[Bug] Named Pipes (FIFO) / Bash
I'm having problems with some bash scripts that were developed (not be me) and working OK in Cygwin 1.6.x versions, but not in 1.7.x (tested on 1.7.6, 1.7.7 and the latest snapshot). After some gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair I've whittled it down to a problem with named pipe handling in bash. Sifting through the archives of the mailing lists didn't provide much clues. I realize from earlier discussions that named pipes aren't fully supported, but some examples of programs and scripts seem to indicate that they should at least work on a basic level. I've tried both the current and the just announced experimental version of bash and both Windows7/CoreDuo and WinXP/TurionX2 (I don't think the dual cores have something to do with the problem, but if necessary I should be able to at least boot the WinXP machine with only a single core enabled). $ mkfifo /tmp/pipe $ ( sleep 10; echo -n blafasel ; date; sleep 10; cat /tmp/pipe ) $ echo -n dingdong ; date; exec 6 /tmp/pipe; echo -n blumblum ; date $ echo -n hurrdurr 6; date Running this on Linux outputs as expected: dingdong Sa 22. Jan 20:41:45 CET 2011 blafasel Sa 22. Jan 20:41:55 CET 2011 blumblum Sa 22. Jan 20:42:05 CET 2011 hurrdurr Sa 22. Jan 20:42:05 CET 2011 On Cygwin, I get this: dingdong Sa 22. Jan 20:41:45 CET 2011 blumblum Sa 22. Jan 20:41:45 CET 2011 blafasel Sa 22. Jan 20:41:55 CET 2011 cat: -: Communication error on send In other words, opening the pipe is non-blocking, even though no listener is present. Listing /proc/self/fd lists fd 6 as opened to FIFO /tmp/pipe, but any output to it blocks indefinitely. I believe that the FIFO has in fact never been opened as far as the system is concerned. The output then blocks on the apparently not-open FIFO (I should be getting a SIGPIPE instead when trying to write into a pipe that has no listener). Note: Looking at the problematic scripts I realize that the opening of the FIFO must have been non-blocking in 1.6.x as well, but the output was just blocked until the listener became available. The last message goes away if I replace the cat with simply cat (this seems to be a separate bug in redirection handling of named pipes which I could easily work around), but the shell still hangs up hard. A ps in another shell shows that bash is waiting for output and cat is waiting for input. I can then, however, write into the pipe from a second shell and have the ouput appear in the tty of the first. If I reverse the course of things and let the cat out first, so to speak, then (and only then) everything works in a single shell. This however requires the very serialization that the named pipe was supposed to provide. I'd be grateful for any insights and/or ideas for possible workarounds.

Named pipes are still an incomplete implementation, and until patches are written to get it working more like posix, you can't expect them to work reliably. I said I knew that it wasn't working like POSIX pipes. Now, there's clearly a regression from 1.6-1.7. Before they just weren't working like POSIX pipes, but now they seem to be completely unuseable for synchronisation purposes. Sorry, I don't have any. Autoconf is another client that would love to use named pipes (for parallel testsuites), but which can't do so until cygwin's implementation is completed. So, are you saying there's a development plan to get there, or not? :-) Achim. -- +[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]+ Wavetables for the Waldorf Blofeld: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#BlofeldUserWavetables -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I'd be grateful for any insights and/or ideas for possible workarounds. Could anybody please comment if there are changes to the whole area of (named) pipes in the upcoming 1.7.8 release? Should I just grab the latest snapshot and try my luck? I don't mind if it's not POSIX compliant if at least consistent synchronization can be achieved that does not depend on the order of consumers and producers connecting to the pipe (like it did on Cygwin 1.6).

Unfortunately the comment doesn't contain any hint as to what exact problem this code is trying to workaround. Apologies if that's obvious and you've already checked that: emacs gets created as a dumpfile of temacs during build, so if peflags moves the heap retroactively thereafter I can't see how it's going to work since part of the heap is where it was during dumping and the rest is, well, somewhere else. I'd look at the build process first before suspecting the sources — I would assume that temacs must also be made large address aware and that it right now just isn't. There may still be workarounds that aren't needed anymore and bad assumptions about how the memory map looks like in Cygwin.

