Re: LPRng and ifhp packages ready
Some notes: --In your setup.hint, you need to include gawk fileutils sh-utils in the requirements (these are required by the scripts). --Your LPRng src archive is .tgz instead of .tar.bz2, and appears to be an uncompressed tar archive. In the LPRng binary package: --All your files start with ./ (e.g., ./usr/bin instead of usr/bin) and one looks suspicious: ./etc/postinstall/lprng.sh~ --/usr/doc/Cygwin/LPRng-3.8.19.README doesn't really tell me anything about the software. This is OK, but it's normal to give some hints. I personally am somewhat interested in lpr, but I don't have the time to read through the 25MB of documentation to figure it out. Surely the workings are a little different on Windows. It is also customary to put build requirements like gcc, etc. At this point I'm intimidated so I'll let someone more familiar with things like /etc/printcap to step in.
Re: [ITP] par 1.52
Runtime requirements: cygwin-1.3.19 or newer So this won't work with older dlls? Build requirements: cygwin-1.3.19 or newer Really? Not gcc? Not patch? Obvious or not, they should be listed. I vote for this after the above is fixed in usr/doc/Cygwin/par-1.52.README The binary worked fine for me and the packages documentation is great. I especially like that it can automatically re-align email quotes with Vim. :) In fact, this paragraph was reformatted with par.
minor packaging error in recent zsh

Re: wrong app-defaults in fresh installation
It is the lesstif package which creates a folder /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults when /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Mwm is extracted. When there is already a link app-defaults - /etc/X11/app-defaults/ the everything is fine - otherwise later you will get the app-defaults link to /etc/X11/app-defaults/ inside the usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults folder. I had the same problem sometime ago and complained ;) to the list. Don't know whether the lesstif maintainer or somebody else could fix it. Frank-Michael Danilo Turina wrote: Hi, in in a fresh installation of Cygwin on my new XP PC, I noticed that xcalc (and other X apps) didn't work properly. I have had this problem some time ago: within the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults has been created a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults (where the app-defaults of many applications are). So while in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults there are on the app-defaults of Mwm all the other app-defaults are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults and the various X apps (e.g. xcalc) can't find them. Last time I thought that this problem was my fault in that I installed X, lessTiff, WindowMaker as separate packages before they were included in setup and then, when they become available in setup, I replaced them with the setup versions. So I thought some re-packaging would have caused that problem and simply replaced /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults with a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults. Now, with a fresh Cygwin installation, I have the some problem (that I will solve in the same way) so I think there is some problem with the installation of some X package. Ciao, Danilo Turina

Can you see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
JS.
just because i often ran across it an due to my earlier
question on that list which seems to pop up in google if you
search for that topic i'd like to write down how to make
cygwin's XWin work natively with a non us keyboard (tested
with the german keyboard but should also work for other
languages)
* first you have to compile a keymap for your language - for
german this looks like
xkbcomp -xkm -m de /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86
\ /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/de
in older versions of cygwin xfree86 it had to be
/tmp/de.xkm instead of /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/de
* then you can start your xserver like
XWin.exe -xkbmap de
and you should have your keyboard (btw. don't be surprised
that in the shell not all charackters are shown - like for
instance the german umlauts - thats the default bash behavior
as used in cygwin - just open a vi inside that bash and you
should be able to see all the other charackters too
* if you want to know what the name for your keyboard is or
which ones are available: just have a look at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86
hope that helps someone and maybe this should be added to the
cygwin/XFree86 faq ... i hope everything is correct and i have
not missed anything - best wishes

RE: (fwd) non us keyboards and cygwin xfree86
The command below worked for me:
$ xkbcomp -xkm -m gb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 \
/etc/X11/xkb/keymap/gb
It may be nothing to do with your problem but neither of your examples of the xkbcomp
commands you have tried show the '\' at the end of the 1st line of the command. Are
you typing the command in as one line? If not you'll need the '\'.

