gnugo-3.4
Hello, I've uploaded binary and source packages of version 3.4 of gnugo. This version is an update of the current 3.2. 3.4 depends on libncurses7 as pointed out by Charles Wilson in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-04/msg00135.html. The tarballs are here: http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/ar.burgers/gnugo-3.4-1.tar.bz2 http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/ar.burgers/gnugo-3.4-1-src.tar.bz2 The tarballs were prepared with generic-build-script.sh. No patch was required. The executable has been packed with upx. Teun Burgers

RE: [setup PATCH] SetDlgItemFont
On Sat, 2003-08-02 at 09:12, Max Bowsher wrote: Now, I don't think moving 2 lines of code and 4 lines of comments into a seperate function makes this clearer - rather, it obfuscates what is happening here. In case you are not convinced, here is the alternate patch, to avoid another round-trip of emails: I'm not particularly fond of the name SetFontPolicy. Better names welcomed. call it void PropertyPage::setTitleFont(). And I'm not convinced - this is appropriate to be a separate function. Approved - as a separate function, called setTitleFont. Cheers, Rob I have to agree with Rob here. What really should be done down the road[1] is to have another class derived from PropertyPage, say SetupWizardPage, which is then the base class for the various pages. The intended-to-be-rather-generic PropertyPage really has no business setting fonts. Keeping this functionality a separate member will help prevent it from becoming entangled in the core PropertyPage logic, and make it easier to move to a new class in the aforementioned future. And I even like the color (Sultan of... Whereever... in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). setTitleFont is about as good a name as I can think of for setting title fonts. (I'll fix the capitalization later ;-)). BTW, if I haven't said so already (memory is the second thing to go) I ***REALLY*** appreciate your work Max in shepherding my work though the often-agonizing approval process.

RE: [setup PATCH] Add icon to title bar
So this puts a small icon in the top left - like most programs have?
Does it ever! Gets it into the button thing in the taskbar too when you
minimize it; that was spotty in a similar way to the scrolly-wheel, some
machines it was there, some it wasn't.
Cool.
See what you've been missing? Have you even looked at my not-entirely-uncool

Robert Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: MS recommend using DeleteIcon etc rather than it for new code - and yes, its nice to free resources we've used :}. Resources can't be really freed in the Win32 subsystem. What you get from the resource functions is just a pointer to the memory-mapped image of the binary. It's the same as code. As long as the binary stays around so does the resource. You can only really free resources, if you have the resource in a DLL and you unload the DLL. benny

Re: [RFC]: Breaking out fontconfig and freetype into seperate packages
Nicholas, That is precisely the kind of info I wanted to see. You really went over and above the call of duty on this one. I am all for breaking them out into seperate packages. You have my approval to go ahead with this. We will need to coordinate some testing of your new packages with my modified XFree86 packages that have freetype and fontconfig removed from them. As for the defines used in building the server --- that is some great information! I inherited all of that crap and there wasn't much info about what was required and what was thrown in for good measure. There also weren't any notes that would help to figure out when certain defines were no longer needed. I would very much appreciate any help you can give in using more of the functionality built into Cygwin via the removal of extraneous defines. Lets do this thing. Let me know when you are ready for the next steps and what they are. Harold Nicholas Wourms wrote: Harold L Hunt II wrote: Nicholas, Can you explain to me what fontconfig and freetype2 are, specifically? Freetype2, quoting the homepage [1]: FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images). ... Note that FreeType2 is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing (e.g. colored text rendering, hollowing, etc..). However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use and uniform interface to access the content of font files. In other words, freetype2 provides the generic API for reading and preprocessing font files. It also provides the core engine for certain font-related features (such as hinting, anti-aliasing, greater multibyte glyph capabilities). It currently supports: *TrueType fonts (and collections) *Adobe Type 1 fonts *CID-keyed Type 1 fonts *CFF fonts *OpenType fonts (both TrueType and CFF variants) *SFNT-based bitmap fonts *X11 PCF fonts *Windows FNT fonts *BDF fonts (including anti-aliased ones) *PFR fonts *Adobe Type42 fonts (limited support) Freetype1 is an older version of freetype2 and is NOT API source or binary compatible with freetype2. Some applications still depend on it at compile-time, but I don't think XFree86 still does. Most notable is the fact that its library is libttf* as opposed to libfreetype* in freetype2. Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access. It is the middleware between freetype2 and Xft. But it also provides equivalent interfaces between freetype2 and other applications. From the webpage[2]: Fontconfig can: *discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common source of configuration problems. *perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts can be selected if fonts are missing. *identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of languages. *have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is minimized). *efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts, while minimizing memory usage. *be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display. Fontconfig does not: *render the fonts themselves (this is left to FreeType or other rendering mechanisms) *depend on the X Window System in any fashion, so that printer only applications do not have such dependencies. If you are interested, the XFree86 backend (Xft2) is described in detail on the same page. Do they consist of a couple libraries and some executables? How many files are involved in a package that contains them? freetype1, freetype2, fontconfig each consist of some headers, some shared data, some i18n/l10n crap, and a few utility executables. For instance, redhat has the following packages in Shrike(RH9): [Note that the freetype1 stuff is included in the freetype2 packages] freetype 2.1.3-6: - /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.2 /usr/lib/libttf.so.2 /usr/lib/libttf.so.2.3.0 /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3 /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/README /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/README.UNX /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/announce /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/BUGS /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/BUILD /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/CHANGES /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/DEBUG.TXT /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/FTL.txt /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/GPL.txt /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/INSTALL /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.1.3/docs/PATENTS

