Of all of the versions of project 'bob' on all of the download sites, only the newest one (as indicated by the various setup.ini's) will be downloaded to the local cache. So, if on Tuesday site X has bob-1.0-1 (and everybody else has bob-0.9), then only http%%%X%%% will contain a bob tarball. On Wednesday, site Y has bob-2.0 -- now, we download bob-2.0 tarball into http%%%Y%%%. Okay, so you now have two bob tarballs in the local cache -- but they are different versions. --Chuck

Re: TCP Wrappers
I've whipped up a repackaged version of your -src, that follows the approved conventions. Also, it uses a shell script to control building, and installs the man pages, header file, has a postinstall script to create /etc/hosts.allow/deny if they dont already exist, etc. I'll mail it to you privately, Prentis. The hooks are there to build/install the DLL version, but the allow_severity/deny_severity problem I referred to in my earlier message has to be fixed first, then you can uncomment the hooks in Makefile and in the shell script. --Chuck Prentis Brooks wrote: I am willing to look into this, it currently does not use libtool, so I have a lot of mods to make that happen, if I understood cgf right.

Re: TCP Wrappers
wh, I am going to have fun this weekend ;) On Wed, 3 Apr 2002, Charles Wilson wrote: Mostly correct. Unfortnately, libwrap is bad. It uses an int (allow_severity and deny_severity) that are expected to be defined in the application (so, tcpd.h says 'extern int allow_severity'). This is okay in a static lib, but not in a DLL. instead, stuff must be changed around so that the library itself defines those variables, and exports them to the applications -- AND the applications must NOT declare them...which means patches to main() in tcpd, tcpdmatch, safe-finger, etc. And sshd. --Chuck Christopher Faylor wrote: On Wed, Apr 03, 2002 at 12:37:25PM -0500, Prentis Brooks wrote: I am willing to look into this, it currently does not use libtool, so I have a lot of mods to make that happen, if I understood cgf right.

If I understood the previous conversation then I would need libtool support to simplify the dll generation.

We need to implement the rest of the server into native GDI calls, then we can start looking at 'rootless' modes. It's by no means a small task to do the conversion to native GDI first though. I wonder why native GDI is required for rootless modes. There would need to be support for creating Win32 windows for each X window. Plus, drawing (or blitting) into those Win32 windows instead of one single window or full screen. An internal window manager would also be needed. Aye, there's the rub. When the X application pops up a menu, it must grab the keyboard and the *whole* screen.

XWarpCursor doesn't stick
Hi, All, I just started trying out (evaluating, if you'll pardon the phrase) XFree86 under Windows 2000, and have noticed a problem. I have a program (wily, you can download it here and there) that does a fair amount of pointer warps. I have noticed, however, that the pointer warps are really only for show -- as soon as you try to move the cursor with the mouse, the pointer immediately jumps back to where it was before the warp. Ugh! This happens in both fullscreen and in-a-Window mode. Thanks for any help, Bill

In other words, a system modal window is required, which means one can't use an internal WM but must use MS-Windows as WM - while still being responsive to ICCM. Does the menu need to be truly modal on the Windows side? The menu window has the focus so it will get keyboard events. It can be modal with respect to all the other X server-owned windows. It is harder to make it modal relative to Windows. Just to make sure we are using the same terms, what I mean by an internal window manager one running inside the X server. I am taking my cue from the eXcursion2 design document. Windows is generating the move, resize, etc events. The window manager hooks into the X server Windows event loop and handles window state events. The internal window manager should act as proper window manager which presumably means talking to the server. The other way I can see to handle a rootless X server is with a separate X client window manager. For each root-level X window, there is a corresponding Windows window. But without any frame at all. The window manager draws the frame and handles moving, resizing, and all that. The X server is responsible of moving the Windows window. Does any of this make sense? - Ian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.znark.com/

printf and cout is not working after loaded the cygwin DLL
Hi, I have tried to use a DLL which is created using Cygwin by a VC++ console application. But after loaded that DLL the usual cout and printf console outputs are not coming to the current screen. That means, when I tried to use a printf (test\n); the command is executed. But the output message test is not appearing in the screen. But when I put a printf in side the DLL function, that out put is displayed correctly. But I cannot print any messages from my main function to that screen after loading the DLL which was created by cygwin. Any comments? Thank You, Regards, Suhanthan, V.

RE: trouble using scanf on double arguments under Windows2000
Hi, I modernized my Cygwin last night, but have not had a chance to try some of the offending programs. When I was using an older version, some programs exhibit the problem and some would not, it was really weird. Tonight, I will try to find one or two programs that did not work properly and see if they work with the new Cygwin, if not then I will have to try to figure out what is causing it instead of looking for a workaround as Christopher suggested. By the way, I just thought of this and I don't know if this makes a difference, but when I had the problem before I was using Windows 95. I have since moved on to Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 6, maybe that will make a difference? Have a nice day.

Termcap issue in cygwin
Hello, This message has two parts, the long story, and the short story. First the short story. As far as I understand, the function tgetent, has two parameters, which are documented in the manual for termcap(3) and tgetent, the first one is of type (char *). According to the manual of the unix system I am using the length of this string is supposed to be 1024. I have found that the entries for the linux and cygwin terminal are over 1024 characters long, which causes this function to corrupt the stack and the program dump core. A classical buffer overflow bug. I believe this is an issue with the termcap database, which I believe should be shortened to satisfy the 1024 characters length requirement in (it seems) most (if not all) Unix systems. Now the long story (which puts the short story in context). My real goal was to compile Pine for cygwin, which I did, and you are welcome to give it a try by downloading it from my web page (address below). The problem that I had was that every time that I started Pine in the cygwin terminal, it would dump core, due to the problem described above. Pine needed to be executed under rxvt, for example, in order to not to make it dump core. Although I believed for some time that rxvt was a requirement in order to execute Pine, now I realize that it is not, but my request instead is to make the work around of giving more space to the first argument of tgetent disappear. Is there any chance that both the linux and the cygwin entries will be shortened to less than 1024 characters?, or should I just have to accept this as a given?

