[ITP] gnuplot: A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
Hi I would like to contribute and maintain the gnuplot package: * http://gnuplot.info/ (Homepage) * http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/ (Download location) Ciao Volker Here is the setup.hint file: sdesc: A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility. ldesc: Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility for UNIX, MSDOS, VMS, and many other platforms.

Gnuplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers (including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is easily extensible to include new devices.

What about also asking for a maintainer in the cygwin mailing-list ? If it's sad for you, what about volunteering? Not for me, as I'm more used to Lynx, but from my logs (and I don't have so many hits) I could notice some people using the 0.96 binary. I'd volunteer if I were a programmer, which is a prerequisite since maintainers are expected to fix any Cygwin problems. The Links authors don't seem to care - see UNSUPPORTED in http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/download/binaries/win32/ . The good thing is that recent Links and Links 2 build OOTB on Cygwin with 2 minimal changes, and don't appear to have any problems. Anyway, I'm still unsure what'd be better to replace it, if Links 2 2.1pre14 or ELinks 0.4.2. ELinks has many advantages (and many more in 0.5pre) but lacks the minimal JavaScript support and graphical frontend - see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-11/msg00035.html . The problem with Links 2 running with the graphical frontend is that accentuation doesn't work (at least for me), only on Linux with the frame buffer. So, while it's great to have images and such, something is wrong, and for now I'm going to investigate it. -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

I'll take maintainership of the links package. The 0.96 version that is currently released for Cygwin is from 2001/07/03. The stable version, 0.98, is from 2002/06/30.

It's completely broken unless you only run it under cmd.exe and don't need to input accented characters. You can see from http://www.pervalidus.net/tmp/links-accents.png what I mean. I wrote ação. Now test it under rxvt. The cursor stays at the top left and that's all. Anything you enter is displayed on the shell after you quit with ^C since it doesn't respond to any keys. The same with XTerm. But all these have fixes. See http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/links/ os_dep.h: -#elif defined(_WIN32) || defined (__CYGWIN__) +#elif defined(_WIN32) http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/links/download/links-0.96-0.97.diff.gz is a diff against 0.96, which works, and 0.97, which doesn't. You can see what changed in os_dep.h, od_dep.c, and win32.c. Looking at the patch you can notice reverting it can't be worse since it wasn't in 0.96. The other problem is that doing the above breaks at link time since terminate_osdep() is defined in both os_dep.c and win32.c. It always worked when I commented one of them. I also tested the 0.98 binary from http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/download/binaries/win32/ , and yes, it has the same problems, so it looks like nobody uses it with rxvt or XTerm, or don't need to input accented characters. But since you're the XFree86 maintainer, what about instead taking Links 2 ? I think Links is deprecated. It appears everything is in Links 2, but as Daniel suggested, having a binary without graphical support and another with would be the right choice. Anyway, Links 2 has the same problems. About the accentuation problem I have with -g, I was told if it works on the Linux frame buffer, it should on X11, and it could be a kbd configuration issue. I don't think it's, as all applications respond to them on Cygwin and Linux. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

Harold, the following is what I did to get new Links and Links 2 to compile and work properly on Cygwin. os_dep.h: -#elif defined(_WIN32) || defined (__CYGWIN__) +#elif defined(_WIN32) But then you get the following at link time: win32.o(.text+0x260): In function `terminate_osdep': /d/Linux/links-2.1pre14/win32.c:151: multiple definition of `_terminate_osdep' os_dep.o(.text+0x460):/d/Linux/links-2.1pre14/os_dep.c:759: first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status So, I commented the one from win32.c. With your binary, if you press Esc and go to File, select 'New window' or 'OS Shell', you also get sh: line 1: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe: command not found. With the above change everything works, including it. I get a sh-2.05b$ for 'OS Shell'. Maybe 'New window' is still somewhat broken since it now assumes a Unix environment, and only works if you run it from XTerm. From cmd.exe it does nothing (the menu is gone), and from rxvt it opens an XTerm if XFree86 is running, or displays an error (xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.) if not. Anyway, it's the same with the 0.96 binary included in Cygwin. But I propose Links 2 if you want graphics and minimal JavaScript support. Then make 2 binaries as Daniel suggested: 1- --enable-javascript --with-libfl --enable-graphics --with-ssl 2- --enable-javascript --with-libfl --with-ssl Or get ELinks 0.4.2 or 0.4.3pre2 if you don't. It has more features than Links 0.99. Use: 1- --enable-leds --enable-fastmem --enable-256-colors --without-x --without-x avoids linking with libX11. The option only adds a window title. Links 0.99 are maintenance release. You won't see many new features like in Links 2 and ELinks. That's all. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

