mmap() on 64K aligned address fails

[René Berber]

Hi,

I was trying to figure out the often reported failure of mmap seen by running
configure on some packages and, after looking at the answers on the list, I
tried a test on a 64k aligned (malloced) address, mmap(... MAP_FIXED ...) fails.

Attached is the small test file that was compiled with the command at the end of
the same file.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks.

   Here is a matrix of mmap possibilities:
mmap private not fixed
mmap private fixed at somewhere currently unmapped
mmap private fixed at somewhere already mapped
mmap shared not fixed
mmap shared fixed at somewhere currently unmapped
mmap shared fixed at somewhere already mapped
   For private mappings, we should verify that changes cannot be read()
   back from the file, nor mmap's back from the file at a different
   address.  (There have been systems where private was not correctly
   implemented like the infamous i386 svr4.0, and systems where the
   VM page cache was not coherent with the file system buffer cache
   like early versions of FreeBSD and possibly contemporary NetBSD.)
   For shared mappings, we should conversely verify that changes get
   propagated back to all the places they're supposed to be.

   Grep wants private fixed already mapped.

iconv and WCHAR_T

[Samuel Thibault]

Hi,

For converting external charsets to internal wchar_t format, I use
iconv from that charset to "WCHAR_T", but it seems buggy:

- iconv -l doesn't show WCHAR_T
- echo a | iconv -t WCHAR_T
  does work
- echo é | iconv -t WCHAR_T
  does not work

Is that on purpose? Isn't WCHAR_T an alias for UCS-2LE on x86 cygwin?

Regards,
Samuel

These messages are no problem.  Setup checks for McAfee
because it is known to cause setup problems.  As the
message notes, "McAfee may not be installed,...", which
is true in your case.

I suppose... I said that because the Cygwin inetutils package manpages
say "BSD General Commands Manual" in the header and "4.2 Berkeley
Distribution April 29, 1995" in the footer, so I assumed that Corinna
used the BSD source and not the GNUified version.

Yes.  'cygcheck -svr' still crashes...



That's not too surprising since cygcheck is not a cygwin program and
doesn't understand the CYGWIN environment variable.

So, what is causing the crash, then?

The fltk team is working towards 1.1.7. Cygwin and mingw patches have 
been submitted, also by me. The current CVS versions works quite well 
with both gcc and gcc -mno-cygwin and I recommend them.


The only problem that prevents a cygwin release is that programs linked 
with shared fltk libraries hang, statically built programs work fine.

The 1.1.4 release was compiled with gcc 3.3.x and works fine with
shared fltk libraries.

This is probably caused (I have not tested this) by the problem related 
to libstdc++ in the current gcc 3.4.4 that causes octave to hang as 
well. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg00071.html.

I don't know about the cygcheck error but the /dev/console problem
sounds like cygwin working as designed.  From the description, it
sounds like expected behavior to me.  Something is trying open
"/dev/console" when there is no console and is getting an error.

Well, duh.

 Oh, you can't open it when there's not one bound?  Fair enough.

 Must be syslogd then.  Chris M, did you run the syslogd-config script
or install it manually? 




1.3.2-29.)  Perhaps it's one of the destinations in syslog.conf that is
the source of the problem then.  What's your syslog.conf look like?


 


I should point out that said error occurs when init starts.. But not as
a result of anything else.. So could this instead be an issue with init?

(I can replicate this problem, using syslogd-config and init-config to
install the services, and starting them in that order).



  Oh look, so can I!

  I also see a bunch of other errors:

can't open(/etc/ioctl.save, O_WRONLY): Permission denied.
can't open /dev/console.
cannot execute "/etc/rc".

...which makes sense, because:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /artimi/arch/doc> ls -la /etc/rc /etc/ioctl.save
-rw---  1 dk Domain Users 44 Nov 25 17:38 /etc/ioctl.save
-rw-r--r--  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM   65 Nov 25 17:49 /etc/rc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /artimi/arch/doc>

  I have no idea what ioctl.save is, but /etc/rc should definitely have the
'x' bit set.  I fixed both these problems with "chmod u+x /etc/rc" and "chown
SYSTEM /etc/ioctl.save"; despite the fact that I told init-config to overwrite
both these files, it didn't set the perms, so that could almost certainly be
considered a bug in init-config.


cheers,
  DaveK


Agreed. Doesn't change the /dev/console bit though.. Don't know where
the call to access that is coming from, considering you're starting init
in cygrunsrv...

