cygiconv-2.dll could not be found...
I have built a custom mirror site of cygwin - based upon the well-known mirrors, and updated today - Dec. 15, 2003. It is a subset of the full mirror and I am experiencing severe problems getting setup.exe to finish successfully. I can get the packages all downloaded by simply telling it to install 'All' packages. When it comes to installing cygwin, it always fails around 98% finished. The error popup displays: 'The dynamic link library cygiconv-2.dll could not be found in the specified path ...' The path is extensive, and looks to be OK compared to successfull cygwin installations. Everything I have read in the mailing lists points to some dependency that I did not include in my mirror. However, I did not get any installation complaints during the setup process. My questions are: 1. What package contains cygiconv-2.dll? How do I determine that? 2. Is there some checking that can be done on the server side to trace dependencies? Thanks -- Bill Geddes wgeddes at wgeddes dot com

keyboard not working
Hi, I just installed the most recent Xfree version but cannot input anything. I saw others reporting the same problem but nobody confirmed the problem officially.

Any hints ? Stephan

OpenGL hardware Acceleration
I have looked through the documentation and mailing list archives but I am still a little confused about opengl hardware acceleration using cygwin/X. I recently compiled the application that I am working on (Omni3d), and it works but is slow (compared to the Linux version on the same hardware). The code uses X windows. I am assuming that it is slow because the opengl rendering is not using hardware acceleration, but I am not sure that that is the case. Am I correct in assuming that I cannot get hardware acceleration without a substantial rewrite of the code? Thanks in advance. Burke Murray

enable argument permutation by default for getopt_long() and not getopt() [PATCH] (was Re: getopt() musings)
I have moved this discussion to cygwin-patches as it seemed appropriate. For reference, the original thread is here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00865.html Max Bowsher wrote: snip It does require someone to put in a fair amount of time: 1) Resolving the uncertainties you mention. I was hoping someone that has been on the GNU scene longer than I would chime in on my assumptions. But open source has its benefits: I checked the glibc CVS repository. The initial revision of /libc/posix/getopt.c (http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/libc/posix/getopt.c?rev=1.1content-type=text/plaincvsroot=glibc) was checked in on 1992-05-12 (11+ years ago). Argument permutation was enabled by default. The first copyright date in the file is 1987. I do not know where to get the older versions. Regardless, it would appear that argument permutation has been the default for a very long time, if not always. It would not seem unreasonable to me to conclude that Cygwin's getopt_long() is non-standard, if one considers GNU precedent 'standard'. And since, AFAIK, they invented it, I don't know of any other metric by which to judge compliance. I also checked the NetBSD CVS repository. The initial revision of /src/lib/libc/stdlib/getopt_long.c (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/lib/libc/stdlib/getopt_long.c?rev=1.1content-type=text/plain) was checked in on 1999-07-23. It appears that argument permutation was not supported in the initial revision. However, with revision 1.4 (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/lib/libc/stdlib/getopt_long.c?rev=1.4content-type=text/plain) on 2000-04-02 the implementation was replaced with the initial version of what is now the current implementation. (Also the implementation from which Cygwin's is derived.) In this version argument permutation is implemented and enabled by default. This leaves an ~8 month time span where NetBSD's CVS repository included a version of getopt_long() that did not support argument permutation (and was incompatible with it's GNU template). According to the page entitled The History of the NetBSD Project (http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/history.html), NetBSD 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 were released during this time period. I could not find any mention of getopt_long() in the change logs for those releases (nor in the logs for 1.4 and 1.4.3). The change log for NetBSD 1.5 mentions the inclusion of the latter version of getopt_long(). libc: add getopt_long(3) from Dieter Baron and Thomas Klausner. [christos 2402] Just to be sure, I checked the source archives for 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3; they did not include an implementation of getopt_long(). So I don't think the incompatible version of getopt_long() was ever released as part of NetBSD. 2) Finding out what permutation broke in the first place. After a review of the mailing list archives, it seems that of primary concern were programs that took a shell command as an argument. For example, $ foo x bar -y Where it is intended to pass the option 'x' to foo and the option 'y' to bar (which is invoked by foo). With argument permutation, both 'x' and 'y' would be passed to foo. As if it had been $ foo x y bar One program specifically mentioned as being broken by argument permutation was strace. (I'd link to the messages but many of the discussions took place on cygwin-developers and the web-based archives for that list are no longer publicly accessible.) It seems strace was the impetus for this change, but it was said that the worry was not specifically with strace but rather any program that might break because of the non-standard behavior. An expressed desire was not to cause people problems or generate unnecessary cygwin email traffic. I do understand the desire to conform to the relevant standards, even without forcing users to define POSIXLY_CORRECT. However, I would note that the change itself has caused problems (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg01253.html) and generated traffic (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg00165.html, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg01742.html). strace is a program that comes with Cygwin. The current version of strace uses getopt_long() and does not explicitly disable argument permutation. I attribute this to the fact that strace was changed to use getopt_long() instead of getopt() after Cygwin's getopt_long() had been neutered. Otherwise this would invalidate my pervious assumption, but I do believe that this is an oversight in strace. This would seem to introduce a new twist: programs that were developed with Cygwin's weird version of getopt_long() might break. I have looked through the programs in Cygwin's utils subdirectory and it seems that ssp is also affected. I have attached a patch for ssp and strace that disables argument permutation by specifying a '+' as the first character of the short option string.