I've checked again with the latest snapshot (2011-08-03), after doing a full update and rebaseall. While the FIFO implementation still does not conform to POSIX w.r.t. blocking, it now gives consistent results again (as it was in Cygwin 1.5), does not block listeners indefinitely anymore and kills a listener with SIGPIPE when the producer goes away. So if the scripts are written to assume that behaviour, you can again use FIFO to synchronize processes.

Yaakov (Cygwin/X) yselkow...@users.sourceforge.net writes: Thank you for reinforcing my point. No, thank you for all your work, because without that we couldn't have this discussion. While we certainly promote the Cygwin/X server, forcing xorg-server/xinit as a dependency not only won't prevent questions (since the user still needs to *start* the X server), but those who use other X servers will have this very complaint. Note: I'm not opposed to give a stronger hint to folks who might not know what an X server is and why they need one. If they don't follow up on that hint it becomes their problem, but you can't reasonably expect someone to look for an answer to a question they don't even have. As long as setup.exe doesn't handle recommendations, how about having an (empty) package X-application (or whatever better name you come up with) that all such applications depend on? I'm still not sure how to get the actual warning to the user, but for starters the postinstall script could fail when it doesn't find the Cygwin X server and leave a file that cygcheck looks for otherwise. If that file is missing I'll get an INCOMPLETE package in cygcheck. If I have an install using an external X server, I can create that file and have clean cygcheck output (and getting the postinstall marked done). Now please excuse me while I get back to orchestrating the next major transition for the distro. Thanks again.

cygport/setup questions
I'm in the process of preparing an update for our aging Cygwin installation at work. The basic (unattended) install is now working even if it needs some more testing. I will have to patch a few applications, install many more packages from CPAN and somehow customize the installation as a last step. So I guess it makes sense to have a local package repository in addition to the mirrors. I am planning to use cygport for creating the local packages, but I'm having a few questions: 1. Is there some way to specify CPAN bundles rather than individual packages in the .cygport file? I don't mind if I'll get a tar.bz for each package the bundle pulls in, I just want to limit the number of packages visible during setup. 2. How should I name a package that I patch locally? Can I use a non-numerical RELEASE, I'd like to avoid name clashes between the patched package and later official releases. For the patch itself, I just edit the sources, that cygport is going to build from. Do I have to (re-)generate the src.patch before each build or is cygport doing that by itself? 3. How can I make sure that local customizations are always done after all real package installs? It seems there is a hidden category _PostInstallLast that may or may not do that. Also, I might need to control the order of post-install scripts, they seem to be run in alphabetical order, can I rely on that? 4. From the testing results so far, I will always have to do a rebaseall and perlrebase. Can I do this from setup.exe (after customization) or does it have to be a separate process after setup.exe has finished? Thanks in advance for any answers.

I don't mind if I'll get a tar.bz for each package the bundle pulls in, I just want to limit the number of packages visible during setup. Not simply. A CPAN bundle doesn't contain more than a pod file; it relies on CPAN to install whatever modules it requires. There is also no guarantee that a given module is not a member of more than one bundle, which would result in file clobbering, and setup.exe does not handle that gracefully. OK, so I just have to mass-generate a load of cygport packages and then maybe bundle them into an umbrella package with no content of its own, but make that dependent on all the others so I don't have to specify all of them for installation. Fair enough, just not as easy as I hoped. If you just want to make it easier for users to install a CPAN bundle, I suggest packaging each module individually, then have the bundle package depend on the other modules. Most users will never see the chooser window anyway, so it's probably OK either way. 2. How should I name a package that I patch locally? Can I use a non-numerical RELEASE, I'd like to avoid name clashes between the patched package and later official releases. IIRC, release must begin with a digit. Perhaps a 0.x release number would work, I haven't tried it. I've had to try it today, and it seems that appending something alphanumeric (like -2p1 for the first patch on release 2) is OK with setup.exe (don't know yet what genini thinks of that, though). For the patch itself, I just edit the sources, that cygport is going to build from. Do I have to (re-)generate the src.patch before each build or is cygport doing that by itself? Once I've created a patch, I copy that patch alongside the .cygport, give it a meaningful name, then add it to PATCH_URI. That makes it easier to carry the patch forward from one version/release to another. You've lost me here, where does that PATCH_URI you are talking about belong? The packages I've looked at had at most two patch files (for the source and for cygwin specific additions) that are seemingly used automagically. Not that I looked at a lot of packages... 3. How can I make sure that local customizations are always done after all real package installs? It seems there is a hidden category _PostInstallLast that may or may not do that. Also, I might need to control the order of post-install scripts, they seem to be run in alphabetical order, can I rely on that? What local customizations do you want? Not sure yet, but basically anything that can't be solved by simply dropping a file in the right place and that isn't associated directly with a package being installed or de-installed. 4. From the testing results so far, I will always have to do a rebaseall and perlrebase. Can I do this from setup.exe (after customization) or does it have to be a separate process after setup.exe has finished? The eventual goal is to integrate this into setup.exe, but currently these need to be run manually after installation/update. I think I can fake it with the current setup.exe (I already install the snapshots this way).

