Re: Two versions of uptime, one in procps-010801-2 and one in sh-utils-2.0-3
Hi Chris o This package has now a conflict between kill.exe from cygwin-1.3.18-1 o Additionally nohup is missing also the man page is there and the info page still mentions the utility as core o There is now also a conflict between the uptime man page from procps-010801-2 o /lib/charset.alias should probably be removed because it's usually installed from the gettext-package (As a heads up, there is also a charset.alias file in tar-1.13.25-1/texinfo-4.2-4/textutils-2.0.16-1) Ciao Volker PS: By the way, I'm sending this message via Netscape Mail. My last couple of mails did not make it through to the cygwin-apps list when sending via Xemacs and Gnus (a trace of the SMTP session looks fine) also mailing to cygwin-xfree works just fine. Any hints ? I haven't tested the main cygwin list recently.

Here it this, it compiles with gcc mkpasswd.c :)
The question is whether the switches -l -c will produce
correct info about the current domain user in all cases
(detached from PDC or not, NT/2000/XP, ...) and not
produce anything more than -l if the current user is local.
John noted that on unix the usernames are in lower
case. That would be easy to do on Cygwin.
Should we, or is it better to keep the Windows format?
On Win95/98/ME this version now handles correctly switches
such as --help, -v, ...
from this (limited) data set, I can only deduce that,
when $HOSTNAME != $USERDOMAIN you are either logged
onto a domain or you are a cached user. Correct?
!! HOSTNAME is not defined in my sh (starting from Windows).

Setup Prop: Change percent to underscore
The percent (%) character in the setup.exe download file paths is a problem for many Windows file managers. These include Directory Toolkit and 2xExplorer. The proposal is to change setup.exe to use underscores or some similarly innocuous character instead of percent signs. Regards. Mark

I agree with you that it's legal but also think what is legal is not always what is ethical. It would be better for Cygwin to play friendly with various file managers. We do. The standard to which we play is the one they are meant to play - win32 file naming conventions. If anyone is being less than ethical it is those file managers developers, that are implementing less than the full specification for win32 file names, and then passing it off as 'complete'. In fact, If they are being confused by % signs, it sounds like they are using something like printf (filename), which is very very bad programming practice. You got a tart response because you appear to have not thought through the issue fully.

Re: xwindow to the foreground
Kumarchi, Probably. Window activation / deactivation and raising / lowering are functions of the window manager. Without knowing which one you're running, it won't be possible to give you specific information on how to enable the option you want. Or you could do something like read the documentation or explore and experiment... (No gurus required!)

opening a X session with linux box breaks routing on both client and server
Hi all, I have a linux box running Red Hat 7.3, and Cygwin-XFree running on a Win2000 machine. Both are running in a private 192.168 subnet. Initially, both boxes can happily connect to the internet via the gateway at 192.168.0.1. Then I open a cygwin shell and connect with: XWin -query linuxHost The X window opens appropriately with window manager niceties, and everything works fine between the two. However, now neither one can ping the gateway or get out to the internet. Though they can reach other machines in the 192.168. network. Does anyone have an approach for debugging this? I'm at a loss and can find nothing relevant on the Cygwin-XFree site or the Red Hat site. thanks, aaron remick BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Remick;Aaron FN:Aaron Remick ORG:Remick Net TITLE:Principal TEL;WORK;VOICE:510 682 6846 TEL;HOME;VOICE:510 666 1010 TEL;CELL;VOICE:510 682 6846 TEL;WORK;FAX:877 576 5421 ADR;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;1930 Delaware St. =0D=0AApt. 3;Berkeley;Ca;94709-2142;United States of Ame= rica LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:1930 Delaware St. =0D=0AApt. 3=0D=0ABerkeley, Ca 94709-2142=0D=0AUnited Stat= es of America ADR;HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;1930 Delaware St. =0D=0AApt. 3;Berkeley;Ca;94709-2142;United States of Ame= rica LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:1930 Delaware St. =0D=0AApt. 3=0D=0ABerkeley, Ca 94709-2142=0D=0AUnited Stat= es of America ADR;POSTAL:;;USA LABEL;POSTAL:USA X-WAB-GENDER:2 URL: URL:http://www.remick.net/ BDAY:19681026 EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] REV:20010206T185558Z END:VCARD
XDMCP Problem (must be connected to internet)
Hello. I have a Debian 3.0 box, and W2k box. I start an xwin session on my W2K box like so: xwin -query 192.168.0.2(this is the address of the linux box). I find that I get my nice kde login window only while my W2K internet connection is active. Once I can see the KDE login screen I can saftly disconnect from the internet. Both my computers are on my LAN so I see no reason why I need to be on the internet. Can anybody explain?! For bonus points: xwin -fullscreen brings up an x-windows server on my primary display. I have a secondary display which I would prefer to use. As a workaround for now I am using windowed mode and dragging the window onto my secondary monitor. Any help much appreciated, TK