[Patch]: Improving tty_list security (part 1).
Now that the PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE security hole (part 1) is plugged,
the next easily exploitable security breach in the core of Cygwin lies
in the PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE privilege between parent and seteuid children.
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2003-09/msg00078.html
That's close to the sig area currently being worked on by Chris,
so I won't touch it.
Next is the tty_list. It is currently implemented as an array in
the cygwin_shared file mapping, which is writable by Everybody.
As requested, changes toward a secure implementation involve a series
of incremental patches. In fact this first one introduces
NO CHANGE in functionality nor in basic logic, only the level of
abstraction is increased.
In particular all references to cygwin_shared-ttys have been
removed, except from two functions in tty.cc.
In addition a new class, tinfo has been defined. For the
moment it only includes a single member, which points to an
element of cygwin_shared-tty.ttys, but it will eventually become
richer. It is shamelessly inspired by pinfo.
To facilitate the review I would suggest starting with the change
in dcrto.cc to understand the logic. Significant edits are in tty.h,
tty.cc and fhandler_tty.cc. The rest is minor. I have run with
those changes for 6 weeks, both on NT4 and WinME.
The subsequent patches on this topic will be a lot smaller although
they will contain real improvements.

enable argument permutation by default for getopt_long() and not getopt() [PATCH] (was Re: getopt() musings)
I have moved this discussion to cygwin-patches as it seemed appropriate. For reference, the original thread is here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00865.html Max Bowsher wrote: snip It does require someone to put in a fair amount of time: 1) Resolving the uncertainties you mention. I was hoping someone that has been on the GNU scene longer than I would chime in on my assumptions. But open source has its benefits: I checked the glibc CVS repository. The initial revision of /libc/posix/getopt.c (http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/libc/posix/getopt.c?rev=1.1content-type=text/plaincvsroot=glibc) was checked in on 1992-05-12 (11+ years ago). Argument permutation was enabled by default. The first copyright date in the file is 1987. I do not know where to get the older versions. Regardless, it would appear that argument permutation has been the default for a very long time, if not always. It would not seem unreasonable to me to conclude that Cygwin's getopt_long() is non-standard, if one considers GNU precedent 'standard'. And since, AFAIK, they invented it, I don't know of any other metric by which to judge compliance. I also checked the NetBSD CVS repository. The initial revision of /src/lib/libc/stdlib/getopt_long.c (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/lib/libc/stdlib/getopt_long.c?rev=1.1content-type=text/plain) was checked in on 1999-07-23. It appears that argument permutation was not supported in the initial revision. However, with revision 1.4 (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/lib/libc/stdlib/getopt_long.c?rev=1.4content-type=text/plain) on 2000-04-02 the implementation was replaced with the initial version of what is now the current implementation. (Also the implementation from which Cygwin's is derived.) In this version argument permutation is implemented and enabled by default. This leaves an ~8 month time span where NetBSD's CVS repository included a version of getopt_long() that did not support argument permutation (and was incompatible with it's GNU template). According to the page entitled The History of the NetBSD Project (http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/history.html), NetBSD 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 were released during this time period. I could not find any mention of getopt_long() in the change logs for those releases (nor in the logs for 1.4 and 1.4.3). The change log for NetBSD 1.5 mentions the inclusion of the latter version of getopt_long(). libc: add getopt_long(3) from Dieter Baron and Thomas Klausner. [christos 2402] Just to be sure, I checked the source archives for 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3; they did not include an implementation of getopt_long(). So I don't think the incompatible version of getopt_long() was ever released as part of NetBSD. 