[ITP] libwin32-perl-0.191 (ready for upload and testing)
Happy New Year everyone! The files: http://www.io.com/~rkitover/libwin32-perl-0.191/ The package is installable by pointing setup.exe to above URL, selecting the exp checkbox and looking under Libs. Or download directly from: http://www.io.com/~rkitover/libwin32-perl-0.191/release/libwin32-perl The setup.hint: @ libwin32-perl test: 0.191-1 sdesc: Perl extensions for using the Win32 API category: System Libs Interpreters requires: perl cygwin ldesc: Perl extensions for using the Win32 API. Included modules: Win32CORE, Win32API::File, Win32API::Net, Win32API::Registry, ChangeNotify, Clipboard, Console, Event, EventLog, File, FileSecurity, Gui, IPC, Internet, Job, Mutex, NetAdmin, NetResource, ODBC, OLE, PerfLib, Pipe, Process, Registry, Semaphore, Service, Shortcut, Sound, TieRegistry and WinError. This is my thoroughly modified version of libwin32-0.191 from CPAN, along with the latest release of Win32::GUI and my port of Win32 CORE methods for Cygwin Perl. More on my project here: http://libwin32-exp.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwin32-exp/ The original libwin32-0.191 lives here: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=libwin32mode=Distributions And Win32::GUI is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-win32-gui/ I included it in my distribution to simplify maintenance and because it's probably the most exciting Win32:: module that is also in very active development. These modules are built against Perl 5.8.2, which is in testing for some reason right now, so I marked this package as testing as well. This package _must_ be built against the same minor version of Perl, so the package will not work with Perl 5.8.0 (it won't even build with that version, but that's another issue.) I didn't see in the documentation a way to require a specific version of a package like in debian/control, so it just requires perl. The reason I want to maintain a package is to simplify access to the Win32:: modules for Cygwin Perl users, who would otherwise not be aware of my project or their availability, and to have the compiled extensions be managed by the rebaseall utility, which is cumbersome in a non-package distribution. Some package notes: Docs and samples follow the same file hierarchy as in the original distribution under /usr/share/doc/libwin32-perl-0.191/... eg., /usr/share/doc/libwin32-perl-0.191/GUI/samples/mousemove.pl /usr/share/doc/libwin32-perl-0.191/Shortcut/docs/index.html /usr/share/doc/libwin32-perl-0.191/Sound/README Etc. They are harvested using a long find command on install. I've thought about making separate samples and docs directories in the /usr/share/doc/libwin32-perl-0.191/ directory, or perhaps just moving the samples into a samples directory with the same module tree, any suggestions? Also a couple .pl files get erroneously installed into the module tree, this is harmless and I'll remove them in the next version... Cheers, -- Rafael
Windres Problem with ComboBox/tabbing?
Hi Folks, This is my first question to the group, so hopefully I will provide all the required information. I'm attempting to build a small programmer interface for Win32 using gcc under cygwin. Along with gcc, I have been using gdb running under ddd for symbolic debugging. The application is to be based on a dialog box (form) type and so far, I have put in some pushbuttons and a couple of combobox dropdown lists using the resource file: #include windows.h #include resource.h IDD_MYDIALOG DIALOG 6, 21, 153, 88 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION Programmer FONT 8, Arial BEGIN DEFPUSHBUTTON FILE LOAD, ID_FILE_OPEN, 3, 2, 70, 14, WS_TABSTOP DEFPUSHBUTTON PROGRAM, ID_PROGRAM, 3, 19, 70, 14, WS_TABSTOP DEFPUSHBUTTON VERIFY, ID_VERIFY, 3, 36, 70, 14, WS_TABSTOP DEFPUSHBUTTON BLANK CHECK, ID_BLANK, 3, 53, 70, 14, WS_TABSTOP DEFPUSHBUTTON QUIT, ID_QUIT, 3, 70, 70, 14, WS_TABSTOP COMBOBOX ID_PORT, 78, 2, 70, 14, CBS_DROPDOWN | WS_TABSTOP COMBOBOX ID_DEVICE, 78, 15, 70, 14, CBS_DROPDOWN | WS_TABSTOP LTEXT Select File to Download into MCU, ID_STATUS, 78, 28, 70, 56, WS_BORDER END To Update the ID_PORT comboboxes, I use the following WM_INITDIALOG code: SendMessage(hdlgPortListCtrl, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR) TEXT(COM1:)); SendMessage(hdlgPortListCtrl, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR) TEXT(COM2:)); SendMessage(hdlgPortListCtrl, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR) TEXT(COM3:)); SendMessage(hdlgPortListCtrl, CB_SETCURSEL, 0, 0); The resource file and program file compile without any problems using the following two statements: windres Programmer.rc -O coff -o Programmer.res gcc -mwindows -mno-cygwin -g -o Programmer.exe Programmer.c Programmer.res -lgdi32 -luser32 When I click on the dropdown button on either one of the comboboxes, nothing happens unless I double click in which case the initial text is highlighted with a blinking cursor at the end. Along with this, when I press the Tab key, the focus does not change from button, or control to the next one. As I mention below, I have seen one instance of a problem with the combobox on the list but none on the list indicate the issues with the problem with tabbing. To try and find the problem, I ran the resource file through Microsoft's rc.exe and attempted to bind it to a compiled version of Programmer.c (using the same gcc statement above with Programmer.res removed) using rsrc but I end up with a Checksum Field != 0 error (which I can't find any explanation of). I did a bit level compare on the windres produced .res file and the rc produced .res file and found that in one of the combobox controls (ID_DEVICE), the bit pattern was different: rc: da 07 ff ff 85 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 82 50 00 00 00 00 4e 00 1c 00 46 00 38 00 windres: da 07 ff ff 85 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 50 00 00 00 00 4e 00 1c 00 46 00 38 00 The ID_PORT combobox control's bit pattern was identical between the two versions. I changed the corresponding windres .res file to the Microsoft rc .res file and re-ran the gcc statement above with no difference. I've just updated my tools to the latest levels from cygwin.com and when I check the versions of windres and gcc, I get: $ windres --version GNU windres 2.14.90 20030901 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Looking through the archives, I've noticed that Danny Smith, earlier this year, has encountered a problem and a potential patch for the windres processing the combobox under the thread: Fix a windres (rcparse.y) parsing bug for controls without text fields Hopefully somebody can either: 1. Tell me this is a problem with windres 2. Point out what I am doing wrong 3. Explain what I'm doing wrong with rc.exe so I can dispense with windres altogether so I can stop tearing my hair out.

