Setup.exe does not like its own source (was: setup.exe 2.218.2.8/9 broken)
Chris Down wrote: I regularly update my Cygwin installation ( Win2k) and I do not usually get any problems. However I recently updated using setup-2.218.2.9 and the Download Incomplete window popped up. After investigating I found that this only occurred if I tried to do an internet install on the Setup sources. If I omit this everything is fine. I use mirrors.rcn.net for installs. This is repeatable on my set up. Noticed this too. Problem is that setup is the only(?) package in setup.ini with only source and no binary (for obvious reasons). The setup entry in setup.ini: setup sdesc: The Cygwin Net Distribution installer and updater program. category: System Net Utils version: 2.218.2.9-1 source: release/setup/setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 659936 9a2b1ee9d1d97208578b9535bb6018ec Note: no install: line. So Setup.exe still tries to download/install the binary which is not there, hence the Download Incomplete messages. Setup needs to accept that there are source only packages. I guess Robert is already aware of this. Ton van Overbeek P.S. Why is the contents of setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 only an other tar.bz2 file ? Why not rename the original tar.bz2 file, would save a few bytes.

The automake created tarball extracts into setup-0. If I use that tarball, then when you download updates, you'll overwrite the previous sources. Repacking them would be another step.

Re: postinstallation problems with apache_mod_auth_xxx modules

But this is a problem of the module naming in conjunction to apxs, which is used to patch /etc/httpd.conf. You can turn it the way you want: either apxs misbehaves detecting module internals or module naming is not for apxs. BTW, the same behaviour is seen on UNIX flavors.

setup CVS HEAD broken
Just a note: Chris's last checkin in ini.cc broken local dir parsing, so please don't send bug reports on this in. Chris, don't worry about fixing this, as I'm 80% through refactoring the find routine stuff and I've reinstated the missing lines in a completely different place anyway... The culprit was the remove of these lines: - findBuilder-parse_mirror = mirror; - ini_init (ini_file, findBuilder); with the result that yyparse was never given a stream to parse with. Rob

With that in mind, I'll point you to two of the three steps for building the packages, and I'll post the packaging script tonight when I am on the machine that has it. I had posted the script before but the machine it was on is no longer accessible, so I'll have to put it somewhere else. Be aware that you can start the first two steps and by the time that I post the packaging script in about 8 hours you still won't have built XFree86... 1) Follow the instructions in the Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide for downloading the source for XFree86 and building it. You'll want to grab the `xf-4_2-branch' of the source code. I think you would do that with: cvs checkout -r xf-4_2-branch xc Notice that some of the patches to the latest Xxserv package were not applied to the xf-4_2-branch (I don't think Alan keeps an xf-4_2-branch tree around) so you'll need to grab the default branch and copy the files from xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/ into your 4_2 tree. The relevant steps in the Contributor's Guide are here: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-native.html 2) After building XFree86 you'll need to create the XFree86 packages, which is very difficult. I've attempted to create a Cygwin-specific version of the instructions for this at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-distribution.html 3) Now you need to convert the XFree86 packages into Cygwin packages. This is done with the build.sh script that Ian Burrell wrote and I modified. I'll post this later tonight, but the basic idea is that you copy the XFree86 packages into a directory with build.sh, then run the script. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes on my 1200 Athlon with a pretty quick hard drive, so I wouldn't be surprised if it took up to an hour on older hardware. You'd better be really sure that you actually want to do this before you put any time into it.

I will follow the steps below and see if my result is different, but for some reason when I followed your directions (before you sent this mail) in the howto and double checked my process, the make process bombs out on imake.c, complaining about a imake.c:395: parse error before `1'. From what I see crosscompiling needs different defines? I'm not sure...despite that my will is strong and my desire to recompile is kindled by the desire to help in testing kde.

Be aware that you can start the first two steps and by the time that I post the packaging script in about 8 hours you still won't have built XFree86... 1) Follow the instructions in the Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide for downloading the source for XFree86 and building it.

