Tim,

do you have one of those:
$ locate cmdunh
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/sauter/b-cmdunh.mf
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmdunh10.mf
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/vcm/vcmdunh10.tfm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm

and/or try this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/setup
$ zgrep cmdunh *
tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/sauter/b-cmdunh.mf
tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmdunh10.mf

tetex-tiny.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm

If you have those (you should, as they are in the base package), your
mapping
may be corrupt (and my wizardry ends).
I would try the following things in this order:
1) Re-run texconfig
2) Re-install tetex-base and re-run texconfig
3) Take a deep breath, try to understand kpsearch and act accordingly :-)


HTH,

Ciao
Tom

Good question. I've not used pdflatex before, so I can't be sure whether
I'm doing this right:

==
$ pdflatex bug1

It looks as if it's not finding any of the font definitions. Perhaps
unsurprisingly, I just get a PDF file which gives font errors when I
try to load it, and then gives a blank page.

Should I have some environment variables set up?

Nick,

The Cygwin setup.exe installer isn't bad for screen readers on purpose--
we just don't use them and have no way to test. Do you happen to know of
a Free screen reader that we might use? (I'm not promising patches to
enable this, but it would at least raise the possibility.)

As for installing everything, you might be able to use setup.exe's
command line options. I don't think there's an "install everything"
option, so I put up a fake Base package that "requires" all the other
packages (warning: this may break something). So this may work from 
a command prompt if setup.exe understands multiple -s arguments:

setup.exe -q -s some-mirror -s http://ns1.iocc.com/~joshua/cygwin/all

If not, you'll need to run setup.exe through once, clicking next each
time, to install a minimal installation, and then edit the
/etc/setup/last-mirror file to include 
http://ns1.iocc.com/~joshua/cygwin/all
It must have a real mirror also since my site does not have any
real packages, just the fake "all" one. 

Of course, since you read the User's Guide you know that this is
downloading "several hundreds of megabytes of software", right?
(Are we up to gigabytes yet? We've got 2 emacs packages.)

Either set the environment variable CYGWIN=tty prior to running any
cygwin program or run emacs under rxvt.  CTRL-C is not remappable in
the normal cygwin console due to windows constraints.

The 'objcopy' that comes with the 'binutils' package works fine when 
invoked directly from a DOS prompt (outside of a Cygwin shell).  Of course,
that one comes with Cygwin and links to cygwin1.dll.  If you don't want
to have to install Cygwin or manage a local copy of cygwin1.dll on your
target systems, then this isn't an option for you.  However, if you're 
using a custom built version of 'objcopy' that doesn't use cygwin1.dll, 
then the question is really off-topic for this list.  You'll need to 
debug the problem yourself. Sorry.

using shared libraries w/o cygwin

[Liang, James]

Hi.  I've got a port of objcopy that I'd like to run on Windows systems.
I'd rather not have to install cygwin on the machine that
I'm going to be running this tool on.

The problem I'm having is that whenever I run my program on a file, it
appears to have a STACK_VIOLATION on a call to malloc.  
It works just fine under Linux, under cygwin, and can print the usage
statement and things like that under "DOS", 
but crashes in DOS whenever I actually pass it a data file. 

So far, the only explanation I can come up with is that there's some sort of
failure during the dynamic libraries.  Is there any way I can
setup a DOS environment to make it run?  I tried statically linking in bfd,
but that didn't seem to the problem either.  Could this be caused
by something else?

Oh jeez.  I guess I was too much on my "try a snapshot" bandwagon today.
Rereading I noticed that Martin mentioned that he was trying to 
dynamically load a Cygwin-enabled DLL.  So yeah, the snapshot isn't going
to help here.  Without Cygwin-enabled Java or a kind patch to the Cygwin 
DLL, this isn't going to work, just as Igor said.

But trying a snapshot was fun, wasn't it?! ;-)

The core Cygwin DLL (/bin/cygwin1.dll) has no support for dynamic loading.
You may have been lucky before in that the functionality you had in your
DLL didn't require the loading of the core one.  Apparently this has
changed between 1.5.5 and 1.5.7.  Since this isn't supported, you're
basically on your own...  Sorry.

Paul,

Until Cygwin switches to mknod for devices, /dev will be a virtual
filesystem in Cygwin (as are /proc, /cygdrive, etc).  As such, it won't
show up in the listing of the parent directory (i.e., /).  What you need
to do is create an actual directory for /dev, and the empty file entries
for all of its contents to be able to 'ls' them.  You can use a script I
posted in  for
this purpose (it'll also create some Linux-style symlinks).

