Antwort: Re: XWin w2k xdmcp-query - no valid address
Hi, I have not watched the previous posts, but have you tried to start the XServer XFree without XDMCP? And then to connect via telnet + export Display to your host? (or even easier with ssh -X) Is this possible? Thanks - yes, this works quite well. If there's no way to do it via XDMCP, then this is how I'll do it ... CiaoRalf
RE: XWin terminates immediately under W2K
Julian, Now when I run Xinstall, it complains that it can't create symlinks. Aagh. Maybe I shouldn't have made all the mount points binary. Your mount points should be binary... but I don't know what is causing your error. Guess you'll have to investigate this one on your own, unless someone else knows the solution. Harold
RE: All text being echoed in Xterms
Steve, No ideas here. I'm guessing it is a problem with xterm. You can also, I think, run the latest version of Cygwin's 'rxvt' as an X Client. Note: rxvt is including with the Cygwin distribution, not with the Cygwin/XFree86 tarballs. I'd give rxvt a shot and see what happens. Report back when finished.

Known problem. You have to use '-kb' parameter, keyboard extension doesn't work with AIX. The keyboard is not out of order completely, but the system behaves like AltGr key is permanently pressed. By the way this is the reason I have to change my keyboard layout manually after every logon to the system, what's really silly.

Before you say ''Bull'', please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are ''absolutely NO Laws prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow the simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost''. DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: ''Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received total $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in. Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey. === Here is another testimonial: This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and 3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything.''

RE: $HOME Directory Relocation
Hi Laurence, I tried to correlate Window's home and Cygwin's home by the following lines in /etc/profile.

Sounds like a DEF file problem.

Re: changing default text type without reinstall?
Michael A Chase [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [...] I think you found most of what you needed, but did the articles you found explain enough? If not, what parts were insufficient or unclear? An example of changing the line ending convention for a part of the directory tree would have saved me from pondering the command line arguments and why they went wrong. Also, I'm still not sure how the line ending conversion works. I tried notepad.exe both on /home/sba/.bashrc and on some files in a freshly checked out CVS workspace, and files both places showed up correctly. I then tried notepad.exe on a file in the /etc directory, and this file still had only LF line separators, as seen from notepad. This means that it probably wasn't neccessary for me to check out the CVS workspace again, because all files in the directories under the new mount point were changed somehow? (since notepad.exe doesn't read any form of cygwin config) An explanation of the principles makes it easier to understand what to do, and what to expect. [snip!] The thing that puzzles me about that error message is that it didn't complain about c:cygwinhome instead since the bash command line reader uses '\' as an escape character. The easy way to avoid that problem is to use '/' instead of '\' even in Windows paths passed to cygwin programs. I tried mount -t c:/cygwin/home /home and that worked fine. There are two types of mount points, user and system. By default mount creates user (-u) mount points. These only apply to the current user and override the corresponding system mount points. Normally I only create system (-s) mount points. Ah, I should have used mount -s -t c:/cygwin/home /home I guess (I didn't read this far before running the command...:-) ).

Re: DirectX8/DirectInput + cygwin
Thanks for the quick response. Right now I'm just passing in the .lib files directly into GCC for linking and I can see why there would be problems if VS uses a different name mangling algorithm after your explanation. However, I'm kind of stuck at how to go about converting the .lib files into the native .a lib files gcc uses.

It can't be done from C++ because of the way COM virtual tables work. GCC can't clone Visual C++'s method because Microsoft holds a U.S. patent on their exact method. Just try using MFC from GCC and you'll know exactly what I mean. In C, the virtual table system is done by actually creating the vtable structure in the header file, so this isn't a problem. If you modify the DirectX header files, you could fix this for C++, but you'd have to do -lpVtable all the time, like in C. GCC, or rather binutils, can't handle the Microsoft import library format. binutils of course has its own, so you could make your own from the DLL.

hell\ Extensions/Approved/\{BDEADF00-C265-11d0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F\} is a bit
hard to type in by accident...
2. it makes scripting easier
3. ** adding /proc/registry means adding /proc and once a /proc virtual fs
is established, other /proc entries can be added a lot more easily
This seems good to me :-)
4. it gives you an alternative to regedit and friends
I almost have a read-only version of this working. I don't see why their
should be objections to this since you can't screw your registry up in any
way. I'll think about how to add write capabilities later.
I'll probably add some entries to /proc - ones commonly found on UNIX
platforms maybe. Anyone have any favourites they wish to see?

