Re: User name with spaces and Cygwin web site suggestion

Thanks for the clarifications, Pierre, they will solve my problem. But one
of the motivations of my original post was that I thought I had done what
the faq says. I suggest it gets clarified; it says: "You can rename the
user in the Windows User Manager GUI". I interpreted this to mean to go to
Control Panel->User Accounts->Rename, and did it. I think many users will
do the same. Also, as Coughlan pointed out, the real renaming may break
many things and it may be good to alert users to that.

Also, the FAQ says: "run mkpasswd", without giving the info you gave me
above which is essential.

Thanks again,

Rodrigo

Then you missed a very important point.  I can think of several reasons
or things to check and try but there's no sense in having me or somebody 
else on this list take wild shots in the dark when a little specific 
information from you would narrow the field considerably.  You need to 
reread carefully what's on this page, particularly the parts that recommend 
providing specific information that demonstrates your problems and to also 
provide basic configuration information (cygcheck output).  Please reread 
the page again with an eye toward these areas and post the requested 
information.  Then someone might have a very good suggestion for you.  I'm 
certain you've spent a good amount of time trying to track this down 
yourself, using the available resources.  It's appreciated.  We just need 
you to take some time to let the frustration of your previous attempt(s) 
subside some and come back to the problem with a fresh start. :-)

Also, please don't quote headers and such in your responses.  We highly
discourage those actions since they only feed the spammers.  They're
fat enough already.

Buzz, 

These scripts you've made seem both cool and useful to me. It would
be even better if we had this functionality in some of the cygwin utils,
though, like cygcheck. Any interest in that?

I'm also thinking maybe setup.exe should store the latest known good
setup.ini as /etc/setup/setup.ini or something like that.

more Cygwin

[Joshua Daniel Franklin]

Emmett,

I enjoyed reading your article "Comparing Cygwin and MKS Toolkit" at

and have a couple comments. 

First, 'more' actually is available for Cygwin (I did a quick port a long
time ago), it's just not installed by default. Look for it "Text" category
in the Cygwin setup.exe package chooser. As for the default shell,
I agree that changing it to pdksh or zsh isn't as easy as it could be.

I'd also like to mention that while Cygwin is free (as in both no price
and freedom), like other open source projects the developers are also
users who are building their own skills and having fun. So in that 
sense I like Neal Stephenson's analogy that open source is like car
enthusiasts. Sure, you can get a free car out of the deal, but the real
point is that enthusiasts like to build cars and find the thought of a
poorly built one ludicrous.

Anyway, thanks for your positive remarks about Cygwin,

Joshua Daniel Franklin


p.s. I haven't used it, but if you ever do another comparison you
might include UWIN, which I believe does use ksh by default:

If the Windows login name is still "Rodrigo Braz", that means that you
have not changed it.
Have looked into Nick Coghlan's suggestion?
  
>The cygwin page mentions running mkpassswd in a way that does change the

"mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd"

Cygwin relies on /etc/passwd for things such as "id -un"

mkpasswd is a program that essentially dumps the Windows user database
into a Unix like format. For example your Windows login name appears just
after U-RODRIGONOTEBOOK\ above, while your "name" appears just before.

So you should do what the faq says. Either change your Windows login name
to something without space and run "mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd"
or edit /etc/passwd and change the name (first field) in your record.
You may also want to change your home directory (next to last field).

First I'd like to say that I am sorry for having to ask this.  But I have
searched the site, read the faqs and documentation, and poked around the
directory structure and I am still at a loss.
Basically I just can't use any of the commands.  'cd' and 'pwd' seem to work,
but 'ls' and even 'man' don't.  Most things that I want to use I am told that
the command is not found.
I can go to the /bin direcotry and type ./ls, and it works.  So I guess that
maybe my path is not right.  The path in the /usr/etc/default/etc/profile is
sufficient.  And this is the only place that I can find the .bashrc files and 
such.
What do I need to do?  And why would this functionality not be there from the

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

[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 shows that the FIFO and 
the "cat" go away.

With Cygwin, the "cat" never finishes, even though nobody has the pipe open for 
writing.  Experimentation by running the "echo" and "cat" manually (in separate 
shells and windows) lead me to think that the "cat" simply never sees EOF on 
the pipe.  There are no error messages, but the "cat" doesn't terminate.

I've tried this on Samba-mounted ext2 drives and local (native NTFS) drives in 
the Cygwin environment but it always behaves the same way (i.e., I think it's 
unlikely to be Samba- or NFS-related).