New on sourceware: XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1
The XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1 package has been added to the Cygwin distribution. Description: 1) Contains the Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0 shared libraries (DLLs), which allow X Clients compiled against Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0 to continue to operate. At least, that is the intention. -- Harold Hunt To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'XFree86-xserv' from the 'XFree86' category. You may need to click the Full button if it doesn't show up. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . If you want to subscribe go to: http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list is the appropriate place.
Re: Recent upgrade of xfree-xserv: missing DLLs
Fergus, The xserv updates have nothing to do with your problems. However, the move from 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 does have something to do with your problems. There is a new package, XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1, that contains the old DLLs for 4.2.0 X Clients. Please run Cygwin's setup again and manually select this new package (wait a few hours for it to show up on the mirrors). Let us know if this takes care of your problem.

I am not totally certain the two events (upgrade, message) are related: yesterday there was a massive upgrade of other parts of the XFree86 provision. Any connection? Fergus

In the meantime, you can keep the old DLLs in the same directory and it will allow older X apps to run side by side with new X apps. Understood. But when you upgrade via setup.exe the old dll's are removed. Maybe we need a separate lib package with the 4.2 libraries for the old apps. There is no way to get both the old and new dll's installed simultaneously using setup.exe. Ton van Overbeek

Re: Recent upgrade of xfree-xserv: missing DLLs
There is a new package, XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1, that contains the old DLLs for 4.2.0 X Clients. OK. XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1 eventually reached a mirror near me, and I installed it. Things now work that for a brief period did not. However, after set DISPLAY followed by start XWin -multiwindow followed by run rxvt -e bash, I still find that pressing # gives \, pressing ~ gives |, pressing \ gives and pressing | gives whilst these keys work just fine in bash. I do not mean to download every agony on readers, and will continue to try to sort this. But is anybody experiencing similar recent anomalies, and are they indicative of something obvious? Fergus

4.3.0-1 XFree86-etc package problem
Apologies if this has been reported before, but there seems to be a basic problem with this version. I've tried two download sites and in both cases the files are installed in the wrong directory - /etc/X11/X11 instead of /etc/X11. This caused some unpleasant symptoms which mostly went away if the files were moved back into /etc/X11. Unfortunately xterm still didn't work properly because the XTerm and XTerm-color files have gone missing from the app-defaults directory. I've reverted to 4.2.0-1 for the time being.

Re: [RFC]: Breaking out fontconfig and freetype into seperate packages
Nicholas, That is precisely the kind of info I wanted to see. You really went over and above the call of duty on this one. I am all for breaking them out into seperate packages. You have my approval to go ahead with this. We will need to coordinate some testing of your new packages with my modified XFree86 packages that have freetype and fontconfig removed from them. As for the defines used in building the server --- that is some great information! I inherited all of that crap and there wasn't much info about what was required and what was thrown in for good measure. There also weren't any notes that would help to figure out when certain defines were no longer needed. I would very much appreciate any help you can give in using more of the functionality built into Cygwin via the removal of extraneous defines. Lets do this thing. Let me know when you are ready for the next steps and what they are.