[bug] Something fishy going on with sqlite3...
I've been trying to troubleshoot an SQLite failure that boils down to this: SQLite catches an access denied error when trying to create a _temporary_ table and only when sqlite3 is run from mintty.

I currently work around by compiling SQLite to use only memory and nver a file for temporary tables, but it seems that there may be a larger problem lurking here.

I didn't see that when I run it in mintty. But I've now tested pragme TEMP_STORE=x and creation of temporary tables fails unless x=2 (memory), without tracing the program.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: _autorebase. Call rebaseall after installing new or updated DLLs
Corinna Vinschen writes: I've added a new package called _autorebase to the Cygwin distro. This package is usually installed and updated automatically. In the default view of setup.exe you won't even see it. Thank you very much (even though I'd just added the same functionality to my setup batch script). Minor nit: rebaseall picks up a file with the suffix .osc in the texmf tree that isn't actually a DLL. The purpose of this package is to run rebaseall automatically after any package containing DLLs is updated. How is that supposed to work, exactly? There seems to be only a single package having _autorebase as a dependency and the _autorebase.bat file has been renamed .done after the first installation. Also, I think it would be nicer in the long run to have an /etc/autorebase.d/ that can be used to drop DLL lists in there that work together with the -T option of rebase. That way, packages would ultimately become responsible for listing their rebaseable files and users (administrators) could drop list with additional DLL that got installed without setup.exe. As long as packages haven't been updated to provide those lists, the names could be extracted from /etc/setup, like they are currently (I think).

(If you're wondering why I haven't responded to this thread before
now, it's because this is the first post to the thread that told me
there was a problem with the package.)
I wasn't sure either where the problem was. This particular feature
has been in SQLite forever and on of my colleagues just tells me he's
been bitten by it many years before. The conditions for it to occur
are apparently sufficiently narrow to not bother most folks. To
summarize (and hopefully for others to reproduce by now), all of the
following conditions must hold for the error to trigger:
1. The user running SQLite must not have administrative rights.
2. SQLite must not be run from a Windows console, but in mintty.
(I didn't test other terminals).
3. SQLite needs to be told to open a TEMPORARY database _and_ put it to disk.
This will get you Error: unable to open database file. If you build
SQLite with debugging switched on, it will actually tell you a quite
different story:
assertion isDelete==0 || isCreate failed: file
/usr/src/sqlite3-3.7.3-1p1/src/sqlite-3.7.3/sqlite3.c, line 31496,
function: winOpen Abort (core dumped)
The clue here is that it tried to use a Windows interface to open the
file, not a Cygwin one, which got me on the right track.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Cygwin 1.7.12
Corinna Vinschen writes: The weird home dir could be a bug in Cygwin. I can't reproduce it, but I could think of a reason. Do you have a directory called /mnt/userdata or an account called userdata in /etc/passwd? Anyway, I applied a patch which should result in: No account there with the name userdata, but there was an empty directory named /mnt/userdata. I've deleted it since the mountpoint will work without it, let's see if the issue comes up again. $ cd ~\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\? : No such file or directory. I ended up in /mnt/userdata, but the really interesting issue was if I would then cd into All Users for instance, the prompt would show: ~\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\/All Users I had to do a 'cd ~otheruser' to a user that has a home dir in passwd before tcsh forgot about that association, IIRC. I can test that again if it is of any importance. As you know, Cygwin has to map between Windows SID and POSIX uid/gid when mapping user accounts. That's what /etc/passwd and /etc/group are for. If a file belongs to a user for which there's no entry in /etc/passwd (same for group - /etc/group), then the uid is set to -1. ls then prints somthing like this: [...] I don't have any problems with the question marks showing up in directory listings, I would just prefer if a user that has no home directory set in /etc/passwd is not offered as an expansion for '~'. But as there are likely more important problems to solve, if things stay as they arethis is also OK.

