PHP 4.3 ?
Stipe, I've been building PHP 4.3 series regularly and using it with Cygwin, and am thinking it'd be real nice to have an updated version in the distro. :-) If you like, I could make up a patch against 4.3.2 and work on getting it realeased. Thoughts? Elfyn --
Splitting up lib{xslt,xml2} packages
Hi,
I'm wanting to split up the lib{xslt,xml2} into seperate -doc, -devel, -python,
etc, packages. I figure I should wait until the next release, but just wanted to
hear is there's any thoughts pro or against this. This saves bandwidth for the
user that only needs lib{xslt,xml2} (the runtime(s)) and means there is no
change required to the setup.hint files on sources.redhat.com to this to happen.
My inted layout is
libxml2 the runtime library
libxml2-doc manuals, docs, etc
libxml2-devel headers and static libs
libxml2-python python bindings
libxml2-perlperl modules (XML::)
libxslt ...
libxslt-doc ...
libxslt-devel ...
libxslt-python ...

That could be very useful from those of us still stuck on modems.
When you do, you could move /usr/share/doc/* to /usr/doc/* to conform with
most other cygwin packages.

I've done that. I'm going to do this tomorrow if no one disagrees, as all it

I've done that. I'm going to do this tomorrow if no one disagrees, as all it takes is uploading new packages. I don't agree. (in mean, in principle, yes, but I don't think your proposed package naming/splitting is the right way to do it). #1. **Usually** it's nice if lib are the actual DLL- and linklib- containing package, and everything else goes into - packages. Like libncursesX vs. ncurses: libncursesX : DLLs libncurses-devel : static libs, headers, import libs ncurses : the rest ncurses-demo : extra apps The exception is if the upstream package itself is called libsomething -- for instance, libiconv or libtool. Now. I'm not familiar with xml/xslt -- are they distributed as libxslt upstream, or as xslt? #2. the two runtime library packages should be versioned. e.g. libxml2_N where N corresponds to the -N.dll version number (eg. cygbz2-1.dll is distributed in libbz2_1 package.) Now, libxslt contains three DLLs with different DLL numbers. There are two (three?) ways to handle this: a) bundle all of the DLLs into one DLL package, using the version number that is the maximum of all of the DLLs within. Eg. cygexslt-0.dll cygxslt-1.dll cygxsltbreakpoint-1.dll MAX(0,1,1) == 1, so these should be in 'libxslt1' package (that is, libxslt1-1.0.30-2.tar.bz2) You need an '_', though, when the real package name ends in a numeral (xml2, bzip2). This is what I did with ncurses, etc (sans underscore, of course) b) bundle and use the SUM of all of the version numbers. I don't know of any existing package that does this -- and it could lead to setup ordering errors if you ever move to (c), below. c) separate tarball for each DLL - this is what I did for libintl2 and libcharset1 (both from the same gettext source bundle). Even if you split up the DLL packages, all of the -devel stuff can stay in a single -devel package. #3) **Ordinarily**, -devel packages should NOT be versioned. So, your suggestion of 'libxslt-devel' (as opposed to 'libxslt1-devel') is a good one. There are exceptions to this rule; see libpng, libdb) -- So, I suggest libxml2_2 the runtime library libxml2-doc manuals, docs, etc libxml2-devel headers and static libs (incl. xml2-config) libxml2-python python bindings libxml2-perlperl modules (XML::) libxslt1all three runtime libraries libxslt-doc ... libxslt-devel ... libxslt-python ... Now, this requires updating requires: lines on some setup.hints in other packages -- but TRUST ME, it's better to face the pain now than later. --Chuck

two monitors
Hi, I have added another monitor to my pc. When I start cygwin (stratx from bash) the Xwindow HAS only the dimension of first monitor. I want that the Xwindow occupies all 2 monitors (I need a big desk for working). What can I do? Is there a configuration-file that I can change?

