Just a follow-up on this:  I'm doing an article on "portable scripting",
so if anything is happening, I'd like to know about it so I can tell people
whether or not this affects them.  Since getopts is portable to everything
else anyone's been able to name that shipped since 1990 or earlier, this
is gonna stick out like a sore thumb.

Re: perlcc does not work on my cygwin-please help

Well - I think this is a more generic question : whenever you compile a
program the relies on cygwin1.dll (or other cygwin dlls) and wants to
distribute them.

I believe that whenever you do this to an uncontrolled audience the only
decent way is to create a cygwin package and have the users install it via
setup.exe - else your setup is bound to create problems for some in the
audience.

For the specific case I believe it only makes sense to use in cygwin
environments where you do not want to have the users rely on the
installation of the cygwin perl package

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package suite: openldap-2.1.25-1 - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol clients and libraries

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

The LDAP libraries, clients and runtime from the openldap package are now 
available with the Cygwin distribution:

 * http://www.openldap.org/(Homepage)
 * http://www.openldap.org/software/download/  (Download location) 
 
Although the LDAP server seems to run fine and passes all tests it's not 
bundeled with this packages suite. If somebody wants to take over this 
part please stand up...
 
DESCRIPTION:


Lightweight Directory Access Protocol clients and libraries. The libs can 
for example be used to LDAP enable the upcoming XEmacs package or the already 
distributed pine package.

The LDAP clients (ldapadd/-delete/-modify/-search/-compare/-modrdn) are 
useful to talk to standard LDAP servers not only the OpenLDAP one.


Enjoy
Volker

The attachment is the output of strace which was produced after
the state of the scp process had changed to 'stalled'.
At that time, 280,743,936 of a total of 280,751,683 bytes had been

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: xemacs-21.4.14-1 - A powerful, highly customizable open source text editor and application development system

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

The package XEmacs is now available with the Cygwin distribution:

 * http://xemacs.org/ (Homepage)
 * http://ftp.us.xemacs.org/ftp/pub/  (Download location) 

See the following announcements for XEmacs lisp packages and packages which 
will handle conflicts between the emacs and ctags package.
 

DESCRIPTION:


XEmacs is a powerful, highly customizable open source text editor and
application development system, with full GUI support.  It is protected
under the GNU Public License and related to other versions of Emacs, in
particular GNU Emacs.  Its emphasis is on modern graphical user
interface support and an open software development model, similar to
Linux.  XEmacs has an active development community numbering in the
hundreds (and thousands of active beta testers on top of this), and runs
on all versions of MS Windows, on Linux, and on nearly every other
version of Unix in existence.  Support for XEmacs has been supplied by
Sun Microsystems, University of Illinois, Lucid, ETL/Electrotechnical
Laboratory, Amdahl Corporation, BeOpen, and others, as well as the
unpaid time of a great number of individual developers.

CYGWIN version:
===

This version of XEmacs can be used in an X and native Windows environment.
If the DISPLAY variable is set the X version is used, when unset the
native Windows version is used.

See the following for the included features:

Hallelujah.  I had this problem for a long time, and it just went away on
its own-- and my admins recently patched my Novell client.

Can cygwin be configured to always use mixed path output types?

[Cohen Dan]

Hi,

I have a project that requires me to use both cygwin
and MKS.. MKS primarily uses paths like "c:/temp" and
cygwin has the path "/cygdrive/c/temp".  I know I can
use cygpath (cygpath -m /cygdrive/c/temp) to convert
the cygwin path to "c:/temp" but that solution will be
very time consuming to implement in the very large
application I need to convert. I was wondering if
there was a way to configure cygwin to work with the
mixed path mode instead of using cygpath in my
scripts.  

Thanks in advance.

Dan

csh color codes

[gobo]

Dear all,

I am running the latest Cygwin on my Win2k and I'm using csh as the
standard shell. The color mode for XTerm is enabled and works fine, e.g.
with "ls --color".