Gmane still has cygwin-apps read-only, so I hope it is acceptable if I post it
here until that is resolved... what I have implemented is to extract the list
of files to rebase into /etc/rebase/rebase_lst just like rebaseall would do.
Any extra files to rebase can be placed into list(s) in /etc/rebase/user.d (e.g.
perl5.10.1.lst as produced by perlrebase). Instead of rebuilding the whole list
every time, just extract from those package lists that are newer than the
rebase_lst. The update will be very fast even on systems which are struck by a
slow filesystem (in contrast to the initial build of the list, which is in
essence what the current autorebase script _always_ does).

chmod 444 ${g}
}
Suffixes='dll|so|oct'

---8-8---
The two directories in /etc and the /bin/rebaselst script are dropped in via a
package. In the installer script I then do something like that:
%CYGWIN_INST%\bin\ash -c PATH=/bin cd /etc/rebase/user.d/bin/perlrebase
%CYGWIN_INST%\bin\ash -c PATH=/bin rebaselst
%CYGWIN_INST%\bin\ash -c PATH=/bin rebase -s -v -T /etc/rebase/rebase_lst
I'll probably roll this into another script, but for now this seems to work
nicely enough.

Re: peflags warning and tsaware flags
Corinna Vinschen writes: The warning might be a bit misleading. What it really tries to tell you is that the file in question is not an executable (*.exe). The tsaware flag has no meaning for DLLs, it's only evaluated in headers of executables. That explains a lot more than that warning message, thank you. The reason that many DLLs in the distro have the tsaware flag set is because gcc doesn't differ between creating executables or DLLs, it will add the flag unconditionally. So, nobody keeps you from adding the tsaware flag to all DLLs, but it will neither help nor hurt. So DLL and other dynamic objects should not have it set (even though it doesn't hurt), while true executables should have it to run umimpeded on a terminal server? Or are there Cygwin applications that should not have that flag set?

how to drop administrator privileges?
I've recently had a test fail because I started it with administrator privileges (via the Administrator group). The test tried to write to a file that it set read-only before and of course as an administrator it was still able to write to it. So the test fail wasn't really that important, but I can't seem to find a way to drop administrator privileges once I have a shell opened with run as administrator. Is there a command that will shed those rights for a sub-shell?

bad performance when opening many files on Win7
I've seen major performance regressions on Win7 compared to an pre-1.7 Cygwin version on Win2000. I had initially suspected the virus scanner and disabling the real-time scan for the whole Cygwin folder did improve things appreciably. However the real performance hit when an application opens or even just stats many files in succession (like Perl is prone to at startup when it scans @INC) is still there. Superficially it looks like you get 100% load on one CPU and the application is busy, but perfmon tells you that the application sits on its thumbs and the CPU is eaten by lsass.exe (which doesn't have any file open or any network connection). Eventually the application starts doing what it is supposed to do, but lsass continues to eat CPU for a few minutes. I'm not even sure there's if it only happens for Cygwin applications, but for those I can reliably reproduce it. When I time the application in Cygwin, I get something like less than a second user time and over two minutes core time. If someone has seen something like that and maybe there is some setup that I can tweak to avoid this it would be great to know.

Otherwise I'm getting errors like these: Attempt to reload LWP/Protocol/http.pm aborted. Compilation failed in require at (eval 7) line 2. I could not repro this. I built HTTP::Status just fine. I'll think about it. The build goes OK as well as the install. It is when I then use it from a very simple script (just perl -e 'require LWP qw( $ua request );' is enough actually) that things fall apart. Or trying to do the next build with cpan(m) which fails unless you let it fall back to curl or wget. I first thought the reason for this was that some parts were in site_per and the others in vendor_perl, but even when I symlinked the two the issue was not going away. Lastly, I'd much prefer if the vendor modules would be separate entities to install, this would make it easier to keep proper dependencies among them. I will re-build all these modules plus some 150 more with cygport anyway (provided I don't hit a roadblock), so once that works I could send you the perl-*.cygport files. Sorry, too much manual work. Tell me about it, that's why I've scripted it. Give it a list of module names and it gives you back the cygport files and initial setup.hint for each, with dependencies for build and install. For most modules that's all that was needed, but a handful did need patches, either because they needed extra configuration or tried to run manual tests. I rather prefer only one single dependency and update step than 150. If all machines this installation is going to had internet access than cpanm would do the job, but I'll have to be able to install onto isolated machines. Anyway, I can understand if you're not wanting to go there, I can just not install perl_vendor and drop in a bundle package that pulls in the individual modules (or rather distributions, since cygport builds on them).

