Chris, Corinna Max, thanks but no thanks. I had a real rough start with this, which utterly discouraged me and dampened my enthusiasm to maintain anything at this time considerably! So please consider doxygen and bash to be up again for grabs! As far as I am concerned, can't you just let Max be doxygen maintainer if he still wants to?

Obtaining older packages...

Problem with running remote Linux Java GUI
Hi friends, I use Cygwin/X to run remote X window programs. It works perfect for normal Linux X applications; but not for any Java GUI. In a Cygwin xterm, when I run a Java GUI in a remote linux machine, I only get an empty window which does not show all the interface elements, e.g., button, menu, and others. In the mail achieve, I found some one posted the similar issues when executing a Java GUI in a remote Solaris system. But the solution is not applicable to my case.

I work in AIX support and we have a lot of customers who use Hummingbird Exceed to connect to AIX boxes running CDE. This works fine as long as the AIX box is running dtlogin which sends information back to Exceed. But if they want to run more complicated apps like the Oracle installer (which I suspect is java-based) they have to use XVFB, the Virtual Frame Buffer which emulates a graphics card. I am not sure what else Cygwin needs to give Java what it needs, will be interesting to hear what others say. Hope this helps a little :-). I installed Cygwin last weekend because I wanted to connect to my FreeBSD box from my Win2K laptop and run Emacs in full graphics mode.

Locking file in cygwin
Hi, I am new to cygwin (and win32 programming in general), so if the answer to my question is covered somewhere else, please point me in the right direction. While porting one of my c++ libraries to cygwin, I stumbled over this: Calling fcntl (fd, F_GETLK, ...) returns ENOSYS (function not implemented). I searched the archive and couldn't find anything appropriate to explain why. In short, this happens when I try to handle PID file locking to preclude multiple instances of the same program simultaneously running on a host. If there is a more preferable way of handling this task in cygwin/win32, I wouldn't mind implementing it. One more thing, I don't need backward compatability if that is the case. My target platforms are WinXP and Win2000.

Re: create installation using installed.db

If I follow the instructions from that posting, and burn a CD with that custom installation, what do users have left to do to get a working installation on their machine?

Just a quickie, gotta run :) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cygwinm=110538795118459w=2 Regards, Jesper Vad Kristensen Denmark Hi Jesper, If I follow the instructions on the line you provided below, and burn a CD with that custom installation, what do users have left to do to get a working installation on their machine? Just copying from the inst CD to a local drive would not suffice, would it? Hans, Unless you want to replicate some specific directory structure in addition to package versions (and even then -- see below), it's best to create a CD with the installation tarballs of the packages you need, a copy of setup.exe, a setup.ini, and the custom installed.db. You can then add a batch file that copies installed.db to c:\cygwin\etc\setup (after checking, of course, that Cygwin is not already installed), and runs setup.exe (possibly in unattended mode). Unless you let setup do its magic and install everything from scratch, there are just too many possible things you'll need to patch up... If you do want extra directories in your installations, just have the batch file copy those directories over after setup.exe is done. If you do choose to do it the hard way (copy from CD and manually patch up stuff), the three places I can think of right away are a) the mount table, b) the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, and c) the /etc/services, /etc/hosts, /etc/protocols, and /etc/networks symlinks. For a), you'll need to run mount -m restore_mounts.bat, copy restore_mounts.bat to the CD, and have the user run it (but beware -- the -X flag is not faithfully reproduced by mount -m). For b) and c), it's probably best to just remove those files and re-run base-files-mketc.sh.done and passwd-grp.sh.done, respectively (both of them are in /etc/postinstall). Again, I may be missing some things, so pick the latter approach at your own risk.

You can use file creation test lock instead of UNIX file area
locking. Attached source for crtst-tmout command is below.
To check if another copy is in memory you can check the /proc file
system. You can use the attached source below as an example.
Instead of /proc/pid/stat you may use /proc/pid/exename (this
does not exist on UNIX, and /proc/pid/exe needs root permission).

It's even simpler to setup because sshd uses the built in windows user accounts, whereas CVS pserver requires you to maintain a seperate set of accounts. I think you're confusing the two passwd files. One is /etc/passwd which is created by the Cygwin command mkpassd, and should be created automatically when you first log on after installing Cygwin.

The CVS passwd file is $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd and is a completely different file, with a different format, that is only used by CVS. You must create and maintain this file yourself.

Re: RFC: Fix partial NaN-parsing problem [was RE: sscanf problem]
Hello,
I have noticed, that, while parsing {a float_value immediately followed by
'n' or 'N'} with the %f%c format, the sscanf function of cygwin-1.5.16-1
behaves differently from the scanf function of cygwin-1.5.14-1.
Until cygwin-1.5.14-1 (included), 'n' matches %c, while with cygwin-1.5.15-1
and cygwin-1.5-16-1, 'n' is no more assigned to %c.
In the following test case, I would expect the progran to output
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=2 x=1 m=n
that was the case until cygwin-1.5.14-1 (included).
With cygwin-1.5.15-1 and cygwin-1.5-16-1, the program outputs instead
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=1 x=1 m=_
Maybe I have been misusing sscanf. Or there is a relationship with the
NaN-parsing problem of the newlib.
Best regards.

