cygutils - mkshortcut - Patch for --desc option for description/tooltip text - Needed for new Cygwin/X package
Attached is a patch to mkshortcut to allow it to take a [-d|--desc] DESC
option that specifies the text of the description (tooltip text) for the
shortcut. If -d|--desc is not specified, then the previous behavior of
setting the description to the POSIX path to the application is used.
I have build tested and run tested the attached patch.
I need this patch for a replacement for the XFree86-bin-icons package.
I already have the new package in hand, but I need this new
functionality in order for the shortcuts to have meaningful names and
descriptions.
Harold

Some help with [re-]installation please
I had a disk disaster over the week-end, a disk 'optimiser' made my 160Gb main drive very optimal by wiping it completely. I was fairly well backed up etc. but it takes a while to get everything back to normality. I found re-installing cygwin and cygwin/X a bit confusing so would appreciate some comments and help. I had all the ftp'ed files left from installing cygwin previously sitting in a directory on a networded drive, could I have used these to re-install cygwin rather than downloading everything again? If so how does one do it? There are a number of different directories, one for each FTP site I've used. As it was I chose an FTP site (the last one I had used I think) and re-downloaded from there, or did I? If I accept defaults does it just download only the files which have been updated and install the rest from the previously downloaded files on disk. I really find the window where you select what to download, etc. *very* confusing, some of the wording is very odd. Two examples from the User's Guide which I find difficult to understand are:- You can change setup.exe's view style, which is helpful if you know the name of a package you want to install but not which category it is in. Click on the View button and it will rotate between Category (the default), Full (all packages), and Partial (only packages to be upgraded). If you are familiar with Unix, you will probably want to at east glance through the Full listing for your favorite tools. So what does 'Partial' mean? I can see that Category means all packages sorted into types, Full means all in alphabetical order but what does Partial mean? Does it mean only display packages that I've got already? ... and the second (and more confusing for me) bit is:- Once you have an existing Cygwin installation, the setup.exe chooser is also used to manage your Cygwin installation. Information on installed packages is kept in the /etc/setup/ directory of your Cygwin installation; if setup.exe cannot find this directory it will act just like you had no Cygwin installation. If setup.exe finds a newer version of an installed package available, it will automatically mark it to be upgraded. To Uninstall, Reinstall, or get the Source for an existing package, click on Keep to toggle it. Also, to avoid the need to reboot after upgrading, make sure to close all Cygwin windows and stop all Cygwin processes before setup.exe begins to install the upgraded package. What on earth does To Uninstall, Reinstall, or get the Source for an existing package, click on Keep to toggle it., mean??? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Additionally, I am simply not comfortable writing step-by-step instructions for running the post-install script. You are making it sound easier to describe in spoonfulls than I think it is. I think you'll find that describing it in a bullet-proof manner will lead to a list of caveats three times longer than my simple umount instruction. For example, you would have to put in a caveat for if they last updated their fonts before a certain date, in which case they would not have a postinstall script at all. We are wasting a lot of words on a issue that is already sufficiently addressed. If you really want it changed, write the step-by-step instructions for it, convince me that they are easier and more reliable, and I will change it; otherwise, lets drop it. Harold

Re: Some help with [re-]installation please
Since none of this is really specific to Cygwin/X, I've redirected this thread to the main cygwin list. I'll take a stab at a few of these, but there are parts I am not sure of either. On Wed, 10 Mar 2004, Chris Green wrote: I had a disk disaster over the week-end, a disk 'optimiser' made my 160Gb main drive very optimal by wiping it completely. I was fairly well backed up etc. but it takes a while to get everything back to normality. Yep. My 160Gb main drive in a brand new Dell box died in less than a month. I had just got the box up and configured, but I had no backups yet :(. So, I sympathsize. I found re-installing cygwin and cygwin/X a bit confusing so would appreciate some comments and help. I had all the ftp'ed files left from installing cygwin previously sitting in a directory on a networded drive, could I have used these to re-install cygwin rather than downloading everything again? If so, how does one do it? Yes. Choose Install from Local Directory instead of Install from Internet, and point setup there. Keep in mind, however, you would have missed out on all the new and exciting updates :). There are a number of different directories, one for each FTP site I've used. This is the part I am not sure how to handle. As it was I chose an FTP site (the last one I had used I think) and re-downloaded from there, or did I? If I accept defaults does it just download only the files which have been updated and install the rest from the previously downloaded files on disk. I think it uses the Local Package Directory that it prompted you for as a cache. So, I think the answer is yes. I really find the window where you select what to download, etc. *very* confusing, some of the wording is very odd. Two examples from the User's Guide which I find difficult to understand are:- You can change setup.exe's view style, which is helpful if you know the name of a package you want to install but not which category it is in. Click on the View button and it will rotate between Category (the default), Full (all packages), and Partial (only packages to be upgraded). If you are familiar with Unix, you will probably want to at east glance through the Full listing for your favorite tools. So what does 'Partial' mean? I can see that Category means all packages sorted into types, Full means all in alphabetical order but what does Partial mean? Does it mean only display packages that I've got already? I found it confusing at first too :). No, it is more of a view of what is to come ie. the packages that you or it have selected to upgrade/install. Does that help? ... and the second (and more confusing for me) bit is:- Once you have an existing Cygwin installation, the setup.exe chooser is also used to manage your Cygwin installation. Information on installed packages is kept in the /etc/setup/ directory of your Cygwin installation; if setup.exe cannot find this directory it will act just like you had no Cygwin installation. If setup.exe finds a newer version of an installed package available, it will automatically mark it to be upgraded. To Uninstall, Reinstall, or get the Source for an existing package, click on Keep to toggle it. Also, to avoid the need to reboot after upgrading, make sure to close all Cygwin windows and stop all Cygwin processes before setup.exe begins to install the upgraded package. What on earth does To Uninstall, Reinstall, or get the Source for an existing package, click on Keep to toggle it., mean??? Did you try it? Clicking on Keep transitions it to Uninstall, Reinstall, Source, etc. -- Brian Ford Senior Realtime Software Engineer VITAL - Visual Simulation Systems FlightSafety International Phone: 314-551-8460 Fax: 314-551-8444