Mark schrieb: I've been working on a script to help make this easier, but I've been stalled. This problem keeps coming up again and again. We need something that diagnoses the problem better (incrementally finding each problem, for example, the file and directory permissions). ssh provides little or no help in diagnosing the problem when it won't connect. This is true. There was one hint that was really golden: if you are in a domain and want to connect just over LAN another box in the same domain, the passwd and group files should be exact indentical since it is the same domain. So at first make sure that the passwd files are identical. Then look that the permissions are correct all over, /home/you and /etc directory. At last one point which needs to be investigated, if I'm in the passwd file as gerrit with uid 11002 and gid 10512 is it needed that the files in the /home/gerrit directory and subdirectories are owned be me and my group? I changed the ownership but I think at first it was a mess with my passwd and group files. OpenSSH setup just uses your current settings, so if the passwd group files are wrong, the ownership of the files will be wrong.

RE: MIT shared memory extension
I have prepared some more informations about this topic and before this is lost I send it to the list for archive purpose. :-) I don't see anything wrong with the patch :}. Unless cygipc get's dll'ised, an app can only link against one of cygipc or the cygwin1.dll implementation. When we release the cygserver IPC code, folk will have to recompile *anyway* to get the new functionality, and existing users won't be affected. For developers that want to mix and match, they can do the following: install cygipc. backup: sys/types.h ipc.h sem.h shm.h cygipc.a (and remove from the disk) libcygwin.a to a cygipc_backup tarball. patch newlib's sys/types.h. rebuild cygwin with the dll export patch included. install cygwin. backup: sys/types.h libcygwin.a ipc.h sem.h shm.h to a cygwin_ipc tarball. Now you can with a little effort switch between the cygwin and cygipc versions for compile time. For runtime there is no conflict. What about (debug-)printing ftok() returnvalue. I have written a testcase and have to do a #ifdef IS_CYGWIN_IPC printf(%ull,key); #else printf(%x,key); #endif But where to get the IS_CYGWIN_IPC ? I see an easier way to archive this. But this depends on an identical key_t type, which goes like the following (assuming, that cygwin ipc functions are exported, probably in the next cygwin release ?): install cygwin (ipc header goes into /usr/.. ) install cygipc (ipc header goes to /usr/local/.. ) so they can coexist. If the key_t are the same the only difference is a CFLAGS and LFLAGS setting compiling with cygipc Makefile snip CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -lcygipc snip $ make or on the command line $ CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -lcygipc make compiling with cygipc code Makefile snip CFLAGS=[-DUSE_CYGIPC_IPC] # if different key_t type LFLAGS= snip $ make or on the command line $ make Thats all.

Setup.exe does not like its own source (was: setup.exe 2.218.2.8/9 broken)
Chris Down wrote: I regularly update my Cygwin installation ( Win2k) and I do not usually get any problems. However I recently updated using setup-2.218.2.9 and the Download Incomplete window popped up. After investigating I found that this only occurred if I tried to do an internet install on the Setup sources. If I omit this everything is fine. I use mirrors.rcn.net for installs. This is repeatable on my set up. Noticed this too. Problem is that setup is the only(?) package in setup.ini with only source and no binary (for obvious reasons). The setup entry in setup.ini: setup sdesc: The Cygwin Net Distribution installer and updater program. category: System Net Utils version: 2.218.2.9-1 source: release/setup/setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 659936 9a2b1ee9d1d97208578b9535bb6018ec Note: no install: line. So Setup.exe still tries to download/install the binary which is not there, hence the Download Incomplete messages. Setup needs to accept that there are source only packages. I guess Robert is already aware of this. Ton van Overbeek P.S. Why is the contents of setup-2.218.2.9-1-src.tar.bz2 only an other tar.bz2 file ?

Setup problem: Download Incomplete
First, thanks for cygwin, xfree, and a great development environment
on Windows!
I don't think this is a big deal, but I haven't seen it mentioned in
the list so far and it is possible you don't know... I'm experiencing
the above error message from setup:
Setup version 2.218.2.9
Windows 2000, SP2
Here's how to reproduce it.
1. Run setup, selecting Run the program as the following user:
2. Login as Administrator (BTW, not a bug but an irritation, when you
type return the mouse is warpped away from its current location so
that the main Cygwin Setup screen does not have the focus {with
focus follows mouse, Active Tracking set}.)
3. Click Next through the following screens using the defaults:
Main Screen
Choose A Download Source
Select Root Install Directory (d:/usr/cygwin)
Select Local Package Directory (d:/usr/Archive/cygwin)
Select Your Internet Connection
Choose A Download Site (ftp://mirrors.rcn.net)
4. At the Select packages to install screen, click the All Default
arrow-ring to select All Install, then next. There is nothing to
install.
5. I then get the dialog Download Incomplete. Try again?. If I
select Yes, I just go into an infinite loop getting Download
Incomplete dialogs over and over. If I select No, I get the
dialog Can't open (null) for reading: No such file.
In an attempt to clear the problem I deleted all files and directories
under my local package directory (except setup.exe) and I still get
the problem. My installation appears to be complete and correct, but
I don't use most packages in cygwin (e.g., tcl, inetd, tex, apache).
Thanks again for the great software!
Cheers,

