Hmm, did I get something wrong? I don't think so :) My point is that it wasn't clear if the patch is actually necessary with latest Cygwin and if it wont hide some Cygwin bug. From the announcement one also can see that this patch is the only difference to 2.5.5-1. Btw from the original announcement that Lapo made, I see that he suggested 'a test period' though I dont know if this should be interpreted that the package should be marked 'test'.
--enable-auto-import extension
This is an update of Egor Duda's original version. I have made no
substantive changes, except
1) remove the minimal portion which has already been accepted into
CVS as an interim measure (August 2002) while we were waiting for Egor's
copyright assignment for binutils to get in to FSF.
2) minor formatting changes so that it applies cleanly against
current CVS.
I've tested the result, and it works as advertised -- and just as well
as it did back in June/July when we went thru this the FIRST time.
Please apply. The concept has already been approved for incorporation;
we were just waiting for Egor's assignment. Which I devoutly hope has
made it in sometime in the past five months.
In
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-08/msg00548.html
cgf recommended that:
If Nick can verify your assignment status, then I'd like to suggest that
your original patch just be checked in.
And again here, cgf wrote:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-08/msg00286.html
What's the status of this change? I'd vote for including it in ld
iff it is only invoked when the option is specifically used. Then
we can add the appropriate changes to cygwin, make a new release, and
then make a binutils release as well.
The condition cgf specified is obeyed by the attached patch (with the
exception of the minimal portion which has already been accepted into
CVS, and which cannot be conditionalized in that manner.)
The original patch as modified by subsequent discussion is here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-07/msg00035.html
Although it was first proposed here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-06/msg00757.html
Since my changes were minimal, the ownership of this patch is still
Egor. (If it matters, I have an assignment on file already).

Re: initscripts package available for review/upload
I borrowed a Win98 laptop for the night and am pleased to say that initscripts and sysvinit worked (at least with the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd script provided) with no configuration necessary. This is very nice, thanks very much Sergey! I was unable to track down a workable console cable so unfortunately I still do not know if agetty works. My only suggestion is that init-config might do a simple check for Win9x/ME systems and bail out without doing anything (maybe a message about getting a real computer) since running init-config gives some ugly errors. Of course this is a stupid thing to do on Win98 sincethere is no NT service, but the ssh-host-config script at least just bails out: $ ssh-host-config Generating /etc/ssh_host_key Generating /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Generating /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key Generating /etc/ssh_config file Generating /etc/sshd_config file Added ssh to /c/WINDOWS/SERVICES Host configuration finished. Have fun! $ With init-config, this happens: Do you want to set up init to run as NT service?

Re: how does xwin resolve ip addresses
Hi, At 3Com's behest I tried the card in another laptop that had another installation of the card: Yes the card works in another laptop, an xp home one on the same network. Also the ipconfig works on this machine as well. It looks therefore like a driver problem, either a bad installation on my part or some conflicting software. I will do the following : 1) re-install the software 2) check dll dependencies and versions between the two machines I'll reply with the results. , and I'll do the same here. Ago, I'll try these changes first because it looks much like a bad software installation and nothing to do with cygwin. Unless you'd like to try and get it working with this installation first, in which case I'll delay the changes.

Re: Problems with xwinclip version 0.5/0.6
Hi! o xwinclip-Test06: The first difference I see when using the latest version of xwinclip is the marked regions in X windows stay marked after releasing the left mouse button !! I have installed the xwinclip-Test06, but the selection not only dissapears, after I release the mouse button, but it flashes continously, and I can't paste the selection either under X, nor in windows.

-pseudocolor option doesn't work. Please help!
Hi! I have tried several option, to invoke th pseudocolor mode, but unfortunatelly my program says : Cannot allocate colors. The program works however under ReflectionX and eXceed. The program is unfortunatelly not free, and I can't share any other information about it. I know, that it's inconvenient, but I can't do anything to change it. The options, that I try, are: - run XWin with -pseudocolor option - run XWin with -depth 8 -fullscreen options - run XWin with -engine 1 in 256 color mode With any of theese options my application doesn't start at all.

