Re: setup.exe looks good!
=== - Original Message - From: Gary R. Van Sickle [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just built the latest setup.exe. It looks really nice. And, I see that clickable categories are working! Are they ever! And did you catch the replace files in use feature? Yeah it makes you reboot, but still, pretty sweet. *Bow*. I still ain't heard boo from any win9x users. Anyone that can lay hand on a 9x machine and test this *before* we release the updated version, would be doing me a favour. I keep meaning to suggest the same thing, and maybe even lines like you get on most such expanding list control thingies. But I think Rob is rolling his own here instead of using the ListView common control (which isn't available on a stock 95 machine AFAIK), so lines might be asking a bit much. But I'd think that at a minimum, simply adding a toggling +/- to the front of each category string wouldn't be too traumatic. Rob? Listviews aren't hierarchical. Treeviews suck. So C++ to the rescue. I may wrap the end result in window messages at some point, but not being a win32 windowing API wizzzard thats a low priority. As for requirements, 95 +IE 4 is the minimum, and that wouldn't be a showstopper IMO (but the functionality is :}) Hopefully, that won't translate into it being completely incomprehensible for everyone on the cygwin@cygwin list. Well, we are working hard on the mindreading mode Shh! Be veri veri quite. I'm hunting rabbit. Rob

I'd like to eliminate the confusion that the current version of setup.exe is causing. It seems like we are in a standard add one more thing mode when people are experiencing real problems and real confusion with the currently released setup.exe. Nope. It's feature frozen. I announced that about 2 days ago. The *only* reason I'm doing the major char *-String overhaul is to ensure there are no more hidden heap corruptions occuring. The char[] seems to have the potential to confuse gcc. The only thing that I really wanted for the next release was clickable categories. We have quite a bit more than that so I assume there will be additional unforeseen headaches coming. This is standard when you add new features. The more features you add, the more headaches you'll get. Of course. I only got clickable categories done last week or so though :}. So, lets just concentrate on getting something out the door which solves the known issues. The biggest known issue right now is the How do I install everything? When it's ready, it'll ship.

All text being echoed in Xterms
Hi There, I'm a newbie to Cygwin/XFree. I just installed Cygwin 1.3.7/Xfree v4.2 on my sunpci card (basically, an Intel-based motherboard w/AMD processor running in a Sun box) running WinNT 4.0. All the software has installed perfectly. I can start up bash shells within Cygwin just fine, X starts up without any error messages (using the default startx scripts) and xterms/xclock appear fine. My trouble is that anytime I try to type (enter commands) in an xterm, all text gets echoed twice. So, if I type: 'ls -al[ENTER]' , I get the following spewed back: llss --aall [CR] [CR] me@machine bash me@machine bash --- I tried to determine whether it's Xwin or the xterm. (NOTE: the Cygwin shells do NOT have this problem). From what I can tell it is Xwin causing the problem. I was able to display a remote xterm window from a Sun box and had the same trouble where everything was echoed. I checked newsgroups, faqs, web, etc. and no luck. Any ideas? Thanks for any help you could provide! Thanks, +Steve

Thanks. I think we'll want you to keep your custom TEXINPUTS for

BTW - pdftex in tetex-20001208-4 depends on the

Hmm, that's not good. Does that package have a new name? Otherwise
we're in dire need of versioned depends.
One needs to upgrade that first - or run the
/etc/postinstall/*{tetex,texmf}* scripts again after ungrading
libpng.
Re-installing tetex will not re-run the postinstall script for some
unknown reason.
Ok. So tetex-beta and texmf-base/-tiny packages need to run the same
postinstall script; we'll have to merge them, I think.
Thanks for the report.