However I have a problem to figure out how to generate the appropriate
control (escape) sequences to included colors in shell script outputs. I
have some shell scripts here which originate from a HP-UX based csh.
There, the escape sequences are generated by pressing "Ctrl + V" + "Esc" +
"[" + 'code', where 'code' is e.g. "1m" for bold or "32m" for green (=
^[[32m).
However, these codes don't work within the Cygwin-csh. 

Does anyone know the correct sequences here?

Thanks,
Jochen =8-)

Sure.  In the meantime, people should note that they will be unable to
view the contents of the gcc-g++ package via the packages page.

Additionally, when searching for something like "g++", they should be sure
to quote the '+'s with backslashes ('\'), i.e., search for "g\+\+".  In
general, the expression they're searching for is a full-blown perl RE
(perhaps we should add a note about that to "packages/index.html" -- is
the template somewhere in CVS?).

There's more to your Cygwin configuration than the version of the DLL.

Why not use printf and \033 for the escape character?  The
following prints "xxx yyy zzz" where "yyy" is green:

printf 'xxx \033[32myyy\033[m zzz'

Here is a list showing other escape sequences

# foreground colours
printf '\033[30m black \033[m'
printf '\033[31m red \033[m'
printf '\033[32m green \033[m'
printf '\033[33m yellow \033[m'
printf '\033[34m blue \033[m'
printf '\033[35m magenta \033[m'
printf '\033[36m cyan \033[m'
printf '\033[37m white \033[m'

# background colours
printf '\033[40m black \033[m'
printf '\033[41m red \033[m'
printf '\033[42m green \033[m'
printf '\033[43m yellow \033[m'
printf '\033[44m blue \033[m'
printf '\033[45m magenta \033[m'
printf '\033[46m cyan \033[m'
printf '\033[47m white \033[m'

# other
printf '\033[0m default \033[m'
printf '\033[1m bold \033[m'
printf '\033[2m faint \033[m'
printf '\033[3m italic \033[m'
printf '\033[4m underlined \033[m'
printf '\033[5m slowblink \033[m'
printf '\033[6m rapidblink \033[m'

FWIW, Cygwin's file manipulation routines will understand the regular
Win32-style paths (make sure to quote the backslashes in your shell).
Programs that don't attempt to manipulate the paths themselves should work
just fine with Windows paths.  I believe (though I'm not as sure of it)
that a 'single-letter-followed-by-a-colon-followed-by-a-slash' pattern is
also used to indicate a Windows path and the DLL acts accordingly (i.e.,
mixed mode should also work).  If you want to make sure, look in the
latest version of winsup/cygwin/path.cc.

Of course, if some program does attempt to process the path itself (e.g.,
walk through directories, etc), all bets are off.  Also note that you will
lose the benefit of Cygwin mounts and symlinks if you stick to Windows
paths.

csh does nothing to interpret the sequences; it simply echoes them.  The
sequences are processed by the terminal program (either the console or the
xterm).  You only need to make sure the sequences are encoded correctly.
You might want to let some library do the encoding for you depending on
the value of TERM...

Check if the same sequences work from the HPUX bash/sh.  If they do, then
look for a problem in the way you encode the sequences in your csh
scripts.  If they don't, you're probably echoing the wrong sequences.

Rsync, Cygwin and ACL support

[alaslavic]

My life would be much easier if I could use Rsync on Cygwin, to go from
windows to linux, and preserve POSIX acls along the way.  Rsync does not
support this, without a patch.  This patch works fine in linux, and applies
correctly in Cygwin, but I am unable to get Cygwin past the ./configure
stage.

I have applied the patch to the rsync source, and run ./configure
--with-acl-support=yes.
There is a failure during configure that is killing acl support  --->

Checking whether to support ACLS... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl...
no

I suppose my question for the list is, is the POSIX acl support in Cygwin
complete enough that this should work, or am I wasting my time?  If anyone
knows a way around this, I would be most appreciative.

Cryptic, perhaps, but that's exactly what I meant.  :-)

cygwin 1.5.6-1: CTRL-C freezes bash

[Brandon Nelson]

I've looked all over for an answer to this problem, but haven't seen any reference to 
it in such a basic form.