Can you confirm the same behavior on the below program before and

Btw, I think that if you check this in, set_process_mask becomes

Creating DLL's for use with MSVC
We are currently porting a linux C++ project to windows. The project consists of several dll's (or .so's). To recreate those dll's in Windows it seems like you have to add a lot of __cdecls definitions or use a definitions file. Neither method is appealing to us. So, I read somewhere that Cygwin might do the trick by exporting all symbols. So, I started to compile dll's in cygwin: c++ -shared -mno-cygwin -o mydll.dll mydll.cpp \ -Wl, --out-implib=mydll.lib -W1,--output-def=mydll.def -W1,--export-all-symbols The problem was that I could not link my MSVC program with the import library, since the symbols are decorated differently. Cygwin (and I guess Linux) creates symbols like _ZN7Myclass8GetValueEv while MSVC looks for [EMAIL PROTECTED]@@QAEHXZ. The definitions file was correct however. Then I read somewhere that you should produce the import library from the def file using MS lib: lib /machine:i386 /def:mydll.def This did not work either, the symbols are of course decorated the same way (cygwin way). I have also tried to use the dllwrap and dlltool but all I got was empty def files, and undefined references. Please tell me I that I actually can create DLL's in Cygwin and link them with MSVC. If you do that can you please tell me how. I spent yesterday reading and reading, compiling and linking but without any success. / Niklas -- 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: dvips failing to include cmdunh10 font definition
Ah, many thanks. It's all looking much clearer now. do you have one of those: $ locate cmdunh /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/sauter/b-cmdunh.mf /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmdunh10.mf /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/vcm/vcmdunh10.tfm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm $ locate cmdunh locate: /usr/var/locatedb: No such file or directory Hmmm.

I had tetex-tiny installed (it was a prerequisite for another package) but not any of the other tetex packages. Installing tetex-base fixed the problem, and everything seems to be working fine now. I guess we're left with two questions: 1) I've never properly understood the intended distinction between tetex-tiny and tetex-base. However, if tiny is intended to be a small, self-contained basic distribution, and contains the mf and tfm files for cmdunh10, shouldn't it have whatever else is required to make the font work properly in dvips, or know how to build it from the MetaFont source? 2) When I ran dvips, it presumably couldn't find the cmdunh10 font definition, so it failed to include it. However, I don't recall seeing any error message, or I might have spotted this earlier. I guess I could uninstall tetex-base to examine the dvips output again, to see whether there was anything which I should have noticed, but shouldn't dvips be more vocal? But in any case, it's working now. Many thanks indeed.

I had tetex-tiny installed (it was a prerequisite for another package) but not any of the other tetex packages. Installing tetex-base fixed the problem, and everything seems to be working fine now. I guess we're left with two questions: 1) I've never properly understood the intended distinction between tetex-tiny and tetex-base. However, if tiny is intended to be a small, self-contained basic distribution, and contains the mf and tfm files for cmdunh10, shouldn't it have whatever else is required to make the font work properly in dvips, or know how to build it from the MetaFont source? 2) When I ran dvips, it presumably couldn't find the cmdunh10 font definition, so it failed to include it. However, I don't recall seeing any error message, or I might have spotted this earlier. I guess I could uninstall tetex-base to examine the dvips output again, to see whether there was anything which I should have noticed, but shouldn't dvips be more vocal? But in any case, it's working now. Many thanks indeed.

