
details/solutions were either pertinent or worked.  

Other details:

Windows Server 2008 R2
Cygwin 1.7.29(0.272/5/3) CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64
OpenSSH 6.6p1-1

TIA,

-Noah

Cannot log in to SSHD, either with public key or password

[Chloe]

Please help, I cannot log into Cygwin with SSH.

ssh -vvv Chloe@localhost log: http://pastebin.com/vt2aP86F

I don't know why it says
debug3: Could not load "/home/Chloe/.ssh/id_rsa" as a RSA1 public key
because I can use that key to log into a VPS.

I installed the latest ssh. I verified permissions:

---
$ ls -ld . *
drw---+ 1 Chloe None 0 May 21 19:31 .
-rw---  1 Chloe None   395 May 21 19:31 authorized_keys

This is the error in Application event viewer log:

-
The description for Event ID 0 from source sshd cannot be found. Either 
the component that raises this event is not installed on your local 
computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the 
component on the local computer.


If the event originated on another computer, the display information had 
to be saved with the event.


The following information was included with the event:

sshd: PID 6840: Failed password for Chloe from 127.0.0.1 port 49802 ssh2
---

I've also tried
$ ssh chloe@localhost
and
$ ssh Chloe@127.0.0.1
and I've also tried Putty.

Here are non-comments in sshd_config

---
$ grep -v ^\# /etc/sshd_config | grep -ve '^\s*$'

ListenAddress 127.0.0.1
StrictModes no
AuthorizedKeysFile  .ssh/authorized_keys

-

I see this in the sshd.log

--
$ tail -1 /var/log/sshd.log
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
---

But I don't understand why it can't open it. That's how ssh-host-config 
set it up. I had to change owner for sshd_config to myself so I could 
save my edits (ListenAddress).

I checked in Task Manager and sshd is running as cyg_server.

Re: Cannot log in to SSHD, either with public key or password

[Evan Rowley]

This page has a lot of good information in it:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html

One part you might want to look at is where it mentions
"cyglsa-config" - this could be useful to you given what you're trying
to set up. In order to utilize this, you'll also want to enable the
"Create a token object" and "Act as part of the operating system"
local security policy options.

These are things I've missed in the past when setting up sshd to work
with key-based authentication. They might not be relevant to the
problem you're having, but it's still good to have the bases covered.

Gdb with python enabled

[Robin KERDILES]

Hi,

I installed cygwin64 for compiling c/c++ projects

Then I saw there was some pretty printers for STL containers

I would like to use them but I need gdb with python enabled

I see cygwin doesn't provide gdb with gdb enabled :

(gdb) python print 123

How should I do now ?

Fwd: Cannot log in to SSHD, either with public key or password

[Chloe]

I had to use 'mkpasswd -l' to re-generate my passwd file, (and also 
mkgroup), and re-ran ssh-host-config. Actually I tried 'su - Chloe', saw 
an error, tried to edit passwd manually, screwed it up and deleted 
'sshd' user (even though I don't see that user in Windows user 
management), found 'mkpasswd', restarted server, was trying to read 
another home directory, logged out of bash, log back in, re-ran 
ssh-host-config, and then it seemed to work.

While what you're describing could, perhaps, work, if you set the all
up in the right way, you would at most be able to get it to work with
password authentication.  If that's not working for you either, my
best recommendation is to read through the openssh README under
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin and follow the directions there for
configuring sshd.  Note that '/usr/bin/ssh-host-config' will create
a local user to run sshd under.  If you're trying to use public-key
authentication, this will only work for users on your local machine.
You will need to look into the configuration scripts that
'/usr/bin/ssh-host-config' runs to see how it creates this user
and create a like one for your domain, if that's your goal.  There is
more discussion of this in the email archives, though it is probably
several years back.  Otherwise, if a local pub-key user is enough
for your needs, these scripts should be enough to get you going or
provide you the details of what you need to get things working in
this way.  If you have further issues that you want to bring back
to the list, I recommend you read and follow the problem reporting
guidelines found at the link below.  You'll find what the list needs
from you as bootstrap information to help diagnose your particular
problem.

Build gdb yourself with python enabled.
