Re: Proposing TCM as a cygwin package
Hi Pavel and *, I'm currently waiting for the latest release (2.20) to come up, because it will save a lot of work when cygwinizing it (it will no longer require a dedicated toplevel-dir like /opt/tcm). According to its author and maintainer(s) at Twente University, it should be released soon, but I don't know the exact date. I'll keep you informed.

The interesting thing is that setup's UI is entirely defined in terms of dialog template (which is why it is not resizable). Now, MS say Most dialog boxes are laid out using dialog units, which scale with the system DPI. However, custom layout logic usually needs to be revisited. Except setup doesn't *have* any custom layout logic - just dialog units. Hence I suspect its MS's bug. Max.

Re: New multiwindow mode is great
John, You might find it interesting that upon closer inspection the multi-window mode is dependent upon the message procedure in the normal mode for handling keyboard input, etc. I am not sure if we can create the root window and have it process messages without being displayed. In any case, it may take a little bit of engineering to compartmenalize the functionality in the root window message procedure so that it can be used in fullscreen and multiwindow modes. Just thought I would share that... hiding the root window may not be trivial.

grep: Command not found when starting tcsh
Note to the Cygwin-XFree86 team:
I have Cygwin and XFree86 installed, and I was getting annoying messages
of the form
Grep: command not found
every time I started up a tcsh shell. I finally tracked the problem
down to
the file /etc/profile.d/00xfree.csh. This script apparently executes
before
all other login scripts and is intended to put /usr/X11R6/bin on your path.
Unfortunately it includes this line:
eval echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${X11PATH}
Because it's executing so early on, the PATH hasn't been properly set up
yet,
and grep was not being found.
By replacing grep with /bin/grep, the problem was resolved. This had
already been done in the file 00xfree.sh in the same directory so I'm
surprised
the 00xfree.csh file hadn't been modified too.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 71 [DEBUG BUILD]
JS, Running ``find'' in Cygwin does not search all of your drives, not even all of your local drives. It only searches within your Cygwin installation directory. I want you to go into Windows Explorer, right-click on your C drive and do a search for cygwin1.dll. Then I want you to do it again for your D drive, etc. It doesn't look like the problem has anything to do with threads.

Re: grep: Command not found when starting tcsh
Eric,
Let that be a lesson to you: nobody uses tcsh :)
I will fix the .csh script when I get a chance.
Funny that you noticed this problem, because I still have the inclusion
of these scripts on my to-do list... I had forgotten that I had already
included them.

(after it has run in the background while starting up with the local X-server) i don't want to depend on any window driver wrappers for ssh. and as you may know the danger of doing this...if i start kde or gnome, i can't kill this xterm box without closing up all of kde or gnome in one shot... i'm also pretty dumb not knowing exactly what services my remote domain is running other than I know someone can help me a little more how i can do it./:} ...i know the remote is running the daemons sshd and gpm, i know how to query the rpm's database...but I still don't know well how remote X works with ssh? I know that I can use XWin +parameters, but how can I have it automated with ssh? If you know of any alternatives i'd greatly appreciate it, i'm also only in favor of sticking with cygwin build tools and nothing else, i have to thank the cygwin team for making X-sessioning possible from my Windows box, everyone kept spitting out to go buy out winaxe and winplus..thx but no thx.;)... jagg __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

To preload the username, you need to create ~/.ssh/config and specify the User option. As for not prompting for the password, to do that you'll need to create a RSA/DSA key pair and use ssh-agent.

(after it has run in the background while starting up with the local X-server) You certainly could type xterm and have it run...as for doing it automatically, you might find that running X applications automatically on login is more trouble than it's worth. ;) If you want to, though, I would imagine you could put xterm in your ~/.bash_login or whatever. i don't want to depend on any window driver wrappers for ssh. and as you may know the danger of doing this...if i start kde or gnome, i can't kill this xterm box without closing up all of kde or gnome in one shot...

Re: Support for DDWARF-2 debug info? (on Cygwin)
Hi Brian, The coff versions of sec_to_styp_flags and styp_to_sec_flag in bfd look to see if the section name begins with .debug and modify the section flags appropriately. The PE versions do not even look at the section name. Ahh, yes, you are right. I guess that no-one has tried to incporporate DWARF2 sections into the PE format before. I guess that, for now you are going to have to add similar name-checking code to the PE versions. Ideally what we ought to do is give gcc some way to tell gas that this section is a debug section and then gas could do the right thing. Perhaps a new pseudo op .debug_section name ?

Re: cygrunsrv and apache
Does adding the --nodetach to cygrunsrv (I think that's the correct spelling ) help?

