Syslog-ng-1.5.24 build instructions for cygwin

2003-01-12 Thread John P. Rouillard
Hi all: Thanks go to whoever fixed the bug in cygwin1.dll that caused syslog to fail as soon as a udp packet was sent to it. The bug was introduced sometime around 1.3.12, but is fixed now. So here is my recipe for building syslog-ng-1.5.24. Download syslog-ng-1.5.24 and libol-0.3.6. Patch the sy

Hi all: Can somebody with anup to date python please run the following program interactively: import sys print sys.executable When I run this, sys.executable returns the current working directory, not /usr/bin/python. I just had to have my machine rebuilt from an image, and I have already d

Problem with pty allocation code, race condition?

2004-05-17 Thread John P. Rouillard
Hello: I have noticed a problem when I start X windows. As part of my startup, I fire up three xterms, but only one of them actually completes and displays a prompt. I believe there may be a race condition in the pty allocation code as the three bash processes all share the same tty. "ps -ef" sho

sys.executable broken under 2.3.4

2004-06-12 Thread John P. Rouillard
Hi all: I reported this in python 2.2.2 in December, and it's still an issue on one of my systems with python 2.3.4. When running python -c "import sys; print sys.executable" it prints the current working directory rather than the path to python unless I invoke python with the full path. I can't

Problem with sys.executable solved

2004-06-13 Thread John P. Rouillard
I wrote a bit ago about sys.executable returning the current working directory. I am happy to report that the problem is solved, but I am not sure what caused the problem in the first place. The permissions on python2.3 were mode 000. This allowed python to run, but didn't allow it to do other thi

What happens to managed mounts in cygwin 1.7?

2008-08-23 Thread John P. Rouillard
Hello: I have read a couple of comments (one from cfg IIRC) that managed mounts are dissapearing from cygwin in version 1.7. So I guess I have two questions: 1) if I have a managed mount point working well under 1.5, how do I use the data in the mount point under 1.7? 2) what happens i