Remote dirs in fhandler_disk_file::fstat()?
Hi there,
I have been reading cygwin code trying to understand it better, hoping
to contribute to it later. Pretty cool treasure trove of Windows code
I must say. I have a question on fhandler_disk_file.cc (rev 1.9). In
fhandler_disk_file::fstat(), line 114 onwards there is this code:
else if (pc-exists ())
{
/* Unfortunately, the above open may fail if the file exists, though.
So we have to care for this case here, too. */
WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;
HANDLE handle;
buf-st_nlink = 1;
if (pc-isdir () pc-isremote ())
buf-st_nlink = num_entries (pc-get_win32 ());
Should that be `... ! pc-isremote ())'? At least the code above,
various ChangeLog and cvs log messages and the message from Corinna
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2000-03/msg00091.html)
suggest so. If so, I'll be happy to whip up a patch.
(I do not yet have a suitable cygwin development environment, so I can't
test code changes myself. I am hoping to set this up in the next couple
of months so I can step through the code in gdb to understand it better.
Hence apologies for this somewhat academic question.)

Annoying cmd console spawn with remote access and Win 2000
Hi, This issue really drives me mad: Description: I ssh form an unix machine (LOCAL) to cygwin machine that runs Windows 2000 (REMOTE). I then run nmake (Visual C++) on REMOTE. nmake, in turn spawns several processess (one by one) to compile a VC++ project. Problem: As each process is spawned a new cmd console appears ON THE SCREEN of the REMOTE machine. The status/result of compilation is printed on this very console. Then the cmd console is automatically closed. Nothing is printed on my local console. In this situaltion I am practically unable to work remotely as I don't see any warnings/errors produced by VC++ compiler. Question: Is there a way to force the output to a parent console? Note: The above scenario worked perfectly (well, nearly... despite Ctrl-C ;-) ) for me under Windows NT. Thank you very much in advance for all your help.