Can you see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
JS.
just because i often ran across it an due to my earlier
question on that list which seems to pop up in google if you
search for that topic i'd like to write down how to make
cygwin's XWin work natively with a non us keyboard (tested
with the german keyboard but should also work for other
languages)
* first you have to compile a keymap for your language - for
german this looks like
xkbcomp -xkm -m de /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86
\ /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/de
in older versions of cygwin xfree86 it had to be
/tmp/de.xkm instead of /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/de
* then you can start your xserver like
XWin.exe -xkbmap de
and you should have your keyboard (btw. don't be surprised
that in the shell not all charackters are shown - like for
instance the german umlauts - thats the default bash behavior
as used in cygwin - just open a vi inside that bash and you
should be able to see all the other charackters too
* if you want to know what the name for your keyboard is or
which ones are available: just have a look at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86
hope that helps someone and maybe this should be added to the
cygwin/XFree86 faq ... i hope everything is correct and i have
not missed anything - best wishes

RE: overlapping windows [was Re: Some undesirable behaviour in Test77]
I am also running Xwin 4.2.0-25 under XP. I do not run another window manager (tried it and realized just how bad it would be). I am running Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard.

Andrew, The selection becoming unhighlighted is the expected, though undesirable behavior of -clipboard. There has been much discussion of this on the list. Just search the mailing list archives for xwinclip if you want the full explanation. No comments on the other bugs. Kensuke will need to look at those.

Re: overlapping windows [was Re: Some undesirable behaviour in Test77]
Whoops, I misspoke. multidesk is a windows based virtual desktop program. When I put X windows apps in more than one virtual desktop, they overlap so that the contents are muddled. Actually, you can still access the windows from the wrong virtual DT, I.e., a window that is supposed to be in DT 2 is still accessible in DT3, and obscures the contents of the proper window. -Pete Harold L Hunt II wrote: Peter, Are you saying that you are passing -multiwindow to XWin.exe AND running the window manager multiDesk?

Running Xfig on XP problem
Hi, I have uninstalled/reinstalled cygwin + xfig trying to overcome various problems I haven't manage to resolve the problems which are: First, I am assuming the cygwin installed properly. I have tried to install both the versions of xfig (3.2.4 and 3.2.3d). When I try to import a Figure (I have tried with a GIF format) I get the following error: can't find giftopnm and ppmtopcx. What I should do to fix this error? (there may be problems with importing/exporting other formats). Also when I open Xfig I get following message prompted: App-defaults old version. Go to xfig directory and type make install . This does not work, do you know what is the problem? Also, I can only run Xfig as administrator on XP not as a user. I am prompted /usr/shar/texmf/web2c/textmf.cnf: permission denied. I am puzzled about this because when I installed cygwin I clicked on all users and DOS. Can anyone help? Regards, -Jannette Frandsen
Re: numlock
Actually, the instructions were mine, not Harold's (they were in response to
a note from Harold).
Try this...
Start X without the NumLock modification. In an xterm, run xmodmap -pm.
You should see something that resembles the following:
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lockCaps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
mod2Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4
mod5Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
If Num_Lock shows up next to something other than mod2, then you'll need
to change what comes after clear when you run xmodmap.
Alternatively, you might experiment with the following scriptlet which tries
to figure out which mod key is assigned to NumLock...
numlock=`xmodmap -pm | grep -i num_lock | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $numlock != ]
then
xmodmap -e clear $numlock ${HOME}/.Xmodmap
fi
Of course, if your NumLock key was already assigned to mod2, then I'm not
sure what's going on. You might want to experiment with running xev. If
you've cleared NumLock from the keymap, then the value of state inside a
KeyPress/Release event resulting from pressing a key on the numeric keypad
should be 0x0 regardless of whether NumLock is on or off.

Subject: numlock Date: Thu, 06 Feb 2003 10:46:58 +
Is there a way to run XFree with the numlock key on without stopping the
keys from working? I followed the instructions from Harold's post at:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-06/msg00307.html
but that solution didn't seem to work for me.
Thanks,
JS.

