RE: Suggest upgrading to emacs 22.1.92?

2008-03-17 Thread Jonathan Kamens
I tried recompiling stock Emacs 22.1 with the version of gcc currently
in Cygwin.  After running it for a couple of days, it didn't crash once.
So it seems to me that both 22.1 and 22.1.92 are useable with current

I'm sure I'll regret it soon enough. :-)

I installed the Cygwin emacs 22.1-3 package, along with emacs-el and
emacs-X11, because I wanted to use some elisp files that were
incompatible with emacs 21, and I didn't feel like going through them
and changing all the incompatibilities back to emacs 21 syntax.  All my
other packages are current.

I found that 22.1-3 crashed frequently (like, every few minutes during
active use).

I downloaded the source for emacs 22.1.92, the current pretest version,
from the FSF server and compiled and installed it myself, and it's
running quite solidly and hasn't crashed on me once.

So, two questions:

1. Has anyone else experienced frequent crashes with 22.1-3?
2. Would the maintainer of the emacs package be willing to switch the
experimental package from 22.1 to 22.1.92, or to provide 22.1.92 in
addition to 22.1?

This came up recently in the cygwin-apps mailing list:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-03/threads.html#00221

If you can offer insight into the problems mentioned in that thread, I'm
sure it would be appreciated.

Re: compiling C w/cygwin vs. -mno-cygwin; inconsistent C behavior

 with
 spaces the same as bash.

When you use plain unadorned double quotes, they tell the shell that
you're typing the command into how to group arguments, but they do not
exist past there.  In other words, bash uses the quotes to reconstruct
that you want argv[1] to equal 'file with space' but argv[1] itself does
not contain any quotes.  So if you then turn around and pass that
argv[1] on to the MSVCRT exec() which does no quoting, the grouping is
lost.

 For some reason, the multiple args in the redirector are being merged -- I
 I can get the quoting to work in the no-cyg case by using 2 sets of quotes:
 gvim 'file with space'

When you quote quotes, that means the shell sees them as integral parts
of the command rather than metacharacters that are to be interpreted and
discarded.  So the invoked program will have them in its argv.  You
could also use \file with space\ if you wanted to expand variables
inside the string.

 So cygwin pays attention, and my re-passing the args via execv
 preserves the quoting of filenames, but the no-cyg version appears
 to take the argv[1..#] arguments and merge them into 1 argument.
 To do the same in the no-cyg version, I'd have to peel each arg
 off, put quotes around it, then call execv with everything requoted.

Or just link your MinGW version with the MinGW -lexecwrap library.

 So you are saying that when I call execv in cygwin, it unpacks
 my 'argv', and makes a new 'argv' with quotes around each string?
 and that is what gets passed to create process?  Does it use
 single or double quotes?

Not quite.  What Cygwin does depends on whether it's exec()ing a Cygwin
binary or a non-Cygwin binary.  In the case of a Cygwin binary this is
all moot because the argv is handed directly to the child through
internal communications, bypassing Windows, so there is no need for any
quoting at all.  When a Cygwin binary exec()s a non-Cygwin binary it
first constructs an approproate command line that concatenates argv,
inserting quotes around any elements that contain whitespace.  Note
again that it does not create a new argv because there is no such thing
as an argv in Windows: what a child gets is a command line, and if it
wants it in the form of argv it has to synthesize it from that.

 But the executed program, with or without cygwin, already has the
 arguments parsed when main is invoked.
 I.e. when either the cygwin or no-cyg program is invoked, they both
 have the same view of the arguments in 'argv'.

main() is a fiction that is invented by the CRT startup to support the C
language.  It is by no means the actual entrypoint of the program.  One
of the functions of the CRT startup code is to retrieve the command line
from the operating system and parse it into words to populate argv. 
That doesn't mean argv was passed to the process, it just means that it
will be synthesized for code that expects to have one.  This is optional
by the way.  If you want to write a traditional Win32 app the entrypoint
is WinMain:

#include windows.h
#include stdio.h

int WINAPI
WinMain (HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR lpCmd, int nShow)
{
  puts (Hello world.);
  return 0;
}

You can compile this both with Cygwin and MinGW and it will work fine. 
Note that the parameters passed to the program are nothing like the C
argc/argv.  lpCmd is a pointer to a null terminated string containing
the command line, there is no array of arguments anywhere.

 It's execv that's falling down, not doing it's job.  My arguments
 are already parsed and separated, but the no-cyg version of execv
 is mushing them all back together, while cygwin invokes the
 next program, apparently with quotes of some sort, around the
 contents of each, separate, argv[] string.

It would not be the first time that someone found MSVCRT less than
adequate.  Again, the MinGW project has a convenient set of wrappers for
just this reason.