Re: bad performance when opening many files on Win7
Corinna Vinschen writes: How did you do that? The ACLs in the Cygwin default dirs are supposed to contain only three ACEs, one for the installing user, one for the local admin group, and one for everyone. At least that's how setup.exe installs them. These are inherited from the settings in C:\, AFAIK (the list is extracted from the output of icacls for each file in /usr/bin). I have another test installation that may differ in minor details since it hasn't been in use for many years, but in principle the output of icacls looks the same for both. I can remove the test installation and install it completely fresh if there's hope to get this problem resolved. Btw., my machine and my account are domain members as well. Obviously all entries in /usr/bin have an Everyone ACE. My ls -l takes only about 1.2 secs with 2200 entries in /usr/bin. Running ls is considerably faster on my machine as well (but probably not under 3 seconds, that machine has a slow disk and that it is almost full doesn't really help, even with regular defragmentation). One application that shows the behviour I'm talking(*) about is pod2html, and it finishes in almost no time when I simply remove bin from the podpath argument. If it makes a difference, I am running this as administrator under Win7 Pro/32 (but presumably the same or a very similar problem happens when a colleague of mine runs some scripts on his machine as normal user). The whole hierarchy that Cygwin is installed into is excluded from being real-time-checked by the virus scanner and that seems to be working as it gets another 2-3 times slower if I remove that exclusion. (*) lsass.exe consumes one of the two cores completely, there is absolutely no network activity and not much disk activity except at the very beginning (which I assume is where the stat is collected).

I still don't know what caused it, but maybe you could review the compiler settings you used and/or simply rebuild the perl-vendor package before release. One problem that remains is that perl-OpenGL will sometimes crash when it checks the server capabilities (it did that before IIRC, but now does more often). With the new X server from a few days ago it reliably crashes the rootless/multiwindow configuration with a really hairy backtrace, but rooted X is still OK. I think that the threadedness of the new perl might come into play here. There were a few residual test fails that might be related to fork failures, I'll run the tests again when the packages are properly installed and all DLL rebased, but there were no issues that were noticeably worse than with 5.10. I found out today that perl-Tk from the 5.10 version won't work since the architecture has changed from i686-cygwin to i686-cygwin-threaded-int64, so I'll have to re-package that one too, which brings the number of perl-* packages to exactly 200 (I've built another 40 or so locally for building and testing, but I'll probably not package them all - at least not now).

[BUG] lftp 4.3.6
There is an insidious bug that affects at least lftp on the latest
cygwin snapshot as well as the 1.7.15 release. Prepare and run an lftp
script like this:
perl -e 'foreach (1..100){' \
-e 'print ls -r file:/, ' \
-e '(map {$_x10. /}(a..z)), \n}' \
test.lftp
lftp -f test.lftp | grep -v ls:
Observe that lftp splits the commands at a 4kiB boundary (a read
buffer?) and gives an error on the part over in the next buffer as if
the buffer boundary had been an EOL (which also means that it tried to
execute the incomplete command).
Now, the script I've shown above is harmless and in fact doesn't do
anything. I haven't been so lucky, in my case the script got cut
exactly after an
rm -r /cygdrive/c
In the past I've cursed the disk in my computer at work for being so
slow, but today I was glad that it wasn't zippy. Still, the rest of the
day I've had to clean up the damage.
Under Linux i can't get lftp 4.3.3 to misbehave in the same manner even
with much larger command lines and files, so it is either something
introduced with a newer version of lftp or unique to lftp on Cygwin.
Regards,
Achim.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lftp-4.3.7-1
Andrew Schulman writes: A new version of lftp, 4.3.7-1, is now available in the Cygwin distribution. This is a new upstream release, that fixes a few bugs since the previous Cygwin release, version 4.3.6-1. You can read the full changelog at http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html. Thank you very much, Andrew. Since the changelog is unfortunately not very specific on what got fixed: lftp versions 4.3.4, 4.3.5 and 4.3.6 have a bug in script execution (lftp -f file) that affects all scripts larger than 4096 bytes (the size of an internal buffer in lftp) and multiples thereof. This bug has the proven potential to produce data-loss, so if you use one of those versions you should either be sure that you never use scripts larger than 4096 bytes or use an earlier or later version.