I have installed the xwinclip-Test06, but the selection not only dissapears, after I release the mouse button, but it flashes continously, and I can't paste the selection either under X, nor in windows. Has anybody any ideea, why is this so? The second problem may be related to the first, given the flashing continuously. It seems like the application you are using remotely tries to capture the x primary selection as well. This release of xwinclip claims the x selection as soon as a selection has been made. The other application may be doing the same, hence the continuous flashing. You can try using the version I uploaded to the list. It needs to be compiled though, and if you have the latest version of cygwin it probably won't work. I should be able to release a new version of the xwinclip to the mailing list tonight which should work with the latest version, I hope. Regards, Chris _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Yes and no. Yes, you can take just the binary stuff you need. No, because you must provide the *sources* of all GPL'd applications you distribute to your target audience due to licensing restrictions. This includes especially the sources of the Cygwin DLL itself. There is an option to buy a special Cygwin license which gets you around this slightly. That's typically only useful if you're planning to distribute a proprietary application but that's not what you want, apparently. Other than that, you can only circumvent this licensing problem by not distributing the build environment at all. Just point your customers to the cygwin web page in that case. In theory that should suffice most needs.

Unless I'm mistaken, codepage:oem is for the DOS character set, and codepage:ansi (the default) is for the Unix one...

RE: Is RSA authentication on SSH still broken?
chmod 700 ~ \ ^^^ This is your problem. By setting home and .ssh to 700 you disallow sshd to stat() ~/.ssh. Cygwin has two chances to retrieve information about a file or directory, by either calling FindFileFirst() or by trying to open the file and calling various Win32 access functions. FindFileFirst() requires to have read permissions on the parent directory, opening the file/dir requires read permissions on it. If home as well as .ssh are 700, sshd has neither of these rights == The check for .ssh fails. OK. So, it appears that Cygwin users of openssh have one of two options: 1. chmod 700 ~ chgrp 18 ~/.ssh chmod 750 ~/.ssh or 2. chmod 755 ~ chmod 700 ~/.ssh Do you have a recommendation on which of these two options is more secure? -- 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/

On Mon, 11 Nov 2002, Harig, Mark A. wrote: chmod 700 ~ \ ^^^ This is your problem. By setting home and .ssh to 700 you disallow sshd to stat() ~/.ssh. Cygwin has two chances to retrieve information about a file or directory, by either calling FindFileFirst() or by trying to open the file and calling various Win32 access functions. FindFileFirst() requires to have read permissions on the parent directory, opening the file/dir requires read permissions on it. If home as well as .ssh are 700, sshd has neither of these rights == The check for .ssh fails. OK.

Lesstif compilation problem and setup.exe
I decided to try compiling the latest version of Lesstif to get my feet wet doing compilations of packages. Download and untaring went well. Compilation seemed to go ok also until I'd gotten about 3/4 of the way through. Then Cygwin refused to continue compiling. I was in fvwm2 at the time. When I flipped back to the window for Cygwin it had quite a few messages about having run out of process space and that it could no longer fork a new process. I could not even exit Cygwin. (ie: typing exit just generated a new error.) I decided that maybe fvwm2 was the culprit (after all X does suck up a lot of process space sometimes) and so I rebooted my system, got back into Cygwin, and recompiled. Same results. My System: Windows98se box Memory: 512mb HDD: 30GB (17GB used) Motherboard graphics, sound, etc Cygwin version: (currently downloading latest version to give this a go again [as I type]) Release available on August 5th, 2002. Full installation download. Notes: I was using tcsh under fvwm2. Nothing fancy and I just did a make (no options) after doing the ./configure (no options). There didn't seem to be any problems with the compilations (no errors only a few warnings). It just seemed to be the number of iterations make had to go through which caused it to run out of process space. If you need a screen dump - let me know. I can either try to capture the text itself (didn't work before but I can try again) or do a screen capture (found a nice on-line product). Didn't want to post the screen capture. Setup.exe: I'd like to propose a couple of changes to setup.exe: 1.Make the dialog box resizable. It would be nice to be able to see the entire set of information about what is going to be downloaded without having to scroll back and forth. 2.Change the options on what to do so Update is shown.

