Let me be more clear: Please only install into the cygwin directories using the cygwin setup.exe codebase. I'm happy for you to fork the setup.exe code (and then track the changes via CVS). Heck, you could even have a branch in the setup CVS to do that in if needed. So you could provide a different UI and address whatever unspecified issues your users have.

Installing PostgreSQL on Windows using Cygwin
***For those accustomed to setting up on Linux, you do not need to run 'configure' and 'gmake' to install PostgreSQL...Cygwin performs the install for you, however it puts the executables in the /bin dir vs. the default PostgreSQL install dir of /usr/local/pgsql. *** --Dowload and install Cygwin, which can be obtained at www.cygwin.com (though I guess you already know that if your reading this entry) -- You can pick any of the packages you want, but you'll need at a minimum...Base (this is the default), PostgreSQL, Bzip2 (under the Utils section; I believe it grabs the libraries automotically in the Libs section, but I manully selected those just in case). I recommend grabbing VIM editor as well, though not required. --Open a bash shell, by clicking on the Cygwin icon created by the install (assuming you checked the boxes at the end of the install) --Install cygipc (V1.13), you can download the file from... http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/ You'll need the bzip2 utility to do this, hence why I said to grab it in step 2.

Although Dennis asks for a better shell, he means window.
I may get something in the FAQ tonight, but if not, it'll be another

gcc 3.2 string link problem
Hello all,
Having happily upgraded my Cygwin to include gcc 3.2, I've
encountered a show-stopper: The linker can't resolve symbols
involving wide C++ strings. Here is an example:
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
std::string test;
}
-
$ g++ test.cpp
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/nigels/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccHP4AMl.o(.text+0x25):test.cpp:
undefined reference to `std::basic_string
ar_t, std::char_traits, std::allocator

undefined reference to `std::basic_string
ar_t, std::char_traits, std::allocator
>::~basic_string [in-charge]()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any hints, suggestions, or duh-read-the FAQ responses, appreciated.

No such file, but it's right there
Hi, I'm using cygwin 1.3.15 in WinME: Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.3.15 DLL epoch: 19 When I try to "ls" a file I know to be there, I'm told it isn't: $ which ftp telnet /usr/bin/ftp /usr/bin/telnet $ cd /usr/bin $ ls -l ftp telnet -rwxr-xr-x 1 unknown unknown 57344 Jan 6 2002 ftp* -rwxr-xr-x 1 unknown unknown 79360 Jan 6 2002 telnet* $ less ftp telnet ftp: No such file or directory telnet: No such file or directory I don't really want to less a binary file, just see whether the file's presence is recognized.

Here are some possibly bad reasons why I didn't submit minires as a cygwin package: 1) The package requires standard include files (resolv.h and nameser.h) that are not part of Cygwin and that can conflict with similarly named files from other packages (such as bind). If minires was a standard package the files would go under /usr/include, which could cause mayhem if people download the package without realizing the consequences. 2) I am not completely happy with the current version. On Win2000 and XP I would like to interface with the built-in Windows resolver. Microsoft provides a function, DnsQuery, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dns/dns_api_2ant.asp whose last argument sounds promising: pReserved [in, out] Returned response in original wire format. This parameter is optional. Unfortunately I am unable to make it work. This issue is currently on my backburner, any help is appreciated. 3) Self protection. Interested people must first find the package before they contact me. That shows that they are serious. I am glad you found it useful!

Re: gcc 3.2 string link problem
Hi Danny, Thanks for the hint. Does this mean that I need to rebuild libstc++? My impression is that this is a bug: Either wchar_t is supported, or it isn't, but that should be compile-error rather than link-error. And also, since I've done a "full" Cygwin install, what more is needed for wchar_t support?

Well the files are, of course, ftp.exe and telnet.exe. Cygwin's automagical .exe workarounds seems to not be working when going through a mount where there is no underlying directory.

Re: No such file, but it's right there
Fred,
Cygwin follows the Windows convention of using file file name suffix ".exe"
for its binary executable files. While Cygwin will locate and execute files
files given only the base name (sans suffix), other uses ("cat," "less," or
more apropos "nm," "size" or "file") demand the full file name, including
the ".exe" suffix.

Actually, the significant point seems to be that the files are being
accessed via a mount with no underlying directory.

No, sorry. Cygwin's stat function will find a file with a .exe
extension. Cygwin's open function won't. It has been this way for four
or five years. It has nothing to do with the mount command.
So, if you have a file called foo.exe 'ls -l foo' will work but
'cat foo.exe' won't work.

You mean 'cat foo', don't you?
But you are right - I must have been hallucinating when I was experimenting
before I posted that.

Re: gcc 3.2 string link problem
Digging around the gcc.gnu.org site, came across PR 4764 in the bugs database: http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl *Description:* On Solaris 8, std::wstring is not available, because libstdc++/aclocal.m4 checks for too many functions The following functions are not available on Solaris.

ls problem
Hello, I've been using cygwin for 3 years now and last week, I downloaded the latest cygwin from one of the mirrors and everything in well except for one problem. I noticed that whenever I type 'ls -', the output gets delayed for a few seconds. This never happened to me using the old cygwin. I checked the man pages of ls and I didn't find a clue on how to make its output faster. I got to the /bin directory and did a 'time ls -l' and these are the results. real0m3.942s user0m0.249s sys 0m0.530s This is my current bash version : $ bash --version GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(5)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Then, the current ls version: $ ls --version ls (fileutils) 4.1 Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie. Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. The fileutils version is "fileutils-4.1-1". The queer thing is that the fileutils version of my former cygwin package is exactly the same as with the new one. Any help to fix the problem?

David,
Thanks for the prompt response. I realized that he asked for a better
window, that's why I tried searching for both.
For the future, though, would sending a patch to winsup/doc/faq.texinfo
instead make your job easier, or harder?

The latest versions of cygwin have ntsec on by default, and doing 'ls -l' will result in the user lookup in the /etc/passwd (and /etc/group) file. An easy way to test that is to time 'ls -ln' and see if it's faster. Another test would be to *temporarily* turn off ntsec (by adding "nontsec" to your CYGWIN environment variable and reloading cygwin1.dll by exiting all running cygwin processes). I say temporarily because ntsec is actually a very useful feature to have on, and this is suggested only as a means to find out whether it's the culprit. You can restore the state by either changing "nontsec" to "ntsec", or leaving it off altogether, as it's the default now, and reloading cygwin1.dll again.

Well, terminal emulator. Better make it something like:
"Q: The default Cygwin shell/terminal/terminal
emulator/window/place-where-the-keys-I-press-make-their-drawings sucks. Is
there another one in stock?
A: Yes, but first you must learn the difference between the terminal (emulator)
and the shell" etc etc and soforth.