RE: Malloc hang

[Larry Hall]

Snapshots do not have debugging enabled.  I was suggesting it because 
the current snapshots are close to the next version to be released
and it makes sense to see if your problem is resolved there or not.
If you still see a problem, then the next step would be to build a 
debug version of the cygwin DLL.  See the FAQ entry:

How do I rebuild the tools on my NT box?

Malloc hang

[Johnson, Allen G]

I am executing a program this parses xml files using libxml2. It only
hangs with one of my xml files works fine with others..  I have used gdb
to find the specific library call to malloc that is hanging.  

It is hard for me to debug the problem any more because after this
malloc call is mad the program hangs and doesn't return to the next line
of code or print anymore debugging information.
I have tried changing cygwin max memory to see if I have run out of
memory but this does not help.
Although I am not sure if this will help I have tried to make cygwin
files with debugging enabled but get errors in the compile process.

?
I know this is not enough info to give me an answer but if you could

If you think that compiling cygwin with debugging will help...can you

Means that the same described behaviour was noticed
on these two boxes.

I will try tomorrow with a snapshot.
If I can, my last play with a snapshot led to
tclsh refusing to start with an error:
cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap ...
*** m.AllocationBase ...
Is there anything else to do but changing
cygwin1.dll?

Re: killing processes owned by others with kill.exe

[Rob S.i.k.l.o.s]

Hello,

patch attached (diff kill.orig.cc kill.new.cc > kill.cc.patch)

It's taken from the latest source that I got from setup.exe (sorry, no

Just a note, when I tried to make from /usr/src/cygwin-1.5.7-1, I get the
following error:

Paul,

Until Cygwin switches to mknod for devices, /dev will be a virtual
filesystem in Cygwin (as are /proc, /cygdrive, etc).  As such, it won't
show up in the listing of the parent directory (i.e., /).  What you need
to do is create an actual directory for /dev, and the empty file entries
for all of its contents to be able to 'ls' them.  You can use a script I
posted in  for
this purpose (it'll also create some Linux-style symlinks).

Did you read the first paragraph of the section on POSIX devices in the
User's Guide?



It applies to all the devices described in that section.

Also, to correct an incorrect implication in your statement above, the 
POSIX paths for these devices start with "/dev", not "/device".

DDS4 device mnemonic with cygwin

[Mazzotta, Paul]

To whom it may concern;

According to the cygwin user's guide, tape drive devices
are mapped to /dev... or /device...  .  Shouldn't you be able
to see these directories from a cygwin window under the
/  directory ?  If so, is it because I did not install all of cygwin
at the time of installation ?   On my Windows 2000 host in a
cygwin window, I need to be able to perform a tar command
in the form:  tar cvf  /dev...(for tape device)  filename.

Any help in resloving this issue is most appreciated !

You'll need to run setup.exe from a machine that has Internet access and 
choose "Download from Internet" instead of "Install from Internet".
Take the directory you downloaded and the setup.exe program to the target
machine, rerun setup.exe, and this time choose "Install from local 
directory", pointing at the directory you brought to this target machine. 
This will allow you to install any or all packages you originally 
downloaded .

Backend doesn't catch the next command, after SIGUSR2

[Patrick Samson]

If I run a test script enough time, it eventually
freezes in this deadlock situation:

The client sends a command to a backend and waits
for an answer. It will wait forever because the
backend
is not aware of the arrival of the request and waits
for a next command.

What happens in the loop is:
 SIInsertDataEntry: table is 70% full,
 signaling postmaster

 In reaction, the postmaster sends to its children:
 SignalChildren: sending signal 31 to process 

Most of the time, it works. But at an unpredictable
iteration, it freezes.

This problem appeared first in a replication
machinery, so I reduced the number of components
involved, to get a simpler test case:
A pgtcl script, running a loop with:
 create table from another-table
 copy table to file
 drop table

The 'create table' regularly fires the '70% full'
event, and at some point, the 'copy' never gets
answered.

I attached these files:
- test.tcl: the script to run.
  Change these values to meet your context:

 set srctable pgr_qryengine_log
 set dbname euronetUsers

  The source table can be anything empty.
  In my case, it's:
CREATE TABLE public.pgr_qryengine_log
(
  pgr_sid int4 NOT NULL,
  tablename varchar(50),
  pgr_gfid int8 NOT NULL,
  pgr_grid int8 NOT NULL,
  pgr_optype varchar(2),
  pgr_when timestamp,
  pgr_username varchar(30),
  qry_result text
) WITH OIDS;

- postmaster-ok.log
 The traces of a successful iteration.
- postmaster-ko.log
 The traces of the forever waiting iteration.
 EOF is received on a ctrl/c on the client side.