So, can I link this file with a native win32 software developped with Ms Visual C++ 6 ? I don't know much about the Unix functions for dynamic linking but I have attempted to determine the similarities to Windows functions for dynamic linking. It was my intent to write a utility that was as platform-independent as possible. It is my understanding that the Unix functions are different from the Windows equivalents. It is my understanding that Unix does not have the equivalent of implicit linking; that the Unix functions are similar to the (explicit linking) LoadLibrary function and related functions in Windows. The significance of that is that the utility you want to use is probably not compatible at the source code level with Windows. In other words, it is not likely to work to just recompile it using Visual C++. In a Windows environment, a DLL might not be compatible with a program compiled with a different compiler. In fact a DLL compiled by VC might not be compatible with another DLL or program compiled by VC.

Re: binutils 20021107-2
Robert Collins wrote: But, I think it's overkill to define system libs that should not be re-exported as anything in /usr/lib or something similarly broad. Why? *anything* in /usr/lib is able to be linked to from multiple packages. If one package creates a dll from there, then we will get this problem. We're currently *manually* excluding *how many* libs? fortran. gcc. stdc++. cygwin. And thats from memory. Do we want to hack ld when a test g++-3.3 is released? IMO No. No need. If we don't include the trailing '.' in the basename exclusion list, the same test can match libtstdc++.a libstdc++-2.a libstdc++-3.3.a or whatever. Chris just committed a patch to binutils CVS that does this generalization. I think that nothing specific to gcc should be handled by ld. If gcc knows about file foo, be that mingw specific, or c++ specific, it should tell ld to do the right thing. This centralises the knowledge about the exceptions. Ideally, sure -- but that'll require a LOT of info to be passed (see below). But the fact is, ld already incorporates LOTS of knowledge about the way gcc does things -- and not just on cygwin/win32. binutils is tightly tied to gcc (and vice versa), like it or not. On the other hand, we're really arguing about a problem that hasn't bit anyone yet. By excluding the main (gcc) static runtime libs from re-export, and the main (platform) static runtime libs like libmingw32 libmingwex from re-export -- we pretty much cover all the important bases. True. My suspicion though is that as folk find .dll's easier to build, with the libtool dll support hitting mainstream as of(?1.4?) it will be more common to link against something. Let me give you another contrived example: I create a static lib foo (say readline for arguments sake). It gets installed into /usr/local/lib. Someone else makes a library bar depending on foo. This library is a .dll. It gets installed into /usr/local/lib. Aha! But that can't happen given the recent changes in libtool. If any dependency is static, then libtool will refuse to create a DLL (unless: my changes exempt the platform and compiler libs from this check. But, I don't hardcode them in libtool; libtool computes the stdlib names from gcc and ld output) Now, if you're building a DLL by hand then sure, problems can happen. But as you say, DLL-making will only become widespread with the libtool dll support hitting mainstream. 1.4.x had a limited version, which still required lots of sourcecode modification and __declspec magic. 1.5.x will use auto-import, and life will become VERY easy. That's mainstream. 1.4.x was an attempt, but turned out to be too difficult in practice. Every app that links against both foo and bar (and if bar is a libtool library, it will suck in foo for us) will get duplicate symbols. Nope. See above. This is why I agree, in principle, with the recent changes in libtool that made things suck briefly. It was a lot of work to fix -- but the general idea don't build sharedlibs that depend on static libs is a good one. And is still in place, even in my patched versions of recent libtool. Anything else is obviously a corner case, since it hasn't bit anyone yet -- and the fix is for that person to specifically exclude the static lib that bit them by using --exclude-libs. That is *a* fix. Why doesn't it bite folk on linux or BSD? Why should it bite anyone here when *we can make ld do the right thing*. It *did* bite linux/BSD folks -- but since ELF has provisions for symbol overriding, it didn't really have too much of an effect. We don't have those provisions; duplicate symbols are a major problem in pei-386. That's why the recent changes to libtool prohibit buiding sharedlibs that depend on static libs -- to avoid these problems (even the minor ones on linux/BSD). In my libtool changes, I'm only arguing for an *exception* to that algorithm when the static libs in question are gcc-provided or platform-provided ones, that already have don't re-export me provisions in ld. [but I'm not hardcoding that knowledge; it's computed on-the-fly from gcc/ld output] But that's a libtool discussion. In binutils, we already have a don't re-export me list. I think that the following heuristic is reasonable for keeping that list short: 1) libraries provided by the gcc compiler suite 2) win32 (cygwin, mingw, pw32) platform libraries that are commonly available only as static libs. [remember, this code is in pe-dll.c and only applies to win32ish platforms] We already refuse to re-export symbols imported from DLLs. So, we only need to worry about standard libs that are available only as static libs. Right now, that's a short list: the gcc libs, and libmingw32 + libmingwex. The end. Dropping the final '.' in the matchstring, and we can exclude all versioned instances of the gcc libs, without making the list too long. We only want to export static archive symbols