It also should have the added benefit of doing the right thing wrt deallocating the console appropriately since open_fhs should now track the ctty usecount. This was screwed up before, apparently even before I started mucking with the tty stuff. I sure do hate usage counting. cgf Yes, that works fine now, as does bash -c inetd. Sorry to jump in on this, but I run into a few problems with the changes you made last night and one issue which has been a problem for some time now. This is on my Win2k box and all problems were noticed when I logged in remotely via ssh (I have not tried locally). If it makes any difference, the /usr/src dir, where all my project and cygwin source is contained, is a managed mount. Issues from yesterday's checkin: 1)When run by itself from the command line, `make` is not forking properly for recursive makes, instead it aborts and returns a bogus HANGUP signal to the console. This is easily seen when attempting to build the Cygwin tree. I cannot provide any useful output since it appears that calling the process from within gdb or through strace actually keeps make from failing to fork, but make still screws up the order of entry into subdirs. 2)`procps auxf` incorrectly identifies top-parent processes as defunct, even though ps and the nt process monitor shows them to be valid. However, for postgres's postmaster, the parent and *all* children are labeled as defunct even though I can confirm that the server is up and running. 3)Running configure scripts using sh.exe (which is default when you ./configure) always hangs, whereas running them through bash.exe works fine (although it does hang from time to time). In either case, when it hangs, doing ctrl-c will drop you to the command line. However, the process isn't terminated, like one would expect. Also, it refuses to obey any signal except SIGKILL. Existing issues since 1.5.5: 3)I find myself involuntarily logged-out of my sessions at random intervals. This is especially prevalent when doing massive recursive `rm -rf`'s or `grep -rn`'s or any other form of intensive disk i/o. However, whatever is causing it seems to be getting fixed, since this happens less frequently then it used to. A small kludge I use to get around this is by running links.exe then using ctrl-Z to send it to a stopped state. Then if it tries to log me out, it will fail because I have a stopped process. 4)lynx crashes on startup, dropping me back to the command line. Running it through gdb, the segfault happens at line 81 of cygtls.cc, _last_thread-next = this which is inside the function _threadinfo::init_thread(void*). Unfortunately, my system is in a state where I cannot get make to run correctly, so trying to build a debug version of lynx at this point is not feasible. I should note that I do not see this problem inside links. Although I'm further investigating these problems, I thought I might share them since the next release is being discussed.