Re: Losing data with routine cp and mv -- cannot create hard link
In the absence of responses to my earlier note (below), and having made a second fruitless search of FAQs and archives, I'd like to make a second and final attempt with a simpler question: If cp and mv are not reliably copying all of the contents of an (apparently) normal directory tree with 89,000 normal data files, of 1.4 GB total size, using WIN2000 and NTFS, is it most likely due to inherent size limits of cygwin? If the problems are due to inherent limits, then I can adjust by copying such big directories in smaller chunks, as I have already done successfully. I just want to make sure that this is in fact the problem.

Both with cp and mv, I am getting error messages when copying or moving rather large directories (1.4 GB, 89,000 files). For example, the command: $ cp -Rip p:/rchive q:/ starts off fine, but half-way through the job, error messages such as the following start to appear: cp: will not create hard link `q:/rchive/foo/bar' to directory `q:/rchive/fli/bers.gif' ..where the both filename A is always a directory name and filename B (called a directory in the error message) is usually a file, not a directory. While showing these messages, cp and mv continue to execute normally -- with error messages appearing intermittently -- except the directories named by filenames A are not copied, i.e. the data is lost. (Good thing I was paying attention and not running these in batch mode!) I could not find anything relevant in the mailing list archive or FAQ. Can anyone advise?

This can be easily triggert on smb-shares, but also on normal drives. If renaming (that is: moving around) files, there is a short, load-dependend delay between removing the old direktory entry and creating the new one. This can even be observed in the windows explorer, and I *think* that is not a slow-gui-issue, but the file is *really* *not* *there* form some time. /wild guessing mode So dont think there is any thing cygwin can do.

On *my* system, the magic number is around 50 files. Less than 50 files works without sleep, more files require the sleep. (Else I get a lot random No such file xxx.bak.) Bjoern -- +-+ | Dipl.-Phys.

Question concerning fortune
I'm fond of fortune and therefore would like to know whether a new version of this neat little prog is to be released with Cygwin. Maybe with new libraries of quotes? Another point is this behaviour I noticed a while ago. Let's suppose, we created a library looking like this: BOF One quote % Another one % And finally, a third one % EOF and now we compile the corresponding .dat file, fortune (or rather strfile?) assumes four different quotes because of the last '%' that precedes the EOF.

Re: cygrunsrv and apache
you should be checking what /var/log/apache/error_log is reporting. Sorry for the late reply. The error_log contains the usual startup/shutdown messages and nothing serious that would indicate that apache is not operating correctly. Another option is the module rebasing clash. But you said you can start it from shell by hand, with the same setup, right?! The fact that apache functions normally from the shell leads me to believe that this is not a dll base issue as the only time I recieve an error (and nothing more) is when I start apache through the service manager. Like I said previously I have the log file(s) and log dir are owned by system with write permission, also the modules are owned by system (the SYSTEM user). If I change this there is no effect and I still recieve error 1062.

Re: cron, Oracle, and sqlplus
On Jan 9, James Schnedar wrote I am experiencing a problem with running Oracle sqlplus within a shell script using cron. The shell script runs correctly from the command line, but once I add it to cron, the shell script will execute up until the sqlplus command. Therefore, cron is working correctly as well, but the addition of the sqlplus command causes it to hang. The sqlplus session has started, but appears hung. sqlplus needs some environment variables to be set, like ORACLE_HOME ( I am not sure what others). Andd cron does not set these variables while starting your process. Hence sqlplus hangs. Solution: Use the line #!/bin/bash as the first line of your shell script and define the required environment variables in your .bashrc file. Ig you are using the Korn shell, ensure that these variables are set in your .profile and use #!/bin/ksh as the first line of your shell script.

Re: cygrunsrv and apache - success
Thanks for the tip. That fixed it for me. For posterity, here is everything that I did: 1. Create a new local user named apache. I put it in the Users group. Add it to /etc/passwd using a command like: mkpasswd -l | grep apache /etc/passwd The apache user was assigened to the existing None group so I left it like that. 2. Modify /etc/apache/httpd.conf to set: User apache Group None 3. Run: chown SYSTEM:SYSTEM /var/log/apache/* chown SYSTEM:SYSTEM /var/log/apache.log Check that /var/log/apache/ and /var/run are writable by SYSTEM. 4. Run: cygrunsrv -I apache -d Cygwin apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a '-k' -e CYGWIN=ntsec nosmbntsec binmode tty cygrunsrv -S apache No errors were reported. 5. Check the Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services app (I'm on Win2k) to see if Cygwin apache is running. 6. Check if net stop apache net start apache work. 7. Point your browser at your machine and see if you get the Apache default page. Well that's all I remember doing anyway. Let me know if I'm missing anything. So far it looks like everything is working. Thanks everyone for your help. Jon Stipe Tolj wrote: Jonathan Albrecht schrieb: I've been trying to run apache as a service using cygrunsrv.