Where it runs or what it Does?? (RFC)
[posted today to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; posted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (via Gmane) in order to try to get Cygwin's worthies in the loop]. --- [[EMAIL PROTECTED] being asked:] Hi Good Folks, namespace advice requested. I have written an extension module that I need to name and get uploaded to CPAN. My Subject: line means that as I see it there are two common approaches to naming modules: where it runs (BSD::Foo), or what it does (Filesys::Bar). My inclination is to try to use 'what it does' FIRST and only resort to where it runs when I need to make it clear that there's a special purpose for the module; that it is platform-specific in some sense. I think this is (at least partially) correct Perl philosophy. The oddball module i've written is for doing some path manipulations on Cygwin. Cygwin is and yet isn't a platform; it's a posix overlayer running above Microsoft Windows. It emulates *nix to such a degree that normally we don't think about anything Cygwin-specific needing to be added; Cygwin Perl is just a very basic vanilla *nix perl with no special functionality added. Contrast with ActivePerl, which is Win32 Perl and that means special namespaces defined and all sorts of extra stuff (modules) thrown in. But there's a little fly (in my ointment). Cygwin Perl can run in all sorts of different contexts and be used for many uses. Someday somewhere somebody is going to be using Cygwinperl and want to have it tell another application FooMe.exe (thru a 'system()' call, for ex.) that it wants FooMe to do something with the file /cygdrive/r/obscure/directory/dirtypictures.jpg or ~/.initme_rc or /tmp/*.doc. And that app FooMe is a Windows app that knows nothing about posix-style paths and will upchuck on the argument. In fact, I think this HAS already happened, amazingly, to somebody, somewhere ;-) . So this module will offer the very simple service of some subroutines that will take a path as an input arg and return a path. There are four subs right now (the XSUBS are named something longer; these are perl subs): posixpath win32path fullposixpath fullwin32path And they do just about what you'd think. They access the Cygwin C API through XS glue. One trouble is that conceptually the persons involved with perl on Cygwin don't all want any sort of Cygwin:: namespace and don't really agree that there's anything unusual about Cygwinperl that differentiates it from any generic *nix perl. I know better: on Cygwin, there is always going to be more than one canonical-ly-correct way to refer to a file by path name (!!): /posixstyle/file.name--VS-- R:\something\mounted\to\posixstyle\file.name --and-- R:/something/mounted/to/posixstyle/file.name Which last, Cygwin is also perfectly happy to accept and is IMHO the ideal happy medium or lingua franca for most hybrid situations on Cygwin. People are calling this a mixed path. That's a difference. A psuedo-filesystem difference, IMO. But like it or not, find it 'easy to categorize' or not, there IS a difference (between generic *nix perl and Cygwin perl). So my present analysis is that my module belongs in a base namespace of Filesys:: and maybe could be named CygwinPaths? I think it would keep the maintainer of Cygwin Perl happy -- or should -- if named like this. What do YOU think? Best, Soren A -- conway: unit of mind expansion.

