I did this already (I compiled binutils, cygwin and gcc-3.3.1), I got the same problem with the version of cygwin/libm.a as taken from cvs about the same time as Christopher created the 1.5.2 test release and I compiled the binutils snapshot from the same day. There were no problems with winsup binutils source some days before the libc.a problem was discovered (the days I tried to get perl to compile where I hit the libc.a bug because I linked against both, libc.a and libm.a which worked in the link stage but it failed to run the executable later). What is on my todo list now is to recompile cygwin binutils with gcc-3.3.1. Anyway, I like gcc-3.3.1, works like a champ for me. But wait until Danny Smith releases the final MinGW version, he sent me an updated cygwin.h file recently, so he's probably still working on it. That is the reason why recompiling gcc is also on my todo list (now the top entry). Gerrit -- =^..^=

Re: Xcdroast
Camron W. Fox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can xcdroast be compiled and used on cygwin? If so, how do you get around the root configuration issue? Xcdroast is simply a front-end for cdrecord and various other utilities. As such, it is meaningless to compile it for Cygwin/XFree86 unless the underlying utiilities work under cygwin. I would suggest going to the CDRecord homepage (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html). Look for cdrtools and read the README.win32 which gives instructions on how to compile cdrtools under cygwin. Questions related to getting cdrecord etc to compile etc could be directed to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list (since it is not a X application), but make sure you have done your homework first. If you can get cdrecord working, then you could look at trying to get xcdroast working under Cygwin. xcdroast is built with the GTK. Last I heard compiling GTK apps under Cygwin was not completely trivial. http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/ may be a good starting point. Others may suggest other sites. I'm not really up on this.

Signal handling tune up.
During my work on using the multimedia timer for setitimer I noticed that Cygwin was not optimized to handle 1000 signals per second. It starts trashing under heavy load. Attached is a tune up patch. It also modestly improves performances at light load and fixes a race condition. Some explanations are in order, here they are. 1) Note the pattern of frames on the stack 220 1565622 [sig] a 34108167 interruptible: pc 0x6100FCFB, h 0x6100, interruptible 0, testvalid 0 227 1565849 [sig] a 34108167 interruptible: pc 0x61010700, h 0x6100, interruptible 0, testvalid 0 222 1566071 [sig] a 34108167 interruptible: pc 0x610105E6, h 0x6100, interruptible 0, testvalid 0 snip snip 226 1576965 [sig] a 34108167 interruptible: pc 0x610105E6, h 0x6100, interruptible 0, testvalid 0 221 1577186 [sig] a 34108167 interruptible: pc 0x6101070E, h 0x6100, interruptible 0, testvalid 0 1840 1579026 [sig] a 34108167 interrupt_on_return: couldn't find a stack frame, i 32 ~: addr2line -e /bin/cygwin1.dll -f 0x610105E6 call_signal_handler_now /eroot/obj/i586-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/../../../../src/winsup/cygwin/except ions.cc:1188 ~: addr2line -e /bin/cygwin1.dll -f 0x6101070e unused_sig_wrapper /eroot/obj/i586-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/../../../../src/winsup/cygwin/except ions.cc:1221 What's happening is that when a signal handler terminates and another signal is pending (which is often the case in heavy load), Cygwin immediately starts a new one, expanding the stack in the process. Scanning the stack takes time, and when the limit of 32 is reached drastic actions are taken. Fixed with minor assembly changes * 2) movl$0,%0 # zero the signal number as a \n\ # flag to the signal handler thread\n\ # that it is ok to set up sigsave\n\ \n\ call[EMAIL PROTECTED] There is a race where the sigthread can start a handler for a signal that should be blocked. Simply interchanging the order still allows the sigthread to try to launch a handler (before the mask is set), discovers that sigsave is busy and takes cumbersome actions (e.g. Sleep). The patch moves set_process_mask all the way up to interrupt_setup(), so it is set in the sigthread itself. * 3) Posix says If a subsequent occurrence of a pending signal is generated, it is implementation-defined as to whether the signal is delivered or accepted more than once [RTS] in circumstances other than those in which queuing is required under the Realtime Signals Extension option. Cygwin takes the more than once path and increments sigtodo without bound. That's fine, except in the case of periodic exceptions that occur faster than they can be processed. There they should better be ignored. FWIW, that's a Posix requirement for timer_settime(). So, my (to come) implementation of setitimer examines sigtodo before generating an exception. To make this work I had to modify somewhat InterlockedDecrement/Decrement (myself-getsigtodo (sig)) to make sure that it always has the correct value. ** 4) What to do when an interrupt cannot be delivered has been modified to minimize delays. This went together with fixing (?) FIXMEs in setup_handler () and wait_sig(). See the saw_failed_interrupt stuff. There are also some minor and more obvious changes. ** 5) This is just an observation, about sig_handle (int sig, bool thisproc) The thisproc argument is set to rc != 2 in the sigthread. However it is possible for several signals to occur simultaneously and a signal can be processed with rc == 2 even when generated by the current process (or conversely). This could cause a SIGINT to be ignored (or not) when it shouldn't (something like that was discussed on the list recently). I don't fully understand the use of thisproc and have no suggestion. Fortunately the ChangeLog is much shorter than the explanations above. 2003-08-18 Pierre Humblet [EMAIL PROTECTED] * exceptions.cc (interrupt_setup): Decrement sigtodo and set the mask. (set_process_mask): Don't signal sigthread if old mask is more permissive. (sig_handle): Return -1 when no handler function is called.