A real fork() on NT
When looking at XP's CreateProcessW (or rather, CreateProcessInternalW) I noticed something strange about the way it creates a process. It seems that NT is sort of capable of a fork() command. The function NtCreateProcess appears to create a blank process, into which you can put anything you want. After NtCreateProcess, kernel32 maps the EXE into that new process's memory space, creates a thread, and finally calls NtResumeThread to start its execution. If this long, nasty, scattered function could be reverse engineered, it should be possible to create a true fork() for NT, instead of doing the normal cygwin hack method. -- Barubary -- 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/

Sorry : I haven't been able to find any combination of stty erase ^H / stty

terminal and inside an application. Previously (2.7.2-6) and with no
reference to stty erase anywhere, I found that Backspace worked just fine at
the terminal and in all applications. For the moment I will revert to
2.7.2-6.

On Tue, Jan 29, 2002 at 09:32:06PM -0500, Pierre A. Humblet wrote: When ntsec is not defined, internal_getlogin matches the Windows username with the pw_name's in passwd to find the uid. When ntsec is defined, internal_getlogin scans passwd by sid's. Cygwin user names can then be different from Windows user names. In my case the program was running as a service under cygrunsrv. ntsec was not defined in the environment of the service manager, but only as a -e CYGWIN= argument to cygrunsrv. When cygrunsrv started it didn't find the Windows username in pw_name and used the default uid. When the service application started, with ntsec, it didn't scan the passwd file because cygrunsrv is a Cygwin process. Thus the username and uid were incorrect under ntsec... The same problem happens when a user with a Cygwin username different from Windows starts without ntsec. I saw 4 possible solutions. 1) Mandate ntsec if Cygwin and Windows user names differ. Not so good. /etc/passwd is a shared resource and different users may have different ntsec preferences. Unexpected situations can occur. But that's the whole point of having `ntsec' on. As I described in the ntsec docs (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html) having a Cygwin username different from the Windows username is explicitely a property of `ntsec'. Having a different username is not supported w/o ntsec. Besides that, I can't suggest using ntsec for one user but nontsec for another user. This results in weird effects for the user who's not using ntsec. According to the `ls -l' output she has access to file foo but a `cat foo' returns Permission denied. I admit that that also may happen with ntsec on, due to the complexity of NT permissions which aren't reflected by the `ls -l' output. But the surprises should be few. 4) Always scan /etc/passwd for sid (on NT/2000/XP). If no success, rescan based on Windows username. A little inefficient at startup if ntsec is not enabled, but most flexible [the two searches can also be combined, possible optimization]. I think you're right that we should always look for the SID in /etc/passwd at that point. The problem is exactly the startup of cygrunsrv with no CYGWIN setting in the system environment. I'm so used to having the usual CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty in my system environment that I'd never seen that problem. The attached uinfo.diff file implements solution 4. It also does not set primary group in the token (useless). No, it's not useless. If this process starts non-Cygwin processes this processes will set the users primary group given in /etc/passwd as primary group for created files. That's intended. I will not remove that. However, I have some problems with your patch to uinfo.cc. - It eliminates the opening brace at line 130 but it eliminates an unrelated closing brace at line 193. The corresponding closing brace would be in line 212. Is that planned - and if so, why - or is that just an accident? - The formatting isn't correct anymore after eliminating the braces. - I'm missing a ChangeLog entry for that patch. Could you please resubmit your patch with these changes to the cygwin-patches mailing list? And would you mind to send a copyright assignment form as described on http://cygwin.com/contrib.html?