I am doing this on cygwin with W98 SE: $ uname -a CYGWIN_98-4.10 MICHA 1.3.13(0.62/3/2) 2002-10-13 23:15 i586 unknown I have these three files (+ the stuff created by autoconf etc): x.F $ cat configure.ac dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script. AC_INIT(x,1.0) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE dnl Checks for programs. AC_PROG_MAKE_SET AC_PROG_F77 dnl Checks for libraries. dnl Checks for header files. dnl Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics. dnl Checks for library functions. AC_OUTPUT(Makefile) $ cat Makefile.am bin_PROGRAMS = x x_SOURCES = x.F Then I ran $ aclocal $ autoconf $ automake -a $ touch NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog $ automake -a $ configure That went all fine. Then I do a make: $ make g77 -DPACKAGE_NAME=\x\ -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\x\ -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\1.0\ - DPACKAGE_STRING=\x\ 1.0\ -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\\ -DPACKAGE=\x\ -DVERSION= \1.0\ -I. -I. @CPPFLAGS@ -g -O2 -c -o x.o `test -f 'x.F' || echo './'`x.F g77: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make: *** [x.o] Error 1 Why is there a @CPPFLAGS@ ? Isn't that supposed to be replaced by some real flags? Did I miss something in my configure.ac/Makefile.am?

Re: NetPBM JPEG2000?
Hallo Bryan, Am Montag, 11. November 2002 um 19:21 schriebst du: what about netpbm support for jpeg2000? Is there already somethng included or is it planned? Netpbm now (Release 9.12) contains Pamtojp2k and Jp2ktopam, which are based on the Jasper library (which is included in the Netpbm package). Great, I believe that it will help very much to get jpeg2000 to a broader audience, and you wanted to say: Release: netpbm latest - source 10.12 November 9, 2002 As we probably noted before, you can also use the 'jasper' program that comes with the original Jasper library package. It doesn't handle Netpbm formats as well, though. I like it to have all at one place, since I'm using netpbm already it is nice to have jasper included now.

However, CPPFLAGS are only set by the AC_PROG_CC/AC_PROG_CPP macros.