Simply interchanging the order still allows the sigthread to try to launch a handler (before the mask is set), discovers that sigsave is busy and takes cumbersome actions (e.g. Sleep). The patch moves set_process_mask all the way up to interrupt_setup(), so it is set in the sigthread itself. I only applied the reversal of the movl with the call above since I'm not convinced that moving the set_process_mask into interrupt_setup doesn't introduce a race. It seems like your code could be setting the signal mask in interrupt_setup while it is also being restured in sigreturn. That would end up with the signal mask being indeterminate. cgf

Now that I look at this more, I think maybe this should be a 'rc == 1' rather than a 'rc != 2'. I don't understand their role. All of the calls in net.cc are sig_dispatch_pending (0). It's supposed to synchronously flush all pending signals. Only calling sig_dispatch_pending (1) should call the nonsync semaphore. This justwake semaphore is problematic as it is used in exceptions.cc, though. It will confuse wait_sig when signals are stacked up. That may explain the occasional signal hang reports. cgf

It doesn't do that anymore but that hardly matters because, as you say, it is possible to the current code to be confused by simultaneous signals coming from the outside and from the current process. The only way I can think of around that is to add another an internal sigtodo array to every process just for signals sent to myself and scan that and the sigtodo process table. I guess I'll implement that in the next couple of days. So, yes, this could be responsible for some strange signal hangs. cgf
[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: wtf-0.0.3-1
wtf(6) is a utility provided by some UNIX and UNIX-like systems including Slackware Linux and NetBSD. It translates acronyms and filename suffixes by looking up the definition of a term in various databases. I've added the OLOCA (http://cygwin.com/acronyms/) to the database directory, so the acronyms from the Cygwin lists will be found (yes, you can now really ask wtf is cgf ;-) ). There's a perl script in the source package to update the OLOCA database from the web version of the OLOCA for those who can't wait for regular package updates (also requires wget). See the README file for details. 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. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Publishing or Graphics and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com .

Great package btw, loving it so far... Slight problem though, if I have a $HOME/.wtf directory with databases and indexes in it then the wtf program no longer searches the databases in the /usr/share/wtf directory. If I rename my .wtf directory then the system databases are searched once more. Any chance that this could be fixed so that both directories are searched -- or is this a 'feature' ;-) Additionally, the wtfindex program cores if you attempt to index a database with only one entry.

