This appears to be a CR/LF issue on the telnet server side of things. A trace shows that on the client side, a Return sends only a CR (the default key code for a Return). But, for whatever reason, the telnet daemon is sending a CR+LF to the login program's input stream, so it sees userid^M instead of userid, which, obviously won't work. Same goes for the password. It doesn't seem to be a CRLF/LF translation problem. First of all, the inetutils utilities are linked against /usr/lib/textmode.o which results in using textmode for all open descriptors, which haven't been explicitely opened in binmode. All pty related descriptors are not opened with O_BINARY. That means, telnet should filter out the CRs from all CRLFs. For the sake of testing I changed telnetd to using all binary mode. It didn't change anything. Finally I added a debug output to login.exe, to look what arives at login. The output is written using binmode explicitely, like this: FILE *fp = fopen (/var/log/login.log, ab); if (fp) fprintf (fp, Logon attempt: %s, pwd %s\n, username, pp); fclose (fp); The first line is what arrives at login when telnetting in using a telnet client on Linux (please ignore the file offsets, I had to extract the info from a file full of log): $ cat /var/log/login.log Logon attempt: corinna, pwd mypasswd $ od -c /var/log/login.log 272 L o g o n a t t e m p t : 312 c o r i n n a , p w d m 332 y p a s s w d \n Next, the log from trying to login using telnetd as from the current package (using textmode).

No CR or LF in the name and in the password but... 1. The user name is ok when getting it from the command line (the first call to login by telnetd is done like this: `login -f name'. 2. In the second an third attempt, the user name is read from stdin by login directly. The username is never transmitted at all, regardless of using Enter or Ctrl-J. 3. The password is read from stdin by login in all three cases. For some reason the password goes through correctly when using Ctrl-J but not when using Enter. I also created a log with the telnetd which is using explicit binmode. The log is *exactly* the same as with the above standard telnetd so I don't repeat it here. As you noted, when using Ctrl-J on the first time I enter the username, it works. But as soon as login takes over, no chance anymore since the username never arrives at login. Unfortunately I don't see how that can be the fault of telnetd or login?!? Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc.

If anyone *would* prefer to have an online form to generate the message to cygwin-apps (and possibly the message to cygwin-announce once the update has been accepted), that's certainly something I can look into as well. One advantage of the web form is that it (or the processing script) can verify that all the necessary elements are present, and that the links are accessible and the files uploaded correctly (if MD5 sums are provided), before sending the message out. We might need to distinguish between messages that actually contain package files and those that simply propose to package something. Also, automated sending to cygwin-announce would eliminate lots of cut-and-paste errors (especially in the categories). I think it might be a good idea to have an option in the web form to send the message to the originator instead of directly to cygwin-apps. That way, she could modify whatever parts of the message don't seem quite right and then forward the message to cygwin-apps.

See below. inetutils utilities are linked against /usr/lib/textmode.o which results in using textmode for all open descriptors, which haven't been explicitely opened in binmode. All pty related descriptors are not opened with O_BINARY. That means, telnet should filter out the CRs from all CRLFs. Telnet has specific protocol control for handling carriage control. Certain characters are special and treated in a special way. 0x00 is a no-op character, meaning the daemon should not do anything with it. 0x0d (cr) is carriage-return and 0x0a (lf) is line-feed. When an eol is received by the telnet client, it transmits crlf, if the crlf telnet option it enabled, otherwise, it sends crnul ((yes, 0x0d,0x00). This is largely done by the client, but the server can request some modifications. In c3270's case, the crlf option is off (with really no way of turning it on), so it will always generate crnul as an eol when Return is pressed. I've just run an interesting little test and found what I think may be the real problem. After getting a successful login I did the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ od -c ret ret ret ctrl-j ctrl-j ctrl-j ctrl-d 000 \0 \n \0 \n \0 \n \0 \n \n \n 012 Notice the \0's ? From above, if the crlf option is turned off, the client sends 0x0d,0x00. It appears the telnet daemon is forwarding on the 0x00 as part of the data stream. According to RFC 854, a crnul combination is supposed to be treated as a straight carriage-return, so the daemon is supposed to turn that pair of characters into a single cr character. You can run c3270 in trace mode (c3270 -trace hostname the trace appears in /tmp/x3trc.pid, make sure you don't have $DISPLAY set) to see the data stream from the clients point of view. It's only this special combination crnul that has this requirement. [snip] See what happens? No CR or LF in the name and in the password but... 1.