Hi Brian,
My current problem is that all previous DWARF2 implementations

This violates the PE format and makes the executable unusable.
I saw your post about this to the binutils list.
Does the PE format require that the debugging sections be loaded into
memory when the executable is invoked ? The reason that the ELF
format allows the .debug sections to have a VMA of zero is that they
also do not have the ALLOC flag, so they are not loaded into memory.
(A debugger wanting to access the sections for a running process must
locate the executable on disk an load them/mmap them from there).
No, they do not need to be loaded into memory, and they do not have the
ALLOC flag set. But, the PE format requires all sections to be adjacent
and in ascending order of VMA. It also specifies debug sections should be
last. I think it just tries to load everything up to the fist non-ALLOC
section, or so it seams.
I am still consulting the DWARF2 spec to see if gcc and gas are
correct in generating VMA addresses. If so, I guess I have to fix
the dwarf parsing code in bfd and gdb to subtract the section base
VMA.
I do not believe that the DWARF2 spec mandates the VMA addresses of
the .debug sections. It does say that their contents must be
contiguous, and it does specify the meaning of their contents, but it
does not specify the meaning of partially-complete .debug sections.
(ie ones attached to relocations that have not yet been resolved).
No, it does not, but I did find out it mandates section relative offsets.
So, the dwarf parsing code is correct. It is gcc that has taken a
short cut. BTW, these problems are with fully linked executables.
From gcc/dwarf2asm.c:122
/* Output a section-relative reference to a label. In general this
can only be done for debugging symbols. E.g. on most targets with
the GNU linker, this is accomplished with a direct reference and
the knowledge that the debugging section will be placed at VMA 0.
Some targets have special relocations for this that we must use. */
void
dw2_asm_output_offset VPARAMS ((int size, const char *label,
const char *comment, ...))
{
VA_OPEN (ap, comment);
VA_FIXEDARG (ap, int, size);
VA_FIXEDARG (ap, const char *, label);
VA_FIXEDARG (ap, const char *, comment);
#ifdef ASM_OUTPUT_DWARF_OFFSET
ASM_OUTPUT_DWARF_OFFSET (asm_out_file, size, label);
#else
dw2_assemble_integer (size, gen_rtx_SYMBOL_REF (Pmode, label));
#endif
[snip]
So, all I need to do is define ASM_OUTPUT_DWARF_OFFSET correctly in
gcc/config/i386/cygwin.h.
Does anyone have I good way to define a section relative offset in
assembly for Cygwin, or do I need to define labels for the sections in the
link script as use them? That seems messy.
So, I think it is the case that BFD and GDB are both assuming that the
VMA of the sections will be zero, but that this is not required.
Actually, as stated above, bfd and gdb are correct. The VMA should not
be relevant as section relative offsets are specified.

W2K: cvs hangs after ci and update
I have a very weird problem which is irrating. I would apreciate if anyone had any suggesting what I could check or test - I'm even prepared to gdb cvs (any instructions where to start?) Now: - If I connect to my sourceforge projects, the cvs behaves normally - If I connect to my work server, running Debian linux 3.1 unstable (always up to date), the prompt hangs and cvs never ends. [Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2-debian (client/server)] I mean, no matter what command I run, which connects to my work server, it never return the prompt without hititng C-c after which the output is: hung cvs after ci, up etc. cvs [commit aborted]: received interrupt signal bash$ back again I wonder if this has anything to do with line endings somehow? It does not matter what file I process with cvs (.txt, .pdf, .jpg) It makes no difference whether I'm in dos-bash or rxvt-bash.

You can ls any individual device, though... mknod will allow you to create device files but it doesn't handle /dev. When my mount changes come out, you'll be able to mount /dev anywhere and then Chris January's /dev handler will be possible. So maybe in six months or so, we'll have a real /dev directory possible either as a 'devfs' type directory or as a more traditional standard directory with a lot of 'device files' in it.

I just tried starting the service as the system user and I get the same error (1062). Again if I run apache from the command line it works... It shouldn't matter who you issue the service start request as. Did you try running apache from the SYSTEM command line? I don't know much about apache, but when in similar circumstances with ssh, I turn debugging up to maximum, and look at /var/log/servicename.log. Apache has its own logs that it might be worthwhile to look in as well.

gcc installation problem - entry point not found
I just installed gcc as part of a new cygwin installation. I did a very simple test of gcc (compiling Hello world) to see if it works. I get a error pop up. The header says cc1.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The message is The procedure entry point putc_unlocked could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll.. Obviuosly something is wrong with my installation. Can anyone help?