xinit: No such file or directory
Hello, I'm running into a problem which seems to show up often in the mailing list. I think I've tried all the suggestions there. When I use startx to start an X server, I get the message: + xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. + [ x != x ] I only run into this problem as nonadministrator. I have /usr/X11R6/bin in my path, and my Xfree installation includes XFree86-xserv. Before I discovered that nonadministrators have this problem, I had my own ~/.xinitrc. It was identical to the system default except at the end, where it called my own script to start my own xclients. To debug the problem, I changed line 1 of .xinitrc to #!/bin/sh -x to echo all commands, and also explicit diagnostic echo commands at the top. Since none of this echoing gets printed out, I conclude that ~/.xinitrc is never reached. To further troubleshoot why this problem only afflicts nonadministrators, I got rid of ~/.xinitrc in both cases. The discrepancy persists, even though both are using the system .xinitrc. I checked that the relevant files were readable and executable by everyone: -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 Users 8704 Jan 21 2002 /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 Users 667 Jun 27 04:08 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc The timestamp of xinitrc is recent because I made it run according to sh -x for troubleshooting. But as can be seen from the error message above, it seems that xinitrc doesn't even get a chance to run (i.e. same as ~/.xinitrc). I tried to put sh -x in the xinit program and find where things go wrong in there. But xinit is actually the binary executable xinit.exe. It took a while to figure out why I couldn't use less or cat on /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit. Because it is not a script, I can't stick in diagnostic statements. I tried startxwin.bat and xwin: $ startxwin.bat Access is denied. startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP $ xwin In both cases, nothing happens. Preferrably, I would like to get startx working. Thanks if anyone can advise on what to try next to find the problem.

run.exe won't start in shell (w2k)
Hi,
I'm trying to launch XWin via run.exe in a shell
script (eg /usr/X11R6/bin/run path_to_x-app)
This works fine under xp pro, but not under w2k: it
ends up with a windows message box saying: Error:
could not start dos_path_where_i_am.
If i try to strace it, it doesn't bug anymore...
Is this by design ?
Is there anything I can do to find out more
informations ?
Thanks,
Gaël.

multiwindow + XDMCP + X0.hosts == crash
This is with Cygwin 1.3.22, XFree86-base 4.2.0-1, and XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-42. The crash occurs both with Windows 2000 and XP. I downloaded Cygwin+XFree86 yesterday, and I am able to crash XWin.exe routinely. To reproduce on a fresh Cygwin+XFree86 installation, do: echo localhost /etc/X0.hosts XWin -multiwindow -query remotehost ...where remotehost is a machine running an XDMCP server. Things appear to work at first. But within a few seconds, XWin.exe crashes with an access violation. This does not happen if I remove /etc/X0.hosts. (Are you wondering why I want to do this? I want to run xwinclip, which must run locally, but I also want to use XDMCP to connect to remote machines. When I start XWin with the -query, -indirect, or -broadcast options, it does not permit localhost to connect.) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I would be glad to provide any additional information needed to reproduce and/or debug this problem. Thank you! - Pat
1.3.22/W2000: XDMCP connect problem.
Hi All, As mentioned in the subject, I'm using the version Cygwin 1.3.22 under Windows 2000. I'm trying connect a Linux server running Conectiva Linux 9 (CL9) + KDM as display manager. At the moment win only a gray screen when to connect with it. To connect I'm using the follow line command: XWin -fullscreen -query 103.1.50.63 -from 103.1.50.132 There's attached too the /tmp/XWin.log. I'm already using this same Cygwin with another Linux servers (Conectiva Linux 8 and RH9). And, another gay here can use that server (CL9) from a Cygwin client. Have you idea about ??

Re: Download from internet = 1Mb?!
There are ways of downloading an installation set that involve temporarily blinding Windows to your installed Cygwin. OK, here goes. You've got Cygwin up and running and maybe even up-to-date. You want to (1) blind Windows to its existence; (2) download a complete installation set; (3) recover your existing installation. (1) From Cygwin: mount -m /bin/remount.txt (This puts an instruction list to achieve (3) into a text file called remount.txt located in c:\Cygwin\bin\. It's a convenient location for picking up later.) Then issue the command umount -A. Exit Cygwin. Now, from Windows Explorer (or however you prefer to do it) rename the Cygwin folder to SomeOtherName. (You need to rename your Cygwin directory otherwise setup will still find c:\Cygwin\setup\etc\installed.db and a few other things. You don't want this!) That completes the blinding. (2) Now run http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and ask for Download from Internet. Download to some well-named directory like c:\Cyg0\ or similar. The default will give you a Base installation set. Change All Default to All Install to download a Full installation set. When the download is over, then I _think_ that as well as the two filled directories c:\SomeOtherName\ and, now, c:\Cyg0\ you will also have a new directory c:\cygwin\ . (I've just tried it, and I did have it, though it was almost empty.) You don't want this, so simply remove it. That completes the Download. (3) Now you want to recover your previous Cygwin installation. Rename SomeOtherName back to Cygwin. Then run c:\Cygwin\bin\bash to obtain a bash window (probably with the prompt bash-2.05b$. You might get a warning: could not find /tmp msg, but this does not matter.) From here, pwd # to confirm your current location /cygdrive/c/Cygwin/bin/ PATH=. # so that the mount command can be found bash remount.txt # to process the remount script Then exit. Then you can start Cygwin just as you used to. Fergus PS. I _think_ this is as simple as you can get.