Re: name: GNU/Cygwin system
Michael Smith wrote: I'm not trolling (and maybe for all I know, this has already been talked out) but I wanted to suggest that it might be appropriate for Cygwin to describe and advertise itself as the GNU/Cygwin system, giving credit where credit it very much due -- just as Debian does by describing itself as a GNU/Linux system. IMO, the fact the GNU system (not the Linux kernel) is really the essential ingredient is pointed to by the fact that many of the same concerns that affect maintainers of the various Linux distros (and especially, maintainers of packages on those distros) also very much affect Cygwin maintainers and packagers. For example, it seems like representatives from Cygwin should be involved with the Linux Standard Base effort: http://www.linuxbase.org/ And the effort should be called GNU Standard Base instead (though I realize that's not s ever actually going to happen). Yes. It's already been discussed and dismissed. A non-troll would have the decency to search the mailing list archives first and verify that YES, this issue has been discussed already, and acknowledge the points raised in the previous discussion -- BEFORE bringing it up again. IMNSHO, the GNU Glory Brigade can go to hell. I appreciate what GNU/FSF/RMS has done for truly free software -- but turning around and attempting to claim ownership and naming rights on every piece of free software on earth is NOT acceptable. Cygwin (the platform) has software from apache (not GNU), XFree86 (not GNU), openssh/openssl (not GNU), pine (not GNU), unzip/zip (not GNU)...and many others that are NOT GNU. Cygwin is not GNU/Cygwin. For the same reasons, Linux is not GNU/Linux. Anyone who thinks differently is buying in to the cult of personality (sic) of RMS. Just because Debian has followed the pied piper doesn't mean we have to line up with the other children. And on a cygwin-specific note, I'm sure RMS doesn't want anything to do with us. I think he's probably a bit PO'ed that ANY GNU software is running on a proprietary platform like windows. He views that as enabling behavior...enabling people to stay locked in the proprietary prison. For RMS, like all ideologues, it is all or nothing -- there is no half loaf. I sure he doesn't WANT the name GNU associated with Cygwin/Windows. (To be clear: I'm glad RMS/FSF/GNU is out there. The world NEEDS such ideologues -- to keep the rest of us honest. But that doesn't mean we must always agree with them or obey them.) Further, for the same reasons, no GNU-purist would EVER have put the hundreds of hours into porting and packaging that the volunteer maintainers here have done -- for a platform that exists on top of a (gasp, horror) proprietary OS. As Robert has pointed out, the contributions of those maintainers are equally if not more important to cygwin than those of GNU. Without the VM's, there would be no GNU software -- or non-GNU software -- on the cygwin platform. Without GNU, we would be missing many packages -- some very important, like gcc. So, if we rename stuff, it would be just as valid to say, as Robert does, that it should be cgf/djd/cv/ed/rc/lh/eb/jt/Cygwin. But English is not Entish -- we don't tell the entire lifestory of a project within the project's name. As far as the LSB goes, currently it applies only to linux-based systems; GNU/Hurd isn't out yet. But, there's no reason why the LSB wouldn't apply equally well to BSD systems, which don't necessarily have any GNU software on them. So GNU-SB is also incorrect. (The GNU Glory Brigade reminds me of US Senator Byrd of West Virginia -- there's not a bridge or a hospital or park bench built in that state that isn't named after Robert C. Byrd. They don't call Byrd the king of pork for nothing.) To tell you the truth, I don't see there being much hope -- or reason for -- the LSB to take cygwin into account. Thanks to various microsoftisms, we're too weird. Non-ELF shared libraries split into runtime and linktime pieces. Runtime loader works completely differently than ld.so, so library versioning is handled completely differently. Then, we have two different windowing systems...native and X which must coexist. The best I can see is for cygwin to take what LSB does, and try to follow it as best we can while making allowances for the uniqueness of the platform. We are the best ones to judge where those allowances must be made -- not them. While the linux distributors can (eventually) reach a compromise position that all linux distributions can follow, there is no compromise here -- they'd have to put special case exceptions in their document specifically for cygwin. But there's no need to uglify the LSB with all that: What is the main purpose of the LSB? Binary interoperability, so that third party software vendors can ship ONE package that is guaranteed to work on every LSB-compliant Linux platform. Doesn't really

New News: === I have contributed fetchmail-5.9.11-1 to the standard Cygwin distribution. The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended for use over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections. Fetchmail supports every remote-mail protocol currently in use on the Internet (POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all IMAPs, ESMTP ETRN, IPv6, and IPSEC) for retrieval. Then Fetchmail forwards the mail through SMTP so you can read it through your favorite mail client. See the fetchmail home page for more details: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/ Please read the README file: /usr/doc/Cygwin/fetchmail-5.9.11.README since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc. I would like to thank Madoka Machitani for his pre-compiled fetchmail and procmail binaries and for the patches necessary for proper operation under Windows 9x/Me. His work on the Cygwin ports made it much easier for me to become the Cygwin maintainer. Old News: === To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

On my W2K cygwin inserted (only) my local admin account to passwd, while I log in with my domain admin account. So id, ls -l etc. all look fine (admin admin), but nothing works, cause it is the false admin account (the false SID). OK, you mention, that you only have local users and no domain users, but make sure, that cygwin thinks the same ;-) I have deleted regenerated both the passwd group files a couple of times while playing around with various edits. It is easy to misconfigure them so that logging in via ssh fails, but when they are fresh generated via mkpasswd mkgroup the ssh login succeeds as recorded in the event log, then the connection is immediately dropped. I assume that is because bash or sh also immediately exit when run from a command line under that user. When I run id under anything except the system account it hangs at 100% cpu. It also makes no difference when I set the account policies for the user to 'act as system', 'adjust memory quotoas', 'replace process token'. I didn't have any problems at all with the W2k install. This all happened when I moved to .net server. So far I haven't seen anyone acknowledge that they have cygwin working under .net server, so I don't know if the problem is local to my system, or something that MS has changed in account handling due to their recent 'focus on security'.