Pressing CTRL-C in bash freezes the shell. I get this error (examples of varying 
numbers in curly brackets):

{10, 8} [main] bash {1312} sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, 
signal {-33, 2}, rc 258, Win32 error {2, 3}

Sometimes followed by:

Terminate batch job (Y/N)?

I've tried the latest snapshot, in addition to the current installer, and still 
encounter this problem. Below is my cygcheck -svr output. Has anyone else seen this?

WAG: you're using Cygwin 1.5.6.  Don't.  It's fairly broken.  Use 1.5.5 or
the latest snapshot.  See http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ for details.

I believe  sums it up
pretty nicely.  BTW, your cygcheck output below does not show you using
the latest snapshot.  See  for instructions
on installing and using snapshots.

P.S. Next time, please attach the cygcheck output as an uncompressed text

"Error when trying to run ls or rm commands"

[Jorge Soto]

To who it may read this,

I recently installed cygwin in my pc, but trying to run 'ls' or 'rm'
commands I get a command not found response from the program, then I used
the complete path /bin/ls and then I get a new message with a permission
denied response and a window message saying .DLL file not found, required
CYGICONV-2.DLL.

If only this detail was my problem then I assume I was doing something very
wrong, but for my surprise I can run the 'cd' and 'pwd' commands with no
problems.

I hope someone can guide me if something is wrong with my installation or if
I made a mistake, thnx a lot

Greetings from Mexico

Jorge Soto

Re: SCP doesn't complete transfers of large files

I'm not much of a unix expert, could you explain what that's doing?  I 
know a bit about tar, so I recognize the arguments to it, but I'm not 
sure how they're interacting.  It looks like it might run tar on the 
remote machine, and tar up all the desired files, the output of which is 
streamed over to a local copy of tar that un-tars them.  I'm not 
familiar at all with the -T option for ssh, and the man page entry isn't 
illuminating for one such as I.  Would an example command be:

remote machine abc has sshd running, and has file xyz that I want locally.
ssh -T abc "tar cfz - xyz"|tar xvvfz -

Something probably went wrong with the package dependency mechanism used
by the setup program.  This has been a relatively frequently reported
issue.

In general, to solve this kind of problem, visit:

http://cygwin.com/packages/

enter cygiconv-2.dll, and you would see that it is part of
libiconv2/libiconv2-1.9.1-3.  Please install this package via Cygwin's
setup program.

cd and pwd are built into the bash shell that Cygwin runs by default.

In general, it is common courtesy to read the 1.) FAQ and 2.)
documentation as well as 3.) searching the mailing list archives before
posting.  If you had done 1.) and 3.), you would not have needed to post.

Also, please read:

before posting next time, especially the part about attaching cygcheck

[Fwd: Cygwin NFS Server]

[Sam Robb]

Rich,

  I've redirected this to the Cygwin mailing list -
other folks may have these questions as well.
> Sorry if this is a particularly boneheaded question,
> but where can I find some documentation to help me
> set up NFS Server on Cygwin?
You can find documentation for most packages under
/usr/share/doc.
Cygwin-specific documentation (including the nfs-server
docs) are located under /usr/share/doc/Cygwin.
Man pages are also provided - 'man nfsd', 'man mountd',
etc.

Could you please post the output from running mount?

You can restart mountd and nfsd, ex:

  cygrunsrv --stop "mountd"
  cygrunsrv --stop "nfsd"
  cygrunsrv --start "mountd"
  cygrunsrv --start "nfsd"
Or you can just send the processes a SIGHUP to tell them
to reread the exports file:
  kill -s 1 
  kill -s 1

Location of docs and man pages I've already described.
No, you shouldn't need to install the source, unless
you want to work on providing a patch for something :-)

Re: Can cygwin be configured to always use mixed path output types?

