Re: [ERROR] msgget() "Function not implmented" Error : Cygwin

[Yeo Kai Wei via Cygwin]

Hi Corinna,

Thank you for the help.

I tried following the instructions on 
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html#start-cygserver


There was a line, "Before you run Cygserver for the first time, you 
should run the /usr/bin/cygserver-config script once."


I googled for some instructions and it said to use "cygserver-config" in 
the Cygwin terminal.


I did it and the following is the reply from the terminal.

*Without admin privileges*

"$ cygserver-config
Generating /etc/cygserver.conf file
chown: changing ownership of '/etc/cygserver.conf': Permission denied


Warning: The following function requires administrator privileges!

Do you want to install cygserver as service?
(Say "no" if it's already installed as service) (yes/no) yes
/usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 181: cygrunsrv: command not found

Installation of cygserver as service failed.  Please check the
error messages you got.  They might give a clue why it failed.

A good start is either you don't have administrator privileges
or a missing cygrunsrv binary.  Please check for both."


*With admin privileges*
"$ cygserver-config
Overwrite existing /etc/cygserver.conf file? (yes/no) yes

May I ask what I should do next?


Thank you very much.


Kind Regards,

YEO Kai Wei

P.S. How do you convert to using POSIX message queues in Cygwin?

Hi Cygwin,

May I ask if there will be an implementation of msgget() on Cygwin for
Windows?

There is, for ages.  However, you have to run cygserver for that
to work:

   https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html

If cygserver isn't running, the XSI IPC functions return ENOSYS.

Alternatively, convert your tool to using POSIX message queues, those
are using a file backed solution and don't require cygserver.

Dear Sir/Madam,

However, it appears that your mirrors:

are already registered in our mirrors database, but are not listed in 
the current mirror list because they appear to be out of date (See [2] 
for reasons)


Please let us know if you think that is in error.  Otherwise, your 
mirror should automatically appear in the list once it is up to date.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.


Thanks for hosting a Cygwin mirror.

Thank you for your prompt response. I will let you know once I find out why
the reason of being not updated.

Did you check for the cygrunsrv binary?  If you don't have it, then 
install the cygrunsrv package.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Test: dash 0.5.12-3 (TEST)

[Cygwin dash Co-Maintainer via Cygwin-announce via Cygwin]

The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* dash  0.5.12-3

This test release has been rebuilt re-enabling libc fnmatch and glob as
Cygwin/winsup/newlib now supports locale dependent named character and
equivalence class patterns like glibc in Cygwin versions > 3.4.6-1.
Install this test package only of you are running Cygwin snapshots or
test packages newer than 3.4.6-1 as is an install condition, so *should*
not be installable with current stable or older.
If no issues are reported the package will be upgraded to current when
the Cygwin current stable release is updated to > 3.4.6-1.

Thanks to Andrey Repin for testing and bringing this to our attention,
Harald van Dijk on the dash list for pointing out the commit
responsible, and Corinna Vinschen for adding support for the class
patterns to the Cygwin libc functions.

Please test this Base category shell as extensively as possible
(especially if you are a Cygwin package maintainer) as this
package is used in all installations.
I have it locally installed as my /bin/sh so it is used by most scripts,
cron jobs, and cygport builds, so it has and is getting frequent
exercise with no apparent issues so far.

DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be
as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where
possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU
Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.

For more information see the project home page:

http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/dash/

For changes since the previous release, see below;
for complete details see:

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: make-4.4.1-1 & -2

[Marco Atzeri via Cygwin-announce via Cygwin]

Versions 4.4.1-1 (default) and 4.4.1-2 (test) of

  make

are available in the Cygwin distribution

CYGWIN_CHANGES
The default version is built with jobserver using FIFO and
the test version using pipe.
In same complex corner case the previous 4.4-1 was reported to
fail and it is unclear if the pipe version is the solution
or just a side coincidence.
Please report any problem on any version.

DESCRIPTION
A GNU tool for controlling the generation of executables and other
non-source files of a program from the program's source files. Make
allows users to build and install packages without any significant
knowledge about the details of the build process. The details about
how the program should be built are provided for make in the program's
makefile.

CHANGES
Updated to the last upstream main release.
Full details on:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2023-02/msg00127.html