Re: sed -i problem?
Ok, I tracked down the problem and it is because fopen is used for the file instead of ck_fopen. Alas I don't have a patch ready (a nice solution would be practically the diff from 4.0.5 to 4.0.6), but grepping for [^_]fopen.*w and replacing fopen with ck_fopen will probably be a quick, workable hack. |_ _ _ __ |_)(_)| ),' --- '--- -- 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/

Re: xinetd/ init not working for me
OK, let's troubleshut the problem step by step. I need to find out first
where the problem is, in init, initscripts or xinetd. I suspect when you run
init-config you answered yes to overwrite an existing /etc/inittab
installed by initscripts package. What are the last three lines of
/etc/inittab? They should be like:
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
# xdm is now a separate service
#x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
If (you inittab is different)
please reinstall initscripts package.
else
post the printout of ls -l /etc/inittab /etc/rc.d /etc/rc.d/init.d

Subject: xinetd/ init not working for me
I just upgraded to 1.3.18 and noticed a version of init and xinetd.
I
turned off inetd and installed xinetd, chkconfig, sysvinit, and the
initscripts, Ran init-config and xinetd-config. chkconfig says that
xinetd
is on at runlevel3, net start init starts init at runlevel3 , but
doesn't
start xinetd. If I manualy start xinetd (either with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start or /usr/sbin/xinetd -d) it appears to
set
up the various services, but when I try to access the machine using
an
xinetd service (telnet or rlogin) I get :
03/1/3@18:04:10: DEBUG: {server_start} Starting service login
03/1/3@18:04:10: DEBUG: {main_loop} active_services = 14

03/1/3@18:04:10: DEBUG: {main_loop} active_services = 14
I've tried adding the services to the hosts.allow file and a few other
things, but no luck so far, I've also been through the cygwin and
xinetd
lists and haven't turned anything up.
Oh, inetd works just fine, but I'd like to use xinetd if I could.
thanks for any help.

Re: Minimal xserver-wm-ssh setup
Are you looking for a minimal list of packages required? I'm an atypical user (I have installed pretty much every available package at one time or another), but for my needs, a base cygwin install works fine after adding: - openssh - XFree (get the whole shebang while you're at it, clipboard integration with Windows works fine now) - WindowMaker All of these are listed in the setup.exe package list, and work out of the box, as it were. Mind you, there are some occasional issues with intricate stuff like X extensions and proprietary apps (we had some trouble getting CiscoWorks and other network management applications to show on a Cygwin X server, but tweaking X resources on the application end solved the problem) R. chrisf wrote: Has anyone figured out a minimal package install to run 1) ssh client for remote auth 2) a window manager 3) a xserver for remote applications I have seen the winxterm project but it only handles XDM Thanks Chris -- 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/ -- 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/
Perl 5.8 status?
Erm... Could anyone update us on the status of Perl 5.8?