Re: 4.3.0-1 XFree86-etc package problem
This is weird. I checked the generated Makefile for xc/programs/xterm. Sure enough, it has install:: rules that copy, for example, XTerm.ad to /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. That example rule depends upont XTerm.ad, in other words, it reads: install:: XTerm.ad ... copy XTerm.ad to /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm However, this rule *never* gets run. I removed the XTerm.ad dependency and it magically works. I had to remove these dependences for several other install:: rules, now they all work. I don't know if I will ever try to get a fix checked into the XFree86 CVS tree for this... I have dealt with the xterm maintainter before and he is always right, so it probably isn't worth the effort. In any case, I have another update to XFree86-etc coming soon.

On Fri, Aug 01, 2003, Harold L Hunt II wrote: No. Older X apps will need to be recompiled for 4.3.0. This is a change that needed to happen. In the meantime, you can keep the old DLLs in the same directory and it will allow older X apps to run side by side with new X apps. One of the most common older apps that needs to be recompiled is rxvt. This seems to be a packaging issue: what is the best way for setup to (help) ensure that people upgrading to the new Xfree86 version get a re-compiled rxvt as well? Of course, in principle, rxvt is no different from other X programs that are not updated when Xfree86 is updated, but I think it is very widely used, and hence likely to trip almost everyone up when it stops working after they update the X packages. ..dave case
Another patch: Stop random GPFs on exit
Howdy Harold, it looks like you're really busy with the 4.3 updates, but here's another small patch for XWin that gets rid of the GPFs that sometimes happen when exiting the server w/-clipboard or -mwm. Basically, the X server was closing connections to the threads who were then attempting to re-open them and restart their main loops. This is fine for a server reset, but for a server kill you don't want to re-open the connections because the info you've got (things like ScreenPtrs etc.) aren't valid anymore. This patch just adds a notify call to the two threads which sets a flag so that when they do a longjmp() back to their main loops on an IO error they pthread_exit() and not attempt to re-access their passed in parameters/etc. -Earle F.

Imake.tmpl not found
Hi, I'm trying to build xfig on Cygwin/XFree86 without success. The weird thing is this worked two weeks ago. The only thing that has changed, as far as I can remember, is that I just upgraded to the XFree86 4.3.0-1 packages using the Cygwin setup program. When I run xmkmf I get the following error: mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config Imakefile.c:9: Imake.tmpl: No such file or directory imake: Exit code 1. Stop. Now I had this error two weeks ago when I first built xfig, and the solution was to download the XFree86-prog package. After I did this, the build went fine. However, I am now trying to rebuild xfig (for various boring reasons), and even WITH XFree86-prog 4.3.0-1 installed, I get the above error. I have searched my cygwin directory, and there is no Imake.tmpl file ANYWHERE. Has something changed in the latest release? This is driving me crazy! (It doesn't help that I really have very little clue about what imake/xmkmf does. :) ) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Damien

Re: [PATCH] patch.cc: cygdrive_getmntent () - Unify behaviour with fhandler_cygdrive

The reason this is there is to avoid long delays in mount table listings. Well, I guessed so, but it would be more convinient and consistent if calling getmntent() could retrieve all the accesible (mounted) drives. Anyway, I guess i'll be using readdir () :) Pavel -- COMPUTERBILD 15/03: Premium-e-mail-Dienste im Test -- 1. GMX TopMail - Platz 1 und Testsieger! 2.

login shell and .bashrc

how to debug dll compiled from cygwin in windows
Hi, I want to develop a windows program AAA.exe which loads BBB.dll. AAA.exe and BBB.dll are developed by using Visual C. And BBB.dll will load CCC.dll, and call some exported functions from CCC.dll. CCC.dll is developed by normal C in cygwin. The problem is how can I debug AAA.exe, BBB.dll and CCC.dll in one environment like Visual C? Or Any other choices?