Mounting cd images
Hi folks, I've been experimenting with using the cdrtools utilities under Cygwin -- thinking of turning them into a proper package for Cygwin setup little a while down the line. So far mkisofs and cdrecord work happily, but it'd be nice to be able to check the ISO cd image has built correctly without mangling the paths too badly. On Linux you can mount it read-only, as described in http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-3.html but obviously the Cygwin mount.exe is more of an analogy to the Linux version and doesn't allow this. Does anyone know of an alternative way to mount/navigate/read the contents of a cd image under Cygwin, or that could be ported to Cygwin? I guess the appropriate bits of the Linux mount code could be borrowed, but I don't have the requisite amount of nuts-and-bolts filesystem programming skills to do it. Not just yet anyway. Also, a tangential question (bit off-topic maybe) -- does anyone know of a program that can mount a tar file as a filesystem?

You've got Cygwin up and running and maybe even up-to-date. You want to (1) blind Windows to its existence; (2) download a complete installation set; (3) recover your existing installation. (1) From Cygwin: mount -m /bin/remount.txt (This puts an instruction list to achieve (3) into a text file called remount.txt located in c:\Cygwin\bin\. It's a convenient location for picking up later.) Then issue the command umount -A. Exit Cygwin. Now, from Windows Explorer (or however you prefer to do it) rename the Cygwin folder to SomeOtherName. (You need to rename your Cygwin directory otherwise setup will still find c:\Cygwin\setup\etc\installed.db and a few other things. You don't want this!) That completes the blinding. (2) Now run http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and ask for Download from Internet. Download to some well-named directory like c:\Cyg0\ or similar. The default will give you a Base installation set. Change All Default to All Install to download a Full installation set. When the download is over, then I _think_ that as well as the two filled directories c:\SomeOtherName\ and, now, c:\Cyg0\ you will also have a new directory c:\cygwin\ . (I've just tried it, and I did have it, though it was almost empty.) You don't want this, so simply remove it. That completes the Download. (3) Now you want to recover your previous Cygwin installation. Rename SomeOtherName back to Cygwin. Then run c:\Cygwin\bin\bash to obtain a bash window (probably with the prompt bash-2.05b$. You might get a warning: could not find /tmp msg, but this does not matter.)

RE: cygwin presentation ???
Appreciate the positive recognition of my humerous effort - for a laugh was the only agenda I was pursuing. For all those who might otherwise question my motives, political commentary is often couched in humor. The fact that some find it funny and others offensive means that there is a thread of truth weaving through it. The truth is the truth - whether that truth is self-evident, enlightening, or offensive is left completely up to the interpretation of the individual. Cygwin has some shortcomings. DUH. Of course - it's evolving. The complaint weaved into the humor is that cygwin is not for dummies - and that the dummies find this annoying. I'm kind of a dummy myself, so I can relate to the dummy community's complaints in this regard. Yet, I know that dummies are not the target audience for cygwin but in fact are more recent interlopers - if there is such a thing. That's the curse of success - the more powerful cygwin becomes, the more DUMMIES it's gonna attract. So the complaints about it's user friendliness are only gonna get more frequent and more vocal as time goes on. So for those who get a little bent when someone complains about the lack of wizards and plug and play, the fact is, such rabble wouldn't even be singing if cygwin wasn't first and foremost AN OUTRAGEOUS SUCCESS.