Re: javac on cygwin
Kevin, Javac is not particularly special. It is a Windows-native program, and as such requires absolute file and directory names be provided in Windows format (forward slashes are OK, but drive letters are required and the Cygwin notion of root is completely unknown to such programs). PATH-like variables (specifically CLASSPATH) must be in Windows format (semicolon separators). Both of these conversions is handled by the cygpath utility. Learn about it. I strongly suggest that if your development environment, either individually or as a group, is or is at all likely to become cross-platform (betwen Windows and any kind of Unix), that you adopt a Unix-centered set of build scripts and then create cover scripts that encapsulate the operations that bridge the gap between the POSIX / Unix world of Cygwin and the underlying native Sun Java SDK tools. Do so in a way that allows those translations to be easily switched off, replaced or made null when not needed (when you're working on an actual Unix system). I do lots of Java under Windows with Cygwin and have for quite a while. Feel free to come back with further questions.

g++, shared/static and exceptions
Hi. As I said in other messages I'm freshening my C++ skills thanks to a university project I must do, guess what, in C++ (I passed from C to Java some years ago but now, with STL and exceptions... but that's another story). I'm using gcc 3.2 (but it must work also with 2.95), libexpat, libcppunit for make check and the full suite of the autotools (which is good, as I now know them much better). I have a small problem though: I recently decided to do things cleanly and separated my program in a generic library and a set of example programs that use it. Two problems here. The first problem is that the library must be static as libstdc++ isn't available as a DLL (that's right? will it be available someday?), but this is not a big problem as libtool makes it very easy to use --disable-shared in the configure. The real problem is that the exceptions thrown in the library seems to always dump the program, and can't be catched in the main (which is not in the lirary, of course). I made my good Google search and I found various interesting things on the gcc mailing list (and in other places), the main thing being the following thread: http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/libtool/2002-May/006309.html That make two more question raise in my head though: 1. it talks about DLL not propagating the exceptions, and I'm using a static library.. is a static library net meant for propagating them (so that the thread avoid the problem as 'not possible') or the opposite? (i.e. they alweays work in static libs) 2. it talks about C++ DLLs... are they possible at all? my libtool screams that it cannot create a dynamic library that uses a static library... (maybe there is some way to say to it just include it all? but the, at linking time, wouldn't there be two copies of the stdc++ library?)

For what it's worth, I use the attached scripts as wrappers for java, jar,
javadoc and javac (the javac one is not extensively tested as I use a
Cygwin-compiled jikes for java compilation). The only caveat is that
filenames passed as parameters to Java programs and custom doclet options
in javadoc are not converted. You will need to change the *_EXEC values
close to the beginning of the scripts to conform to your system (I have
IBM JDK 1.3).
Hope this helps. David, feel free to post them on the web page if needed.
I'd also appreciate any comments or bug reports. Thanks.

Re: [Mostly to Charles Wilson] Upgrading Cygwin's CVS
Max Bowsher wrote: In http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg00754.html, Charles withdrew a test cvs-1.11.2 package, saying that some bugs had been found. I've recently compiled cvs 1.11.4 for myself, because I wanted the new rlog command. I was wondering what these bugs were, in case I might encounter them in my locally compiled version. Gosh, I don't remember the exact details, and can't seem to find it in my TODO or NOTES files for cvs. Trolling thru my mail archives... It seems that the problems were the standard text/binary issues, on reading .cvsignore, .cvsrc, .cvspass -- coupled with issues reading the ENTRIES, REPOSITORY, and ROOT files in the CVS dirs. Something like they tended to gain more and more ^M's at the end of each line...which led to problems. These issues are NOT problems on cvs-1.11.0, IIRC, and represent a regression for cvs-1.11.2. Plus, there are the continuing problems of hosting a cvs repository on a text mount. I think. Really, these issues are not too difficult to track down and fix, but I decided to abandon the official cvs codebase at that point(see below), and haven't worked up the gumption to re-do all of the original cygwin-porting stuff with regards to the cvsnt codebase, so we're still languishing at cvs-1.11.0. Anyway, I'm stunned to hear that the bozos running the cvs project actually got around to releasing TWO new versions (1.11.3 and 1.11.4). [No, I don't have a lot of respect for people who contemptuously ignore patches without even the courtesy of a response...after a couple of reminders over several weeks...] Because of all that, I'd pretty much decided that the next time I update the 'cvs' package, I'm going to use the cvsnt codebase (which, despite its name, does compile under unix: on unixoid platforms, it is essentially regular cvs + bugfixes. Bugfixes the real cvs maintainers seem to believe are beneath their dignity. No, I'm not bitter.) But that's a lot of testing I'm not really ready for right now. So, in answer to your question, I'd make sure that the behavior and contents of the .cvs* files, and the CVS/* files, make sense when your home directory and working directories are on both binary and text mounts -- and continue to make sense after a few rounds of commits and checkouts. --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/