Re: Implementation of sched_rr_get_interval for NT systems.
Huh, I really don't know why I typed -c instead of -u. This is the same patch
with addition of error checking on registry access as suggested by Robert
Collins. Now with the right diff options. I am working on submitting the
assignment too.
Vaclav Haisman
You're not wrong and it does matter.
I will give this function more inspection later, but for the future please
submit using the options that Igor specified.
Robert is right that you do need an assignment, too. This is adding new
functionality.
Thanks for the patch and sorry for the rules. :-)

The problem is that the ls entries only are 8 chars long, not enough to be really informative.

Re: Packaging software built with cygwin
The way I read GPL (but please correct me if I'm wrong) you should be able to write a fork off the current Setup that installs the Hercules and gets the Cygwin from one of the mirrors (of which you can download the list at the time of installing from cygwin.com). Technically, you would not be distributing Cygwin (because you would be using Red Hat's own distribution) but the effect would be the same. Your remaining problem would be that Cygwin is a moving target as you say, but Cygwin doesn't move all *that* quickly either, does it? I mean, you don't build Hercules against the latest snapshot do you? Of course, I have no idea how extensively you use the Cygwin API but my (arguably little, juding by the size of my projects vs yours) experience has always been that if you stick to POSIX compliance, Cygwin does the job quite nicely (and patches to Cygwin are usually welcome in case of error, provided you have a copyright waiver which I don't have). As for GPL rants: I'd be interested (off-list) in hearing your reasons for being against GPL, and even more in what alternatives you would propose.

Ok. I'm not going to start scouring random other mailing lists for cygwin bug reports so I suppose this situation will continue In absence of any details, it's fruitless to carry this discussion any further. Fine by me; it's been over the past year or so, as well, so bug reports at this point will be of limited use. However, are you saying that if we encounter problems with Hercules 2.17 (built against Cygwin 1.3.19) running with, say, Cygwin 1.3.22, you'll take a bug report on that and fix the problem? BTW, I'm not the only one to have this problem; there's a message on the Hercules list that was posted in reply to my announcement that I would no longer distribute the DLLs saying that his company got away from Cygwin for exactly that reason. (I'll forward it, if you like.) Hmm. Looks like you just couldn't resist, huh? No, I couldn't. The source tarball for cygwin is 4.6M. I don't understand why this is a huge hardship but, frankly, I don't really care. 4.6 MB times how many versions will I need to keep around? Before I removed them from the Hercules site, I had four sets of the Cygwin DLLs, corresponding to four versions of Hercules they were needed for. Every time I release a new version of Hercules, that's another source tarball I'd need. Further, is that tarball guaranteed to satisfy the requirement to distribute the source code for that version? Is everything that's needed in that one tarball? If so, can I get that in writing, so that if someone comes along later and alleges a GPL violation, I can say, No, Red Hat says that distributing this tarball is sufficient.? Otherwise, I'd have to keep around the entire Cygwin source, just to make sure I included everything that was necessary. I'm sure that's more than 4.6 MB. A setup.ini with just the cygwin DLL in it seems pretty simple. True. OTOH, when setup.exe changes, the format of that file is subject to change (see Igor's warning in the message where he first suggested that). I can insulate myself from that by distributing setup.exe, but then I'm back in the same boat of making sure that I distribute the source code that's used to generate it. Btw, perhaps it is not your intention, but I catch a whiff of innuendo here makes me wonder if you're really asking for help or just here to make some statements. I'm looking for a way to make it simple for Hercules users to install the needed support for the Cygwin version without violating any licenses, without having to keep multiple megabytes of multiple versions of source code around that nobody will ever download, and without making them install multiple megabytes of Cygwin environment they have no interest in using. It's no secret that I've opposed the GPL for many years. (I invented the term GPV in 1989.) However, I'm stuck with it, so I'm trying to do what I need done without violating it. That doesn't mean I have to like it. Supporting other people's distributions is not a core focus of setup.exe. However, if this is important to you it should be pretty easy for you to submit patches to do what you want.