Well, I made the fix as Frédéric suggested. Seems to work for me. I have therefore uploaded the new package and sent an announcement. We can work on fixing other bugs as they are identified. At this time I am not particularly interested in packaging the other flavors of links that are available. Links looked easy and it was an existing package that was going to be deleted. Links now has a new maintainer and won't be deleted. As for the other flavors, if they compile cleanly then one could use the package script, readme, and setup.hint from links to get started with packaging these other flavors. I could help if needed.

Re: Cygwin XFree86 startx Problem
Hi,
Don't know if I am answering to the right question/ problem, but I see
some referrals to passwd, username etc. To get to login to a Unix box
with X you can use the following script, after starting X and getting
into the xterm box of your local machine:
xhost +host /dev/null
export IPADDR=`ipconfig | grep Address | grep 10\. | cut -f 2 -d
: | cut -f 2 -d `
rsh host -l ${USERNAME} export DISPLAY=\${IPADDR}:0.0\;cd $HOME;
xterm
Use a modified startxwin.bat like:
start XWin -multiwindow
xterm -T your app initialisation screen -e startscript above
Note that the bash shell copies the MS-Windows environment to it as you
start it. That's the referral to ${USERNAME}. We have the same usernames
for the MS-Windows environment as well as the Unix box logging in to.
You can fill out your username on the remote Unix box as needed.
The string Address is what grep looks for in the output of ipconfig.
Maybe different in your locale. Check ipconfig output in your bash box.
10\. is part of our IP-address range in the Unix/ Windows network. It's
useful to scan your IP adresses when you have more than 1 NIC or more
than 1 IP-address.
In case you have a $HOME on the remote machine with spaces in it try cd
\${HOME}\ in the script.
Regards, Hans.

Robert,
Sorry, but no. Cygwin doesn't care about the Windows username, it looks
in /etc/passwd. If you change the name of the Windows account, you'd have
to regenerate the appropriate entry in /etc/passwd anyway, so why not just
eliminate the middle step and change /etc/passwd directly? Simply remove
the spaces from the username and the home directory in /etc/passwd (and
make sure you rename the directory itself), and it should be fine.

RE: DDD needs a porter [Was: DDD 3.3.8 segmentation error, relate d to Motif?]
Somebody needs to take it upon themself to port DDD and make appropriate fixes to make it work on Cygwin/X. This has not been done to date, as far as I can recall, and it is likely to need to be done before ddd will just work. I don't see a lot happening with DDD until someone steps forward to port it properly. In previous versions (cygwin, xfree, ddd), DDD did compile and run out of the box. I believe that is why no one took it upon themselves previously. see http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg00241.html -Richard Campbell.

The LessTif questions could be a red herring... the problem might be that there are some #ifdef __CYGWIN__'s in the code that cause problems with the new Cygwin 1.5.3-x + versions. However, it could be any number of issues. Harold