Comparison of the traces shows that the signals
are processed, but the backend doesn't start a
StartTransactionCommand for the expected 'copy'.

I don't know the exact conditions for the freeze to
arise. I just noticed that chances are higher if
there is a lot of postgres.exe processes alive.
I could run 1 runs without any extra backends.
So I opened a pgAdmin III session to have many
connexions (on multiple db, with different accounts).
With 7 to 10 processes, I reached the freeze at
3392, 2027, 6729, 272, 1871 runs.

I tried to strace the postmaster, but never managed
to have the problem. I guess strace slow down the
system too much.
I just have a strace of a correct iteration.

Done on:
- postgres 7.3.5, W2000 SP2, cygwin 1.5.5-1
- postgres 7.3.5, NT SP6, cygwin 1.5.7-1

I can't tell if the source of the problem is in
cygwin or in postgres, so I post in the two lists.

Would be helpful if anybody can reproduce the
problem, or provide advices to progress on the
debugging work.

Patrick

tetex (latex) permission problem on NT

[d j]

Dear All,

I could not find any reference to this anywhere, so
FYI or maybe for the FAQ:

Running Cygwin 1.5.7-1 on XP professional, any attempt
to run latex produced an immediate permission error on
texmf.cnf ('cannot access', if I recall well). I
noticed that some of the files in the texmf subdir
have a  'group' property of Users, other of 'None'
(which is everyone, afaik). 

I logged in to XP as Admin and recursively allowed
Users access to files/directories under texmf. This
solved the problem.

I think my problem was related to the fact that my
login is domain controlled (ie not local to the
machine). This renders me a member of the group Users,
who don't have access to all files in the texmf
directory. 

I am not exactly an expert on the confusing topic of
NT vs unix vs cygwin permissions, so correct me if
what I did is overkill.

CHeers,
Dirk

dvips failing to include cmdunh10 font definition

[Tim Reid]

I believe I have found a problem with dvips. If I run LaTeX against the
following file:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\font\anewfont=cmdunh10

\begin{document}
This is in the normal Computer Modern font.
{\anewfont This is in the vertically expanded Computer Modern font.
It looks fine in the DVI viewer.}
However, when using:
\begin{quote}
\texttt{dvips(k) 5.92b Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)}
\end{quote}
it gets replaced with a fixed-width font, but using the correct letter
spacings. This means that it looks {\anewfont very odd indeed}.
\end{document}

I get a DVI file which looks just fine, and displays just fine using
MiKTeX's Yap viewer. Furthermore, when I run dvips from the MiKTeX
distribution on it, it produces a PostScript file which looks fine.
However, when I run dvips from the teTeX package in Cygwin on the same
DVI file, the resultant PostScript file displays and prints wrongly,
with the wrong font used for the bit which should be cmdunh10. Looking at
the PostScript messages produced in GSview, it seems to be substituting
Courier, as CMDUNH10 isn't defined. Examining the PostScript file, there
seems to be no definition of the cmdunh10 font, although it looks as if
dvips is trying to include one. The file contains the following extract:

.
.
.

cleartomark
%%EndFont
%%BeginFont: CMDUNH10
%%EndFont
%%BeginFont: CMR10
%!PS-AdobeFont-1.1: CMR10 1.00B
%%CreationDate: 1992 Feb 19 19:54:52
.
.
.

So the cmdunh10 definition is just not there. Is anyone able to reproduce
this problem?

   FWIW, I encountered this as well.  I'm trying to get a handle
on another problem, and as one attempt I tried a fresh (zap all
Cygwin registry entries, rename my Cygwin directory and packages
repository), minimal (base plus emacs and enough X to support it)
install.  emacs failed to start, giving a Windows dialog box with
the same complaint about libICE's unavailability.  The paths
looked OK, and after a bit of thrashing around I went back to the
old installation.

   I'll repeat the minimalist effort if there's any additional
information you'd like to hear about, like the cygcheck output
therefrom.

don't succeed to run emacs.

Windows looks for the missing dll libICE.dll.

Please note that I don't know Unix, except some basic command.

Thanks for help.

No.  On Windows, DLLs are searched in $PATH, unfortunately.

I'm more concerned about differences between OpenSSH installation on
different OSes, not about other SSH implementations, actually.