vim speed issue
Hello, OK newbe cygwin user here, have read manual + faq ... so not just lept in with a question ! I have a 700MHz PIII 256MB, I have installed cygwin on 98SE. When running it can seem a little slow, ie man man takes 2-3 seconds, vim screen ripples as I scroll up. In the FAQ it states that upgrades can have speed problems, This is a new install. Is it a case of cygwin is just another process as far as 98SE is concerned so only gets a slice of CPU time ? In which case AOK, no probs I can live with it. Or is there something I need to tweak ?

xmlto package install question
Hi, my Cygwin xmlto installation (v0.0.14) is missing all the fo formats (dvi, pdf, ps) in /usr/share/xmlto/format/docbook, and the fo subfolder is missing from the /usr/share/xmlto/format/ directory completely. Without those files xmlto is unable to create the corresponding target document formats (provided the corresponding toolchain is installed). Talking to Tim Waugh, the author of xmlto, revealed that all formats are installed unconditionally. So I wonder why they didn't get installed on my system. Is anybody else missing those files or do they get installed on your systems?

Some information on your system (the output of cygcheck -svr as an uncompressed non-inline text attachment, to be precise) would also be useful in case you are simply missing some *-devel packages.

Re: loading DLLs created with Cygwin into Sun JDK
Interesting -- if I add the -Xmx256m flag to `java', my test case works too. The cause is the fixed `cygwin_shared_address' (set to 0xa00 in winsup/cygwin/shared_info.h). What happens with Sun JVM loads of Cygwin-dependent DLLs is that chunk of virtual memory gets claimed by the JVM, and then `open_shared' (in winsup/cygwin/shared.cc) defaults to a second MapViewOfFileEx after failing in its attempt to map the fixed address. The second MapViewOfFileEx attempt has a comment that says Probably win95, so try without specifying the address, which doesn't seem to be desirable in this case. When I rebuilt the Cygwin DLL using 0x2000 the load of my set of DLLs work fine (without the -Xmx256m flag, which was presumably just pushing VM allocation blocks around). Incidentally, does anyone know of a Windows application that can be used to see the VM maps in a given process.

Re: problems compiling ddd on cygwin
James, Actually, had you sent that particular make output (and the cygcheck output) initially to the list, you would have gotten the response you're getting now from me: one of your problems is that you are missing the XFree86-prog package that contains the necessary header files, so it turned out that my original guess was correct (the XFree86 project calls their -devel package XFree86-prog for some reason). In the future, to find out which package contains a particular file, you could use the package search page at http://cygwin.com/packages/ (just searching for X11/Intrinsic.h -- the first missing header -- showed the XFree86-prog package). Hopefully, this gives you enough information to solve any other problems you might encounter with your endeavour of compiling ddd.

However, we can have some private e-mail interaction now and follow up to the list later. I don't see anything immediately wrong with your system configuration. Plus, the make output doesn't seem to contain any error messages whatsoever (it's also very verbose, which might be the reason for the list manager bouncing it -- whatever possessed you to pass the -d flag to make?). In any case, could you please simply run make and send me the last, say, 100 lines of output?

Our specialty. :-) i've been trying to install ddd on cygwin on my windows xp box. i've been reading archive posts to see what problems others have reported, and the solutions offered. following suggestions to others, i've so far gotten through configure with: configure CC=gcc-2 --with-motif-includes=/usr/local/include/ --with-motif-libraries=/usr/local/lib --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include/ --x-libraries=usr/X11R6/lib but when i type make, i get errors that force make to quit. i am a bit of a novice; i don't know how to figure why make is quitting or what someone else would have to see in order to understand the problem and advise on how to fix it. does anyone know why make is quitting, or could somebody please tell me what i need to do next to fix this (including telling me what info to post for diagnostics)? thanks for your patience, james Well, for one, the log of the make invocation would be helpful, as it would show the exact commands you're running and the errors you get. You may want to compress it with either bzip2 or gzip, as it might be quite large. Alternatively, you could snip out the parts that definitely completed successfully. Some information on your system (the output of cygcheck -svr as an uncompressed non-inline text attachment, to be precise) would also be useful in