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: keychain-2.0.3-1
Hack Kampbjorn [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
alreay have ssh-agent + ssh-add, why people need keychain?
WARNING: ***
As of version 2.0 Keychain now stores keychain files in the ~/.keychain/
directory for tidiness. New filenames too: ~/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-sh
and ~/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-csh
The shell profile file (e.g. ~/.bash_profile for bash) has to be
updated to reflect this change:
keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa
. ~/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-sh
WARNING: ***
DESCRIPTION:
Keychain is an OpenSSH key manager, typically run from
~/.bash_profile. When run, it will make sure ssh-agent is running; if
not, it will start ssh-agent. It will redirect ssh-agent's output to
~/.ssh-agent, so that cron jobs that need to use ssh-agent keys can
simply source this file and make the necessary passwordless ssh
connections. In addition, when keychain runs, it will check with
ssh-agent and make sure that the ssh RSA/DSA keys that you specified on
the keychain command line have actually been added to ssh-agent. If not,
you are prompted for the appropriate passphrases so that they can be
added by keychain.
CYGWIN NEWS:
- Update to keychain 2.0.3
- keychain.cygwin is no more install normal keychain
KEYCHAIN NEWS:
Keychain 2.0.3 contains some fixes for color issues and a grep -i option for
cygwin.
Keychain 2.0.2 contains a fix for the handling of ssh-askpass; SSH_ASKPASS now
needs to be set to enable askpass functionality.
Keychain 2.0.1 contains Solaris, Tru64 and MacOS X fixes, --help fixes, and
compatibility with x11-ssh-askpass.
Keychain 2.0 contains HP-UX and Cygwin fixes (Cygwin support is now inside the
main keychain script), and now stores keychain files in the ~/.keychain/
directory for tidiness. New filenames too: ~/.keychain/sh-${HOSTNAME} and
~/.keychain/csh-${HOSTNAME}. Keychain 2.0 also contains a bunch of additional
fixes and performance improvements, and the --local option has been
depreciated. Added the --dir option so that you can specify an alternate
location for keychain to look for the .keychain directory: keychain --dir
/var/foo /path/to/my/key will cause keychain to look for /var/foo/.keychain.
INSTALLATION:

RE: Possible bug with __attribute__((alias)) in gcc-3.3
Nicholas wrote:
Hi All,
Gerrit and I were discussing this off-list, but I thought it appropriate
that I move it to the main list since he has confirmed the problem.
Here's the problem, programs are segfaulting when the are linked to a
symbol which was aliased using __attribute__((alias)) in a dll. Here is
a small testcase:
foo.c:
#include stdio.h
int __foo (void) {
printf(foo\r\n);
return 0;
}
int __attribute__ ((alias(__foo))) foo (void);
One problem is that you (or gcc) need to tell ld that 'foo' is function, not
data.
Adding this to file foo.c (after the alias declaration):
__asm__ (.def _foo; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef\n);
would do that.
That fixes the testcase on mingw anyway.
I'm testing a patch now that would make gcc do that too (for aliased
functions).
However, in general,when you do dllexport with code written in straight
assembler, you will need to add a function directive like the one above
so that the linker does the right thing.
(BTW, you've just reminded me of a similar problem in libffi assembly code
that needs to be fixed. Thanks )
Or...
The usual windows way would be to put your aliasing for dllexports in a def
file.

I'd recommend removing the real /cygdrive directory, and then repeating ls -l /cygdrive - you should see your windows C drive and it should have sensible ownership/protection - the same as you see with ls -ld C:/.

Actually it's even worse than that. I asked a question that could have been answered by careful review of the error messages I received and some more studying of the Cygwin documentation. Just in case anyone else is having this problem, the answer in a nutshell is that I installed Cygwin when not logged in to my NT domain. The remedy was to log in to the domain and relaunch Cygwin. Once I did that, Cygwin then created a home directory for me on my Z drive, which is actually a hard map to a network drive (have to do it this way for compatability with some old software). Since I want to be able to use Cygwin while disconnected, I manually edited /etc/passwd to change the home directory to a new directory under /home (which I also created). Then I copied all the individualized files (e.g., .bashrc) from the Z: drive directory to the new home directory.

Regtool Recursive Option?
Is it possible to use the Cygwin regtool recursively? I would like to search for a term (i.e. My Documents) throughout the registry or at least within a subkey. It looks like this can be done by doing a recursive grep on /proc/registry, but this generates a lot of errors such as No such file or directory and File or path name too long.

