file event in perl-Tk on cygwin (using POE)

2003-06-06 Thread Bob . Smart
POE + perl-tk is a really nice environment for writing event driven programs. It works fine on linux [though the debugging info is not always all you would wish for]. I want to write a portable program, and I'm trying to get it to work under cygwin. It goes into an infinite loop in IO.pm, specific

krb5-1.2.8 on cygwin + kerberized ssh

2003-05-30 Thread Bob . Smart
I have made a bit of progress since I compiled krb5-1.2.6. ./configure --with-cc=gcc --without-krb4 --disable-dns-for-kdc It would be nice if there was an option to just compile client stuff. The resolv library problem went away. I don't know if that was a change to krb5 or to cygwin. Bison prob

Cygwin setup 2.427 on Win2K

2004-10-21 Thread Bob Smart
I'm trying to run the Cygwin installer on W2K/SP4 (local install) and it lets me get as far as the screen where I select the packages I want...but the NEXT button is inactive, so I can't actually complete anything. All I can do at that point is CANCEL. The system appears to be running Norton In

Cygwin setup 2.427 on Win2K

2004-11-04 Thread Bob Smart
I originally reported that setup.exe would let me choose packages to install, but the "next" button was always disabled so I couldn't actually install anything. One suggestion I received was to run setup.exe with the -5 command-line option (suppress MD5 verification). I finally got a chance to

Cygwin FIFO does not see EOF (NT4sp6, DLL 1.5.11)

2004-12-05 Thread Bob Smart
It appears to me that pipe (FIFO) readers don't get the same indication of EOF in Cygwin that they do in Linux. The following Korn script works as I think it should with Linux: at startup it shows that the FIFO doesn't exist and there's no "cat" running; then it prints the test text; then it sh

Limitation in SCP?

2004-12-13 Thread Bob Smart
I've discovered that in some circumstances, scp seems to get tired early when transferring a largish file (around 200MB). It copies diligently for the first 20-40MB (exactly where it stops varies from run to run), then CPU usage drops to zero, the file stops growing on the receiving end, there'

I haven't yet had an opportunity to try 1.5.12, and it may be a while (just because I'm responsible for keeping the databases on these machines running doesn't mean I get regular access to them...) but I'll keep that in mind next time I get a shot at them. I'd really like to blame Winduhs netwo

Re: Limitation in SCP?

2004-12-15 Thread Bob Smart
I suppose it could be related to the XP piping problem, but I only have NT and W2K. All I can really say is that it never happens (to me, anyway) on NT. It certainly sounds like what others have described on XP. The transfer that fails is a "pull" whether I'm using scp (which fails) or the ta