unix domain socket with shared memory ?
Hi all,
cfg has told me about the current process of cygwin daemon implementation with ipc
support.
I initial have heard last year, that this work would be started, but because of so
much other work I have lost the
contact to the ongoing process.
Now I was looking into the ongoing work and it seems to me in a mostly read state,
isn't it. I like to say: Great
work to all who have worked on it. :-)
The reason why I'm writing this is that I have recognized some performance issues with
unix domain sockets, which
are used very much by kde and currently I'm looking for a way to speed this up. I have
seen that unix domain
sockets are eumlated through tcp connections and this seems to me the reason, why unix
domain sockets are only half
as fast as pure tcp sockets. The benchmark results are located at
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01719.html

BRAMSCHE Linux 2.2.18 343. 235. 64.4 177.7 238.5 71.5 61.4 238. 75.3
Some guys may say, unix domain sockets are not implemented through tcp connection, but
I'm relative sure, that this
is true:
KDE's dcopserver uses ICE which uses unix domain sockets. After starting this
serverapp a diff of netstat -a shows
TCPBRAMSCHE:4462 BRAMSCHE:0 ABHTREN
TCPBRAMSCHE:4464 BRAMSCHE:4462 WARTEND
TCPBRAMSCHE:4474 BRAMSCHE:0 ABHTREN
The dcopserver uses a unix domain socket path below.
$ cat ~/.DCOPserver_BRAMSCHE_BRAMSCHE-0
.local/BRAMSCHE:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2612
2612
The respective ICE socket file shows the following
habacker@BRAMSCHE ~/src/cvs.cygwin.com/src/winsup/cygwin
$ cat /tmp/.ICE-unix/2612
.!socket 4462 F44D504D-189AA33E-F06C24E4-2E5D38A0
This is the above mentioned port in use.
Can anyone confirm this ?
Because the cygwin-daemon branch provides the long missed ipc support, the way for for
speeding up unix domain
sockets with a shared memory implementation may be free. (I not be not first one, who
tells about this, because I
have seen some guys before talking about this possibility)
I've played a while with the cygwin-deamon source how to implement this and have got a
quick and dirty
implementation of this so think I have catched the important todos (see below), but I
may be wrong in some cases.
So I'm asking for comments to this topics.
TODO:
1. create a new file fhandler_local.cc and implement the needed socket functions like
bind/listen/connect/read/write/fixup after fork and so on.
2. add the tcp/ip relates stuff from net.cc main socket functions like
bind/listen/connect/read/write into
fhandler_socket.cc
3. reorganice net.cc so that the functions of fhandler_socket.cc or fhandler_local.cc
depending on the socket type
are used.
1a. For each socket instance, which calls bind() and listen() there has to be created
a shared memory area
identifed by the path name, which contains two regions, one for each direction and
some counters and pointers for
buffer filling and empting handling.
1b. For each socket instance, which uses connect() it has to connect to the related
shared memory area identified
by the path name.
One open topic for me is how to handle forking. I imagine, that because the file
handles are duplicated, the shared
memory has to be duplicatd too, but because the socket file name is the same, does it
use the same shared memory
area as the parent or not ???
My intention whis this thread is to make sure, that this strategy is a possible way
and I'm willing to spent some t
ime to get this running, although I think I'm not be able to handle this whole task
alone.

Ralf

perl -i switch bug on cygwin
Hi! It seems there is a bug on the -i switch for perl. I do not know if it's a perl issue or cygwin issue so I post it here for first; let me know please if it would be better to send a bug report to perl mainteners instead. Here is a small example: ### gcm [0][GEN13]~mkdir tmp gcm [0][GEN13]~cd tmp /home/benoitr/tmp gcm [0][GEN13]~/tmpecho hello hello gcm [0][GEN13]~/tmpls -al total 5 drwxr-xr-x2 benoitr None0 Feb 6 11:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x5 benoitr None 4096 Feb 6 11:34 ../ -rw-r--r--1 benoitr None6 Feb 6 11:35 hello gcm [0][GEN13]~/tmpperl -p -i -e 1 hello Can't do inplace edit on hello: Permission denied. gcm [0][GEN13]~/tmpls -al total 4 drwxr-xr-x2 benoitr None0 Feb 6 11:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x5 benoitr None 4096 Feb 6 11:34 ../ gcm [0][GEN13]~/tmpecho hello hello gcm [0][GEN13]~/tmpperl -p -i~ -e 1 hello gcm [0][GEN13]~/tmpls -al total 6 drwxr-xr-x2 benoitr None0 Feb 6 11:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x5 benoitr None 4096 Feb 6 11:34 ../ -rw-r--r--1 benoitr None6 Feb 6 11:35 hello -rw-r--r--1 benoitr None6 Feb 6 11:35 hello~ ### As you can see, the -i switch works well with an argument but not at all with no arguments, which is really inconvenient for me since I have a bunch of scripts written on UNIX system that rely on this capability (for substituting texts inplace on a collection of files in conjunction with find and xargs for example). I remember that I had this problem one year ago (on cygwin with a modified version of perl since perl was not on the cygwin standard package at this time) and fixes it by using the arg form of the -i switch, followed by a rm of the moved file. The man perlrun page well describe the desired behavior of the -i switch with an argument (in fact, the code that should be executed) but not at all the no arg form of the -i switch. I suppose it should only unlink the moved file (but is this the way it is done; i.e. moving the original file with a name not already used in the same directory?). Oh! Please don't send a workaround, just tell me if it's really a bug or my misunderstanding of something and what should I do exactly to forward my observations so that perl/cygwin can be corrected accordingly to the doc. As a sugar, if the -i switch doc in the man page could exactly describe the behavior when no arg is given, that would be for sure an enhancement.