It's because a crnul is actually being sent as part of the data stream to login. So, in the case of the above, login sees: useridcr \0passwordcr And the first character the shell would see would be \0 I also created a log with the telnetd which is using explicit binmode.

But as soon as login takes over, no chance anymore since the username never arrives at login. Unfortunately I don't see how that can be the fault of telnetd or login?!? It really depends on weither telnetd is implementing crnul processing correctly. As I've said, several other unix telnet daemons process this correctly, so it's still a Cygwin telnet daemon problem (but not, strictly, a crlf problem). Corinna -- Peter A.

Re: XWin works on Win2K but not on some WinXP clients [FIXED]
Kirk Woellert's problem with XP clients has been fixed, sort of. I talked to him on the phone for a few hours on Friday and walked him through some debugging. Here is what we found out: 1) We could ssh from XP to Linux (TCP protocol). 2) We could tunnel X apps over ssh from the Linux box to display on the XP box (TCP protocol). 3) We could natively display X apps by exporting DISPLAY on Linux box, pointed to XP box (TCP protocol). 4) We could not (nor could X-Win32) get an XDMCP login on the XP box for the Linux box (UDP protocol). 5) We could run the echo service on the Linux box on port 7 and use a Java echo client for UDP to verify that UDP to Linux box worked (UDP protocol). 6) It was revealed that there are really two parts of the network here. Not much is known about whether port blocking is in effect between the two parts. 7) Removing the troubled hosts from the network and hooking them to a stand-alone hub with assigned IP addresses allowed XDMCP to work. 8) We thus confirmed in #5 that UDP was not blocked in general, but #7 indicates that UDP port 177 is blocked between the segments. It turns out that all of the Windows 2000 machines were on one segment, while the Windows XP machines were on another segment. The problem was not the OS, it was that one segment has UDP port 177 blocked. Thus, we determined that the problem is in the network that the machines are attached to; this may or may not be by design. In any case, it isn't a problem with Cygwin/X. :) Harold

Can't type in login window via XDMCP
Hi folks, First thanks to all who contribute. Xfree on Cygwin has been great. However, I was seeing 2Gb+ XWin.log files and felt I needed to update. SO I updated today and now I can't login via XDMCP. Here's the command line I use: c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xwin -query zephyr.mydomain.com -from 192.168.1.4 The system I'm logging into is a RH ES2.1 server. I've been using the same setup for months now. The problem is that I can't type in the login window. Nothing appears. The only thing I can see getting thru is the Caps Lock, which I find very strange. Even if I start xwin and then twm and an xterm I can't type in the xterm. I do see a message in /tmp/XWin.log: (EE) Unable to locate/open config file InitOutput - Error reading config file Do I need a config file? I haven't used one before. I found this message: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00303.html and tested http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/XWin-4.3.0-20-Test01.exe.bz2 and I can login.

Xaw - Problems with keyboard focus easy to fix (Doh!)
There is a fix in the Xaw library for fixing the VendorShell, just as in
LessTif. I simply enabled a Windows-specific version of this fix based
off of Zhangrong Huang's LessTif fix.
The patch is attached. I did a build test of this and ran a
non-recompiled xterm.exe against it: keyboard focus worked without the
mouse pointer being in the xterm window.
I'd like to get this released quickly, but I have to work for the moment.

Kirk, Well then, I suppose the next step would be to do a telinit 3 (to stop gdm), then edit xinetd conf file to run echo on UDP port 177, restart xinetd, then use that udp echo client that we found to test if echo works from the Windows XP machine plugged into its normal jack to gaia plugged into its normal jack.

Not much is known about whether port blocking is in effect between the two parts. 7) Removing the troubled hosts from the network and hooking them to a stand-alone hub with assigned IP addresses allowed XDMCP to work. 8) We thus confirmed in #5 that UDP was not blocked in general, but #7 indicates that UDP port 177 is blocked between the segments. It turns out that all of the Windows 2000 machines were on one segment, while the Windows XP machines were on another segment. The problem was not the OS, it was that one segment has UDP port 177 blocked. Thus, we determined that the problem is in the network that the machines are attached to; this may or may not be by design. In any case, it isn't a problem with Cygwin/X. :) Harold

Kirk,
Well then, I suppose the next step would be to do a telinit 3 (to stop
gdm), then edit xinetd conf file to run echo on UDP port 177, restart
xinetd, then use that udp echo client that we found to test if echo
works from the Windows XP machine plugged into its normal jack to gaia
plugged into its normal jack. We know that echo worked on UDP port 7,
but proving that it does or does not work on UDP port 177 would tell us
if they know what they are talking about :)

First I tried doing a 'reinstall' to no effect. Then I uninstalled everything and did a complete reinstall with the latest versions of Cygwin and Xfree86. The reinstall seemed to go well but I saw one script error reporting a 'null' value somewhere.

