New user question(s)

Hi List, I'm new to cygwin, running xfree86 version. I've attempted to look at the faq and the list archive and didn't see these questions. I think they're a result of some mis- understanding I have of UNIX. When I launch my cygwin window from the icon my .bashrc isn't run. Will someone pleas

RE: Moving cygwin discussions to Usenet? (e.g., alt.os.cygwin)

As a newbie to cygwin I'd like to put a comment in on this one. Even if people are brusque, without being a downright rude, newbie's, like moi, learn and more importantly are helped to learn what questions are apropos on what lists. Per haps even more importantly we also learn how to frame our qu

How do i map an inode or file stream pointer to an expicit, ie full pathname for an open file?

Hi List, I think this is more of a c programming question, but it's for an implementation on cygwin. Therefore I'll take my ego in my own hands and ask the question on the list. Am I missing a function that will map an inode or file stream pointer to an explicit, full pathname for an open file?

Is it possible to copy a file from anywhere to My Documents with bash cp?

How can I copy a file from a directory to My Documents on a bash command line? I played with it and can't hack the syntax. Thanks, Frank -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/

undefined reference to _clock_gettime

After including time.h and trying to generate an executable ld bombs with ERROR 1 and tells me it has an undefined reference to _clock_gettime. gettime is declared in time.h. I looked. Any ideas what I'm missing. I looked through the install packages and couldn't figure out what to download.

gcc builds executables but they're not executable?

Okay, I'm trying to do some stuff with time so downloaded the gnu time command from the install site. A couple of other things also got grabbed, I think they were texinfo and fi I forget. Point being now when I build an executable it's not executable and chmod won't let me make it executable. I

RE: igor

Hi nemrut, This is a high volume list and there's not much patience here for questions deemed off topic or ignorant. Just make sure you post questions about cygwin or something somehow related to cygwin. Read the user's guide. Read the frequently asked questions. And, as much as I hate to say

RE: inetd:ssh/telnet/ftp - Im too stupid to use these

Tom, There are some really heavy hitters here, ie Randall, Harold, Chris and other's who've actually written cygwin, I bet they could help if you decide not to give up. Frank -Original Message- From: Tom Dorgan [mailto:tdorgan@;yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 10:27 AM To: [E

setting socket option SO_RCVTIMEO doesn't affect blocking behavior of recvfrom

Hi List, I'm trying to develop a UDP client application which needs to send a request wait for 10 seconds and if a response isn't received send another request. Wanting to keep things as simple as possible I thought of using setsockopt to force a 10 second timeout on the blocking call to recvfrom.

Thank you Corinna + List! SO_RECVTIMEO isn't supported by WinSock, unfortunately. Corinna -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cyg

RE: posix threads

Hi Mike, I don't know how the different version are cross-referenced but uname tells me I'm running CYGWIN_NT-5.0. And the POSIX Version is set to 199009(which I think means it does most thread stuff but not all of the POSIX 1003.1c stuff). Hopefully this in someway helps. BTW, there is pthread

vim problem with my install, y?

Hi List, Just installed cygwin, and tried to use vi. For some reason, which I hope someone on the list will make abundantly clear to me, all the keyboard input was focused into the leftmost, topmost character of my edit screen. I tried reinstalling vim, uninstalling and going back a version, and
