Would it be a good idea for the setup.hint file to have something along the lines of: Maintainer: John Morrison Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? This would allow folks to email the maintainer directly without having to bug the list. For example, I didn't know that Corinna was the maintainer of the 'which' package. Just an idea.

Re: Contribution Package Proposal: JASSPA's MicroEmacs
Thanks for the information. So where can I find out information about the soon to be released features of setup.exe ??

If we're going to include an emacs, I'd prefer one that is completely free (speech) like FSF Emacs or XEmacs.

In the code, or the Change Log or the README. I assume that the setup.hint will be extended to include an HTTP or FTP URL as opposed to the automatically generated mirror file name ?? (guess). No. Setup will always contain relative URL's in setup.ini, and thus setup.hint. Don't debate this - think about how mirroring works instead. End users can use multiple mirror sites and setup will retrieve packages only from the sites that have them though - so if you want to add packages into the userlist, just create a setup.ini and publish the URL to that for folk to use.

RE: src/winsup/w32api ChangeLog include/wingdi.h
Robert. I know your intentions were good, but please there is no need to submit to the patch tracker page at mingw SourceForge site as well. That is for submission of new patches needing review. Unless you make clear that you have comitted this patch to winsup CVS, it may lead to someone else (like myself) checking in your patch to the SourceForge CVS (perhaps modified) leading to conflicts at merging. Ok. So does this sound right: If I commit to cygwin, don't submit to sourceforge, if I don't checkin myself, post to sourceforge? Also, in future, keeping to the general layout of existing w32api headers (defines, then typedefs, then prototypes) would be good. This makes it easier to protect typedefs and prototypes against RC_INVOKED, while leaving the constants visible to windres. Ok. I was following the MS header arrangement - I wasnt' aware of a particular layout in the headers for w32api. Will follow in the future. Rob
Linking dlls
Hello again, I made an error in my earlier question, so please forgive the repost. My question is: is there a way that I can link a dll function 'foo' to a routine in code called 'bar'. So, I have a dll, extdll.dll, which exports a routine 'foo'. I don't have the source for the dll. I also have a very large body of code, in which the routine 'foo' is called many times. However, in the code, the routine, which is actually 'foo', is always called with the name 'bar'. For reasons it is not worth going into, I can't change the code. I need to link the code, so that calls to 'bar' generate calls to 'foo' in mydll.dll. Is there any way I can do this? I had a go with linker scripts, but didn't get far. I have had a look at dlltool, which can do aliasing of function names in a dll, but I think this only works by modifying the compilation of the dll, which is not open to me, as I do not have the source.

Virtual memory Exhaust problem onWin98
Hi ! The sh-elf-gcc built from GCC 3.0.1 gives error Virtual memory exhausted : Invalid argument while compiling any small C program on Win 98 system. The toolchain has been built in cygwin 1.3.2 environment. This was tested on two systems with following configurations. System1 - Win98 running on Pentium MMX system with 128 MB RAM and 500 MB free disk space. System2 - Win98 running on Pentium IV system with 128 MB RAM and 19.5 GB free disk space. The toolchain works fine on WinNT and Win2000. Is this problem related to Cygwin or GCC-3.0.1 ?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New on sourceware: units-1.77-1
I've uploaded units-1.77-1 to the Cygwin net distribution. The 'units' program converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents in other scales. The 'units' program can handle multiplicative scale changes as well as nonlinear conversions such as Fahrenheit to Celsius. For example: units -v 16.5kg oz 16.5kg = 582.02037 oz 16.5kg = (1 / 0.0017181529) oz units -v 15.432miles kilometers 15.432miles = 24.835397 kilometers 15.432miles = (1 / 0.040265111) kilometers To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. The, run setup and answer all of the questions. Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

talk(1) on WinXP -- perplexing behavior
Subject: talk(1) on WinXP -- perplexing behavior Hi folks, I'm having lots of trouble getting talk(1) to work correctly. I've read the documentation, man pages, mailing-list archives etc but to no avail. My Cygwin system is set up on a WinXP Box running ICF/ICS (Microsoft's Internet Connection Firewall and Internet Connection Sharing). The Local Area Connection (1) to the external Internet is setting its own external IP address as the machine hosting this service on my network, and it is permitting UDF 518 (ntalk) to pass thru. This machine also has a second Local Area Connection (2) which connects it to the rest of my LAN, and thru which my other machines reach the outside world. The behavior of talk(1) is puzzling me. There are four cases I have identified: 1) When I disable Local Area Connection (2) a) If I receive a talk request on this system from a remote system, everything seems to work fine. I can reply as specified, and talk. b) If I initiate a talk request on this system to a remote system, the remote user sees my request. I see: [No connection yet] [Waiting for your party to respond] [Ringing your party again] When he tries to reply to my request he gets the error: [No connection yet] [Unable to connect with initiator : Address already in use (48)] so, we seem to miss eachother. 2) When I enable Local Area Connection (2) [THE DESIRED STATE] a) If I receive a talk request on this system from a remote system, I see the request. When I try to reply I get the messages: [No connection yet] [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] ... and he sees: [Ringing your party again] [Ringing your party again] [Ringing your party again] ... so, again we seem to miss eachother. b) If I send a talk request on this system to a remote system, I see: [No connection yet] [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] ... and he sees nothing, and has no idea I'm trying to talk to him, and yes, he is 'mesg y' Any ideas?