A cygcheck log is attached.

To see the phenomenon:

--
#!/bin/ksh

ls -l fifo
ps
mkfifo fifo
echo 'Text sent via pipe' >> fifo &
sleep 30
cat fifo &
ls -l fifo
rm fifo
ls -l fifo
ps

A simple, compilable test case with results shown on both linux and

short fread(), but no ferror/feof

[Peter Åstrand]

I've discovered that fread(ptr, size, nitems, stream) sometimes returns a
value less than "nitems", but does not set feof() nor ferror(). As I
understand, this is incorrect: All fread() documentation I've found
confirms this. For example, IEEE Std 1003.1 says:

"Upon successful completion, fread() shall return the number of elements
successfully read which is less than nitems only if a read error or
end-of-file is encountered."

I've only noticed the problem when using fread() on a pipe, and when
setting a (another) file descriptor in the same application in
close-on-exec mode. The details are on http://python.org/sf/1071516. I've
been using the latest Cygwin (as of 2004-12-04) on Windows 98.

To me, this looks like a Cygwin bug. Any ideas?

Re: Environment variables & system privilages

[Jason Pearce]

Thanks. This works well enough. But I take it there is no universal 
command to check for system permissions.
The procedure is just try a command that needs system privilages and 
watch the exit status.

Also for the benefit of anyone reading this thread - there was an error 
in my original post. I dropped the "Environment" key from the registry 
path for setting system environment variables. It should have read.

regtool set -s 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\Environment\FOO' 'BAR'

1. What's the "right" way to add add environment variables into the user and

Currently I am using regtool to manipulate the registry. For instance to set
an environment variable FOO=BAR I do:
regtool set -s '\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\FOO' 'BAR'
or
regtool set -s 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session

The first form places it in the user's map, the second in the system

method?
   

Well, that's probably the best you could hope for, if you want system-wide
settings.  I'm not aware of any other command-line tool that would set
these.  If you only want to set environment variables for Cygwin shells,
you might want to edit /cygwin.bat instead.
 

2. How can I test whether my script is running with system privilages?
ie I want to write a script that installs a mount and sets and environment
variable. If the script is running with system privilages I want to make the
change system wide. Otherwise, in the user's profile.
   

Why not try mounting with system privileges first?  'mount' will fail if
it's unable to set mounts, and you can fall back on user mounts.  In other
words:
#!/bin/sh
if mount -tfs d:/projects /projects; then
  regtool set -s 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\FOO' 'BAR'
else
  # User ony
  mount -tfu d:/projects /projects
  regtool set -s '\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\FOO' 'BAR'

#!/bin/sh
if [ ??? ]

Autotools wrapper problem and fix

[Jon A. Lambert]

I'm having trouble invoking the wrapper scripts for aclocal.
Here's my session log...

Is this because the automake wrapper version is at 1.7.9 and devel is at 
1.9.2?

Anyway here's the patch I applied to fix it.

The original error was:

The email I found was:

Subject: Re: PERL and XML::Parser 

It said the problem was: 
It appears that Visual Studio .NET environment variable "LIB" produced invalid output in Makefile. 
If any one could give me a detailed solution to this problem it would be greatly appreciated, I'm new to cygwin so please keep it simple. 

How about adding:
SET LIB=
to your Cygwin.bat?  While you're at it, you might as well add 
SET INCLUDE=
too.
And then please install force XML::Parser and its prerequisites again.

(In reply to comment #3)
This is known problem with multiple processors.
Workaround: Disabeling hyperthreading or - in case you're on a real
multiprocessor system - using the /NUMPROC=1 switch for booting up windows might
have the desired effect.
See the thread at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg01110.html
I get this too, on a single processor machine with W2k SP4
Interesting. For which cmdline exactly?
"cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" also please, since this is the first 
time I heard it on a SMP.

Thanks. I will try that as soon as I figure out how to run mkpasswd.
Meanwhile, it sounds like a good idea to include this bit of info as well
as info on mkpasswd in the FAQ.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

I didn't run mkpasswd manually because I have changed the account user
name before installing Cygwin and assumed that it would be run by the
regular initialization. Isn't that the case?

If not, and if I have to run it manually in this case too, it is not clear
to me what I have to do. Documents I find for mkpasswd describe it as
either printing user information or generating passwords, and it doesn't
look like that's what I want to do here. I don't know what parameters to
use. The mkpasswd I have installed seems to be useful only for printing
/etc/passwd information. Can you help me here?

Thanks,

Rodrigo