So, here tis a version that, well the changelog explains the overview, and io.h the detail. Overhead wise, this is reasonably low: 1 strlen() per IO call minimum. 1 unicode conversion, only if needed. And a couple of tests for do we do unicode for every call. Which are all inline aren't they? I guess I don't see the overhead as significant compared to the strlen generation. I'd rather just make the decision at initialization time if we can. Possibly we could extend the function loader to either call FooW or FooA as appropriate when Foo is specified. Given that we know on which system we run, we can use the wincap information to load the correct function through the autoloader functionality. This would require a decision only on the first time a function is called. There's just a problem with the header files. Let's say, all the other Cygwin code uses the non-explicit name (e. g. CreateFile, not CreateFileA or CreateFileW). The decision which function actually to use is done in the autoload part. The problem is this: The Win32 header files decide by themselves, which of the functions to use: #ifdef UNICODE #define CreateFile CreateFileW #else #define CreateFile CreateFileA #endif To workaround this, we must care for undefining all affected function names before using them, probably best in an autoload.h header or so. Also we would need a fairly big change to path_conv. It would have to create the POSIX path in ascii on 9x and in wide char on NT. If the path name creation is done in wide char directly, we neither need a strlen, nor an explicit conversion from ascii to wide char. I think this method is preferable over the IOThunkState technique since it will have more or less no speed impact. It also has the advantage, that the Cygwin code doesn't have to use all new function calls like create_file instead of using the real Win32 function calls directly.

There's more to it than that. you MUST NOT hand the A series call longer paths than MAX_PATH, they /really/ don't like it. That's easily straightened out in path_conv. And, structures like the FindNext* details change in definition when UNICODE is defined. I was trying to avoid all that complexity, which is significant, by staying in a thunk approach. Yep, I agree, that's an extra problem. But it doesn't invalidate the general idea of putting the work into autoload and path_conv. The FindFile example might be something which justifies the use of wrapper functions for these very cases. I decided against redefining the 'real' calls because I figured some areas may want to use the 'real' calls directly, and only the auto-adjusting parts of cygwin should have the ansi/wide dichotomy. I don't know if I understand you right. I was only talking about calls which are affecting the file system. Other calls like CreateSemaphore or what not should still work as before. The autoload part would define some new LoadDLLfuncBLURB which is used only for the affected functions. I (and I assume cgf) was not talking about using that approach for all functions with an ascii and a wide char implementation.

Well, that somewhere is ftello64.c line 111. fp-_offset has a 32 bit
sign extended value. Anybody know how it got there?
That can't be it. fp is of type FILE which is actually mapped to
__sFILE64 in 64 bit case. See newlib/libc/include/sys/reent.h.
_offset is of type _off64_t there.
I think you misunderstood. fp-_offset is a 64 bit type, but at the
ftello call in question, it contains a value that must have come from a 32
bit sign extension. That's why I asked for help, because I have to figure
out what/who put it there.
I have attached a test case that shows the problem. It is on line 58 of
lseekr.c.

It is a bug in gcc. The above code compiles okay with C, but
strangely, not C++. For some reason, g++ does not immediately
mark the the definition of global constants as public when they
are defined after a prior declaration. I have a fix that I will
submit to gcc-patches after reg-testing
On second thought, I don't think I will.
In c++, const variables at namespace scope have internal linkage unless
declared with explicit extern (as you have done). But I've just run this
testcase on gcc and VC and I get essentially the same error reports:
/* const.cpp */
/* 1: TREE_PUBLIC is set when dllexport attribute is handled. */
__declspec(dllexport) int bar = 42; // OK
/* 2: This is OK too. TREE_PUBLIC is set, because of 'extern' */
extern __declspec(dllexport) const int baz;
const int baz = 42; //OK
/* 3: TREE_PUBLIC _not_ set. Nor should it be. consts are local
by default in c++ */
__declspec(dllexport) const int foo = 42; // ERROR
/* 4: TREE_PUBLIC _not_ set. */
extern __declspec(dllexport) const int faz;
__declspec (dllexport) const int faz = 42; // ERROR
int fun()
{ return foo + faz; }
I thought that case 4 should be okay because of the 'extern' on declaration,
but if GCC wants to maintain consistency with native compiler, 4 should report
an error as well. The error mesage that VC emits is: error C2201: 'faz' : must
have external linkage in order to be exported/imported

RE: Perl CPAN module help
Thank you for your help. I understand what you are saying here. I will try
installing under /usr/local. My question, though, is what do I do about all
the modules I've installed under /usr? How do I deal with them? Do I need to
re-install them under /usr/local? Do I then need to somehow remove them from
/usr? Or can I have modules under both directories, leaving the ones that
work under /usr and place new ones under /usr/local?

