"Permission denied" on /usr/bin/sh when running gmake with multiple jobs

[John Daintree]

Hello all,

I've tried to solve my problem online and in the mailing list archives, but 
I've had no joy.


I'm working on a makefile for an application. Everything runs fine if I just 
run the make in a single job. However if I use the gmake -j to run 
multiple concurrent jobs I get unexpected errors from my scripts. 
Specifically it seems that /usr/bin/sh becomes randomly unavailable.


Here's the (sort | uniq) error output from the make with N=3: And again, 
everything's ok with N=1.


/cygdrive/j/12.1.dss/svn/apl/win/bin/mk_cc: 
/cygdrive/j/12.1.dss/svn/apl/allos/bin/verbose: /usr/bin/sh: bad 
interpreter: Permission denied
/cygdrive/j/12.1.dss/svn/apl/win/bin/mk_cc: 
/cygdrive/j/12.1.dss/svn/apl/win/bin/mk_depend: /usr/bin/sh.exe: bad 
interpreter: Permission denied
/usr/bin/sh: /cygdrive/j/12.1.dss/svn/apl/allos/bin/verbose: Permission 
denied
/usr/bin/sh: /cygdrive/j/12.1.dss/svn/apl/win/bin/mk_depend: Permission 
denied


I'm currently getting this on both a Windows  7  (x64) machine and an XP 
(x86) machine.


Any ideas anyone?

John.

Oh, and the cygwin version is...

Re: "Permission denied" on /usr/bin/sh when running gmake with multiple jobs

[John Daintree]

I've installed the beta of cygwin 1.7 and I have the same problem there.

I've now attempting to build cygwin from sources to try to figure out what's 
going on.

You're not running something like a virus scanner, are you? I know my
scripts throw some strange errors when McAfee is running. Why these
errors mostly happen at night while I'm in bed, I'm not sure. However, I
do know that since I've disabled McAfee, I sleep a lot better since work
never calls in the middle of the night.

HTH,
Jurriaan

Cannot build cygwin from CVS source.

[John Daintree]

Hello All,

I'm trying to build my own cygwin to investigate my problem "Permission
denied" on /usr/bin/sh when running gmake with multiple  jobs".

However, the make process terminates early with the error " cc1plus: error:
invalid option `no-use-libstdc-wrappers`". Tail of make.out follows my
signature.

I've google'd "no-use-libstdc-wrappers", and get no relevant hits. 

g++ --version returns:

[John Daintree]

Hello all,

Making more progress now, hopefully the getting near the end.

I'm getting an link error for `___RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_LIST_END__'.

I know this came up on this list a few months ago but I couldn't find a
solution.

Thanks again,

RE: "Permission denied" on /usr/bin/sh when running gmake with multiple jobs

[John Daintree]

Hello all,

I'm still having this problem but I'm beginning to narrow it down.
 
Here's an example of the error I get:

"J:\trunk\svn\apl\win\bin\mk_cc:
/cygdrive/j/trunk/svn/apl/allos/bin/verbose: /usr/bin/sh: bad interpreter:
Permission denied"

I've upgraded to cygwin 1.7, and I'm running this on Windows 7 x64. Cygwin
is installed on the local C drive. I've removed all anti-virus software.

It seems that I only get this sporadic (and incorrect) "bad interpreter"
message if my scripts are located on a mounted SAMBA drive. If I move all
the scripts to my local drive the access problem goes away, but I want to
keep them on the remove drive. If I run my make task with a single job (-j1)
the problem goes away.

Here's my mount output

C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
I: on /cygdrive/i type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
J: on /cygdrive/j type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
M: on /cygdrive/m type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
U: on /cygdrive/u type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
Z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

My scripts are located on /cygdrive/j which cygwin has auto-mounted from my
J: drive, which I'd previously (using Windows) mapped from our SAMBA server.
I've experimented with acl/noacl but that seems to make no difference, and
to be honest, I'm sort of guessing a bit. 

I also thought I try mapping the relevant drive directly (ie //devt/files on
/cygdrive/j) to remove the intermediate use of "J:", but I can't find out
how to prevent cygwin from automatically mounting all my drives.

I've also been trying to build a local cygwin so I can try to debug the
problem, but I can't get the build process to complete (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/111950) 


Does anyone have any tips, or things I can try in order to get this to work?


Thanks,
John.

scripts throw some strange errors when McAfee is running. Why these
errors mostly happen at night while I'm in bed, I'm not sure. However, I
do know that since I've disabled McAfee, I sleep a lot better since work
never calls in the middle of the night.

HTH,
Jurriaan

RE: "Permission denied" on /usr/bin/sh when running gmake with multiple jobs

[John Daintree]

Hi Corinna,

Thanks, I've tried that and it doesn't seem to make much difference, I still
get the same problem. 