[Cohen Dan]

Hi Igor et al.,

Here is what I am seeing the cygwin command prompt:

$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/temp

Here is what I would like to see:

$ pwd
c:/temp

I am fairly new to cygwin and am not entirely certain
about the solution you are proposing.. (For example,
what do you mean by "check the latest version of
winsup/cygwin/path.cc."?)  

In any case, If there is no solution to this, then I
know my course of action and would only ask in the
future that cygwin environment and tools support the
two modes (Even if that means losing some symbolic
link and Cygwin mounting capabilities).

If I am wrong, I would appreciate an example of how to
set this up.. Thank you in advance.

Re: Can cygwin be configured to always use mixed path output types?

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Dan,

My message was meant to say that Cygwin will accept Windows-style paths as
input (the comment about path.cc was to make sure mixed-style paths were
also accepted).  If you want Cygwin to *generate* Win32-style paths,
that's unlikely to happen.  In fact, I can tell you right now that Cygwin
is not going to be changed for better interoperability with either MKS or
SFU.

The best solution for you might be to create aliases (or exported
functions) for each of the necessary commands that would invoke 'cygpath'
on the output of the corresponding command (something like

pwd() {
  cygpath -m "`command pwd`"
}
export pwd

might do it).  Hope this helps,
Igor

RE: Rsync, Cygwin and ACL support

[Rafael Kitover]

It seems there's no posix acl support in Cygwin, as far as I could see.

The libraries are here if anyone wants to try porting them to Win32 acls:

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/latest/cmd_tars/acl-2.2.15.src.tar.gz 
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/latest/cmd_tars/attr-2.4.8.src.tar.gz

 i.e. Jochen needs to find a way to get e.g. echo to actually print an ESC
where it is apropriate. NOTE, for bash:

$ /bin/echo -e "\033[36;7m Reversed colors \033[m Standard colors"
 Reversed colors  Standard colors
$ type -a echo
echo is a shell builtin
echo is /usr/bin/echo
echo is /bin/echo
$ echo -e "\e[36;7m Reversed colors \e[m Standard colors"
 Reversed colors  Standard colors

Help for checking; $ man od
e.g:  $ echo TEST | od -t x1z


 Example of color code use from bash/rxvt:

$ echo -e "\e[7m Reversed colors \e[m Standard colors"

-- fgtab --
#!/bin/bash

echo "Foreground/Background table"

for (( f=0; f<8 ; f++ ));do
for (( b=0; b<8 ; b++ ));do
echo -en "\e[3${f};4${b}m $f/$b \e[m";
done;
echo -e "\e[m";
done
-- eof --


 I'm not sure this works in anything else than a rxvt and cmd/command
*window* (ANSI.SYS activates the same for old "DOS").
I believe the codes are for some sort of ANSI terminal (I learnt them on the
Amiga
where they work in the Shell/CON window and at least in part for the
printer).

FWIW, Cygwin's file manipulation routines will understand the regular
Win32-style paths (make sure to quote the backslashes in your shell).
Programs that don't attempt to manipulate the paths themselves should
work just fine with Windows paths.  I believe (though I'm not as sure
of it) that a 'single-letter-followed-by-a-colon-followed-by-a-slash'
pattern is also used to indicate a Windows path and the DLL acts
accordingly (i.e., mixed mode should also work).  If you want to make
sure, look in the latest version of winsup/cygwin/path.cc.
Of course, if some program does attempt to process the path itself
(e.g., walk through directories, etc), all bets are off.  Also note
that you will lose the benefit of Cygwin mounts and symlinks if you
stick to Windows paths.
 Igor


Or, if you want to keep your cygwin space unix-y and only have 
windows-style paths when mucking around under /cygdrive (one 
line)(requires sed):

alias pwd='pwd | sed "-es/^\/cygdrive\//:/" -eTz "-e s/\(:\)\(.\)/\2\1/" 
-e:a "-es/\//\\\/" -eta -e:z'

Hope That's Of Use

Cygwin nfs-server

[John_Bailey3]

I am currently working in an environment with Solaris, Linux, and 
Windows machines.  I use Cygwin on my Windows machine all the time and I 
have very little issues.  I am currently using Cygwin's nfs-server to 
create shares to mount on the Solaris and Linux machines.  