RE: inetd -- service wont start at boottime on Win XP (add me to the pile)
I, too, could not make this work (in my case to start SSHD as a service), even after an exhaustive search of this list archive. What I ended up with was using the Scheduled Tasks control panel to schedule a cygrunsrv task.

scrollable console window in Windows 98
Hi Slightly off topic this, but I am sure someone else will have come across this. I use cygwin on several diffent machines, some of them NT, and one Win 98 laptop. One of the features I miss on Win98 is the abiliity to be able to scroll back in the command window. This doesn't seem to be possible in Win98, does anyone else know differently, or know of an alternative command window that can be used?

Subject: Re: bash/cmd CTRL-C problem...
Hi,
sorry for following up myself, but I found out that Cygwin equally handles
CTRL-BREAK and CTRL-C by sending a SIGINT to the process.
See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gnu-win32/message/27643 (last sentence).
This seems to be the source of the problem.
CTRL-BREAK under the cmd shell terminates the process after handling the
signal without further executing any code. The bad thing is that under
bash
the same behaviour follows from pressing CTRL-BREAK _and_ CTRL-C !!
If this is a design issue, can someone please explain what the reasons
are...
We have an application that forks other processes. The main thread is
waiting for the signal handler to return in order to cleanly stop the
child
processes. By just stopping the parent process the child processes keep
running and I have to kill them manually each time I press CTRL-C. The
same
application is working fine under windows cmd shell and bash under Linux ,
HP-UX 10/11, AIX4.x, and SunOS 2.5+...
Please help, I don't want to use the stupid windows cmd shell ;-)

Subject: bash/cmd CTRL-C problem...
Hi,
I'm new to the list and I don't know if this problem is already solved,
but
I couldn't find a hint neither on the archives nor on the FAQ or
somewhere
else on the net.
My problem is related to bash/cmd and signal handling.
In my app I installed a signal handler for SIGINT. The app is going into
a
wait loop and waiting for the exit flag from the signal handler to be
set.
When pressing CTRL-C in the windows cmd shell the application continues
normally after the signal handler has been caught. Under bash the signal
handler is also correctly called, but after that the app is exiting
immediatly, i.e. not continuing with the code.
Here is the source:
/
#include windows.h
#include stdio.h
#include signal.h
bool loop = true;
extern C void signalHandler(int sig)
{
switch( sig )
{
case SIGINT: // == 2
printf(SIGINT=%d\n,sig);
break;
default:
printf(default=%d\n,sig);
break;
};
loop=false;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (signal( SIGINT , signalHandler ) == SIG_ERR)
return -1;
printf(### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...\n);
while(loop)
Sleep ((DWORD) 1000) ;
printf(### ctrlbreak: Finished waiting now...\n);
return 0;
}
/
Here the the output of the app under Win2K/bash:
// bash2.05a-2
$ ./ctrlbreak.exe
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
// GNU bash, version 2.02.1(2)-release (i586-pc-cygwin32) B20.1
bash-2.02$ ./ctrlbreak
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
// cmd.exe Win2k SP2
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
### ctrlbreak: Finished waiting now...
You can see that under the cmd shell the text Finished waiting now...
is
printed which does not come out under the bash. The app is not linked
against any cygwin library. It is a plain VC++ console application. But
when
I compile with gcc from the cygwin package I have the same result.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated...
Michael
PS: I just downloaded the latest stable version 1.3.6 today...

No. I'm not using VC. I'm using Cygwin. But I mantain .obj and .lib names because I'm migrating these programs from Watcom to Cygwin, and the original names were .obj and .lib.

Re: cygwin and XP
I don't have a solution, but I have seen this before on both Win2k and NT4. I was installing onto machines that were on wireless networks and I attributed it to dropping connections/ slow net interface. It seemed to download a few things and then bug out with the error you mentioned. I later burned our local cygwin install build to a CD and it worked fine, this probably isn't a good solution, but perhaps it will help illuminate the problem.

If I re-run setup and try to install from my hard drive (using the packages that were all downloaded, apparently successfully), the same thing happens: mount completes successfully, and then everything quits.