It's probably a conceptual difference between UNIX/Windows and what
/dev/console means on each system.

  Oh look, so can I!

  I also see a bunch of other errors:

can't open(/etc/ioctl.save, O_WRONLY): Permission denied.
can't open /dev/console.
cannot execute "/etc/rc".

...which makes sense, because:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /artimi/arch/doc> ls -la /etc/rc /etc/ioctl.save
-rw---  1 dk Domain Users 44 Nov 25 17:38 /etc/ioctl.save
-rw-r--r--  1 SYSTEM SYSTEM   65 Nov 25 17:49 /etc/rc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /artimi/arch/doc>

  I have no idea what ioctl.save is, but /etc/rc should definitely have the
'x' bit set.  I fixed both these problems with "chmod u+x /etc/rc" and "chown
SYSTEM /etc/ioctl.save"; despite the fact that I told init-config to overwrite
both these files, it didn't set the perms, so that could almost certainly be
considered a bug in init-config.

RES: RES: Problem accessing samba shares via ssh in XP

[Felipe Franciosi]

It worked for me too.

But as my XP box is not under any domain, I had to provide user/password in
the command line:

NET USE X: server\\share PASSWORD /USER:USERNAME

Where PASSWORD and USERNAME are my data.

Thanks a lot!

Again i did a complete reinstall (removed everything except the

After this i did a reinstall of bash with the setup.

I attached the setup.log.full (since i didnt see anything *strange* in 
it) and again the cygcheck.out.


Still when i try to run cygwin from cmd.exe i get the following result:

I should point out that said error occurs when init starts.. But not as 
a result of anything else.. So could this instead be an issue with init? 
(I can replicate this problem, using syslogd-config and init-config to 
install the services, and starting them in that order).

there that is relevant to why the postinstall script failed?  I'm

  Ok, that's interesting.  What does it show at the end of /var/log/setup.log?
And what happens if you run a shell and execute "bash -x
/etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh"?

[  Note that in order for that test to work, you first need to edit
/etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh, and remove the redirections so instead of

done >/dev/null 2>&1

it just says "done".  ]

Maybe you really want dirname.

/c> dirname N/A
N
/c> echo $(dirname N/A)/
N/

Wrong. It was stalled for more than one hour. The task manager senses
no processing for that process (no activity in HD either).
Maybe some windows misconfiguration... but the problem is there.

So you selected the inetutils package and you don't have
/usr/bin/rsh.exe afterwards?  If that's the case then we need more
information to be able to help you, please see
.  You will NOT see "rsh" anywhere in
setup, the name of the package is inetutils.

I don't find the rsh.exe or rsh when I try to install using setup.exe (Cygwin 
installation).

The rsh binary is part of the 'inetutils' package.  Go to the Cygwin
package search page at  and type "rsh.exe"
in the search to find this.

You will not find the source code for this package in any cygwin CVS
server.  This package (and nearly every other package offered in the
distribution) is software from another upstream project, it is not
something that the Cygwin project has any direct relation to -- other
than providing a prepackaged/precompiled binary.  If you want to look at
a package's source, either go to its upsteam website/CVS server or
install the source package.  Consult the README for the package under
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ for more information about where it came from. 
In the specific case of inetutils you probably will not find a canonical
"upstream" site because it is all code derived from the original BSD
unix.

Package search is at

http://cygwin.com/packages/

anyway in this case (searching for "rsh") returns a number of packages.

inetutils is the package that you want.

Ciao,

Where is rsh ?

[Krithivasan, Balasubramaniyan (STSD)]

Hi

The last time I installed Cygwin about 4 months before, I could
install Cygwin rsh in my box.

Today for about 3 -4 hours I am trying to find how to install
Cygwin rsh . But I failed & hence this email. 

I went to find where the rsh source code is in CVS. But I failed
to find that also. Can somebody please let me know where I can find ?

Thanks !

Thanks,
Bala