If I don't use the tag, I get all the sources, but I'm getting files off the MAIN trunk that aren't tagged with cygwin-1-3-19-1. Yes. Cygwin incorporates things like newlib from outside winsup. Since cygwin does not own these, they don't get tagged. I assume the newlib people object to having loads of cygwin tags in their bit of src. I don't think that's what I want since I'll be getting changes that have occurred since the 1.3.19-1 release. How do I get the versions of w32api, newlib, etc. that were used to build 1.3.19-1 out of CVS? Tricky. Do you need to? Why not just build from HEAD, and see if your problem still exists? If it doesn't - great! If it does - you don't need to struggle with CVS to get it to give you the right files. If you really do need 1.3.19-1 specifically, I suggest you use the tarball - it *should* be buildable - otherwise there is not a lot of point in having it.

Re: Packaging software built with cygwin
Technically, the ideal solution would be to link against a set of static libraries. I believe this would require some significant work to make it possible. OK, it feels like we're getting into a circular argument. I am not insisting that anyone do any particular thing to Cygwin. My intention is to raise a perspective on a potential use of Cygwin which may or may not be desirable, feasible, popular or supported by the Cygwin community. Also, the most experienced Cygwin coders won't be that interested, because they *like* Cygwin-the-enviroment, as opposed to Cygwin-for-the-sake-of-one-program. Fair enough, I like using Cygwin-the-environment, but feel restricted in terms of deploying binaries into a non-cygwin environment. Even though the Cygwin installation procedure has been greatly enhanced and streamlined, in my opinion Cygwin is too heavy-weight for an average computer user to install and administer. So, if this is outside the scope of what Cygwin is for, then that is a reasonable answer... I'm finding mingw is working quite well (perhaps, the best of both worlds) but would prefer to keep my code clean (POSIX) rather than infected with extraneous win32 calls... You can - they just can't use the unix APIs. I use Cygwin for all my compilation needs, Cygwin-linked, or native Win32. So rather than upsetting the Cygwin faithful, would it be better to expand the support POSIX subset for mingw, rather than making Cygwin an easily managed light-weight dependency.

Online, you could distribute only the latest, known-working version of Hercules with cygwin1.dll and the source to that version of cygwin1.dll--no, you don't need the source to gcc (that's used to build it) nor the source to TeX (that's used for the documentation) nor the source to Linux (that's also GPL'd), why would you? For older versions, you could put a note stating that due to online space requirements older cygwin versions are not available online. If you don't have offline space issues, you could keep an archive around on your personal machine (or on CD or tape or punch-card or wherever) for emergencies. Hopefully in the future some good bug reports can be used to track down whatever is causing the backward-compaitibility to break, so this would no longer be necessary.

Re: Packaging software built with cygwin
Nigel Stewart Fiona Smith wrote: Fair enough, I like using Cygwin-the-environment, but feel restricted in terms of deploying binaries into a non-cygwin environment.

I agree that Cygwin is a very bulky solution if you only want to be able to run one program (ssh, or rsync, for example). So rather than upsetting the Cygwin faithful, would it be better to expand the support POSIX subset for mingw, rather than making Cygwin an easily managed light-weight dependency.

Detecting text type in a shell script
Hi,
I have been looking into the mailing-list archives and the manual but
could not find any answer to the following problem, which will certainly
sound trivial. I am release-engineering some software developed under
Unix. The thing installs just fine under Cygwin when the UNIX file
text type has been selected at installation type but breaks if the DOS
file text type has been selected. So, what I would want to have in the
./install of the package I am release-enginering is something of the
form:
#!/bin/sh
if [ ${cygwin-unix-type} eq true ]; then
proceed();
else
bail();
fi;
How can I detect what text type was chosen at install time? (So that I
can appropriately set/unset my cygwin-unix-type variable.)
Again, if this is something that has already asked and answered, I
apologize, I just didn't find it. Please feel free to redirect me to the
appropriate documentation.
Thanks!