Also, is there a quick way to select all packages from setup? It gets tedious switching off all the Skip lines, especially when I'm installing from my hard drive.

No, not currently. Jump in to help add the support if you can't wait. If there were a way of installing things manually, but not individually, that would be fine too. There *are* other ways to install. But setup.exe is the only one that's supported by this list. Sorry.

CVS and CR, LF
Hello, I have been using CVS successfully to maintain source code on a Linux based CVS server. The files have been edited with DOS applications and have CR, LF record terminators. The local source is on a Linux Samba share so it has been easy to use the Linux client CVS to commit, update with. So far so good. But, one of our programmers does not have Linux, so cygwin seemed natural. However, cvs diff thinks the whole files have changed, except for any file not touched. After a cvs update or cvs checkout, there is no problem. However, even after only a touch without modification (only modification time changed), cvs fails. I have tried many remedies found in Usenet archives without success. Any insight will be appreciated.

Proper $HOME setup? (/home or My Documents)
I checked the FAQ but didn't see anything on this (and did some mailing list searches, but didn't find it, hopefully it hasn't been covered already, or if so, point me to those if you please)... I have cygwin installed on a Windows 2000 machines. When I fire up bash, it has $HOME set to the My Documents folder for my user. But, /etc/passwd shows my home as /home/crb. And, when I use ssh, it says it can't create /home/crb/.ssh. There is no /home in my cygwin setup. So, my question is, should I create that, and move my .bashrc from My Documents into /home/crb, and then set a Win2k environment variable HOME to /home/crb? Or, is ok to use My Documents and I just tweak /etc/passwd, or What is the ideal setup?

I am having a weird problem with cygwin (1.3.6) and Internet Explorer 6.0 when running a bash shell. Internet explorer runs fine and I can surf the web, etc. However when I close the last IE window, IE crashes with no real apparent error. This does not occur when cygwin is running. So we may introduce Cygwin's new slogan We make even IE more stable! :)) Stipe [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Wapme Systems AG Münsterstr. 248 40470 Düsseldorf Tel: +49-211-74845-0 Fax: +49-211-74845-299 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.wapme-systems.de --- wapme.net - wherever you are -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: Reincarnation of Permission denied running programs in other directories
Well, I think I just made a giant step in the solving of this problem, but I still can't figure out what makes certain executables spit out Permission Denied when run. As it turns out, if you'll notice in the makefile output of my recent submission, the makefile makes use of /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe. The reason it would run at other times (including when in the containing directory) is because the file being executed is actually /usr/bin/as.exe. Since the makefile specifically uses /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe, this one is run instead of the other one and thus this is the one that bombs every time it's run. I hope this helps someone figure out the problem! = Sincerely, Aaron J. Outhier [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

1.3.6: ftp client does not change directory for ! commands
Hi, The ftp client executes all the ! commands (e.g. !ls, !pwd, !(any unix commad)) with current working directory as users home directory. Even if the directory is changed to some other directory than $HOME, the command !pwd always returns value of home directory. It used to work right. I think the proper behavior is that the ! commands should be executed as if they are executed from the directory whch is the local directory of the ftp client i.e. the directory where the ftp command lcd took the clinet to. This is specially handy when uploading specific files from a directory. The !ls does not show local files form lcd directory but from the user home directory. I am attaching a session below. Plus output of cygcheck -sv The ftp client is part of inetutils package. Thanks in advance.

Current Events and the End Times - so what?
I can show conclusively in the scriptures that Jesus Christ is coming back WITHIN A CERTAIN DATE RANGE in the near future. Yes, people do not know the Day or the Hour of Jesus' return - I agree, No one knows about that day or hour, Matthew 24:27. or, 1 Thessalonians 5:1, Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. But consider this: Luke 21:31, Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. What things? These things I explain in the booklet. I Thessalonians 5:2, 4-6, For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us no be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self- controlled. Revelations 3:3, But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. Matthew 24:43, But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready... So, the believers in Jesus Christ will know He is coming very soon, if they are awake and ready. And I can show you the signs AND JUST HOW SOON! I have prepared a comprehensive study on the return of Jesus Christ, in a 32-page booklet, which I will email to you for $1.00 U.S.,or postal mailed to you for $3.00. Please send cash or check (preferred) to: Summit Bay 4820 Yelm Hwy, S.E. Suite B, #215, Olympia, WA 98503-4903. The Summit Bay ministry is focused on current events and the biblical end times - a top to bottom Berean-study of the Word. Be sure to include your email address on the envelope or a piece of paper and the study will be emailed to you promptly. Also included in the study: What is the Rapture? Why is there a Rapture? When will it take place? Who will not be in the Rapture? Israel at war with Russia. The Great Falling Away. The Mark of the Beast. Who does not have the Mark? And more.