The nfs-server works great on my Windows 2000 Pro box, but will not run 
on Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server.  portmap starts correctly 
and can be run as a server, but the rpc.nfsd and mountd.rpc both fail 
when they are started.  



When starting the services 'rpc.nfsd -F' or 'rpc.mountd -F' The error is 
as follows:

Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign 
requested address
nfsd[3248] 01/29/104 16:09 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (nfsd, 2, 
udp).

Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign 
requested address
mountd[2404] 01/29/104 16:11 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (mountd, 
1, udp).

I have seen a couple posts like this in the past and I am wondering if 
anyone has any more information.

Thanks for your help.
John

John,

  I've been doing my best to pay attention to issues like
this, but it's been difficult finding time to try and track
down these problems.  In this particular case, it's also
frustrating in that I can't seem to reproduce the problem.

  If you (or anyone else) experiencing these problems could
take the time to try and identify the root cause, I'd be
very grateful.

Hmm, I believe the OP didn't want "/home/blah", he wanted
"C:/cygwin/home/blah".  And for the /cygdrive/* cases, that's what cygpath
does.  Also, cygpath comes with the cygwin package, and sed requires
installing a separate one.

Besides, you can do it much simpler in sed, something like

alias pwd='pwd | sed -e"s,^/cygdrive/\(.\),\1:," -eTz -e"s,/,\\\,g" -e:z'

Or, since the OP wanted the mixed style ('/' instead of '\') even this

alias pwd='pwd | sed -e"s,^/cygdrive/\(.\),\1:,"'

John,

Some things to check:

Are you running these services as SYSTEM?  Separately, or through inetd?
If the former, do you have problems with any other services (e.g., sshd)?
If the latter, do other inetd services (e.g., ftpd) run ok? Do you get the
same errors in the logs (either in /var/log/*, or in the Windows Event
Log)?  Do you have the appropriate entries in /etc/services?  Are you
running any firewall software?

Oh, and please attach your cygcheck output as requested in the Cygwin
problem reporting guidelines at .

Re: Can cygwin be configured to always use mixed path output types?

I see I have much to learn about sed, beyond the obvious of combining
steps I missed.  Thanks; that will help clean up another tidbit I've
done to check the path for multiple copies of cygwin1.dll.
Apparently, I have much to learn about Thunderbird, too, as I thought I
had it configured to wrap lines for me at 72 characters, which my prior
post obviously didn't.

C COM objects?

[Brian Ford]

I admit to know almost nothing about COM objects, but I have been tasked
to find out if they can be built from code that uses cygwin1.dll services.

Searching for Cygwin and COM on the web, and in the archives, is difficult
for the obvious .com reason.

What I think I do know is that C++ COM objects are probably out because of
name mangling and vtable issues.  I am still unclear about whether the
libs that implement COM use msvcrt*.dll.  I assume if that is true, then
all COM objects are out because of the newlib conflict.

Any pointers to C COM object examples or information about using Cygwin
based code in them would be *greatly* appreciated.  If you feel this
subject is too far OT, then please feel free to ignore my Reply-To header
and send me personal email.  Thanks.

setup change this year?

[Rutten, Mark]

Is there something different about the way that "setup" runs since Christmas?

I have a local mirror of the cygwin packages (neatened up using Michael Chase's 
clean_setup perl script) which I access across the local network.  I always call setup 
with the "-5" option (no md5 checks).

All was working fine last year, now setup bogs down my machine (excessive processor 
usage by the "system" process) after parsing the setup.ini file.  My first impression 
is that setup is doing the md5 checks without telling me that it is, but I can't be 
sure.  My main confusion stems from the fact that there hasn't been any changes in the 
setup program since last October(ish) - I'm using version 2.416.

If anyone could please give me some hints, that would be fantastic.

Thanks,
Mark.