Re: /dev/registry
Barubary, The motivation for a file-system reflection of the Windows registry is to open it up to programs not written in a Windows native language (C, C++, VB, etc.). Doing this would give all manner of scripts (shell, Perl, Python, TCL, etc.) access to the registry in one fell swoop. That is one of the beautiful things about the Unix approach of fitting so much of a system's facilities into the unified framework of the file system. As the discussion has shown, however, if the underlying facility is not a good match for Unix's file model, this approach falls down. The Windows registry appears to be at the boundary of this issue, given the typed nature of its entries. The suffix approach or, perhaps, a terminal directory holding entries like .dword or .sz would presumably suffice. The suggestion about ioctl() begs the question of where to get the file descriptor to which to apply the ioctl() call, and does not open the registry to scripting languages that have no direct access to the Cygwin or Windows APIs. It does not really simplify the task of adding the ability to Cygwin, but obscures the basic access behind the obscure and overloaded catch-all interface that is ioctl(). It is true that this would make inadvertent registry corruption less likely, but it only by virtue of making so much less accessible. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA At 03:23 2002-02-06, Barubary wrote: Why can't this /dev/registry stuff be just an ioctl()? Open the /dev/registry node for the appropriate access, then use some ioctl()'s to read and write it. Put the /dev/null entry points for the read and write handlers for /dev/registry and you won't have that accidental corruption from cat. By the way, if you're using Cygwin, why can't you just call RegQueryValueExW and friends yourself? You're a Win32 process anyway, and no UNIX has such a thing - don't care about portability. -- 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/

if (-l $PROG2)
{
system rm $PROG2;
}
else{
print popo;
}
The problem is that the symlink install it isn't removed althought it
is present with ls -l in the good directory? Why? I tested my rm
command by hand and it works it seems -l not working. Thanks.
Have you tried Perl's unlink()?
I wondered the same thing. I'd also suggest using cygwin paths with '/'
and no c: rather than the above.

Re[2]: DirectX8/DirectInput + cygwin
By the way, you can access the DirectX C interfaces (or any COM interface for that matter) from C++ by #defining CINTERFACE before including the header containing the interface.

Include problems....
I am having major problems with include files in cygwin. Firstly, I cant include files which are linked (.lnk files (symlinks?). This works fine on bash under redhat. This isnt my main problem though...! The main problem is that I can tget the -I flag to work correctly under cygwin. Take a look at this: Cygwin:- bash-2.05a$ gcc asd.cpp -I/tmp -v #include ... search starts here: #include ... search starts here: c:\program files\devcpp\bin\..\lib\gcc-lib\i386-mingw32msvc\2.95.2\..\..\..\..\include End of search list. Linux:- bash-2.05a$ gcc asd.cpp -I/tmp -v #include ... search starts here: #include ... search starts here: /tmp /usr/local/gcc-3.0/include/g++-v3 /usr/local/gcc-3.0/include/g++-v3/i686-pc-linux-gnu /usr/local/gcc-3.0/include/g++-v3/backward /usr/local/include /usr/local/gcc-3.0/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0/include /usr/include End of search list. The linux one is adding /tmp to the list of directories to be searched. Why isnt cygwin? The redhat gcc is version 3, whereas the one on my machine is 2.9 something, but I dont think its that...!

Re: DirectX8/DirectInput + cygwin
Thanks folks - I found a mirror for the dx8 libs on Peter Puck's web site - http://rain.prohosting.com/urebel/download.html Also, Peter Puck's web site is down at the moment - hopefully it will come back up: it is: http://sites.netscape.net/ptrpck/directx.htm I'll try installing these today and see if I can make some progress, thanks to everyone for their quick response! I'll send a DirectX section to the FAQ maintainer once I get all this working as a kind of payback.