2) Finding out what permutation broke in the first place. After a review of the mailing list archives, it seems that of primary concern were programs that took a shell command as an argument. For example, $ foo x bar -y Where it is intended to pass the option 'x' to foo and the option 'y' to bar (which is invoked by foo). With argument permutation, both 'x' and 'y' would be passed to foo. As if it had been $ foo x y bar One program specifically mentioned as being broken by argument permutation was strace. (I'd link to the messages but many of the discussions took place on cygwin-developers and the web-based archives for that list are no longer publicly accessible.) It seems strace was the impetus for this change, but it was said that the worry was not specifically with strace but rather any program that might break because of the non-standard behavior. An expressed desire was not to cause people problems or generate unnecessary cygwin email traffic. I do understand the desire to conform to the relevant standards, even without forcing users to define POSIXLY_CORRECT. However, I would note that the change itself has caused problems (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg01253.html) and generated traffic (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg00165.html, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg01742.html). strace is a program that comes with Cygwin. The current version of strace uses getopt_long() and does not explicitly disable argument permutation. I attribute this to the fact that strace was changed to use getopt_long() instead of getopt() after Cygwin's getopt_long() had been neutered. Otherwise this would invalidate my pervious assumption, but I do believe that this is an oversight in strace. This would seem to introduce a new twist: programs that were developed with Cygwin's weird version of getopt_long() might break. I have looked through the programs in Cygwin's utils subdirectory and it seems that ssp is also affected. I have attached a patch for ssp and strace that disables argument permutation by specifying a '+' as the first character of the short option string.
RE: Third-party products that include Cygwin
Hi. In Outlook XP at least, I just select Reply To All and it gets the cygwin list, and I also use the Reply to direct correspondence. Seems to work ok. As for the business requires Outlook. Yeah I know. I did consulting for one shop, and I was terrified, especially with all the viruses at the time. The director there had so many spams. I tried to get them to use Mozilla, and they employees there loved it. But the main IT HQ made a big fuss about using non-approved software, which includes alternatives to M$ software. Sometimes I think that certification also means mindlessness... I guess I could also suffer from this as I currently work at a client that seems pretty intent on enforcing the use of Outlook (not sure why but whatever). Since clients come and go, I wouldn't want to use'em for my access to this list anyway so I simply keep my home machine up all the time and ssh/VNC to it. From this, I can use my work and/or personal email accounts and the tools that work for me best. Perhaps that's another option for you. Otherwise, you're stuck at the mercy of Outlook and the charity of those on this list that might remember what your preferences are. I've done so this time. Can't say that I'll remember to do so next time. :-( -- 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/
[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: pcre-4.5-1
New News: = Version 4.5-1 of the PCRE packages is now available for download. This corresponds to the latest official PCRE release. The only changes applied to this version wrt the canonical version involve the build process. To update your installation: === Run the Setup utility from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and pick up the proper packages. Problem reports: === Please send reports of any problems related to these packages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and *do not* mail me personally. I moniter the list on a regular basis. Old News: The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. PCRE has its own native API, as well as a set of wrapper functions that correspond to the POSIX regular expression API. The PCRE library is free, even for building commercial software. have a look at http://www.pcre.org for details Port Notes: - version 4.5-1 - Update to canonical 4.5 - version 4.4-2 - Move the Cygwin-special README to the proper location - version 4.4-1 - Patches applied to 4.3-x were largely integrated into the canonical package. The rest of the patches (of course) still apply - version 4.3-4 - Make doc package FHS compliant - version 4.3-3 - Recompile against Cygwin-1.5.0 - version 4.3-2 - Added pcre-config script to pcre-devel package - version 4.3-1 - The same patches as applied to version 4.2-2 were applied to this version. - version 4.2-2 - A slight modification was made to the packaging script to kill a bug that had snuck into the tarballs - version 4.2-1 - The patch I made earlier, which got into the canonical PCRE, worked around using Libtool on Cygwin without there being any need to do so, as Gerrit P. Haase kindly pointed out. With his patch and one by Charles Wilson, the Cygwin build procedure is just like any *NIX - due thanks go to the both of them. - versions prior to 4.2-1 - Anything prior to 4.2-1 was maintained by Corinna Vinschen - any notes on those versions are available in the mail archives. -- Forgetfulness, n.: A gift of God bestowed upon debtors in compensation for their destitution of conscience. -- 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/