 Isn't MSVCRT the startup code?

No, it's just the opposite: it is the C library minus the startup code. 
The startup code is linked in with each binary, whereas MSVCRT.DLL is
the common library code.  When you use MinGW (= use -mno-cygwin) you are
using the MinGW project's startup code but everything else is MSVCRT. 
Including execv().

 I don't think it is a MS problem exactly -- it appears to be a
 broken implementation of execv.  When I call execv, the different

And whose implementation of execv() do you think that is exactly?  It's
not Cygwin's.  It's not MinGW's.  It's certainly not gcc's.  It's
Microsoft's.  Again, this is the whole point of MinGW, to use the
existing Microsoft C library of the operating system so that the program
can run without any accompanying libraries.

 I'd say that the no-cyg version of execv isn't maintaining the separation
 

please help: crash on vista

2008-03-17 Thread Giovanni Maruzzelli
Hi Cygwin developers,

I got a repeatable crash using waveInOpen under Vista without SP1
(no SP1 for Italians until April) using cygwin 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-03-05,
on a HP Pavilion m9080 quad core with Realtek HD Audio.

Please, can fellow developers compile the following example and report
if it crashes?

1) As soon as waveInOpen is called, it crashes
2) To cause the crash it is not needed to use the wavein, just to open it.
3) Under XP, no problems.
4) If you compile under vista with -mno-cygwin and execute with a
double click on it, no problem.
5) If you compile using cygwin, and execute it from bash, crashes.

See below a very simple test case.

You can compile it without cygwin and then execute it with a double click:
gcc -mno-cygwin -Wall waveinopen_vista.c -o waveinopen_vista -l winmm

or you can compile it with cygwin and execute it from bash (I got a crash):
gcc -Wall waveinopen_vista.c -o waveinopen_vista -l winmm

That is a glibc header, meaing the program you're trying to build is not
portable and depends on linux-specific features.  Headers with the sys/
prefix tend to mean system-specific so it's generally a bad idea to use
them if you care about portability.

If you want to build it you'll have to either remove the code that needs
that interface or figure out a way to portably achieve the same goal. 
Or you could reimplement the interface in Cygwin, which is what has
happened for a number of linux-specific APIs, but not yet this one.

2008-03-17 Thread Corinna Vinschen
I have updated cygrunsrv to version 1.30-1.

This release introduces the capability to connect to remote servers to
install, start, stop, remove, query, and list services.  The usage is
quite simple.  Use for instance

  $ cygrunsrv -S service

to start a local service called service.  Use

  $ cygrunsrv -S server/service

or

  $ cygrunsrv -S server\\service

to stop a remote service called service on the remote machine called
server.  The server syntax allows to use full qualified domain names
like, for instance

  $ cygrunsrv -S server.example.com/service

This syntax is valid for the following options:

  -I, --install
  -R, --remove
  -S, --start
  -E, --stop
  -Q, --query

The -L, --list option allows to specify just a server name, like, for
instance, this:

  $ cygrunsrv -L server -V
  $ cygrunsrv -L server.example.com -V


If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin@cygwin.com .  I would appreciate if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

It's what will become the next major Cygwin release at one point.

 There is a circa timeframe for its release (I mean: weeks or
 months)? If the snapshot will become the next release I would not need
 to find out the problem ;-).

There's no timeframe other than hopefully this year.

I still don't believe that this problem has anything to do with Vista
vs. Vista SP1.  It's probably something on your machine.  There's no
reason that it should behave differently.

Pity that you didn't reply to my offer to make Cygwin better in relation

Libtool problems when building ImageMagick

2008-03-17 Thread Volker Quetschke

I wanted to prepare a new ImageMagick package, but I am stuck with
the following problem.

It should be easy, its a cygport build with the following files

http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1.cygport
http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1.cygwin.patch
http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1.cygport
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.3.9-8.tar.bz2

The `cygport ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1 prep` works as usual (with the
accordingly adjusted files) but `cygport ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1 compile`
fails with a libtool error like this:


./libtool: line 845: X--tag=CC: command not found
(rest deleted)

See here
http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1-compile.log
for the full logfile.

This does not happen with the ImageMagick 6.3.6-3 release (thanks
Yaakov) but with the latest versions of IM.

The problem in libtool (line 845 and others) is that instead of
echo, $echo is used. So the env. var echo is supposed to be set, but
it didn't happen. Why? I know nearly nothing about libtool, so far
it just worked.

If it helps, my cygcheck output:
http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/cygcheck.log

I would like to release a new IM package, but currently I am stuck.

Re: please help: crash on vista

2008-03-17 Thread Giovanni Maruzzelli
I agree that SP1 probably has little to do.