Re: [RFU] SQlite3
Warren Young writes: Thanks, Achim. See my RFU message on the -apps list if you want to try the packages in advance of them hitting the mirrors. I tried them and they are OK. :-) I changed your .cygport file considerably. Partly that's just style issues, but it also has to do with my build procedure. It goes without saying that I have no objections. You might be interested: the attached cygport-new script makes creating a new version pretty easy: 1. Put my sqlite3.cygport file and src.patch in a work directory. 2. Run 'cygport-new 3.7.12.1'. It assumes -1 if you don't give a package revision number. 3. If nothing changed incompatibly, you're done; upload and send RFU message. Else, fix the problem and goto 2. Thanks for sharing this. Then for each new release you want to package, you try starting with step 2, passing the new version number. If that fails, you usually have to go back to step 1 and edit the .cygport or .patch file. You're welcome to take these tools and maintainership of the package. The only reason I maintain it is that its previous maintainer went MIA and it was going to be dropped from the distro; I rescued it purely because I knew what sqlite was and had some idea how to build and test it. I don't actually use it on Cygwin like you do[*], so I'm not well motivated to keep it up to date. I mainly react to bug reports like yours. And as you see, not always promptly. :) I really appreciate what you're doing and I won't complain about any reponse times. [*] I mainly use sqlite3 on other platforms, and then via other software that happens to use it. Firefox, lots of stuff on OS X, Adobe Flex and Lightroom... I'm in the same shoes currently, trying to get together a new Cygwin install at our company. Currently I can't take over anything, but I'm sitting on 225 CPAN distribution packages. If maybe I should end up maintaining some or all of them, adding sqlite3 to that stack would be possible. I'll keep it in mind...

Re: Performance problems with emacs-X11 in current cygwin
Ken Brown writes: As I said earlier, I don't understand very well how git branches work, but I *think* this means we have to look in the 2-32 branch, prior to the 2.31.0 tag, to find the problematic commit. I've checked out the 2-32 branch, and I guess the next step is to find a problem-free revision of that branch, and then bisect between it and the 2.31.0 tag. I'm in the process of reading the git documentation to figure out how to do that, but I wouldn't object if someone would save me some time by giving me the appropriate git commands. I've had a quick look at how the GNOME folks use their release branches: they are tagged in master and then only some version bumping and a few quickfixes. There are no odd numbered releases, so I assume they start the disruptive changes right after a release, tag the unstable version in master with an odd number and then work out the kinks until the new release is done. So, you can indeed start on the 2.32 branch and then bisect down to the 2.30 tag. Don't bother with the run-up between 2.31 and 2.32, just bisect it whole, the bisect sequence will be just one build longer if at all. git checkout glib-2-32 git bisect start bad git bisect good 2.30.3 If any of the intermediate versions doesn't build, say git bisect skip with the offending commit still checked out.

Re: cygwin 1.7.15: svn disk I/O error

But getting back to SQLite, backing out the changes in the build would get us back a different bug. So it would be very interesting if you could debug where it hits that roadblock in svn.

Re: cygwin 1.7.15: svn disk I/O error
Warren Young writes: Note that SQLite isn't really designed for concurrent access to the database file from a different process. There is a paucity of truth in that statement. So let me re-formulate that sentence: concurrent access ultimately relies on the file locking provided by the OS. The concurrency support in SQLite is simply to not keep state outside a critical section and lock the database file exclusively when entering one. But, there's only so much SQLite can do to cooperate with the OS's locking strategy. On POSIX systems where SQLite was born, locking is mostly advisory and cooperative, whereas Windows gives you mandatory locks by default in a lot of cases. Mandatory locks allow one process (e.g. TortoiseSVN) to deny another (e.g. Cygwin svn) the ability to change a file, indefinitely. Cygwin should (and apparently does) abstract away that difference. But it seems that the locking strategy might be slightly different between Win32 and POSIX, triggering a foray into that disk I/O error branch. There may still be a bug some place else, i.e. it may get a timeout rather than a file locked state. I'll have a look when I find some time.