Can you shed some light on http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/111950?
I may need to get my local cygwin build working to investigate this further.

The /cygdrive mounts are always automatic.  If you want to mount the
path manually, use another directory like, say, /home/devt-files or
something.  See
http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

RE: "Permission denied" on /usr/bin/sh when running gmake with multiple jobs

[John Daintree]

Hi Corinna,

I was using a "gmake" not the cygwin "make", and that was generating the
windows path. I've moved over to the cygwin supplied make and fixed up all
the relevant environment variables. No windows paths anymore but I'm still
getting the permission problem.

None of the scripts are created dynamically.

I'd tried strace before, but didn't really know how to interpret the output
or locate the relevant bits. (is there an article that describes the
output?)

I've run the make again under strace and posted the output of both strace
and make (I couldn't find how to have the output of both go to the same
file) to www.johndaintree.com/index.htm. Would it be too much to ask that
you take a look?

Thanks for your help,

john.

Where's this Windows path coming from?  Are you sure you're using only
Cygwin tools?  If so, get rid of the Win32 path and use either the
matching /cygdrive path, or mount (the relevant subtree of) drive J to
some other POSIX path.

The permission denied is probably not the permission of sh itself, but
the permissions of the script.  It's lacking execute permissions,
perhaps.  If the script gets generated during the make run, it might
be a race.  One job tries to use the script before another job has
run chmod on the script.

Instead of building your own debug version of Cygwin, you could also
just start with stracing your make runs and see what happens when the
script access fails.

Incorrect names for file owners on mapped samba drives

[John Daintree]

Hello all,

I've got a number of drives mounted from  SAMBA machine (which is running
linux).  My local machine is running Cygwin 1.7 on Windows 7 x64.

Here's (some of) my mount output:

//devt/users/johnd on /j type smbfs (binary,notexec,user)
C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
J: on /cygdrive/j type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

"ls -l"  on /cygdrive/j and /j returns "" as the name of both the
owner and the group of all the files on those drives. Windows explorer
correctly identifies DEVT\johnd as the owner of the files.

johnd's line in  /etc/passwd is:

johnd:unused:1000:513:U-johnd-PC\johnd,S-1-5-21-2127453718-491543372-2845810
030-1000:/home/johnd:/bin/bash

and "id" returns:

uid=1000(johnd) gid=513(None)
groups=0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users),1006(Debugger Users),513(None)

on the SAMBA machine my UID is 208, so I figured I'd just need to change the
above to:

johnd:unused:208:513:U-johnd-PC\johnd,S-1-5-21-2127453718-491543372-28458100
30-208:/home/johnd:/bin/bash

But, having done that and re-logged in I get the message:

Your group is currently "mkpasswd".  This indicates that your gid is not in
/etc/group and your uid is not in /etc/passwd.

and the "id" command returns:

uid=400(johnd) gid=401(mkpasswd)
groups=0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users),1006(Debugger
Users),513(None),401(mkpasswd)

I've no idea where those 400s came from.

an "ls -n" on a single file returns:

rwxrw-r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 1286 Mar 11  2009 zones.h

so maybe the UIDs aren't getting across at all from the SAMBA server.

What do I need to do to get the usernames "in sync" with the SAMBA box?

Thanks again everyone,

/john

Thanks Larry,  That seems to get be nearer where I want to be. I'm still 
getting some confusing (to me at least!) results.

Given that mount includes:

U: on /cygdrive/u type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

i.e. u: and /cygdrive/u are the same location

why is it that "ls -n u:/tmp/jd.tmp" gives:

-rw-r--r-- 1 208 200 0 Oct 30 16:45 u:/tmp/jd.tmp

but "ls -n /cygdrive/u/tmp/jd.tmp" gives:

-rw-r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 0 Oct 30 16:45 /cygdrive/u/tmp/jd.tmp

In addition "ls -n u:/tmp/*" returns the same UID (MY uid) for every file in 
the directory even though they are owned by different users. I created a new 
user on my windows machine and when I log in on that account all the files in 
u:/tmp are reported as owned by that user. Again windows explorer lists the 
correct owner for each file (as DEVT\username).

Thanks again,
john.

RE: Incorrect names for file owners on mapped samba drives

[John Daintree]

> .  

Hi Larry, 

Thanks for the heads up about PCYMTNQREAIYR, I'll configure my Mailer/Client as 
soon as I can get the IT guys to do it, or figure out how to change my Outlook 
2007 preferences.

I've established that the differences in the output of -ls -l on the different 
drives is down to differences in acl/noacl.
 