I have nothing on the machine, just bought it with Vista Premium
preinstalled, disabled Defender, uninstalled Norton with the Norton
Uninstall Tool, installed Cygwin. No single application, utility,
whatever.

With the previous cygwin version waveInOpen was loading too much the
CPU (80%), with the last one crash, with the snapshot runs perfect.

BTW, I explored today the /dev/dsp stuff, and the oss like programming
on Cygwin. It works for me with the snapshot, but with the last
released Cygwin, it crashes.

I don't think it's a problem with echo per se, it's a mismatch of
libtool versions.  ImageMagick seems to ship with a bleeding edge
version of libtool bundled in m4/.  However when cygautoreconf runs
autoreconf (which in turn runs libtoolize --copy --force --ltdl) the
libtoolize from the current Cygwin package (1.5.25a-1) is what is run
and it seems to update only the config/ltmain.sh, in essence downgrading
it but leaving the bleeding edge version of m4/libtool.m4 untouched.  So
you end up with a ltmain.sh from 1.5 and a libtool.m4 from 2.3a, and
they disagree on things like how to do handle echo apparently.

Anyway, since this bundled libtool looks like it's very recent it
doesn't make sense to try to forcibly autoreconf it to something older,
as cygautoreconf seems to want to run autoreconf --force.  Normally
autoreconf would only run libtoolize if it looks like something needs
updating.  So I guess what I'm saying is just remove cygautoreconf from
your cygport, or if it's needed for some reason, don't run --force.

  One thing that might help is if you could get a copy of /proc/PID/maps
during one of the test runs that goes wrong (might be hard to get for the
crashing case, should be plenty of time for the case when it's taking 80%
cpu), it might give us a clue about any interference from other applications
that may be injecting DLLs into cygwin processes.

Strange pthread_atfork() behavior

2008-03-17 Thread Alon Bar-Lev

Hello,

Please CC my as I am not subscribed.

Just notice a difference between Linux and cygwin, hope
someone will be able to figure it out.

When running this program on Linux I get expected behavior.

When running under cygwin the exec program runs after about 60 seconds.
The following is the output:

__atfork_prepare
__atfork_parent
before sleep
__atfork_child
after sleep
parent is not running anymore
wait about 60 seconds
  56 [main] a 2952 sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, signal 
-34, rc 258, Win32 error 0 at child
child output

Any clue?

Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.

Re: Building perl-5.10.0

On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 9:05 AM, Sisyphus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi,
 I thought I might build perl-5.10.0, so I downloaded the perl source into
 the ~/comp directory, switched to the top level source directory and ran:

 sh configure -de -Duse64bitint -Dprefix=~/myperl

 That seemed to run ok - so I then ran 'make'. That process runs for a while
 but terminates with the following error:

 ---
Making DynaLoader (static_pic)

 ERROR: Can't create '../../lib/auto'

  at -e line 1
 

 I find that somewhat confusing. For a start, I find that '../../lib/auto'
 exists - so either it *was* succesfully created, or there was no need to
 create it anyway. (At least, `/home/Rob/comp/perl-5.10.0/lib/auto' exists -
 and, by my reckoning, that equates to '../../lib/auto'.)

 As for not having write permissions on '/', what directory is that referring
 to ?

Same issue here. On Vista, with UAC enabled, I used the packaged perl
5.10 and Tk and tried to install Devel::ptkdb with cpan. No dice.
Tried to do it manually via

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

At make, I got this:

Why is / set to 000???

Well after a bit of googling around, the answer is this:

1) In a Windows cmd command prompt, cd where your cygwin lives - mine
is at c:\opt\cygwin
2) cd ..
3) attrib -r cywgin - that removed the read-only bit. Don't try it in
Windows Explorer; it does not stick
4) Then in a Cygwin window, cd /
5) chmod 777 .

Now, you should be set. I did the install and got no 'cannot write to /' errors.

Enjoy


 Interestingly, Google turns up a very similar case (
 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/03/msg121921.html )
 but that relates to buildng bleadperl on SuSE 64 ... and no resolution is
 given.

 There's no such problem with building perl-5.8.8 from source (using the
 exact same configure command). The first time I ran it 'make' terminated
 after a few minutes because ~/myperl/bin didn't already exist, so I simply
 created that directory, re-ran 'make' and all then proceeded smoothly. (I
 didn't go to the bother of running 'make test'.)

 Cheers,
 Rob

gmp/mpfr status

I've been building gcc 4.3 and 4.4 with mpfr upgraded to 2.3.1, taking the 
gmp provided by cygwin.  gcc build doesn't complain about mpfr 2.3.0 until 
you get to a few testsuite failures, but there seems no point in using 
less than 2.3.1.

The timeline is whenever the mpfr maintainer gets to it.