Yep; even hopeless-little-amateurish 'Outlook Express' allows you to set your 'reply to' addressing as you wish, while those of us tied-in to using the 'professional' Outlook are stuck with no choice. Even more tiresome is the way it insists on quoting the previous sender's e-mail address in the message text - to the delight of spam harvesters everywhere. Simply delightful - isn't it ?

Symbolic Links
Hi, I have been using the symbolic links feature of cygwin to link from one folder to another in my system. I know that is not a big beneficial use of cygwin, but it is one that adds to the benefit of cygwin. I also use cygwin for other stuff. I was wondering, does anyone know is something specific is needed to be able to link from one folder to another, for example I am linking from C:\My Documents to D:\Finance in a link file called other. Honestly this works in the file manager part of windows explorer, one desire I have ot this would be to be able to use this in Microsoft Excel by clicking on the My Documents link on the left side and then by opening the folder called other in the file list. The only problem with this is that by using the command ln -s D:\Finance other does not actually let the folder show up in excel. Is this possible, or is this maybe a future feature that will be implemented? If it is in the feature, I know I would appreciate the ability.

CreateFileMapping, create global objects, and multiple users

When I am logged into both admin and my account, and both create rxvt windows, the first one created gets hung, and doing anything to it results in the window disappearing.

Steven J. Zeil wrote: I've tried to modify the function in files.el to expand the list of illegal characters. Unfortunately, files.el is one of the pre-compiled Lisp files - the only way to change it is, AFAIK, to recompile emacs. Not true. There are several ways you can deal with this: * Load your modified file explicitly in your .emacs. This will override the built-in copy. You can even byte-compile the modified copy and load *that* instead. * You can even just redefine file-truecopy() in your .emacs to override the built-in definition of that one function (this is a giant hairball of a function, though, so this may not be good in the long run). If you're doing the fix, instead of just hacking the list of illegal characters embedded in the body of the function, it would be nice to break out the list regular expression into a defvar outside the body, so that it can be setq'ed by anyone wanting to twiddle the chars.

RE: CreateFileMapping, create global objects, and multiple users
Pierre, Thanks for the feedback. One of the users is the administrator. The other is not in the admin group, but has the 'create global object' right per a note I saw from Corinna. The snapshot I installed is from 12/1, should this be recent enough? It does not appear to depend on the order. Both the root (administrator) and user login are via terminal services. I just tried it with administrator logged in locally, as well as through TS, and it still occurs. I also noticed (one time only) that tcsh (my default shell) goes compute bound. I tried it with bash, and the rxvt window seems to more-or-less self-destruct on its own (ie I don't even get the opportunity to close it...it just goes away as soon as I touch it). The times when the window is hung, I cannot type anything into the window. The only thing I can do is close it. Thanks for your thoughts...any additional ideas would be appreciated.

If your filesystem is NTFS (and $deity hope it is, as FAT32 hurts like something awful) then you can try fooling around with its built in symbolic links, which are called junctions in the parlance.