Re: ncftp current release won't run - missing CYGREADLINE5.DLL
Sorry Robert, I lost the last word on the subject line when I posted the email you read. It turns out, no you can't just re run setup.exe on an already installed cygwin and expect it to work. It might delete a dll or two for you due to an install bug. The faq offers the solution of hunting down which packages contain the dll files you are missing and re installing them. I found it much easier last night to just wipe out the old cygwin install, and local download storage (where you ran setup from) completely and doing a full install. The other thing to watch for is that a default install does not install everything, so if you want everything, click on the little arrow loop icon on the all category in setup and change it to install all..

v1.3.10 - must run bash twice to read .bashrc
I have looked all through the list archives and on google groups, but this problem does not seem to be listed. I am running Windows 2000, logging in to an NT domain (not sure if any of this matters). When I run the Cygwin shortcut, it logs in OK, but does not run the .bashrc (I have a few aliases, that's how I can tell). I need to run bash again to get it to load .bashrc. Then, when I log out, I need to logout twice, to get rid of both shells. BTW, the $HOME is /home/Administrator, not /home/myloginname, which does not seem to be an issue, as this is the way is was on other machines. Additionally, when I do run the bash command the second time, the $HOME is still the same. I have run/am running Cygwin on NT4, and W98 machines, none of which have had this problem.

It isn't a random event. setup.exe doesn't delete a dll every time it is run. It is ludicrous to assert this. 2) Robert has indicated that the situation which caused deletion of a DLL has been eliminated. Larry has already provided the needed information in this very thread.

RE: Creating Static Libraries
Right. If you want a static library, you have to build one. An import library is not the same as a static library. In general, there's no reason you can't build a static library of you want one.

I expect it's just an indicator of a configuration issue. The segv would be another. The mhash package is definitely intended to be built under mingw, which seems to be failing. It includes ctype.h under it's standard c libraries list, which seems to have problems under mingw. I actually reuntarred and tried building again. If I comment out all references to ctype.h, the package builds cleanly, but fails with what is actually a Signal 11. I tried stepping through with gdb, but the area of code that is playing around here seems to be some interesting macros. At this point previously, I hoped it was something I had done to get the compile to be clean, but considering that this time around I didn't change any code (simply removed an include), I believe it's the mhash library's fault, but I don't know enough to procede. -Richard Campbell. -- 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/

My workaround was to - make sure I set CYGWIN system environment variable to include ntsec - added a local to my host PC account that I can use for ftp access. To recap - before the update ftp was working, allowing me to use my network domain login ID for both telnet and ftp to my host PC. After I updated, telnet still worked fine, but ftp would reject my login saying Can't set uid I'm up and running by using a new local account on my host for ftp access. I think the problem I have using my Background: My network login has local only admin priveledges on the host PC, but not on the network. What also happens is that if I try a mkpasswd -d I get a few of the real network admin account names followed by a permission denied (ie our network domain server won't let me sniff the domain account list?) , so I'm unable to build /etc/passwd with real values from my own windows network account. I think this is the crux of my issue.. Since I have admin priveleges on my host pc, it was simple to add a new local account for ftp.. Anyhow, I'm up and running ftpd again. Feel free to correct me on the details above..

RE: Updated: vim-6.1-2
Randall, Your suggestion was right on the nail! Thanks a lot for your help.

Your symptom suggests that you're misleading Vim as to the kind of terminal (emulation) you're using. Make sure your TERM variable is set correctly and is exported to the environment. use cygwin for a console Cygwin shell (any variety) and rxvt for an RXVT terminal emulator window.

Re: mcrypt commnad
Sorry, I did not work in all unix, I mean to say Unix I worked with ( Sun 5.6, 5.8). I am not sure whether GNU specification is different for crypt command. I am not asking that crypt command should be changed in cygwin but rather asking is there any equivalent command which works the same way as in Sun OS. You are getting command not found error in Red Hat 7.x, don't you know what does it mean ? It means command does not exists in your system . My guess is ,you might have to get crypt RPM package to install it.

errno.h - EILSEQ
Hi I have been compiling and running fvwm successfully in cygwin for sometime now, but recent code changes in fvwm check for an error code of EILSEQ. This is standard on Linux, Solaris from the discussions I've had on the fvwm MLs. Does anyone know why this is missing from cygwin? Can someone add it or should it be part of a larger change (feature)?

cygwin-man
I was thinking about (end-user) documentation. It seems like there are quite a few questions that come up about What kind of UNIX is Cygwin? and more than once there have been questions about a man intro page. I know a little groff and I'm thinking of making a collection of cygwin-specific manpages. Since the full documentation is on the web the manpages could point that direction (like the GNU manpages point to info). I might start out with a man intro page and manpages for the cygwin utils and cygwin_foo() functions, as already documented on the website. What I'm looking for is feedback on the intro.1 page, which might include: --URL of the User's Guide --the description from the website about A DLL (cygwin1.dll) that acts as a UNIX emulation layer... --emphasis on GNU tools which make the cygwin environment more similar to GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd than, say, Solaris --that cygwin is NOT any one UNIX and the importance of the SUSv2 (with URL) --SEE ALSO: cygcheck, cygpath, etc. --??? Obviously this is not real writing but just points to make on the page. I'll post a draft here also. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Updated: vim-6.1-2
I've updated the version of VIM in cygwin/latest to 6.1-2. This version is a major release. It fixes a big bunch of problems in 6.0.xx versions. 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. Then, 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. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.