1.3.18: slow pipe performance when cpu busy
I've noticed slow pipe performance when my CPU is busy running
low-priority programs (e.g., SETI@home). For example, if I run:
% grep keychain .profile
the command completes very fast. However, when I run
% cat .profile | grep keychain
the command takes 6-7 seconds to complete. However, if I kill
SETI@home, the command completes quickly.
(BTW, SETI@home is running at Low priority as reported by Windows.)
I do not have this problem if I revert back to 1.3.17.
cygcheck output is attached. Please let me know if there's more info I
can provide.

Re: 1.3.18: slow pipe performance when cpu busy
David, I reported this exact same thing on Dec. 26, '02 (Subject: Delays With Pipes In Cygwin 1.3.18). For me having a CPU soaker going is not optional (You have completed more work units than 99.199% of our users., if you get my drift) and I make extensive use of pipes both explicitly and buried in scripts and shell procedures, so this is an intolerable situation for me and for that reason I've also backed off to 1.3.17 until some kind of resolution is reached. I was going to use strace to see if it would disclose anything more interesting or detailed, but I'm fresh out of round tuits. By the way, you said your cygcheck output was attached, but it appeared in-line. Check to make sure your mailer is not configured to put text-only attachments in-line with the message body.

Re: FAO: cfg: defaults
Chris, I hope this isn't too far off-topic or excessive in its protractedness. If you'd like, I'll tease the cat a little and get some scratches on my arms. Anyway, I found this in RFC 1738, Uniform Resource Locators (URL) (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt, lines 1183 through 1225): -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- APPENDIX: Recommendations for URLs in Context URIs, including URLs, are intended to be transmitted through protocols which provide a context for their interpretation. In some cases, it will be necessary to distinguish URLs from other possible data structures in a syntactic structure. In this case, is recommended that URLs be preceeded with a prefix consisting of the characters URL:. For example, this prefix may be used to distinguish URLs from other kinds of URIs. In addition, there are many occasions when URLs are included in other kinds of text; examples include electronic mail, USENET news messages, or printed on paper. In such cases, it is convenient to have a separate syntactic wrapper that delimits the URL and separates it from the rest of the text, and in particular from punctuation marks that might be mistaken for part of the URL. For this purpose, is recommended that angle brackets ( and ), along with the prefix URL:, be used to delimit the boundaries of the URL. This wrapper does not form part of the URL and should not be used in contexts in which delimiters are already specified. In the case where a fragment/anchor identifier is associated with a URL (following a #), the identifier would be placed within the brackets as well. In some cases, extra whitespace (spaces, linebreaks, tabs, etc.) may need to be added to break long URLs across lines. The whitespace should be ignored when extracting the URL. No whitespace should be introduced after a hyphen (-) character. Because some typesetters and printers may (erroneously) introduce a hyphen at the end of line when breaking a line, the interpreter of a URL containing a line break immediately after a hyphen should ignore all unencoded whitespace around the line break, and should be aware that the hyphen may or may not actually be part of the URL. Examples: Yes, Jim, I found it under URL:ftp://info.cern.ch/pub/www/doc; type=d but you can probably pick it up from URL:ftp://ds.in ternic.net/rfc. Note the warning in URL:http://ds.internic. net/instructions/overview.html#WARNING. -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- I guess this passage, appearing as it does in an appendix with the title Recommendations ..., does not have the force of a standard per se, but it's good enough for me. I notice as I peruse the RFCs that this recommendation (including URL: part) is widely used in the plain-text RFCs. RFC 2369 The Use of URLs as Meta-Syntax for Core Mail List Commands and their Transport through Message Header Fields is also somewhat relevant and indicates that for its purposes within headers, the angle brackets are in fact mandatory and specified within the RFC proper.