OK, you mention, that you only have local users and no domain users, but make sure, that cygwin thinks the same ;-) I have deleted regenerated both the passwd group files a couple of times while playing around with various edits. It is easy to misconfigure them so that logging in via ssh fails, but when they are fresh generated via mkpasswd mkgroup the ssh login succeeds as recorded in the event log, then the connection is immediately dropped. I assume that is because bash or sh also immediately exit when run from a command line under that user. When I run id under anything except the system account it hangs at 100% cpu. It also makes no difference when I set the account policies for the user to 'act as system', 'adjust memory quotoas', 'replace process token'. I didn't have any problems at all with the W2k install. This all happened when I moved to .net server. So far I haven't seen anyone acknowledge that they have cygwin working under .net server, so I don't know if the problem is local to my system, or something that MS has changed in account handling due to their recent 'focus on security'.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New Cygwin Package: procmail-3.22-6
New News: === I have contributed procmail-3.22-6 to the standard Cygwin distribution. The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. The procmail program is used by Red Hat Linux for all local mail delivery. In addition to just delivering mail, procmail can be used for automatic filtering, presorting, and other mail handling jobs. Procmail is also the basis for the SmartList mailing list processor. See the procmail home page for more details: http://www.procmail.org/ Please read the README file: /usr/doc/Cygwin/procmail-3.22.README since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc. I would like to thank Madoka Machitani for his pre-compiled fetchmail and procmail binaries and for the patches necessary for proper operation under Windows 9x/Me. His work on the Cygwin ports made it much easier for me to become the Cygwin maintainer. Old News: === To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

RE: umount doesn't umount
Indeed Cygwin thinks that because the name has a colon it's a win32 path. In mount_info::conv_to_win32_path /* An MS-DOS spec has either a : or a \. If this is found, short circuit most of the rest of this function. */ if (strpbrk (src_path, :\\) != NULL || slash_unc_prefix_p (src_path)) Maybe I'll have to use something that's not a colon. But I did find a way to clean up the mess. If mount looks like this $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /blah:a type user (textmode) $umount c: seems to clean it up. $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) But maybe the correct test for Win32ness is if it's a letter followed by a colon. Or if the colon is the 2nd letter in the name. That way colons can be used later. -- 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/

For those of us who did it the wrong way (mine is set to H:\), how can I change the local package directory and still keep all the current package information? Is it automatic? Just change it in setup next time you run it. If you want to keep all the cached data, just copy the directories that look like ftp%3f and their contents to whereever your new local package dir will be. BTW: the default is the dir you run setup from, so you must have created c:\cygwin, copied setup there, and then run it...right? Well, it appears to be automatic since I moved the latest/ contrib/ and http[etc]mirrors.rcn.net[more etc]/ to a seperate drive (not in the path) and setup still ran correctly. I can only conclude that the information about installed packages is stored somewhere else, and that the latest/ contrib/ and [that other directory] are only used to store downloaded packages. On the other hand, would it be a good idea for setup.exe to tag its directories in some way, like with a zero-byte file, so that it doesn't take just any old setup.ini file it finds? Mmmm. I'll think about this. I don't want to interfere with users using mirroring tools.

That said, however, if setup.exe is actually *defaulting* to using an already populated directory, then that is not good. The default should be changed.

The first is a W2K Professional on a Toshiba Laptop, the second is a W2K Advanced Server on a desktop. The first works like grease lightening, the second runs like a dog in xfree and postgres (indeed I can't even run initDB). Both have the same anti-virus software setup? I notice massive performance differences depending on which product I use and how it's configured.

Well, obviously this is very funny! Yes, it was funny. *WE* make you mad because we provided software to you gratis, the does almost everything you want -- except for one thing: redirecting the output of non-cygwin processes thru a cygwin tty. (read that again: redirecting a NON-cygwin process...) Seems a rather ungrateful response, to me. cgf's humorous reply was a way of pointing out that you usually catch more flies with honey than vinegar. How about: (a) I have a problem. Here's the description. Can anyone explain why it is happening, and suggest a solution. I have searched the relevant mailing list archives, and found the following responses: url url, but as you can see, they do not directly address my problem. instead of (b) You guys suck! I'm angry! I spent all day downloading cygwin and it doesn't do what I want! FIX IT!!! NOW! (Honestly, your question was closer to (a) than to (b), but the This really makes me mad! is rather accusatory, and changes the whole tone of your message) Do you think that I want to use this crappy Window$ stuff? No, I am forced to! This OS was bought for me by my employer and I am obliged to be happy with it!!! The same with VC++ and so on. THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP! No need for SCREAMING. What is the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r'? What is your CYGWIN variable set to? Have you tried with CYGWIN=... containing tty and not containing tty? --Chuck -- 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/
