Re: Installing Perl modules with "perl -MCPAN -e shell;" fails with "02packages.details.txt.gz does not contain a Line-Count header"
Stephan, I don't recall -- did you attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" at some point (if so, just point to it in the archives, no need to repost)? My guess is that this may be a textmode vs. binmode issue. Try making your home directory a binmode mount, or setting PERLIO=crlf and see if that helps with CPAN. Igor Actually I think this advice is the wrong way around. Before running CPAN, I think you should unset PERLIO if you otherwise have it set. I set PERLIO=crlf by default because my perl scripts heavily interact with DOS programs. If I run CPAN directly I have problems. But CPAN works fine once I unset PERLIO I run it like this: >unset PERLIO; perl -MCAPN FYI - my home directory is a binmode mount.

That's probably because mount is trying to create system mounts by default, and the HKLM key has restricted access (as it should). Try using "mount -u" instead, i.e., mount -u -b "E:/aIEngine/CYGWIN" "/" mount -u -b "E:/aIEngine/CYGWIN/bin" "/usr/bin" mount -u -b "E:/aIEngine/CYGWIN/lib" "/usr/lib" HTH, Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

Well, it's just a matter of adding a check for optarg being NULL and
printing an appropriate message (e.g.,
if (optarg == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Missing key-value separator\n");
usage();
}
).
However, the question is what should getopt's behavior be if something
specified as a "required_argument" is missing? Should it simply set
optarg to NULL, just like it does with "optional_argument", or should it
return an error code of some sort? Any getopt experts out there?

Whoops, never mind. It's a bug, pure and simple. According to
,
two colons after a character indicate an *optional* argument, and for a
required argument one needs to use only one colon. The only change needed
is that opts[] needs to only have one colon after "K".

Understand how the tool works? No, no. This is all too confusing. I'm going to stick with editing the registry with notepad.

possible bug in g++ variable alignment
When compiling (using "g++") and running the following program:
/* start program example */
#include
unsigned char t[1] __attribute__((aligned(16)));
using namespace std;
int main()
{
static unsigned char s[1] __attribute__((aligned(16))) ;
cout << "s = " << ((int) &s[0]) % 16 << endl;
return 0;
}
/* end program example */
I get the result:
s = 8
when I would expect (as I get under Linux)
s = 0
I know that "g++" is dependent on "ld" which limits its maximum
alignment, but under Cygwin, it/they only print/s warnings for
alignments which are > 16.
Note that all is OK if you don't try to also align the global
variable "t".
Also note that if "s" is not declared "static", this doesn't even
work under Linux for me (perhaps with a slightly changed program,
with larger alignment moduli). However, I see no documentation
that automatic variables cannot be aligned using this construct.