Double check the following 1) Your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are fully up-to-date (for domain local access) 2) The cron service is running as the same user It might also be a good idea to cut Cygwin out of the equastion, and make sure you're able to do all of this from within Windows (trying your `net use' from a remote-telnet session would be a good place to start). There's also a trick you can do with `at' that might help. Type: at /interactive HH:MM cmd at the (Windows) command line. At (no pun intended) HH:MM a LocalSystem owned command prompt should pop-up, where you can try out `net use'. If it doesn't work (`net use'), it's a problem with your Windows configuration. Can somebody explain why this works on hosta and not on hostb? And if that explaination is because the share on hosta is public and on hostb it is not then please let me know what a public mount is and how can I make the mount on hostb public. I wouldn't even want to venture a guess. If you haven't already supplied cygcheck output from both machines, that would make a good data point. -- Elfyn -- 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: Various shell problems
From: John Morrison john dot r dot morrison at ntlworld dot com To: cygwin at cygwin dot com Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2003 10:18:56 +0100 Subject: RE: Various shell problems From: Dr.D.J.Picton Hi :) Thanks for the feedback, [snip] Unfortunately, I did notice problems with /etc/profile: Firstly, it sets stty erase ^? In my view the correct setting is definitely ^h (backspace). *GRIN* before we get into this discussion, I'd like to note the in my view :) To quote: Both keys essentially do the same thing, with one major difference. The backspace key deletes to the left of the cursor, and the delete key deletes to the right of the cursor. See below. I wasn't talking about bash shell input which does indeed work as described! Setting the erase character to ^? (delete) causes problems when 'normal' terminal i/o is used. What's a 'normal' terminal? Do you mean the one you start from the cygwin shortcut? If so, it works for me; what version of bash are you running? (it only gets set for bash atm) I'm using: GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(9)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Unfortunately there has been a slight misunderstanding here. I did mean the cygwin shortcut, and I am using the above version of bash. However... By 'normal' input I meant the 'dumb' input to programs which issue simple terminal reads, e.g. cat or ftp (as opposed to shells which do complex line editing.) I'll refer to this type of input as 'simple' input. For example, if I create a file using the cat command: cat test the line editing facilities are very limited. I find I can't reposition the cursor using the arrow keys. This moves the cursor, but the cursor key escape sequences are stored in the file! The only way to correct the input is to backspace from the end of the line, and the backspace key is the logical choice - I'm removing the character to the left of the cursor. This works if the stty erase character is ^h. However, if it's been set to ^?, things tend to break: 1. In a window started by the cygwin shortcut, I can't backspace input in simple terminal reads. The delete key does nothing, and the backspace key actually generates a ^h character! 2. In an xterm window without the resource *VT100*deleteIsDel: true Bash input works as advertised, but setting stty erase ^? completely breaks character deletion in 'simple' input. The backspace key generates an actual ^h character, and the delete key produces an escape sequence ... 3. In an xterm window with the resource *VT100*deleteIsDel: true Again, there's no problem with bash input. I can now set stty erase ^? and use the delete key as the character erase key in simple input. But this is all very counter-intuitive, for the reasons given above. Another thing I've noticed is that stty echoctl is set in an xterm session, but it doesn't actually seem to do anything. I would expect control characters to be echoed in 'caret' notation in simple input (e.g. ^a for control-A), and on other systems I find this very useful because it lets me know when I'm entering control characters. Is this a known limitation of the terminal emulation under Cygwin? inetutils (of which ftp is part) is at version 1.4.2 on GNU, cygwin's ftp is (GNU inetutils) 1.3.2. Could you try this version and, if it fixes the bug, lobby to get cygwin updated? I'll look into this when I have the time (which isn't right now!) In the meantime, the /etc/profile kludge will keep the users happy. But of cause, it's *your* /etc/profile now, feel free to hack it :) Thanks again for taking the time, J. -- 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/

I really wish that somebody would address this issue once and for all. I often here such things as a public mount but to date nobody has ventured a guess as to what a public mount would be and how it would differ from a non public mount. I think I have a situation here that clearly shows that something is odd whereas on one machine a mounted drive is available via cron and on another machine it is not. Both machines are setup nearly identically with the same user (in the same domain though geographically separated by thousands of miles). The only difference I see is that the versions of Cygwin and cron are different. I think Larry is actually speaking shares here, not mounts. Quite right. I don't know where Andrew got public mount. The text he quoted from my response to his original inquiry uses public share, not public mount. A public share is a 'Windows thing'. It isn't a 'Cygwin thing'. It's a share that allows unprivileged/unauthenticated users access. Setting it up simply means adding users of this type (i.e. 'Guest') to the share's permission list. I don't know if this explains Andrew's situation or not. I'm still a bit mystified though why he's so hung up on this public share issue. I thought it was put to bed the last time he asked in this thread: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg00659.html If none of this resolves the issue though, Elfyn's suggestion of comparing the output of cygcheck for the two machines is a good one.