ntsec+inetd+cvspserver (was CVS PServer problem)
Hi folks, I've managed to get CVS pserver running on Win2K (ntsec) and am in the process of preparing some documentation for it. I'm trying to grasp just how the user ID switching works when CVS is spawned from inetd. I've found that it is not necessary to specify the user as `root' in inetd.conf, for example `Guest' will suffice. #/etc/inetd.conf cvspserver stream tcp nowait Guest /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver I'd hoped that would make it a lot harder for anyone with malicious intent to gain access via pserver. However, I'm not convinced that isn't a bogus assumption. Does anything spawned from inetd run as the same uid as inetd itself (i.e. System)? I also have CVS users set up to use the Guest account (passwords in example below are `sandwich' and `scratchings' respectively - I was hungry when I set it up) #/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd bacon:KcFlgmzfPVIV.:Guest pork:JdSFwtTuy8Uk.:Guest One of the recommended was of setting up CVS pserver is, I believe, to have `cvs' and `cvsadmin' user accounts on the server PC, with normal multi-user access using the (lower permission) `cvs' account. I've effectively done this by having the administrative files owned by `Administrator' and the rest of the repository owned by `Guest'. However, it seems to be possible to checkout CVSROOT and commit changes to the administrative files (their ownership is then set to Guest). This seems like unhealthy behaviour. As a separate issue, although remote CVS pserver operations work correctly, I get the message `cvs commit: reading from xx.xx.xx.xx: Connection reset by peer'. I'm wondering if this is related to the issue described here: http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cvs/dev-sigpipe.txt. Suggestions or constructive comments welcome.

However, wrong user entries or failed user context switches are logged in the NT event log so it should be easy to debug.

=== - Original Message - From: Randall R Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] These concerns about the size of Cygwin are becoming ever less sensible. It's 2002, and storage is extremely cheap, fast and capacious. It hardly seems worth the bother to try to pare down a Cygwin install to save a few dozen (or even a hundred) megabytes of disk space. Now that I've installed the new Cygwin TeX packages (adding 95 megabytes or so), my full Cygwin install occupies about 310 megabytes. Heh, I'd have serious concerns about installing all the unneeded fluff - links/lynx/wget/curl/squid/ftp/inetd/gcc on every machine in a corporate environment.

RE: New on sourceware: texmf-20000804-2
Well, I *did* skip the libpng update... I think the reason (hind-sight) was that I don't expect teTeX to depend on libpng, (and to be honest, I always go via the ps/ghostscript route to pdf and I don't use pdftex myself, as the last time I use it it didn't support even eps graphics; and pdftex is a relatively new inclusion to teTeX) and another reason was I have a custom compiled xv which I uses quite often, and it obviously depends on libpng and I would rather not break it. By the way, the installation of teTeX still finishes - it is only during the post-install script stage (texconfig all?) that you get a lot of messages flashing by, and some of which is related to not being able to run pdftex and families; but the script does go all the way to completion and you would miss those messages if you are not reading it.

After NtCreateProcess, kernel32 maps the EXE into that new process's memory space, creates a thread, and finally calls NtResumeThread to start its execution. If this long, nasty, scattered function could be reverse engineered, it should be possible to create a true fork() for NT, instead of doing the normal cygwin hack method.

Problem with pipes, Cygwin 1.3.9, Win98
Hello!
Something changed between Cygwin 1.3.6 and 1.3.9 on handling of pipes on the
Windows 98 platform.
Here's a small Tcl code snippet:
set pipe [open | db_create $fileName $null_device w]
foreach value $cmds {
puts $pipe $value
}
close $pipe
$null_device is in the case of Windows, NUL. db_create is a program which
takes its input from stdin and using Tcl, I am opening a pipe to that program.
I will write all the cmds (which is a list of tokens) into the pipe and then
close the pipe. This all works on Windows 2000.
In Windows 98, however, the pipe can not be closed and my program will hang on
the close $pipe line. This used to work on Cygwin 1.3.6. I am not sure which
revision broke it, but it does not work on 1.3.9.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joey

Here's a feedback point for you, should you care about such frivolities: I run Xearth For Windows on my system (http://). When I run rxvt -ip I see the old (Prarie Wind, I think its called) desktop wallpaper I'd been using when I installed Xearth (and which still shows up before Xearth gets going).

