Ok, so I guess my problem is linking against cygwin1.dll *and*
msvcrt.dll together. right?
A. How do I solve that? I assume I should link only against
cygwin1.dll, since I need it for my dll, right?
But how do I prevent Visual Studio to link against msvcrt.dll as well?

B. **OFF-TOPIC**: How can I reply to a specific message in the mailing list?
I'm pretty sure that just mention the same title won't be enough. even
tho that what I'm trying to do right now...
I'm not subscribed to the list, so I can't just hit the "Reply" in my
mail (http gmail).
I've tried to look everywhere, got even for several mailing-list FAQ's
(non-cygwin related), but found nothing.

You could try hitting Reply and manually adding the mailing list
address (c...@c... . com),  or replacing the list of recipients with
it.

/usr/bin/install doesn't install files from Makefile

[Michael Osipov]

Hi,

I am trying to install an application which autoconf. While configure 
and make run fine, make install does it's job but no files and 
directories are created at the end. As if no action has happened.


I am building asciidoc-8.6.9 from source. I am on Windows XP SP3.

How can I figure out why install is silently failing?

Thanks,

Michael

It is indeed. I have also changed --prefix=$HOME/asciidoc. No avail also.

Use a gateway such as http://news.gmane.org.  The main Cygwin mailing list
can be read under gmane.os.cygwin there.  You can followup individual posts
and the subject threading is done correctly.  Works great except for
occasional delays in seeing list traffic show up there.

Fwd: Need help port forwarding with ssh and cygwin...

[Steven Dennis]

Hello,

I am having trouble using rsync and ssh from a ubuntu server.  Right
now I have cynwin64 on my windows 8.1 x64 machine.  Right now I have
no problems using the rsync command from my local machine to get files
from the ubuntu server back to my windows machine, however I would
like to have the files "pushed" from my ubuntu machine to my local
machine via an opened port over ssh.

I know the IP address of my computer running cygwin and I have set up
my router to forward a single port and a range of ports to this
machine.  I have also changed the windows firewall settings to allow
stuff in bound for these ports.  I can use my public IP address to
access my router web page so this confirms that I am using the correct
IP address.  I am just not sure if cynwin64 can be used this way.

So here is what I am having trouble with:
I ssh over the typical port (22 I think) into my ubuntu server which
is ~ 4000 miles away and I run the following command

rsync --update --ignore-existing --progress -vure 'ssh -p 29501'
/home/username/downloads/1/ /k...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cygdrive/e/1

This usually gives me the following error

rsync: mkdir "/k...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cygdrive/e/1" failed: No such file
or directory (2)

Thanks
-S

Leave off the / before kira.

rsync --update --ignore-existing --progress -vure 'ssh -p 29501'
/home/username/downloads/1/ k...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cygdrive/e/1

If that doesn't work, ensure that you can ssh: ssh k...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Ok so I think that the problem is with connecting from my server to my
local computer over ssh.  I ssh to my server and then issued a ssh
k...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and got the following error.

ssh: connect to host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 22: Connection timed out

Have you setup the ssh server on your local computer by running
"ssh-host-config" as an admin user? If so, is the sshd service running?

The first thing to get working is the ssh server. Make sure you can do
"ssh localhost" from your Cygwin computer. If that works, then there is
some firewall blocking the connection. If that doesn't, look at
/var/log/sshd.log to see why the sshd service didn't start.

[Steven Dennis]

Thank you so much.  I didn't realize that I needed to do this.  This
is a little over my head so thanks for the help.  I did a
ssh-host-config and followed the instructions, rebooted the computer
and then did a ssh localhost.

Here is what I got
$ ssh localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 12:e6:5d:c7:e0:2a:5f:60:dd:2c:69:8e:40:26:25:63.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Re: Fwd: Need help port forwarding with ssh and cygwin...

[Steven Dennis]

So I went to

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/preinstall_req_cygwin_ssh.htm

and I am kind of stuck at 5.4.4 where it recommends

Backup the c:\cygwin\etc\passwd file and then use any editor to open
the file in edit mode. Remove only those entries of the user that you
will use to connect to the host on which you want to install a
Management Agent. Ask the user to make a backup of the
c:\cygwin\etc\passwd file before editing.

I am over my head with this.  Which ones do I remove?  And then the
next step leaves me even deeper under water.

Waiting for your help.  Thanks