Re: /bin and /lib mount points occasionally lost
richw writes: I believe what needs to be studied is why an access from a remote system to an nfs file system before opening a bash prompt causes the automatic mount of /usr/bin and /usr/lib to be skipped. With the most likely problem apparently out of the way, let's look at the second: when you access the NFS export, three daemons get started (mountd, nfsd and portmap) under their own account (apparently .\nfs?). Those should see the following mount points according to cygcheck3.out: C:\cygwin/ system binary,auto C:\cygwin\bin/usr/bin system binary,auto C:\cygwin\lib/usr/lib system binary,auto cygdrive prefix /cygdrive userbinary,auto and since they appear to be working correctly (but check the logfiles) one can assume that these mounts are present. When you run bash before starting the daemons you said you see these mounts instead: C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,user) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,user) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) So there must be an fstab entry that changes /usr/bin and /usr/lib to user mounts.

It could be worth a try. When you run bash before starting the daemons you said you see these mounts instead: I goofed, and didn't initially notice the difference between (user) and (auto) in the mount command response. When I do the mount manually to correct for the missing mount, it shows (user). Do the mounts resurrect correctly via mount -a? When I reboot and run bash first, I see (auto) as expected. /etc/fstab is empty (except for comments), as is /etc/fstab.d Do you get things back to working state by closing all Cygwin applications, then stopping all Cygwin services and then starting bash?

I was surprised that I could not mount /usr/bin, but I could mount /bin. (Is that correct? Why?) It probably means that /usr/lib and /usr/bin aren't mounted as far as the daemon is concerned. You can mount /bin since it is a subtree of / (you should also be able to mount /etc if that hypothesis holds true). I think that something in the registry is amiss, more specifically if you log in as yourself you will see the correct built-in mount table in HKCU and Cygwin mounts them, but if the service user logs in it doesn't. You only seem to have a system installation key, whereas my cygwin has both a system and user key. Then when you later start bash Cygwin already thinks it has everything mounted when it hasn't. I suspect you did install Cygwin only for Just Me instead of All Users. If so, that is fixed by running setup again and change this option to All Users. If that's not the reason, the quick fix would be to just provide the standard mount points in /etc/fstab and then figure out what's going wrong with the registry later.

Re: cygwin 1.7.15: svn disk I/O error
David Rothenberger writes: The cygport file should check for all required build dependencies. If you find one missing, please let me know. I'm not near my work machine, so this is from memory... the test suite requires perl modules I didn't have installed and fails most perl tests without them — not too worried about this, will install those later this week. Also, the requires check for Berkeley-DB 4.2 and 4.5, but only 4.5 and 4.8 are currently offered by Cygwin. I've had to comment out the Apache module build since the mod_dav.la was nowhere to be found and no Cygwin package provides it. David Rothenberger, I'd appreciate if you could try to do another build of svn and tell us if there are any test regressions w.r.t to your last build. The point of the rebuild is to see if building against the latest sqlite3 package fixes the problem? Either that or maybe whether the testsuite that comes with svn confirms the problem and thus delivers a debuggable testcase. I can do a rebuild in the next few days. However, I have not been able to get the test suite to run fully for quite a while due to rebase problems. The ephemeral rebase option I posted patches for in cygwin-apps should help with that. Since I should have the same problem, I'll see that I can adapt the cygport file to use it. Many tests use triggers and these often encounter fork failures. I have never seen a SQLite error message in the test failures, but I also don't have TortoiseSVN installed. (I removed it long ago when the icon cache caused me problems.) If you still have a test log it might prove helpful. I'm not sure that me running the test suite will prove much, so I'll make the rebuild available as a test release in case someone that was experiencing the problem would like to try it out. Thanks, that should help as well if the OP could check if it makes any difference.

The fail is not due to a module missing, but due to the perl dynaloader not being able to load the DLL produced by the build. The error message is not helpful as there's no reason given for why it couldn't load the DLL. The file exists and is readable /executable. However, LDD gives strange output: # ldd subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/blib/arch/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.dll ntdll.dll = /cygdrive/c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x772e) kernel32.dll = /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/kernel32.dll (0x75c6) KERNELBASE.dll = /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x756b) ??? = ???