Cygwin Emacs-X uses 99% of cpu
I installed X windows, WindowMaker, and the cygwin X11 emacs a few days ago and it seemed to work fine at that time. But now when I try to run emacs from WindowMaker (or TWM) it starts sucking up all of the CPU (99%). If I run it in the background (via command line with or RUN from the WindowMaker menu) no window appears. If I run it from a command line not in the background, a window appears but it never seems to finish loading. Because it worked that first time I must have something not configured right, but I'm not sure what would be different now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: How to read TAR diskette on Windows98/Me
To partially answer my own question which is sort of hinted at in the documentation: On WindowsNT/2K/XP you can read a floppy using Windows API: CreateFile(\\.\\A:,...) and ReadFile(...) which I guess is close enough to map to the normal UNIX way of reading raw devices (/dev/fd0), but on Windows95/98/Me you need to use CreateFile(\\.\\vwin32,...) and then DeviceIoControl() to read the sectors from the disk. Simple enough, just fill in a few magic numbers, a 0 to read, or a 1 to write, and specify the device number (A: is 1, B: is 2, ...) and then start sector (512 byte sectors) and number of sectors. Searching www.google.com for vwin32.vxd tells the story. The best short sample is code is http://www.codeguru.com/system/ReadSector.html which seems to work for all Windows versions (uses ReadFile or DeviceIoControl where necessary). Now if someone could just plug this into the /dev/fd0 handling code. I am also interested in how to do this for tapes, as /dev/st0 works for WindowsNT/2K/XP, but I'm sure you have to do similar steps to read tapes. I haven't found that one yet. -- 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/
Printf routine incorrectly prints NaN for -Inf
gcc version 3.2 20020818 (prerelease) printf (%g, log(0)); This prints NaN instead of -Inf as it should (and did in the past). A check of the bit pattern returned shows that that log(0) returns a bit pattern corresponding to -Inf, but printf prints NaN instead. I am not sure which C library is being used (a bug report to gcc folks got the response that newlib is the culprit). However, the compiler option -print-libgcc-file-name tells me it is looking for libgcc.a. So I am confused as to who to report the bug to.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygutils-1.1.3-1
The cygutils package has been updated to version 1.1.3. Changes: o removed 'last' and 'utmpdump' implementations (these are now availabe from the sysvinit package) o mkshortcut now uses popt for option handling, instead of getopt o other non-user-visible changes WARNING: if you have already installed the sysvinit package, you will need to REINSTALL sysvinit AFTER updating cygutils. Yes, that means you have to run setup.exe a total of two SEPARATE times; once to update cygutils and once to reinstall sysvinit. If you have NOT YET installed sysvinit, you may upgrade cygutils AND install sysvinit during the same setup.exe run; setup will do the right thing. --Chuck To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: autoconf-2.54-1
The autoconf package has been updated to version 2.54-1. Recall that this package is not the REAL autoconf. It's a set of wrapper scripts that call the REAL autoconf from autoconf-stable or autoconf-devel, depending on the needs of your target. See this message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00100.html Changes: o improve handling the '--trace' option, so that it actually works. o add support for the new '--prepend-include' option o the real autom4te allows reordering its options. That's hard to do in our wrapper script. Since old autoconf-2.13 doesn't have or call autom4te, we don't really NEED a fancy wrapper script for autom4te. So, change the autom4te wrapper to unconditionally forward to autoconf-devel's autom4te, and pass all of its options without parsing. -- Chuck Wilson To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

(PR/358) * Reorder arguments passed to a couple of commands, so things works when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1. * Fix a regex that can cause Perl to segfault on large input. (Debian Bug#162583) * Fix distribution of packages that have some sources defined conditionally, as in the `Conditional compilation using Automake conditionals' example of the manual. * Fix spurious test suite failures on IRIX. * Don't report a required variable as undefined if it has been defined conditionally for the right conditions. * Fix cleaning of the /tmp subdirectory used by `make distcheck', in case `make distcheck' fails. * Fix distribution of included Makefile fragment, so we don't create spurious directories in the distribution. (PR/366) * Don't complain that a target lacks `.$(EXEEXT)' when it has it. New in 1.7: * Autoconf 2.54 is required. * `aclocal' and `automake' will no longer warn about obsolete configure macros. This is done by `autoconf -Wobsolete'. * AM_CONFIG_HEADER, AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS and AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL are obsolete (although still supported). You should use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS, and AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ instead. `autoupdate' can upgrade `configure.ac' for you. * Support for per-program and per-library `_CPPFLAGS'. * New `ctags' target (builds CTAGS files). * Support for -Wmumble and -Wno-mumble, where mumble is a warning category (see `automake --help' or the manual for a list of them). * Honor the WARNINGS environment variable. * Omit the call to depcomp when using gcc3: call the compiler directly. * A new option, std-options, tests that programs support --help and --version when `make installcheck' is run. This is enabled by --gnits. * Texinfo rules now support the `ps' and `pdf' targets. * Info files are now created in the build directory, not the source directory. * info_TEXINFOS supports files in subdirectories (this requires Texinfo 4.1 or greater). * `make distcheck' will enforce DESTDIR support by attempting a DESTDIR install. * `+=' can be used in conditionals, even if the augmented variable was defined for another condition. * Makefile fragments (inserted with `include') are always distributed. * Use Autoconf's --trace interface to inspect configure.ac and get a more accurate view of it. * Add support for extending aclocal's default macro