Re: HLDS and Cygwin

But when I try to run both at the same time the 2nd one does not run at all. Sorry, I do not know what HLDS is or what it does, apart from it being of the server variety of applications. Is HLDS a free software project, an open source project, a commercial thing? If I kill hlds1 and run hlds2 it starts right up. If I run either hlds1 or hlds2 and try to even execute the other one from file explorer I get an error Unable to load engine, image is corrupt. Although if I run hlds1 and hlds2 from file explorer they both run fine. This doesn't really sound like a Cygwin issue. Is HLDS a Cygwin app or Mingw app [read: native windows app] ? I have seen on the net claims that cygwin has: NOTE: There are issues with the cygwin.dll and separating simultaneous user space. Use with caution! There *are* issues when running multiple versions of the Cygwin dll (cygwin1.dll), but not when running two Cygwin programs on a single installation. They suggest using SSH.COM's SSH solution for this issue. Who does? And if this entity suggests using ssh.com's solution for this problem then perhaps you should goto ssh.com for help. Has anyone else run into this? I tried to even run firedaemon from cygwin but cannot do it without admin so thats out. I also tried to run psexec but it does not work under cygwin either apprently. This approach was to try and get cygwin to start hlds as services by a non Admin user to get around the problem.

The only difference I see is that the versions of Cygwin and cron are different. I think Larry is actually speaking shares here, not mounts. Sorry for the incorrect terminology. Substitute public share for public mount. The reason people might not be explaining this is perhaps because it's just a case of common sense. Public meaning access-to-all, share, in this case, meaning a file share ...It really shouldn't need explaining. AFAICT it is a public, access-to-all, share. Tools from hostb appears to be the same style of share as Tools from hosta. in question is the same, userc. Now on hosta the T drive is mounted from //hosta/share. On hostb the T drive is mounted from //hostb/share (The share is replicated on both machines and has bascially the same stuff - Tools. This is done because of the thousands of miles of seperation between the two machines). A cronjob is setup for userc on both hosta and hostb doing merely: * * * * * net use /tmp/netuse On hosta it shows the T drive is OK while on hostb it shows the T drive is unavailable. hosta and hostb are both Windows 2000 servers. hosta is running Cygwin 1.3.20, cron 3.0.1-7. hostb is running Cygwin 1.3.22, cron 3.0.1-10. The situation is this: There are two machines: hosta and hostb. The user Double check the following 1) Your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are fully up-to-date (for domain local access) They are up to date, WRT to userc. 2) The cron service is running as the same user Cron is installed identically - running as SYSTEM. It might also be a good idea to cut Cygwin out of the equastion, and make sure you're able to do all of this from within Windows (trying your `net use' from a remote-telnet session would be a good place to start). I assure you the share is indeed in use everyday by everyone at the site. My understanding of accessing mount points (shares that have been mounted to a drive letter) is that if you telnet or login (or switchuser) in such a way as to have a passwordless login then mount points are marked as unavailable. Further I understand that cron runs as SYSTEM and switches user to the owner of the crontab. Thus a passwordless login has occurred therefore mount points are unavailable. Yet on hosta it works but on hostb it fails. There's also a trick you can do with `at' that might help. Type: at /interactive HH:MM cmd at the (Windows) command line. At (no pun intended) HH:MM a LocalSystem owned command prompt should pop-up, where you can try out `net use'. If it doesn't work (`net use'), it's a problem with your Windows configuration. But I thought, and perhaps I'm wrong, that is it not SYSTEM that I need worry about rather whether or not userc has access to the mounted drive (OK) or not (Unavaliable). I've tried the at command to no avail. No window is popped up. Yes I included /interactive. Problem is perhaps that hostb, the machine where the problem is, is in China and I'm accessing it via Remote Desktop. A cmd process runs, as SYSTEM, but there is no window. Apparently /interactive and Remote Desktop do not like each other! :-( that explaination is because the share on hosta is public and on hostb it is not then please let me know what a public mount is and how can I make the mount on hostb public. Can somebody explain why this works on hosta and not on hostb? And if I wouldn't even want to venture a guess.