Of course, I can unzip them - but why use up the space if info can do it dynamically. I thought that info is able to handle this directly, therefore I provide the info pages compressed. If the info files are not seen, then the script /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh needs to be updated. Gerrit Ja! I checked the info.el source; it appears to be coded to decompress the files if/when they are referenced. Doesn't seem to be dynamic - once uncompressed, I think the files remain that way. But I could research it more deeply. However, it appears that install-info does not extract the directory information for the .info.gz files; therefore they are not visible from the root of the info directory. Again, more research is in order. I'll try to take a look at it this week. M f G, -- David A.

Delightful collection! I don't think your acronym list should have any that haven't appeared, but... : Life's Little Lessons Learned. (Also L^4) We who say that acronyms are acronyms only if you can pronounce them (i.e., RADAR, SONAR, LORAN, etc.) are fighting a losing battle. There just doesn't seem to be an equally-catchy word to describe the likes of VM and FTP; even Richard Lederer could only come up with initialism for the more-general case. Fwiw, I just installed Cygwin (98 SE), and [less] complains of a missing .dll and won't run. (However, IIRC, the Pause key works! Fantastic!) I'm temporarily distracted from going to the FAQ; that's my next place to go. What you folk are doing is quite interesting; reminds me of loopback and UMSDOS, but doesn't seem to be either.

Re: Windres Problem with ComboBox/tabbing? - Fixed/MinGW Problem
Thanx Igor for the pointer, I joined the list and got my answers.
For anybody that cares, or runs into the same problems:
1. The combobox control's height parameter is the height iwith the
dropdown active/i of the control, not its height with the dropdown hidden.
This doesn't seem to be well explained in either Microsoft or other people's
documentation.
2. The tabbing problem is a bit more subtle and if you are running with
MinGW as I am, you are going to have it UNLESS your
GetMessage/Translate/Dispatch loop at the end of WinMain is:
while (GetMessage(Msg,NULL,0,0)){
if ((!IsWindow(hwnd)) || (!IsDialogMessage(hwnd,Msg))){
TranslateMessage(Msg);
DispatchMessage(Msg);
}
}
The IsDialogMessage function determines if a message is for the current
dialog box and processes it, if it is.
This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, except with a key accelerator
is used in the application code.

RE: Is perl-5.8.2 canonized for use on cygwin yet?
I think I've found the problem. By more careful use of the -d=flags option to make, I traced it down to the second of two subdirs targets, and then turned off the NOECHO command (by taking it out of the script line in the Makefile under the second subdirs target). Then, making only in the .../ext/B directory (as Yitzchak suggested), I got this output: % make -f Makefile all cd C make -f Makefile all LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\lib\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\FrameworkSDK\Lib\ LIBPERL_A=libperl LINKTYPE=dynamic PREFIX= OPTIMIZE=-O2 PASTHRU_DEFINE= PASTHRU_INC= Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 Note the LIB variable. It's not the spaces that are glaring, it's that trailing backslash before the closing double-quote. Leave it to Microsoft to confuse a path with a string that is part of the computation of a path (they shoulda left the last slash off; it's only there as step-saving cruft for some string catenation that would probably be better written to do the slash insertion itself anyway; lamers). LIB comes from the calling shell environment, which is a default xterm running bash under XFree86. So here's the question: What sets LIB in the cygwin environment? It comes verbatim from the DOS environment list but I don't see the importation in any of the layered rc files (but I could've missed it). And is there a way to automatically make cygwin translate these paths from backslash to forward slash when importing? You'd think that would be the default. Is there a way to suppress all importation or all but a list of explicitly named variables? Obviously I can exclude some by redefining them in the bashrc files, but what I'd rather do is exclude all except those I want included, in case some software installs new ones. It occurs to me that if these environment variables are simply imported by the fork that spawns cygwin, that's an insecurity (although, as others have noted, if the calling context is already insecure, cygwin is hardly the place to expect an extra layer of armor). --Blair -Original Message- From: Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2003 6:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Blair P.

Question about ash and getopts
I know this is a pseudo-FAQ, but I haven't been able to find a clear enough answer in the archives. 1. Is it not the case that POSIX provides a specification for the getopts builtin? 2. Doesn't ash, as originally written, implement getopts? I'm trying to figure out why this feature was removed, and I've never gotten an answer that made much sense. Every other POSIX-like system I can think of supports getopts in /bin/sh.