(RFC) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 17:56:00 -0500 --- [[EMAIL PROTECTED] being asked:] Hi Good Folks, namespace advice requested. I have written an extension module that I need to name and get uploaded to CPAN. My Subject: line means that as I see it there are two common approaches to naming modules: where it runs (BSD::Foo), or what it does (Filesys::Bar). My inclination is to try to use 'what it does' FIRST and only resort to where it runs when I need to make it clear that there's a special purpose for the module; that it is platform-specific in some sense. I think this is (at least partially) correct Perl philosophy. The oddball module i've written is for doing some path manipulations on Cygwin. Cygwin is and yet isn't a platform; it's a posix overlayer running above Microsoft Windows. It emulates *nix to such a degree that normally we don't think about anything Cygwin-specific needing to be added; Cygwin Perl is just a very basic vanilla *nix perl with no special functionality added. Contrast with ActivePerl, which is Win32 Perl and that means special namespaces defined and all sorts of extra stuff (modules) thrown in. But there's a little fly (in my ointment). Cygwin Perl can run in all sorts of different contexts and be used for many uses. Someday somewhere somebody is going to be using Cygwinperl and want to have it tell another application FooMe.exe (thru a 'system()' call, for ex.) that it wants FooMe to do something with the file /cygdrive/r/obscure/directory/dirtypictures.jpg or ~/.initme_rc or /tmp/*.doc. And that app FooMe is a Windows app that knows nothing about posix-style paths and will upchuck on the argument. In fact, I think this HAS already happened, amazingly, to somebody, somewhere ;-) . So this module will offer the very simple service of some subroutines that will take a path as an input arg and return a path. There are four subs right now (the XSUBS are named something longer; these are perl subs): posixpath win32path fullposixpath fullwin32path And they do just about what you'd think. They access the Cygwin C API through XS glue. One trouble is that conceptually the persons involved with perl on Cygwin don't all want any sort of Cygwin:: namespace and don't really agree that there's anything unusual about Cygwinperl that differentiates it from any generic *nix perl. I know better: on Cygwin, there is always going to be more than one canonical-ly-correct way to refer to a file by path name (!!): /posixstyle/file.name--VS-- R:\something\mounted\to\posixstyle\file.name --and-- R:/something/mounted/to/posixstyle/file.name Which last, Cygwin is also perfectly happy to accept and is IMHO the ideal happy medium or lingua franca for most hybrid situations on Cygwin. People are calling this a mixed path. That's a difference. A psuedo-filesystem difference, IMO. But like it or not, find it 'easy to categorize' or not, there IS a difference (between generic *nix perl and Cygwin perl). So my present analysis is that my module belongs in a base namespace of Filesys:: and maybe could be named CygwinPaths? I think it would keep the maintainer of Cygwin Perl happy -- or should -- if named like this. What do YOU think? Best, Soren A -- conway: unit of mind expansion.

New sysvinit package available for download
New cygwin sysvinit package available for download. Init is the parent of all unix processes. Its primary role is to create processes from a script stored in the file /etc/inittab (see inittab(5)). This file usually has entries which cause init to spawn gettys on each line that users can log in. It also controls autonomous processes required by any particular system. To install the package, 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. You'll find sysvinit listed in the System category. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. Sergey Okhapkin Somerset, NJ
New agetty package available for download
New cygwin agetty package available for download. Agetty is an alternative to System V/SunOS 4 getty. agetty opens a tty port, prompts for a login name and invokes the /bin/login command. It is normally invoked by init(8). The cygwin agetty port allows a user to logon into Windows NT box over a serial line (serial cable or modem). To install the package, 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. You'll find agetty listed in the System category. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Updated: cygutils-1.1.3-1
The cygutils package has been updated to version 1.1.3. Changes: o removed 'last' and 'utmpdump' implementations (these are now availabe from the sysvinit package) o mkshortcut now uses popt for option handling, instead of getopt o other non-user-visible changes WARNING: if you have already installed the sysvinit package, you will need to REINSTALL sysvinit AFTER updating cygutils. Yes, that means you have to run setup.exe a total of two SEPARATE times; once to update cygutils and once to reinstall sysvinit. If you have NOT YET installed sysvinit, you may upgrade cygutils AND install sysvinit during the same setup.exe run; setup will do the right thing. --Chuck 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. 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.