No, the command line syntax would be the same as the one for rebase in
this regard:

$ rebase
usage: rebase -b BaseAddress [-Vdv] [-o Offset] [-T FileList | -] Files...
^

Hence, the above usage would be the following instead:

$ find /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 -iname '*.dll' | 
rebaseall -T -

Re: please try the latest snapshot

[Rajesh Balakrishnan]

Hi,

This snapshot (20040306) fixes some of the problems with running emacs.
The problem existed even with snapshot of 20040225 (hadn't tried 0305).

emacs (under X11) has been running fine for over a day now.
It used to crash randomly (SEGV), earlier.

Thanks,
rb

Question about cygwin dll path

[Davide Marchignoli]

I wonder if it would be possible to move the dll from the /bin or any 
other directory in PATH.

For instance, could they be moved in /lib/win32 or something like that?

Thanks,

cygwin1.dll page fault Win95

[Alistair Bell]

Hi,

I'm running cygwin on  a Win95 machine and have a problem that I often get
the windows error box up saying  the program caused an invalid page fault in
cygwin1.dll, its always at the same address and occurs for a range of
programs, when wish closes, when xwin runs ...

It is solved by downgrading to cygwin 1.5.5-1 rather than the latest
1.5.7-1.

It doesn't stop me running things, I just ignore the error boxes and things
seem to run OK, I then click close  program from the error box when I close
the program.

There may be some bright ideas to try so my post is for anyone to send me
fault finding ideas, the fault doesn't bother me particularly but it
probably should be fixed (unless of course it is me being stupid!)! Although
no great programmer I am experienced with windows and linux.

Regards

Alistair Bell

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: TeXmacs-1.0.3.3-1: A scientific wysiwyg Editor and Interface for Computer Algebra Systems

[Andreas Seidl]

The package "TeXmacs" is now available with the Cygwin distribution.

Canonical homepage:
   http://texmacs.org

Canonical download:
   ftp://ftp.texmacs.org/pub/TeXmacs/targz/


DESCRIPTION:

GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both
inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write
structured documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and
user friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The
program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts,
which help you to produce professionally looking documents.

The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically
generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for
computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme
extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write
your own extensions to the editor.

Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and Html/MathML/Xml. In the future,
TeXmacs is planned to evolve towards a complete scientific office
suite.


GETTING STARTED QUICKLY:


1. Install TeXmacs
--

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Editors"
or "Math" and then click on the appropriate fields until the above
announced version number appears if it is not displayed already.

2. Start and test your X


Double click on the Cygwin icon on your Desktop, this brings up a black
Cygwin shell. Type:

   export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
   XWin -multiwindow -clipboard &
   xterm &

In the tray in the lower right corner of your screen you will see a
black X and an additional (white) window should appear. In order not to
set the DISPLAY variable again and again, you should set it as a user's
variable; e.g. under Windows XP:
Start->Control_Panel->System->Advanced->Environment_variables

3. Start TeXmacs


... by typing

   texmacs &

into a Cygwin shell. Try a second time, if there is a problem.

4. Hands-on tutorial


I suggest to try Part 1-3 of the following hands-on tutorial:
http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~seidl/texmacs/tmtour.html#3


FURTHER INFORMATION:


If you have TeXmacs-related questions or comments, please send them to
the texmac-users mailing list, see:

   http://lists.texmacs.org/wws/info/texmacs-users

(subscription necessary). I would appreciate it if you would use this
mailing list rather than emailing me directly. Cygwin-related
questions and comments should be sent to the Cygwin mailing list at:
cygwin at cygwin dot com .

Before emailing these lists, make sure to

* read the FAQ at: http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/help/faq.en.html

* look at the manual, which comes with TeXmacs and which can be browsed
at: http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/web-manual.en.html

* read about some Windows-related issues at
http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~seidl/texmacs/tmtour.html#issues

* search the mailing lists and Google


Have lots of fun with TeXmacs!

Andreas.

SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS ioctl not implemented

[fabrizio . ge]

Hello.

I compiled a program intended for Unix on Cygwin. It has a slight problem:
sound does not work because the program tries to call the SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS
ioctl on /dev/dsp, and it fails.

Looking at the source code, that ioctl is not implemented in fhandler_dsp.cc,
although it is defined in the header file.

fhandler_dsp.cc implements a similar ioctl, SNDCTL_DSP_STEREO, which takes
the arguments, increments it by 1 and sets the variable audiochannels_ to
the result. Maybe SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS would be identical, just without the
increbent by 1, but I am no expert so I cannot be sure.

Is it possible to implement SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS in future versions of Cygwin?