CygWin adding CRs, hurting CVS client/server communications?
Hey folx...currently using OpenSSH under CygWin on an XP box to communicate with a CVS server on a Linux box. Recently upgraded my CygWin installation (1.3.22(0.78/3/2), including OpenSSH to v3.6.1p1 (the latest available under CygWin), and now CVS client/server communications over SSH (CVS_RSH=ssh) don't work. I've tracked the problem deep enough to suspect that SOMETHING in CygWin converts LF to CR+LF line terminators across SSH. This pretty much hoses CVS client/server communications, as the CVS server interprets all incoming lines as byte strings including a CR at the end (it treats LF as the actual terminator)...especially bad for pathname interpretation, but lots of other things may be affected as well. I've tried altering the CVS server code to eat the extra CRs, but too many other things break (including file data exchange I'd bet...can't tell which CRs are valid data and which are inserted by the system) for that to be effective. Found a reference in the mailing list archives to a similar problem someone was having last October, but the solution was to install a snapshot from that time period which seems to be no longer available. I'm wondering if the fix for this issue never found its way into more recent versions of the CygWin system components? I've upgraded CVS on both client and server, but based on my testing, I don't think CVS itself is adding the CRs...please flame if I'm wrong on that one. g Not sure what else to do right now but do without version control for a bit...any better ideas? - Toscani -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

RE: _stderr, _stdout, _errno etc.
As it seems right now - This really isn't cygwin-stuff... this is plain gcc - and even beyond that, i.e. plain C programming. In other words; This list isn't the right place to ask about it... :-) (check www.cygwin.com about the scope for these lists!) This of course assumes that you've managed to install _ALL PARTS_ of gcc and it's associated tools. To verify this: read about reporting problems on the webpage (link above). Still - to give you a hint on how to obtain information: $ man printf This shows a 'printf' that has nothing to do with C-programming... as you can see if you read some of the text... The hint is the word shell in the initial NOTE paragraph. $ man 3 printf This one OTOH has a lot of association with C programming... In the first few lines you'll find #include stdio.h - this indicates that you _MUST_ include the stdio header to be able to use printf in C... My guess is that you have not done so, just because stderr and stdout at least are defined in stdio.h ( I guess fputc too). errno OTOH has it's own header, dirname might be in stdlib I guess - maybe or maybe not. Try to find out yourself. All these header files has a home, one of these homes is this: $ ls /usr/include/ press tab-key Display all 207 possibilities? (y or n) n 207 files/dirs... =-) the stdio-header is there too: $ ls /usr/include/std* /usr/include/stdio.h /usr/include/stdlib.h To look for stderr in the stdio-header: $ grep -i stderr /usr/include/stdio.h #define stderr (_REENT-_stderr) #define stderr (_impure_ptr-_stderr) #define _stderr_r(x)((x)-_stderr) Other helpful commands: help - information on bash internal commands info - search/read the info pages, in generel more structured than 'man'-pages man -K keyword - Look for keyword in all installed man pages (takes a while, but may proove helpful) man # keyword - look in section number # for keyword e.g. man 3 printf as above.

Re: ProFTPd usable on WinXP-HE, questionable to me
On Mon, Jun 23, 2003 at 02:13:31PM -0400, Jason Tishler wrote: s/Tischler/Tishler/ Sorry ;-) LocalSystem user. I don't know what OS Jason is talking about as there is no such user LocalSystem on WinXP (yet XP is decended from NT). The built-in Windows LocalSystem account maps to the Cygwin SYSTEM user. So in the /etc/proftpd.conf file I have lines like: User SYSTEM Group Administrators The above should be correct. but when I try to run proftpd, it refuses to start because it won't change user context. The user I run Cygwin as apparently doesn't have sufficient perms to change user context like this. Did you install proftpd as a NT service via cygrunsrv as indicated in the README? Yes. In brief, I did. Followed the instructions to the letter. Then when it didn't work, i wanted to run in in non-detached (undaemon-ized) mode so that I could try to understand where it was failing. Nothing i tried got it to work: neither doing it the usual way (starting it as an NT service via cygrunsrv) nor trying to watch it run stand-alone. http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/proftpd/proftpd-1.2.9rc1.README I don't know how to add such rights to the account: the user IS (*IS* *IS* *IS*) an Administrator on the local system (was created that way). See my next post. Can anyone loan me a clue about what can be done to fix this, i.e. give my user account sufficient perms to run proftpd as SYSTEM? You should be able to run proftpd under SYSTEM on XP Home. However, I do not have access to XP Home so I cannot verify this hypothesis. BTW, can you run other daemons such as inetd or sshd on this box? Not sure, I haven't tried yet.