Re: Cygwin port of rsync -- patch for Win2k (rsync 2.5.1)
I don't think I have enough knowledge on the fork() in cygwin subject to

Hi Lapo,
I've been trying out the Cygwin port of rsync -- version 2.5.1. I've
found that it doesn't work in server (i.e. --daemon) mode on my Win2k
box, but it does work on my Win98 box.
I did some debugging, and came up with a fix.
In socket.c, we have the following code which the server executes after
being connected to by a client:
if (fork()==0) {
close(s);
/* open log file in child before possibly giving
up privileges */
log_open();
_exit(fn(fd));
}
delay(1);/* CHM addition */
close(fd);
I've marked my addition with . What seems to happen on Win2k is that
the close(fd) gets called by the mother process before the child process
gets going. By adding a 1 second delay after the fork in the mother
process, it seems to give enough time for the child to replicate the
socket, so the mother can safely close(fd) it.
The code for delay is:
static void /* CHM addition */
delay(
int secs)
{
struct timeval timeout;
timeout.tv_sec = secs;
timeout.tv_usec = 0;
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, timeout);
}
I've been running rsync with this mod, and it seems to work fine.
I know it's ugly -- the real solution would be to fix fork() -- but at
least it works...

BTW: could be useful IMHO if anyone with a Win98 and a WinXP box could offer some spare machine time to the Samba Build Farm (http://build.samba.org/) as i'm doing with my Win2k machine. All you need to do is install a cron job to automatically download new rsync sources (using rsync itself, the binary distributed with cygwin has no problem downloading), compiling them (if there is a new version) and sending back the log to the smart automated system. Currently rsync compiles OOTB but fails the tird automated test (hands). -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796) -- 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/
Install problems
I just installed cygwin today (after a long while of not having it installed...) and when I started up bash I discovered that $HOME wasn't being set correctly! After looking through the faq, I thought this might be related to me having a windows login name with a space in it, so I edited /etc/profile to explicitly set my username to james. This didn't work. After doing a bit of testing, I discovered that the following structure: if [ -z $HOME ]; then HOME=/home/$USER fi was failing to set the HOME variable correctly. I was able to fix this by removing the if/fi statements and just arbitrarily setting the HOME variable. Am I going to have other problems doing this? Also, is there a known reason that the HOME variable wasn't being set correctly in the first place (it was just being set to $USER.)? My operating system is Windows ME, if that's any help...

A newbie question for cygwin 1.3.9
Hi I am new to cygwin and just installed it but I couldn't find gcc as part of the distribution. Am I missing something ? I am also not having luck with common programs like file more. Do I have to download those separately ? For now I need the gcc more than anything. The other question is if I were to compile a C program and have it statically linked, does it mean I can still run the binary even after blowing the cygwin environment away ?

Re: How do i upgrade to gcc 3.X on cygwin?
I have been able to build 3.x under cygwin when I just specify the C and C++ languages (see ./configure --help for info on how to do this). As I recall, it failed in the Fortran build. I didn't bother trying to figure out why as all I wanted was C C++. regards, Ben Scherrey 1/30/2002 8:41:30 PM, Mack Lobell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i have gcc 2.95.3 installed on a NT machine running cygwin.

Sounds like you should investigate other categories on above screen, too. You have to tell setup.exe what you want. It doesn't install everything.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: fortune-1.8-2
I've updated the version of fortune in cygwin/contrib to 1.8-2. This version supports the -m flag, so you can now request a list of all fortunes matching a particular regular expression by running fortune -m regexp. See the fortune man page for additional details. fortune-1.8-2 will NOT work with Cygwin versions prior to 1.3.7!! 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. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

Re: A real fork() on NT

Getting line ending conversion (crlf - lf) in cygwin cvs?
Platform: CygWin 1.3.2, CygWin/XFree86 4.1.0, Win2k I installed cygwin with default text type Unix. This is what is recommended by the cygwin/xfree86 User's Guide: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-installing.html (item 7, in the list in the above URL). So what I'm wondering now, is: 1. is it possible to make cygwin CVS do line ending translation, without changing the default text type for all of cygwin? 2. is it possible to change the default line ending for a cygwin installation, without reinstalling cygwin? 3. will changing the default line ending convention for cygwin interfere with cygwin/xfree86? I assume the choice is in the User's Guide for a reason? Will it help that I'm not running any cygwin native X clients? I'm using XDMCP to log in to linux boxes Thanx! - Steinar -- 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/