Updated: autoconf-2.54-1
The autoconf package has been updated to version 2.54-1. Recall that this package is not the REAL autoconf. It's a set of wrapper scripts that call the REAL autoconf from autoconf-stable or autoconf-devel, depending on the needs of your target. See this message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00100.html Changes: o improve handling the '--trace' option, so that it actually works. o add support for the new '--prepend-include' option o the real autom4te allows reordering its options. That's hard to do in our wrapper script. Since old autoconf-2.13 doesn't have or call autom4te, we don't really NEED a fancy wrapper script for autom4te. So, change the autom4te wrapper to unconditionally forward to autoconf-devel's autom4te, and pass all of its options without parsing. -- Chuck Wilson To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

Updated: autoconf-devel-2.54-1
Version 2.54-1 of the autoconf-devel package is now available. It contains GNU autoconf-2.54, installed into /usr/autotool/devel. GNU autoconf-2.54 provides several bug fixes, improved portability, no known incompatibility with 2.53, forthcoming Automake 1.7 requires 2.54. Changes since 2.53a-1 o update to the GNU 2.54 release o all 164 self tests successful (3 skipped) o The ac-2.52, ac-2.53, ac-2.53a generate buggy configure scripts problem seems to be gone. Yes, I know autoconf-2.55 will be released later this week. But it has some significant changes relative to past autoconfs; we'll hold off on that for a while, and laugh at the pain and angst on the autoconf mailing list. -- Chuck Wilson To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

(Debian Bug#153697) * Install Python files even if they were built. (PR/369) * Have stamp-vti dependent upon configure instead of configure.ac, as the version might not be defined in the latter. (PR/358) * Reorder arguments passed to a couple of commands, so things works when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1. * Fix a regex that can cause Perl to segfault on large input. (Debian Bug#162583) * Fix distribution of packages that have some sources defined conditionally, as in the `Conditional compilation using Automake conditionals' example of the manual. * Fix spurious test suite failures on IRIX. * Don't report a required variable as undefined if it has been defined conditionally for the right conditions. * Fix cleaning of the /tmp subdirectory used by `make distcheck', in case `make distcheck' fails. * Fix distribution of included Makefile fragment, so we don't create spurious directories in the distribution. (PR/366) * Don't complain that a target lacks `.$(EXEEXT)' when it has it. New in 1.7: * Autoconf 2.54 is required. * `aclocal' and `automake' will no longer warn about obsolete configure macros. This is done by `autoconf -Wobsolete'. * AM_CONFIG_HEADER, AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS and AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL are obsolete (although still supported). You should use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS, and AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ instead. `autoupdate' can upgrade `configure.ac' for you. * Support for per-program and per-library `_CPPFLAGS'. * New `ctags' target (builds CTAGS files). * Support for -Wmumble and -Wno-mumble, where mumble is a warning category (see `automake --help' or the manual for a list of them). * Honor the WARNINGS environment variable. * Omit the call to depcomp when using gcc3: call the compiler directly. * A new option, std-options, tests that programs support --help and --version when `make installcheck' is run. This is enabled by --gnits. * Texinfo rules now support the `ps' and `pdf' targets. * Info files are now created in the build directory, not the source directory. * info_TEXINFOS supports files in subdirectories (this requires Texinfo 4.1 or greater). * `make distcheck' will enforce DESTDIR support by attempting a DESTDIR install. * `+=' can be used in conditionals, even if the augmented variable was defined for another condition. * Makefile fragments (inserted with `include') are always distributed. * Use Autoconf's --trace interface to inspect configure.ac and get a more accurate view of it. * Add support for extending aclocal's default macro search path using a