The following program prints
i=1 x=0
instead of
i=0 x=10
when using the latest version of cygwin1.dll.
No, hang on, on checking the newlib-l archive that seems to have been
something to do with a zero exponent. This is a separate bug: it accepts
the first one or two characters of 'nan' and says ok, everything's still
good, and then because it's reached the end of the string it treats that
as a successful parse; it forgets to verify that it doesn't have an
outstanding half-formed NaN. I'll post a (provisional) patch shortly.
Ok, this is only provisional, because as I point out I'm not quite sure
about the corner case where we've refilled the buffer. It also has minor
formatting issues (slightly long lines in the comment, IMO). However, it
fixes the testcase, and I've got to go home for the evening, so here's my
work-in-progress; comments welcomed.

tetex 3.0.0-x problems
Last April 1st I wrote this message on cygwin-xfree mailing list: I tried to install tex/latex 3.0.0-1 (last version), but I did not succeed. The setup, when arrives at /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh , I think something wrong it happens, since I waited for more than 30 minutes (with Pentium 4) consuming up to 100% of CPU and not proceeding. I had to stop it and to reinstall the previous version 2.0.2-15. Any suggestion on how to succesfully upgrade my tex ? Or Is it a bug of the last version ? Someone succeeded in installing it ? Thank you Today I tried with 3.0.0-2, but still the same problems as 3.0.0-1 happened. Again I had to reinstall the previous versions 2.0.2-15 (in this case /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh works).

The difference being that under Cygwin you must create your own repository password file (I use cvsadmin, a separate program, to do that BTW). The CVS that is packaged with Cygwin is the same CVS that is standard on all unix systems, as far as I know. What I don't know is if 'fallback' authentication works. If you have a valid /etc/passwd file, and the user/password combination exists as a valid Windows user with that password, then it ought to. But, if CVS is looking to find a crypted password in /etc/passwd then it won't work, because that's not how windows stores passwords. If it doesn't, then you'll have to create a CVS passwd file and use the 'crypt' utility to get the crypt()-ed password. The reason I recommended ssh was that I know for sure that its authentication works fine against the windows users and their passwords, so using it would be both more secure and easier to setup (no duplication of accounts between windows users and CVS passwd.) But, if you don't want cvs users to map onto actual users, then using CVS passwd would be better.

Re: Any fix to cygheap_fixup_in_child failure after rebaseall?
Bruce Dobrin wrote: OK, that seems to have worked. I've only used it alone or rebase for specific files before. I generated a file from a find of all dll's under /usr and /lib ( then removed the cygwin1.dll from the list). Can I assume the redundancy of hitting most of these 2 times will not have any adverse effect? With all the stuff I compile on this machine I'm not sure how else to find them otherwise... That's not how you use it. rebaseall already knows where to find all installed DLLs. The only time you should ever use -T is to supply it with *extra* DLLs that you have installed outside of setup.exe. Though it looks like it will work okay your way, since it will just rebase those DLLs a second time, but it's ugly. You could avoid the double rebasing by either a) adding a sort -u to rebaseall after it has merged the two file lists, or b) skip rebaseall and call rebase directly with your filelist.

Re: Problem with 'cvs login'

Corinna fixed things so that this should no longer be a problem: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2004-11/msg00014.html I tested this here and I can confirm that SYSTEMROOT indeed is not being set in the child if it's not included in 'passenv'. I'll see if I can dig further...

Re: tetex 3.0.0-x problems
On Wed, 27 Apr 2005, m. z. wrote: Last April 1st I wrote this message on cygwin-xfree mailing list: I tried to install tex/latex 3.0.0-1 (last version), but I did not succeed. The setup, when arrives at /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh , I think something wrong it happens, since I waited for more than 30 minutes (with Pentium 4) consuming up to 100% of CPU and not proceeding. I had to stop it and to reinstall the previous version 2.0.2-15. Any suggestion on how to succesfully upgrade my tex ? Or Is it a bug of the last version ? Someone succeeded in installing it ? Thank you Today I tried with 3.0.0-2, but still the same problems as 3.0.0-1 happened. Again I had to reinstall the previous versions 2.0.2-15 (in this case /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh works). I would like to know if someone in the newsgroup succeeded in installing 3.0.0-2. Thank you This is not a problem, per se. That is, the above is just a consequence of having a postinstall script do a whole lot of both disk-intensive and computation-intensive stuff on a slower computer. This has been reported before. I've successfully installed tetex-3.0.0-1 (and 3.0.0-2, for that matter), as have many others. Looking at /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh, it basically removes all the .fmt files (precompiled tex formats) and re-generates them. This can take *a long time*, especially on machines with little memory (the ConTeXt format, for example, takes up at least 200MB of TeX memory, IIRC). You can see the number of page faults in the Task Manager of any NT-based OS (e.g., XP). My guess is that you'll just have to wait and let the postinstall script complete (let it run overnight, for example). Igor P.S.