(0x754a) I've had to comment out the Apache module build since the mod_dav.la was nowhere to be found and no Cygwin package provides it. Even with the changes to the build config by Yaakov trying to build the Apache module fails for me, now with unresolved symbols of the form _dav_*. I've built without mod_dav to work around that. The ephemeral rebase option I posted patches for in cygwin-apps should help with that. Since I should have the same problem, I'll see that I can adapt the cygport file to use it. Rebasing does help. Failing Perl tests aside (which never start due to the issue outlined above), all further tests so far are pass. Judging from the current progress, I'd think tests will run at least for two more hours.

The only swig wrappers that work for me are those for Python. Both Ruby and Perl seem to die on those strangely non-functional DLL the build has produced. Ruby had an additional problem: it was looking for the libraries in a directory .ext, but the build put them into .libs. A symlinked fixed that, but then the DLL could not be loaded anyway... Yaakov's changes worked for me. Yes, there must be some difference in how the build got configured. Anyway, it seems that your new build will be available much faster than any attempt by me to find and fix those differences. Anyway, I'll have a new release available shortly built against the latest SQLite package, so others that want to use TortoiseSVN can try it. Thank you.

(0x77) Hmm. This is an installed version of the same library, not the one from the build directory... note also that I build for Perl 5.14 in case that makes a difference. Looking at the addresses from my library I know where cygwin1.dll is and it is already in a different place. I could look up all the other libraries in the rebase database to find what they are. I have no idea what the unresolved addresses above 0x7000 are and I see you also have one of these, so maybe this is normal. Anyway, I still don't know when and why ldd decides to show you ??? and if that relates to the problem with DynaLoader. Any way, I think those ??? are a red herring, I've built on my home machine and there it works, even though I have those ??? entries as well (albeit in total much less lines, but this is a Win7/64 machine vs. Win7/32bit at work and perl 5.10). I was still missing a -devel package. Once installed, the Apache modules build and, more importantly link. Which -devel package was missing? cygport should have warned you about missing build dependencies. I updated some other packages (libserf) as well, so I don't know which one it was exactly, but I think it might have been openldap-devel. Interestingly enough it was the linking step that failed, not the compilation, so the header files must already have been present via some other package. Gnome-keyring requires pkg-config during the configure step, not requested by the cygport file. Ruby tests are still failing because it looks for the extension libraries in a different directory than where they really are.

Warren Young writes: Now, if somebody could find out _where_ in SQLite it fails... Is it not true that you're the only one in many years of SQLite's availability in Cygwin who wanted it compiled the way it currently is? Well yes, since one couldn't use temporary databases unless you have administrator rights. There may be a fix of this going through the Win32 interfaces as it were, but if there is, it's not easily spottable. Since everyone else was apparently happy with it the way it was, and the new way is causing problems, I'd say it's up to you to find the fix before I give up and release the next version with the compilation changes reverted. This is what I expect you to do and hence the frowny — yet another package that I have to locally patch. I can't easily test this myself since I don't have TortoiseSVN installed and as I said there's too many places where the error messages could come from, so I'm still hoping that someone can point to where exactly it's croaking in interaction with TortoiseSVN. Put another way: I have two parties of users, both of whom claim SQLite is giving them problems, one a group of size=1, and the other group somewhat larger. I understand.

The source package for -4 includes it automatically. Yes, I worked from the -4 package on one machine and the -3 package on the other. There was a problem with the openldap-devel package at one point; it was missing lots of things. I had to reinstall it to get the libraries. Then it was almost certainly this package, which is properly requested by the .cygport file. The tests work for me, but I've never been able to get them to work without first installing the newly built packages. The last time I did this, I did: 1. Do cygport *.cygport almostall 2. Install the packages. 3. Rebase the dll and so files in */build and */inst 4. Do cygport *.cygport check All the tests passed except for a Ruby test (it appeared the output came in a different order than expected) and a few Perl tests (it couldn't delete a temporary directory).

Re: Unable to install LWP

You can just build without the test, change into the build directory and rebase manually, then do the install. You can also force the installation even though the test will fail. You will still have to rebase the newly installed objects after installation.