Where abouts does rcs c{i,o} hang? You could strace a running/hanging c{i,o}
which may help finding the glitch. Or even better run in under gdb.
Could you provide a test-case on how to make it hang or what process you do
that makes it hang?

malloc() problem
There's also a bug right now that causes allocation of three times as
much memory as Hercules actually calls for. (I believe that one's
already been reported; it really hits Hercules hard, though, as it's
not uncommon to have Hercules allocate 256 MB of memory for the
emulated system's central storage, and a 768 MB allocation will drive
most Windows boxes to their knees.)
I'm not aware of any bug report along these lines. I must have missed
it.
A test case would be welcome.
One of our developers has come up with a test case for this problem
which I have pasted below. He's basically a windows programmer and
I don't think he can write a short program to save his life ;-)
The gist is, if you compile the program under cygwin, and use it
to malloc() say 4M then PageFileUsage from GetProcessMemoryInfo()
will be a little over 8M. If you compile the program using a
windows compiler then the same value is reported back as a little
over 4M (using windows malloc). Somehow, it seems, memory is
getting doubly committed for large requests.
I've been going through the code (last night's snapshot) but reading
malloc code is like trying to swim in molasses ;-) I have figured
out that malloc calls mALLOc() in winsup/cygwin/malloc.cc... I haven't
yet determined which sbrk() is being called yet. Once I do, I plan
to trace the VirtualAlloc() calls.
Thanks,
Greg Smith

Re: Re: apache 1.3.27 binary install problems
Jason, I finally got a chance to upgrade to the 1.3.19-1 cygwin1.dll and the mmap error has disappeared! Apache 1.3.24-5 is working fine along with PHP 4.2.0 on WinXP Home SP-1. Cygwin is pretty impressive - I've showed it to people at work and they can't believe it. Great job guys. --George If it matters, I think the error seemed to happen shortly after starting up apache and periodically even if I didn't hit apache with any requests so I don't think I could've come up with a specific test case. I've sucessfully used the build of apache (1.3.24) that came with Cygwin on Windows 2000 (SP-2) but I've struggled getting it to work on Windows XP (SP-1) using the same install files. I've read previous posts about the rebasing issue and they have helped get me past that error, but I still get this error quite often: $ C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\httpd.exe: *** recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed WAG Try the latest snapshot. There was a recent change to mmap that *may* fix your problem. /WAG Any ideas? If the above does not work, then strace httpd to get the exact Win32 error that corresponds to the above error. If you can post a small test case that reproduces this error, then the chances of the problem getting fixed is good. Jason ... Now when I try to start again I get: #2) Syntax error on line 241 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot add module via name 'mod_vhost_alias.dll': not in list of loaded modules I compared 1.3.24-5's httpd.conf file to 1.3.27's and the former has the syntax: AddModule mod_vhost_alias.c while the later uses .dll instead of .c so I changed .dll to .c in that section of httpd.conf. Is that correct? I think it resolved that problem because I move on to another error when trying to start apache: #3) httpd: bad user name nobody In httpd.conf on lines 318 and 319: User nobody Group #-1 Those lines weren't commented out but they are in 1.3.24 so I commented them out and httpd starts but with the rebase error I experienced with 1.3.24: $ C:\cygwin\usr\local\apache\bin\httpd.exe: *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\usr\lo cal\apache\libexec\mod_speling.dll to same address as parent -- 0x127 -- 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/

A test case is not a 218 line program. Sorry.
I did write a very small test case which malloced 4M and saw the problem
you described by watching memory size go up in task manager. The
problem seems to be due to the fact that the new version of malloc uses
mmap for requests over 256K and mmap is, for some reason, doubly
allocating private regions.
I've set the threshold up to a larger number in malloc and built a
new snapshot. This should work around the problem until we can figure
out what is going wrong with mmap. I've alerted our mmap maintainer
to the problem.
So, try the snapshot and see if it fixes your problem.
For your edification, the below is what I mean by a test case. A
test case should be source code which demonstrates the problem in
the smallest amount of code possible. The below has an extra bell
or whistle but it at least should be understandable without a lot
of study.