You shouldn't use force install unless you really know what
you're doing. If your module fails a regular install you should
investigate the problem and find the solution rather than do a
force install. With a force install you are likely to install
modules which fail some way on your system and hence shouldn't
have been installed.

The Find.pm line in question is: { $wanted_callback-() }; #

When installing LWP you are asked whether you want to install the
GET, HEAD, and POST programs. You have chosed yes or the force
install did it for you. Either way, it was discovered that HEAD
exists (as /usr/bin/head.exe) and Perl is trying to remove it, but
although which head says /usr/bin/HEAD, there really is no
/usr/bin/HEAD.exe, it's /usr/bin/head.exe. The problem is
that which matches case insensitively, but rm doesn't.
The solution is: Don't install CPAN modules under /usr, use
/usr/local! When you install modules without CPAN, use the
steps
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local
make
make test
make install
this is done with the CPAN shell by setting
cpan o conf makepl_arg PREFIX=/usr/local
cpan o conf commit
Any idea what is going wrong, or is the question better posed to
a perl forum?
The head vs HEAD is a Cygwin thing, so I think it belongs
equally well here.

Gary Nielson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for your help. I understand what you are saying here. I will try installing under /usr/local. I forgot to mention that Perl will not, by default, search for modules in /usr/local. This is a disadvantage, but it's worth it, in my opinion. The simplest way to make Perl look for modules there is to add PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl to your personal startup file (~/.bash_profile or whatever). My question, though, is what do I do about all the modules I've installed under /usr? How do I deal with them? Do I need to re-install them under /usr/local? Do I then need to somehow remove them from /usr? Or can I have modules under both directories, leaving the ones that work under /usr and place new ones under /usr/local? If they're working properly, you might as well leave them alone. If they're broken, re-install them with PREFIX=/usr/local. Note that perl will search the directories specified in PERL5LIB before the other directories, so if you have a working module under /usr/local and a broken one under /usr, then the working one under /usr/local will be used. The default search path: $ unset PERL5LIB $ perl -wle 'print for @INC' /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . Now, note how /usr/local/... comes first: $ export PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl $ perl -wle 'print for @INC' /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . You may try to remove modules under /usr, but be careful so you don't remove things you need. If you really want to remove them, I'd rather do that by uninstalling Perl, removing everything under /usr/lib/perl5 and start over with a clean Perl installation. Peter -- Peter J.

Re: Perl CPAN module help
Hi, I just read what Peter said about 'install' and 'force install'. I had to use 'force install' as well for installing the BerkeleyDB module, as 9 out of 20 tests were failing. So far it is running fine, but I haven't done any heavy usage tests yet, just some simple storages and retrievals. I'm using Perl v5.8.0-3, BerkeleyDB v0.25 and db3.1 v3.1.17-2, but saw this behaviour ever since I started with BerkeleyDB v0.21. I'm wondering whether anybody else is seeing this behaviour and managed to do a plain install. I've attached the output I get from 'test BerkeleyDB' below. I also do get warnings when doing a normal install for other modules that they are not allowed to install into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/, so they install into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/.

I think for this scenario, that posix behaviour allows the most accurate representation of the variety programs may encounter on cygwin at runtime. Therefore we'll get the best results (and perhaps uncover a few portability bugs) going that way. We have two choices (no particular order of preference): a) make MAX_PATH and posix friends the maximum length path cygwin will accept/return. Return ENAMETOOLONG on path calls on win9x, or winnt FAT[32] calls. Update pathconf to return appropriate values. b) blow away MAX_PATH and MAXPATHLEN so that programs using cygwin fallback to pathconf, or 'good enough for me' static arrays. Update pathconf to return appropriate values. Well, I guess you meant PATH_MAX here. Just to reiterate, MAX_PATH is a Windows specific constant, giving a maximum size for path names when using ASCII mode. Even this MAX_PATH constant doesn't actually reflect the maximum path length possible in all cases: CreateDirectory for instance can only create directories with a path length up to 248 characters. So even on native Windows, the constant is used as an upper limit, e. g. usable for static buffer sizes in applications. Having said that, however, you must not change MAX_PATH. I would prefer to change PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN to an arbitrary big value as, e. g. the same as on Linux, 4096, or even the biggest possible plus one: 32768. The latter is probably the better value.