For example, if the directory D:\SYMLINK specified C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 as its target, then an application accessing D:\SYMLINK\DRIVERS would in reality be accessing C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Directory symbolic links are known as NTFS junctions in Win2K. Unfortunately, Win2K comes with no tools for creating junctions - you have to purchase the Win2K Resource Kit, which comes the linkd program for creating junctions. I therefore decided to write my own junction-creating tool: Junction. Junction not only allows you to create NTFS junctions, it allows you to see if files or directories are actually reparse points. Reparse points are the mechanism on which NTFS junctions are based, and they are used by Win2K's Remote Storage Service (RSS), as well as volume mount points. If you want to view reparse information, the usage for Junction is the following: Usage: junction [-s] directory or file name -s Recurse subdirectories. If you want to create or delete a junction, use Junction like this: Usage: junction [-d] junction directory [junction target] To delete a junction specify the -d switch and the junction name. Download Junction (16KB) Download Junction Source (22 KB) I have not tried this but it sounds like it might be helpful for you. I have no idea how Cygwin would interact with one of these, but since it's layered on top of Windows' kernel NTFS driver I would expect that it would treat them just as any other app would, i.e. do the right thing.

The mailing list manager will ask you for confirmation, you will send email back and then you will be subscribed to the cygwin-replyto list. Some of the responses you get may be a little confusing since this is not really a real mailing list and you can't send email to it (although, hmm, a mailing list named cygwin-replyto which always added the reply-to is an interesting idea). You can also, as always send email to cygwin-replyto-subscribe-you=yourdomain.com*ATSIGN*-cygwin-PERIOD-com to subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Once you're subscribed the mailing list manager (actually my mailing list manager, all singing, all dancing, spam blocker, etc.) will add a Reply-To to any message that [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends to the list.

I made the mistake of checking to see if my new method worked without verifying that the spam blocking also still worked.

Re: Symbolic Links
NTFS also supports hard links, and there's a program that comes with Windows that lets you make them (searching WinXP Pro's Help and Support Center for 'hardlink' gives the relevant entries). The result would then be that it would work in both Cygwin and Windows (all programs), although it can be confusing if you're not used to thinking of file system-y stuff.

RE: [META] Other mailing list ideas
This is a great idea! Although I am only a simple subscriber to this mailing list, I would gladly celebrate with the proposition. The EOF stuff would save a considerable amount of space in the archives. Thanks!

HO HO HO, MERRY XMAS, I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FOR XMAS :) fitch
Updated: pcre-4.5-1
New News: = Version 4.5-1 of the PCRE packages is now available for download. This corresponds to the latest official PCRE release. The only changes applied to this version wrt the canonical version involve the build process. To update your installation: === Run the Setup utility from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and pick up the proper packages. Problem reports: === Please send reports of any problems related to these packages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and *do not* mail me personally. I moniter the list on a regular basis. Old News: The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. PCRE has its own native API, as well as a set of wrapper functions that correspond to the POSIX regular expression API. The PCRE library is free, even for building commercial software. have a look at http://www.pcre.org for details Port Notes: - version 4.5-1 - Update to canonical 4.5 - version 4.4-2 - Move the Cygwin-special README to the proper location - version 4.4-1 - Patches applied to 4.3-x were largely integrated into the canonical package. The rest of the patches (of course) still apply - version 4.3-4 - Make doc package FHS compliant - version 4.3-3 - Recompile against Cygwin-1.5.0 - version 4.3-2 - Added pcre-config script to pcre-devel package - version 4.3-1 - The same patches as applied to version 4.2-2 were applied to this version. - version 4.2-2 - A slight modification was made to the packaging script to kill a bug that had snuck into the tarballs - version 4.2-1 - The patch I made earlier, which got into the canonical PCRE, worked around using Libtool on Cygwin without there being any need to do so, as Gerrit P. Haase kindly pointed out. With his patch and one by Charles Wilson, the Cygwin build procedure is just like any *NIX - due thanks go to the both of them. - versions prior to 4.2-1 - Anything prior to 4.2-1 was maintained by Corinna Vinschen - any notes on those versions are available in the mail archives. -- Forgetfulness, n.: A gift of God bestowed upon debtors in compensation for their destitution of conscience.