$ mount
//devt/devt on /u type smbfs (binary,notexec,noacl,posix=0,user)
U: on /cygdrive/u type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

ls -l on u:/tmp returns "johnd" as owner of files
ls -l on /u/tmp returns "johnd" as owner
ls -l on /cygdrive/u returns "" as owner

I suspect that the difference is that /cygdrive/u does not have "noacl". 

I also tried mounting with posix 0 and 1, but that seemed to make no difference.

As I said before ls -l  returns "johnd" as the owner on all files (not just 
mine) which is odd, but less important to me right now. Interestingly the mks 
"ls" returns different SIDs for different files, but not the windows SIDs. I 
guess it returns the SAMBA SIDs, and I'm missing a mapping layer somewhere. If 
you have insight on that I love to hear it.

Thanks for the help,
john.

Hi Corinna,

Thanks for the examples. I had read the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup
(honest!), but I must have had my incantations a little wrong.

I have most of the users and groups over now. Interestingly the "root" group
still displays as "" in the ls output, but such files are rare and I
can live with that for now.

Thanks again.

Ah, that's interesting. I've been seeing odd effects too (in 1.7, 4 core
machine). Some of which (thanks Corinna) look like problems in our Samba
configuration but others seemed not to be network related. (current
directory not being correct for example). I'll try to post some repros or
examples when I see them.

cygpath 1.7.18 problem. cypath returns mangled filename

[John Daintree]

Hi,

I’ve hit a problem with cygpath. Here’s a script:

JD0=/cygdrive/d/obj/13.2.tmp/apl/win/32/unicode/winapi/dev/opt
JD=/cygdrive/c/src/13.2.dss/svn/misc/samples/tmp

cygpath --version

echo ..
echo $(cygpath -up "$JD0:$JD:$JD:$JD")
echo ..
echo $(cygpath -up "$JD0:$JD:$JD:$JD:$JD:$JD")
echo ..


Here’s its output :

cygpath (cygwin) 1.7.18

..
Note that the second call to cygpath has “mangled” the first element of the
returned path. The only difference between that 1st and 2nd calls to cygpath
is the length of the argument.
Note that changing  the separator from : to \; doesn’t help – it still
mangles the return.

Chgcheck output is attached.

Thanks,
John

Starting CMD from a bash shell with current directory on a mounted/network drive results in an incorrect current directory

[john daintree]

Hello All,

 

I've just upgraded a machine from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Part of my work
process is now broken because when starting cmd from Cygwin with the current
directory on a mounted drive I get the following error/warning/issue:

 

 

/cygdrive/j$ cmd

'\\nas00.\devt\users\johnd'

CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.

UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.348]

(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

 

C:\Windows>

 

 

The drive J: is mounted as something on our network (I've redacted a bit of
the path, for probably no good reason)

 

Is there a workaround? Or is this something that can be fixed in Cygwin?

 

Thanks

John.

TMP and TMPDIR mapping

[john daintree via Cygwin]

Hi

 

My understanding is that Cygwin maps $TMP and $TMPDIR (and probably others)
to a Windows form (/cygdrive/c/tmp  -> C:\tmp) when calling a WIN32 program
(e.g. cmd.exe). Is it possible, from bash or from Cygwin startup , to add
additional environment variable names so that they  are also automatically
mapped in the same way?

 

Thanks

/John

RE: TMP and TMPDIR mapping

[john daintree via Cygwin]

Hi Audrey.

Here's an example of what's going on:

>>: export TMPDIR=/cygdrive/c/tmp/jd
>>: export TMPDIR2=/cygdrive/c/tmp/jd2
>>: cmd.exe
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.1105]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\>echo %TMPDIR%
C:\tmp\jd

C:\>echo %TMPDIR2%
/cygdrive/c/tmp/jd2

So, if I set TMPDIR and TMPDIR2 in bash, and then call cmd.exe then TMPDIR
is changed to c:\tmp\jd but TMPDIR2 is left as /cygdrive/c/tmp/jd2

I was hoping that there's something I can do to get the following in
cmd.exe:

C:\>echo %TMPDIR2%
C:\tmp\jd2  # TMPDIR2 "mapped"
to c:\ in the same way that TMPDIR is

I hope that's a clearer example.

Note that the actual use case is calling other Win32 programs, and the
environment variable name is different, but the above example is an attempt
to simplify the repro.
$PATH is mapped in  a similar way. So I assume that there is a list of names
which are mapped. I'd like to be able to add my own names to that list.

Thanks.
John.

Nop. The actual mapping depends on your settings, but defaults to /tmp which
is inside Cygwin installation root.
Another option is to mount /tmp with 'usertemp' option, which would then
redirect it to the user's %TEMP%.

What is your question, exactly?
What you want to achieve and what your actual observation compared to
expected behavior?