RE: _stderr, _stdout, _errno etc.
Hi folks
I am trying to compile a file using gcc oin CYGWIN
I get undefined refrences to _sdterr, _stdout, dirname, _errno ,
fputc_unlocked etc.
Can you tell me what library are they in
basename and dirname (aka libgen) has not yet made it into Cygwin. They will be
available in the next in one of the upcoming 1.5 releases. When they are
available, you will need to include 'libgen.h'. For the errno and
std{err,in,out} symbols you need to include 'errno.h' and 'stdio.h'
respectively.

RE: crash on the first statement in main()
Hi ! I don`t have a clue, why this happens, but it seems I have a similar issue and this could be possibly related to your problem - so I post that here: I have problem with rockbox-uisimulator (see rockbox.haxx.se) on windows nt 4.0/sp6. It crashes before I can see the main window, and it also seems to happen when entering main() (or even before) - so for me it seems not just a problem of the application itself. It runs fine on w98/2000/Xp, but it crashes on NT4.0 see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailgroup_id=44306atid=439118aid=761446 for further information unfortunatly, regarding use of a debugger i`m a complete greenhorn...

(I'm building up steam to get going ;) Hannu, A side note: since the two versions of Windows don't share the registry, you only need to do mount once, on the machine on which you didn't run setup. Now, setup uses the same mount info to find the existing installation, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. What might not work is the saved local package cache directory - as the two versions of Windows have different ideas as to which drive is C:. However, if you had another partition/drive that was seen as the same drive letter (D:) by both Windows versions, you could keep the package cache on that drive and not change anything in setup at all. Another thing to beware of is changing the Cygwin root on either system. As long as you don't do that, and use setup only to upgrade, there should be no difference.

RE: _stderr, _stdout, _errno etc.
Hi , These are plain C question, that is why I asked them here. These are not due to not including header files. the gcc that comes with CYGWIN cabot find the proper libraries. That is y I asked this question. I thought somebody here might know what library will have thse functions in CYGWIN. Can u help me here Vikram From: Hannu E K Nevalainen \(garbage mail\) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: _stderr, _stdout, _errno etc. Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 22:53:58 +0200 As it seems right now - This really isn't cygwin-stuff... this is plain gcc - and even beyond that, i.e. plain C programming. In other words; This list isn't the right place to ask about it... :-) (check www.cygwin.com about the scope for these lists!) This of course assumes that you've managed to install _ALL PARTS_ of gcc and it's associated tools. To verify this: read about reporting problems on the webpage (link above). Still - to give you a hint on how to obtain information: $ man printf This shows a 'printf' that has nothing to do with C-programming... as you can see if you read some of the text... The hint is the word shell in the initial NOTE paragraph. $ man 3 printf This one OTOH has a lot of association with C programming... In the first few lines you'll find #include stdio.h - this indicates that you _MUST_ include the stdio header to be able to use printf in C... My guess is that you have not done so, just because stderr and stdout at least are defined in stdio.h ( I guess fputc too). errno OTOH has it's own header, dirname might be in stdlib I guess - maybe or maybe not. Try to find out yourself. All these header files has a home, one of these homes is this: $ ls /usr/include/ press tab-key Display all 207 possibilities? (y or n) n 207 files/dirs... =-) the stdio-header is there too: $ ls /usr/include/std* /usr/include/stdio.h /usr/include/stdlib.h To look for stderr in the stdio-header: $ grep -i stderr /usr/include/stdio.h #define stderr (_REENT-_stderr) #define stderr (_impure_ptr-_stderr) #define _stderr_r(x)((x)-_stderr) Other helpful commands: help - information on bash internal commands info - search/read the info pages, in generel more structured than 'man'-pages man -K keyword - Look for keyword in all installed man pages (takes a while, but may proove helpful) man # keyword - look in section number # for keyword e.g. man 3 printf as above.
