I suspect its a bash bug since it works fine with zsh (tested 64bit only).

Package containing libxml.dll

[ravi r]

I want to install the library file /usr/lib/libxml.dll.a in cygwin.
Installed package
libxml2-devel and that did not install this file. In setup program, I cannot
find a package named libxml-devel.

What package in setup can I select in cygwin setup to install
/usr/lib/libxml.dll.a?

You can answer questions like this one with the package search page:



As you'll find, Cygwin does not have a package for libxml(1).  If you need
it for some backwards-compatibility reason, you'll have to build it
yourself.  Otherwise, stick with libxml2.

Ok, I understand. Thanks for your explanation.

Seen the sample file name it seems truncated rather near 256 bytes (~
128 UTF-16 chars) than 4096 bytes...

where does motif package install Xm/Xm.h?

[lloyd.wood]

I'm attempting to compile Geomview, which depends on Motif, and requires
Xm/Xm.h to compile.

So, installed openmotif 2.34-3 package and source.There's an /etc/X11/mwm so 
something must have been installed. But where are the headerfiles (Xm/Xm.h
etc.) hiding? Not in the usual places; configure can't see them, can't
find them in the directory tree. Did the package even install them?

What's the secret location these days?

thanks

Issues in utmp/utmpx headers

[David Lee]

Hi all,

While trying to port bsdgames to Cygwin I spotted the following issues:

(1) In /usr/include/utmpx.h, utmpxname() is declared a void function.
Should it return int?

(2) In /usr/include/sys/utmp.h, utmpname() is declared a void
function. Should it return int?

(3) _PATH_UTMPX is not defined in any system headers.

Thanks

David Lee

The secret location can be discovered by searching at

  https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi

which will show you that you have to install libXm-devel.