Sounds like a local network problem if you're actually just using a local 
mirror and not just using it in addition to other mirrors on the Internet.
That's just a WAG though.  Perhaps you want to visit:



You can pull down 2.418 (really just adds resizable controls) and see if
it acts differently.  You can also pull down the debug version of 2.415.
If it acts similarly, it would give you a quick basis to debug from, 
without having to rebuild 2.416.  But if you're really serious about 
finding your problem, building 2.416 as debug locally is probably your
best course of action.

No. No releases for quite a while actually. Larrys suggestion is
probably your best bet to id the problem.

COM doesn't require MSVCRT, though it doesn't preclude it either.  So,
depending on what you're doing and what you're using in COM-land, it's 
possible to dodge the MSVCRT bullet.

COM is language independent, which means it's possible to use COM
objects from C code.  I've never done this though.  I remember some
rumblings about people successfully "working with COM" under Cygwin
but it was long ago and I don't remember any details.

Sorry.

Re: C COM objects?

[Michael D. Crawford]

I tried a couple of times to get ZooLib (http://www.zoolib.org/) to build with 
Cygwin.  ZooLib is a cross-platform application framework, and on Windows uses 
COM to handle the clipboard and drag and drop.

I believe that actually you CAN get COM to work with gcc, even from C++, but 
you're going to need to build gcc and its libraries a different way than the way 
it's normally built by the Cygwin developers.  I'm afraid I don't remember what 
is needed, but it has something to do with vtable thunking.  You need to set 
whatever option deals with that differently than the way it's built normally by 
the cygwin folks.

I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but it's been a while.  Maybe if you search 
for my email address or the word "zoolib" in the list archives you can find 
where I asked about this before.

It's actually not very hard at all to do COM programming in C.  A COM interface 
is little more than a structure full of pointers to functions.  I have some 
sample code from when I gave a talk on writing Mac OS X user clients at MacHack 
last year.  Yes, Apple's Mac OS X actually uses COM!  Who would have thought. 
I've been meaning for months to post the source on my website but I got to fix 
it up before I do.  I'll go have a look and maybe I can post some snippets as a 
reply to this thread.

RE: C COM objects?

[Rafael Kitover]

Hi Michael, I remembered your sig from a Slashdot article :)

If COM and OLE are similar beasties, I think you mean -fvtable-thunks. GCC 2.95
required -fvtable-thunks to build OLE stuff, like the Win32::OLE module in the
perl-libwin32 package, but since GCC 3.x it works fine as it is, and that
option no longer exists.

It seems most of the OLE/COM stuff should work more or less fine in Cygwin with
a bit of tweaking.

Now, if only we could get a Cygwin version of tchar.h... I guess I could write
one :)

RE: C COM objects?

[Michael D. Crawford]

Hi Michael, I remembered your sig from a Slashdot article :)
How nice!

If COM and OLE are similar beasties,
OLE is built on top of COM.  Historically, Microsoft came up with OLE to do 
component GUI stuff, but had to find a way for programs to use components from 
other programs, and COM is the solution they found.  I don't think OLE is 
considered all that important anymore, but COM has found uses quite far beyond 
its inventors' original purposes.

It seems most of the OLE/COM stuff should work more or less fine in Cygwin with
a bit of tweaking.
I'll give ZooLib another try.  If I can build ZooLib with Cygwin, that will mean 
that ZooLib can be built with gcc on all the platforms that ZooLib supports (Mac 
OS, Windows, Linux and BeOS).  I think that would encourage its acceptance as a 
framework for writing open source software, if one isn't required to use an 
expensive compiler to build Windows software with it.

gdb/ddd problem

[Lester Ingber]

I have all the latest current Cygwin files.  I just tried ddd on an
executable.  The DDD: Debugger Console came up, but I got a blank screen
with messages about problems with gdb:

% ddd run_trd.exe
gdb: access /dev/tty3: No such file or directory
gdb: cannot open master pty: No such file or directory
gdb: communication setup failed

I'm not sure if this a gdb or an xfree problem, so I'm cross-posting this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Lester

The problem is solved in the latest snapshot of the cygwin DLL.