[wayne@cs.toronto.edu: Cygwin-1.5.5 sscanf on floats: 20 times slower than 2 years ago]
Since scanf and the floating point arithmetic is implemented in newlib, I've redirected this message there. Does anybody have an idea, what could slow down float scanning in sscanf by a factor of 20?

Until recently I was running W2k with an ancient version of cygwin; I don't know what version it was, but if anybody cares I've put a copy of cygwin1.dll (dated 2001-May-20) at http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~wayne/tmp/cygwin1-old.dll.gz It worked fine on W2k for the past 2.5 years. I recently upgraded to Windows XP and this old cygwin stopped working. No problem, I say, it's also time to upgrade cygwin, so I go install the most recent version. Everything works fine, except one of my I/O intensive simulations starts running about 20 times slower! After copious mucking about, I finally narrowed it down to sscanf: sscanf on double precisions numbers, such as double a; char line [80]; fgets(line...) sscanf(line, %lf, a); runs about 20 times slower than in the old cygwin. Replacing the sscanf with a call to atof gets back the old speed. It's only noticable, of course, if you're scanning a huge file. In my case, it's a 60MB file that contains tens of thousands of lines of ASCII floating point numbers. So, consider this a bug report. A slowdown of a factor of 20 is not really a good thing.

Building bison?
Hi, This may well verge on FAQ-like issues, but a quick search didn't find it. I've been investigating a possible bug in bison, and talking with the folk on the bison-bug mail-list. Fairly reasonably, their first request was that I build their latest version and see if the bug still occurs. An they gave me a version numbered 1.875c (the current cygwin version is 1.975b, so they are pretty similar). 1.875c behaves nicely to a ./configure and make but it then crashes immediately when I give it my input script. I was wondering whether I should have expected that, or whether packages generally get patched when converted to cygwin? I ask because I seem re recall some posts on this list a few months ago, which were about how much something needed patching, every time new sources where brought over from GNU? So, are any special actions required when getting source from other places than via the cygwin setup program?

Re: [wayne@cs.toronto.edu: Cygwin-1.5.5 sscanf on floats: 20 times slower than 2 years ago]
Since scanf and the floating point arithmetic is implemented in newlib, I've redirected this message there. Does anybody have an idea, what could slow down float scanning in sscanf by a factor of 20? Thanks! Just to be pedentic, I realized that it's worse than a factor of 20. My *entire simulation* slows down by a factor of 20; there's significant other computation in it. So the scanf slowdown is probably closer to hundreds of times. *Something* fishy must be going on. :-) -- 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/

Hi,
I'm having a problem getting MS-DOS paths to work properly with
VPATH under
GNU Make 3.80. The problem is that the VPATH processing tacks on
a Unix path
separator ('/') to the end of the VPATH giving me a source file
name something
similar to code\src\fw/foo.c. This is a significant problem for
the compiler
I'm using (NOT gcc) since it spits out map and list files based
on the stem of
the input source name which it decides is 'fw/foo.c'.

IMO it should help to solve all your problems. cygpath is part of the base
package so there is no need go looking for it either; if you have cygwin
then you have cygpath too.