RE: Chronic Cron - cyg.txt (0/1)
I'd created /etc/cron.d at some stage manually as a FILE . Have now deleted it and created it as a DIRECTORY. BINGO everything works (I don't know where that is on a stupidity scale, but maybe Mark could add a test for this to his cron_diagnose.sh) Thank you for the feedback. The cron_diagnose.sh script does check for /etc/cron.d, and does check to see that it is a directory with the proper permissions (a minimum of 'rx' for the owner). You might have an earlier version of the script? It reports its version when it is run.

Fresh cygwin install shows escape sequences (pager problems with man less)
I just did a full (100%) cygwin install on a fresh Win2K system. (Well, this is actually the third time: I had two HDs crash Friday.) On the fresh cygwin install, even before installing ~/.bashrc, when I did man bash all the ANSI escape sequences were visible. If I specify MANPAGER=more, the sequences are interpreted as expected. The problem seems to be with 'less'. It appears less needs to be aliased to 'less -r' for this behavior to go away. Things are OK with man if I set MANPAGER='less -r'. Anyone got a spare clue? Any idea why the default installation of 'man' and 'less' are behaving this way after a Monday install, when all was fine last Friday? After crashing two hard disks in the same day, I could be cursed... -BobC -- 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/

cron_diagnose.sh will attempt to diagnose problems with cron. It will not modify any files on your computer. You might need to run the script several times. Each time that it finds a problem, it stops and displays a descriptive message. Please read the messages that the script generates, especially if it reports no errors, but you still cannot get cron to work for you. These messages should help you to report problems that occur in setting up cron, and possibly reduce the number of messages about cron that need to be sent to the mailing list.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: keychain-2.0.3-1
Steven Woody wrote: alreay have ssh-agent + ssh-add, why people need keychain? keychain is just a script around ssh-agent and ssh-add, you don't get any functionality you can achieve with some little scripting using ssh-agent and ssh-add directly. If all you ever do with ssh-agent is `eval $(ssh-agent)` and you don't get orphan agent in ps. Try `ps -e -u $(whoami) -f` do you have more than one ssh-agent? If so take a look at keychain it will help you to kill all orphan agent and only start one no matter how many times you log in. I'm continually opening rxvt windows and closing them, before I used keychain I easily ended up with 10 agents or more (even if I stopped the agent in the logout script). I was about to add some ssh-agent logic to my profile but it was easier (and faster) to make a cygwin package for keychain and change two lines in my .bash_profile (which I use on cygwin, linux, and *BSD, it should also work on AIX, SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX ...). http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain.xml -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Hack Kampbjørn -- 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: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: groff-1.18.1-1
Hi, The suggestion fixed this for me in my terminal emulation sessions after I had updated my Cygwin to include this version of groff. However, I have a preferences for viewing man pages in XEmacs for cygwin (21.4p13) and now the output is all garbled. Not understanding the problem well enough, it would be appreciated if, as well as a fix, someone could explain if this is an introduced bug, or a change in behavior, and if the latter, the rationale behind it.

Hi, Despite my best effort at sifting through the mailing list for the solution, the posting that solved my problem eluded me until I had already sent my original question.

New packages: gd, libgd-devel, libgd2
The package 'gd' with corresponding devel and runtime support is now available with the Cygwin distribution. gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG or JPEG file. This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where PNG and JPEG are two of the formats accepted for inline images by most browsers. gd is not a paint program. If you are looking for a paint program, you are looking in the wrong place. If you are not a programmer, you are looking in the wrong place, unless you are installing a required library in order to run an application. gd does not provide for every possible desirable graphics operation. It is not necessary or desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink graphics package, but version 2.0 does include most frequently requested features, including both truecolor and palette images, resampling (smooth resizing of truecolor images) and so forth. Questions on 'gd', as always, should be posted to the cygwin mailing list, preferably with some mention of 'gd' in the header. Enjoy! GENERIC INFORMATION: INSTALLATION: = 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 '%package%' from the 'XXX' category. This package includes the executable and all documentation. DOWNLOAD: = 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. These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have the latest version of this package fairly soon: In the US, ftp://planetmirror.com/pub/cygwin/ and ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ have reliable high bandwidth connections. QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.