So I created a .mailcap and put the following in there: application/msword; cmd /c winword.exe `cygpath -aw %s` Lo and behold, MS Word attachments now launch. Lather, rinse, and repeat for other MIME types. -- Jason Dufair - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dufair.org/ Give a man fire and he will be warm for a day.

finding out how much memory is available with malloc, gcc, cygwin
A program similar to the one listed below works for me on Linux but not under
Cygwin. The idea is to find out how memory I can allocate on the machine. The
Cygwin version keeps going (past 700MB), reporting that it has allocated more
memory than the machine has. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
#include stdlib.h
#include stdio.h
int main(void)
{
char *p;
int loop = 1;
long allocated = 0L;
const long PIECE = 1000L;
const long TENMB = 1000L;
long nextTenMB = TENMB;
while(loop)
{
p = (char*)malloc(PIECE);
if(p == NULL)
{
printf(p == NULL\n);
loop = 0;
}
if(p == (char*)0)
{
printf(p == (char*)0\n);
loop = 0;
}
if(loop == 0)
break;
allocated += PIECE;
if(allocated = nextTenMB)
{
printf(%ld\n, allocated);
nextTenMB += TENMB;
}
}
printf(final: %ld\n, allocated);
return 0;
}
Some environment particulars:
- cygwin 1.3.19-1
- gcc 3.2-3
- windows 2000, version 5.0, service pack 4

mod_auth_mysql
Hey all, I would like to build, CYGwin style, the latest mod_auth_mysql (ver 2.20) for Apache. The Apache directives have been updated in this version along with a number of encryption bug fixes. I've got the source from MySQL but there doesn't seem to be any info for CYGwin build. The CYGwin setup source download only provides a .c file. Can I simply implement the same changes from that to the new source? How about any special configure options? Could someone point me in the right direction with this?

php.exe for cygwin
I've got mod_php/apache-php installed and running on my cygwin dist, but one of the things I want to do is run php scripts from the command line. Is there a way for me to obtain php in the bin dir so I can execute it from the command line like I call Perl? I've looked in the archives, but not found any such info.

Re: vi startup problem
My apologies for not posting properly. Using Cygwin 1.3.22 on W2K. I've looked at the archives (extensively) and not found a solution to this. One thing I _did_ do is extapolate from other postings that the problem might be non-compatible versions cygwin with vi. To remedy this, I re-ran setup.exe and got all the curr packages. This seemed to do the trick. Was my assessment correct? Rgs, Zeb On Mon, 18 Aug 2003, Larry Hall wrote: :Aurangzeb M.

Death to sales guys Microsoft's Application Verifier (free) software identified this issue in just about every Cygwin executable: The application assigned an object (file, registry key, etc.) an excessively permissive security descriptor.

Re: vi startup problem
Well, not quite. The Cygwin version of vim is, of course, compatible with Cygwin. You could have been missing one of the packages that vim require (in this instance, looks like it was terminfo). However, since your cygcheck output shows all updated packages, it's not very informative in diagnosing your original problem, so I guess we'll never know. Igor On Mon, 18 Aug 2003, Aurangzeb M.

New package: wtf-0.0.3-1
wtf(6) is a utility provided by some UNIX and UNIX-like systems including Slackware Linux and NetBSD. It translates acronyms and filename suffixes by looking up the definition of a term in various databases. I've added the OLOCA (http://cygwin.com/acronyms/) to the database directory, so the acronyms from the Cygwin lists will be found (yes, you can now really ask wtf is cgf ;-) ). There's a perl script in the source package to update the OLOCA database from the web version of the OLOCA for those who can't wait for regular package updates (also requires wget). See the README file for details. 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. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Publishing or Graphics and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.