The site appears to be down at the moment, but if you google for dx8 Peter Puck you can probably find them, I believe these are MingW bindings, but they work fine with cygwin. Contrary to popular belief you can use the COM/C++ bindings. Gcc's default way of doing thunking is different than visual C's, but if you use the compiler option -fvtable-thunks it uses the vtable method. Due to this being a ABI change, you will need to build all your source files with this. This obviously does not fix the name mangling incompatibilities with Visual C, but on a COM interface such as DX, this does not matter. The biggest problem you will have are with DirectShow, and the D3DX libraries. DirectShow (or whatever it is called these days) has a C++ interface to it, and as such will only work with visual C's mangling scheme. So no joy there.. With D3DX, the problem is that the libraries are statically linked, and use Visual C++'s name mangling scheme for most of the internal symbols. This leaves them somewhat useless for any compiler rather than Visual C. There are 2 solutions to this. - don't use them, they are convenient, but not essential to DX programming. - Make a wrapper DLL for them with visual C. I believe someone has already done this to enable them to use the librarys in Borland C. A google search should yield some answers.

Re: /proc (was: Re: /dev/registry)
Just another log on the fire, the Perl registry modules use for the
(default) value.
Even so, I'd lean toward @ since it's hard to name a file .
You may need to have an ioctl() to change the key separator. '\' would
probably be ok, but difficult. The problem with '/' might make it hard to
handle the cygwin mount tables.

bug report: cygwin lib can't recover after out of memory
Hi, I observed cygwin getting into a bad state after a memory-allocation failure, from which I only can recover by terminating all cygwin processes to unload the cygwin1.dll. I run a perl script that gradually allocates memory until the memory limit of 256 MB (default) is reached. Perl, as expected, terminates with Out of Memory! However, _after_ the script terminates, subsequently executed cygwin programs have a problem: - a simple ls gives Segmentation fault (core dumped) % ls -l ... (works correctly) % ./test.pl -- script to reach mem limit Out of memory! % ls -l Segmentation fault (core dumped) % - trying to open another rxvt window (while the shell in which the script terminated is still open) shows the msg handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION To recover, I need to exit the shell in which the script terminated first, such that all cygwin processes are gone (and cygwin1.dll gets unloaded, I guess).

lock down cygwin1.dl in memory to avoid paging in a network installation?
Hi, does anyone have an idea how to force cygwin1.dll to be loaded entirely and then locked down in physical memory so that NT won't page it out? In our compute server farm, to reduce maintainance overhead, I installed Cygwin UNIX-like in the network, i.e. the cygwin root (/) and everything below like /bin, /etc etc is on an NT network drive. With this I can install Cygwin on any computer by using a single Cygwin-mount command, and all installations are guaranteed to be identical, works well. However, once the NT file server crashes or falls into meditation or the network hangs for ~1 minute, cygwin does not function anymore reliably. Programs (running or newly started) sooner or later crash with seg fault or STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. It seems the file handle to cygwin1.dll becomes invalid due to a timeout, and subsequent requests for paging in dll code fail. The only way to recover is to terminate _all_ cygwin processes which unloads cygwin1.dll. Our jobs often run many days, and there are multiple cygwin jobs on each multi-CPU server. Anyone any idea?

Error reports and queries
Hi 1. I installed OpenSSH (and therefore OpenSSL) under Cygwin. My shell is tcsh. When my shell starts up, it gives an error because the last line of /etc/profile.d/openssl.csh has an error in the last line. This should be endif not fi. 2. If tcsh is invoked from the command line (for example), the MANPATH variable gains a duplicate openssl entry. This is duplicated again each time tcsh is nested. 3. The default configuration for tcsh is quite different to most systems' default tcsh configuration: noglob is set, command-line typo-correction is enabled, etc. Any chance that this could be changed to a setup that is more typical on Unix systems? 4. I am a power user, not an administrator. But inside my Cygwin shell I can read, edit and write arbitrary files in /, /etc, /home/Administrator etc. This is true both with and without ntsec. Is this proper behaviour, to follow the NTFS permissions and disregard the Posix permissions? 5. It appears that ntsec allows *listing* permissions, but the real permissions are unchanged with or without ntsec. Is this right? 6. What does ntea actually do? The guide isn't very clear whether this is a good thing, or exactly what it does: if it simply allows tracking chmod permissions, how do these interact with the ntsec permissions?