RE: Bug in gzip's stdout handling
-Original Message-
From: Igor Pechtchanski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sent: 14. november 2003 17:22
To: Thomas Hammer
Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: RE: Bug in gzip's stdout handling
...
Hi Igor,
This turned out to be a very long mail, so here's the summary:
- I figured it out. I had forgotten to delete the original mount table from
the registry before reinstalling cygwin. All my drives were still mounted in
textmode, and that's why cat and redirection failed.
- I don't know why mount and cygcheck -svr gives different reports regarding
mount mode.
- I have one question it would be nice if you answered. It's at the end of
the email.
And here's the rest of the email:
(2) shows that you used to have text mounts. Your cygcheck.out shows
binary mounts, so that's probably not the problem.
I forgot to mention that I reverted to my original version of cygwin (with
DOS-style newlines) when I discovered that using UNIX-style newlines didn't
fix the problem.
I did the following:
1) Renamed c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin_old
2) Reinstalled cygwin, specifying UNIX-style newlines when asked
3) Test if cat file.bin | gzip -c filecopy.gz produced a valig gz-file.
It didn't
4) Deleted c:\cygwin and renamed c:\cygwin_old to c:\cygwin
I did not delete the registry keys or the local cygwin package directory. I
don't know is this matters or not.
I didn't know about text vs binary mounts until you mentioned it, and did
some reading up. One weird thing I came accross is that if I run mount, the
information seems to conflict with the information from cygcheck -svr.
$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
s: on /cygdrive/s type user (textmode,noumount)
The relevant lines from cygcheck -svr:
a: fd N/AN/A
c: hd NTFS 57231Mb 47% CP CS UN PA FC
d: cd N/AN/A
o: net N/AN/A
s: net NTFS 76308Mb 76% CP CS UN PA FC
C:\cygwin / system binmode
C:\cygwin/bin /usr/bin system binmode
C:\cygwin/lib /usr/lib system binmode
. /cygdrive system binmode,cygdrive
It looks to me as if mount claims all mounts are text mounts (which would
explain my problems, I guess). Whereas cygcheck -svr claims all my mounts
are binmode.
I'm beginning to wonder if I did something wrong when reinstalling cygwin
and specifying binary mode. I'm giving it another try now.
1) Renamed c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin_old
2) Renamed the HKCU\Software\Cygnus Solutions registry key
3) Renamed the local cygwin package dir.
4) Reinstalled cygwin, specifying UNIX-style newlines when asked
5) Test if cat file.bin | gzip -c filecopy.gz produced a valig gz-file.
It didn't.
Running mount gives the same result as before (shows textmode on all
mounts).
I tried installing cygwin (downloaded setup.exe from www.cygwin.com) from
scratch on another computer in my office. That computer also runs WindowsXP.
$HOME wasn't defined here, but it was on my primary computer. Don't know if
that mattered.
On that computer, mount shows all mountpoints as being of type binmode, and
cat file.bin | gzip -c out.bin works as it should.
I have no Idea why my primary computer insists on mounting everything in
textmode :-(.
I did try to remove my .bashrc-file on my primary computer. It didn't help -
and I couldn't find anything in there related to mounting.
I wonder where the mount table is stored. Maybe it for some reason survived
a reinstall of cygwin...
Please read on for some more discoveries.
Please try the following: sed '' binaryfile.bin acopy.bin and compare
the files. Also echo | sed '' test.out; od -c test.out and perl -e
'print q{ }x2560' | gzip -c test.gz; od -c test.gz.

Thank you so much. If I wanted to start fresh with a new perl installation -- replacing the executables and all the modules -- how do you recommend I do this under cygwin.

Acklam; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Perl CPAN module help Gary Nielson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for your help. I understand what you are saying here. I will try installing under /usr/local. I forgot to mention that Perl will not, by default, search for modules in /usr/local. This is a disadvantage, but it's worth it, in my opinion. The simplest way to make Perl look for modules there is to add PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl to your personal startup file (~/.bash_profile or whatever). My question, though, is what do I do about all the modules I've installed under /usr? How do I deal with them? Do I need to re-install them under /usr/local? Do I then need to somehow remove them from /usr? Or can I have modules under both directories, leaving the ones that work under /usr and place new ones under /usr/local? If they're working properly, you might as well leave them alone. If they're broken, re-install them with PREFIX=/usr/local. Note that perl will search the directories specified in PERL5LIB before the other directories, so if you have a working module under /usr/local and a broken one under /usr, then the working one under /usr/local will be used. The default search path: $ unset PERL5LIB $ perl -wle 'print for @INC' /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . Now, note how /usr/local/... comes first: $ export PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl $ perl -wle 'print for @INC' /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . You may try to remove modules under /usr, but be careful so you don't remove things you need. If you really want to remove them, I'd rather do that by uninstalling Perl, removing everything under /usr/lib/perl5 and start over with a clean Perl installation. Peter -- Peter J.

mounting
I am having problems mounting files. This is what I do. $mkdir C:\PalmDev $mount -tf C:\PalmDev /PalmDev $ln -s C:\Palm OS 5 SDK (68K) R3\Palm OS Support /PalmDev/sdk-5r3 when I run mount -tf C:\PalmDev /PalmDev it does not mount to '/' instead it is mounted on /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/erica. when I run ln -s I get the following error message: ln: creating symbolic link `/PalmDev/sdk-5r3' to `C:\\Palm OS 5 SDK (68K) R3\\Pa lm OS Support': No such file or directory what is going on here?
