Re: XFree86 4.3.0 and AltGr

Great product.
I have just loaded a fresh copy of CygWin onto a new machine, and found the 'startxdmcp.bat' batch script. After five minutes fiddling with a local SuSE box, I got my KDE Window Manager to display absolutely bit-perfect on my Windows box. No fuss, no messing, it just works, perfectly. I would like to congratulate any persons involved. The only issue I have is that when I use the local CygWin, eg, displaying a local xterm, it messes the KDE Window Manager up. Calls after this will fail: Connection to host:0 rejected. Or something like this. If I enter 'xterm +' into the local CygWin it fixs the problem, accept that KDE now opens windows on my Windows desktop, and not within it's own Windows Manager. This is not a problem, as the windows still show bit-perfect, and having them in the Windows task-bar rather than the KDE task-bar is in some ways better. (Although only in the first of my twin-head graphics card. :) But I would like to control whether CygWin opens windows within the X-Windows Manager or within MS-Windows? Can any person suggest a mechanism to complete this? Thanks again for a great product.

Re: Windows find.exe crashes during Cygwin setup
Regarding my previous post (failure to install Cygwin), I discovered the problem. Maybe it's obvious to others, but I thought that I'd share it here in case it could help anyone. It turns out that the system I used to download the packages already had a version of Cygwin installed on it. So when I downloaded the packages, any packages that were still current on that system were not downloaded by setup, and then when I copied the files to the system I was actually installing on, there were of course missing packages (like grep, cat, and others...). BTW, Under the Question How do I just get everything?, the FAQ states that At the Select Packages screen, in Categories view, at the line marked All, click on the word default so that it changes to install. (Be patient, there is some computing to do at this step. It may take a second or two to register the change.) This tells Setup to install everything, not just what it thinks you should have by default. As it turns out this doesn't exactly tell setup to install _everything_(from what I can see), but rather tells setup to install everything _that you don't have already_. In order to get around this, I simply renamed my c:\cygwin directory to something else temporarily in order to trick setup into thinking that I really did need everything. Well I wonder if there is already a really obvious way to do this with setup that I was just missing. Regards, Yonatan Hello, I'm encountering a problem while trying to install Cygwin on a Window XP box from a local directory of packages. Several times during the setup procedure, Windows pops up an error message informing me that the Windows find.exe utility has encountered a problem and needs to be closed. Needless to say, I'm left with a broken installation afterwards, with missing files and libraries, no user profile, broken links, etc. I downloaded the package from a few different mirrors, but can't seem to get through the setup procedure without receiving these errors. Any ideas? I've searched the archives, faq, net, etc, and didn't find any reference to such a problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Yonatan _ Worried about inbox overload?

Re: New snapshot 12/23 and xemacs-success
Yadin Y Goldschmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The most recent snapshot from 12/23 solved all these problems. I disagree. For the first time in about three months, XEmacs (along with Gnus using a whole bunch of child processes) works almost fine. That is, the network connections opened by Gnus, openssl, and starttls stay open longer than ten seconds and don't block XEmacs when it tries to read from or close these connections. Thank you for that. But XEmacs (21.4.13) still crashes the moment one exits Gnus. This is probably related to XEmacs shutting down the child processes mentioned above. Also, keychain or ssh-agent don't work properly with this snapshot. Keychain starts up ssh-agent, but no subsequent ssh (or ssh-add) operations can communicate with the started agent.

For the first time in about three months, XEmacs (along with Gnus using a whole bunch of child processes) works almost fine. That is, the network connections opened by Gnus, openssl, and starttls stay open longer than ten seconds and don't block XEmacs when it tries to read from or close these connections. Thank you for that. But XEmacs (21.4.13) still crashes the moment one exits Gnus. This is probably related to XEmacs shutting down the child processes mentioned above. So, if I am understanding you correctly then this is not a regression. Since I don't use XEmacs, this is likely to stay broken. Also, keychain or ssh-agent don't work properly with this snapshot. Keychain starts up ssh-agent, but no subsequent ssh (or ssh-add) operations can communicate with the started agent. ssh-agent and ssh-add are working fine for me. I don't use keychain, however. I don't know what no subsequent ssh operations can communicate with the started agent means. What, specifically, are you seeing?

RE: Two mutt issues
Hello, The current version of Outlook finally made me move to mutt :-) Why, does Outlook 2003 block *all* attachments now? ;-) I have two problems using mutt on cygwin: 1. I've used this mailcap file: application/*; cygstart %s image/*; cygstart %s text/*; cygstart %s video/*; cygstart %s But it doesn't seem to work, when I try to open a Word attachment it says it's corrupted. When I save it and open it from the explorer it looks OK. I'd bet this one is a text/binary issue, but I've not looked into it. My guess would be that the text/binary logic that I added for saving is being bypassed somehow during save-to-temp-then-viewing. 2. I'm working with Maildir folder (the default for 'getmail'), when I try to sync after deleting a message I get the following error: rename: No such file or directory (errno = 2) And the file is not deleted. Any suggestions? Maildir isn't directly supported on Cygwin unfortunately, and likely never will be due to its violation of POSIX filename rules. The error you're seeing is a direct result of this. That said, people have reported some success with Maildirs by using Cygwin's new Managed mounts feature, q.v., and putting their mailboxes on one. -- Gary R.

RE: Unable to compile cygwin
I am still not able to build Cygwin from the latest CVS sources... But anyway, that's only a part of the problem. My boss wants to be sure there is no malicious code in the Cygwin distribution I use. So he's telling me to rebuild it from scratch from the CVS sources. His logic is that since we can look into the sources and check that there is no malicious code in it, if we build a version from these sources, we can assume they contain no trojan or whatever. Well, unless your boss reads and understands every line of code, he's assuming the exact same thing as if you were just using the precompiled stuff. And not just Cygwin proper either: every line in *every app* that you run on Cygwin. Your boss's logic is not exactly up to Mr. Spock's standards. But if I understood correctly, I must use Cygwin to rebuild the sources. When I told him that, he went all mad and told me that he could not trust my version of Cygwin to rebuild these sources, since it could 'insert' malicious code without us knowing it even though the sources are perfectly clean. Jeez, yeah dude, I'd say building Cygwin hardly registers as part of your problem! ;-) Unless perhaps your boss and you work at the NSA or the FBI or something. Tell him that you also can't rebuild Windows *at all* and see what he says, if he says anything at all instead of giving you the dead-fish look. I bet you get the latter. -- Gary R.

RE: Please try the latest snapshot -- it is close to cygwin 1.5.6
I was running the open_posix_testsuite against the current homebuilt cygwin1.dll but I get the same error if I use the new dll to build itself. It only happens randomly to gcc.exe but it always errors at the same location 0x61085fba. I run the testsuite when I built the dll which gives: FAIL: msgtest.c (execute) FAIL: semtest.c (execute) FAIL: shmtest.c (execute) FAIL: pthread/mainthreadexits.c (execute) === winsup Summary === # of expected passes259 # of unexpected failures4 # of expected failures 14 The pthread test is the only abnormal failure as I am not using the cygserver. I looked at the mainthreadexits.c test and I was not sure if the test was correct. So that's what lead me to try out the open_posix_testsuite. I am currently Googling for different debugging methods and contemplating having a Xmas drink or two. I tried the how-to-debug-cygwin.txt but GDB did not provide any useful information. Sorry I am not more helpful. Merry Xmas to all.