Re: Creating DLL's for use with MSVC

Thanks for your answer Alejandro, I still can't get it right though.
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass();
~MyClass();
int getValue();
void setValue(int val);

int value_;
};
Try:

-W1,--output-def=mydll.def \
-W1,--export-all-symbols \

-Wl,--compat-implib \

Yu should recycle recycle your def file. You see, it will contain a
lot of unnecessary symbols, so... After you have obtained a def file
above, edit it to include only the symbols you really need exported
and include it in your project for future use. Then you can do:
I guess I don't have to edit this file
cc++ -shared -mno-cygwin -o mydll.dll mydll.cpp mydll.def \
-Wl,--out-implib=mydll.lib \
-Wl,--compat-implib \
-Wl,--enable-auto-import \
-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base \
-Wl,--add-stdcall-alias \
-Wl,--enable-stdcall-fixup
To obtain a well behaved dll and a (probably?) usable import library.
If the .dll and .lib file is correct I can't tell. When I try to link
the .lib file with an MSVC executable it still can't find the
references. I am not sure what to expect, should the lib, def and dll
contain Cygwin decorated symbols (which is the case now) or the MSVC
symbols? Or do I have to add any flags to the MSVC linker (compiler) to
solve the name differences?

RE: using shared libraries w/o cygwin
James, If you want to build objcopy locally and have it linked against cygwin1.dll, just compile it with Cygwin's compiler. Don't use the '-mno-cygwin' flag. The 'binutils' package obviously builds 'objcopy' so you can consult that package's process if you're having problems with building your custom version.

The problem I'm having is that whenever I run my program on a file, it appears to have a STACK_VIOLATION on a call to malloc. It works just fine under Linux, under cygwin, and can print the usage statement and things like that under DOS, but crashes in DOS whenever I actually pass it a data file. So far, the only explanation I can come up with is that there's some sort of failure during the dynamic libraries. Is there any way I can setup a DOS environment to make it run? I tried statically linking in bfd, but that didn't seem to the problem either. Could this be caused by something else? The 'objcopy' that comes with the 'binutils' package works fine when invoked directly from a DOS prompt (outside of a Cygwin shell). Of course, that one comes with Cygwin and links to cygwin1.dll. If you don't want to have to install Cygwin or manage a local copy of cygwin1.dll on your target systems, then this isn't an option for you.

Advice needed: Scheduled rsync via SSH with ssh-agent...
Hi there folks, I need some advice on how to do what I initially thought would be a simply thing. Basically, on a scheduled basis, I need to rsync some files between hostA to hostB. I have to make use of SSH for the connection which is where my troubles are coming in. As this process needs to be automated and hands off, I need to make the authentication happen automatically. Interactively, I can run ssh-agent and then ssh-add to get rsync to continue without a prompt. However, as this process needs to be scripted and work after reboots with no fiddling...im in a bit of a rut. I cannot see how I can get ssh-agent running as a service. I've seen some posts from folks on this, but I tried their methods to no avail. While I do get ssh-agent running as a service, the needed env variables are not set and so ssh-add does not work. Maybe there is some other workaround to this or there is some better solution you folks can think of. My only other possibility is using a Perl script I wrote using SCP to do the sync with Net::SCP::Expect.., but...rsync is more robust and hence I would like to stick with it.

cygwin sshd / using USB ports (TCP forwarding over USB)
Hi, I was wondering whether there is a way to get cygwin apps to use USB ports. I have two Windows XP computers I need to hookup. On the server (which has connectivity to internet) I don't have admin rights, so I can't setup IPs. I can open TCP ports on localhsot as a user, though, and I can plug stuff into USB ports. As worst-case scenario, I might be able to convert the other machine (the client) into a Linux box - would that help ? I was hoping to do TCP-port forwarding using an ssh/sshd over a USB port. (Essentially I was hoping to get ssh/sshd to open the USB as a tty - I guess.)

Re: Creating DLL's for use with MSVC
Brian Ford wrote: Because it took me 20 minutes to dig back through the list archives and find the set of posts that confused me :^\? I still don't think I found all of them. With C++, the problem is that it's not just a matter of matching the mangling scheme - it's a matter of matching the MS VC++ compiler's object layout scheme *exactly*, including virtual table layouts. The virtual table layout algorithm for GCC is shared across all implementations, and is incompatible with MSVC's. And IIRC, MSVC's virtual table layout scheme is patented (they play some clever tricks to avoid having to have split virtual tables with multiple inheritance, using inbound and outbound stubs to match object offsets), so it might not even be possible for GCC to ever emulate it exactly. So simply genererating a different kind of mangling may (will) not be enough. Basically, if you want to mix C++ objects from *any* two vendors, you have to use 'extern C'. The cardinal, and simple, rule of C++ APIs is never to export C++ symbols directly. Both the Sun JVM and NSAPI programmers blew this badly, and as a result, have historically had all sorts of trouble with mixing compiler versions. -- Shankar. -- 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/

1.5.5.1 fgetc returns no error for bad file descriptor
Hi All,
The 9th assertion of fgetc in IEEE std 2003.1-1992 Test Methods for
Measuring Conformance to Posix-Part1 System Interface document states:
When the stream pointer argument addresses a file descriptor that
is not open for reading, then a call to fgetc()returns a value of
EOF and sets errno to [EBADF].
The current implementation does not set any errno. It says No error.
here is the small program which i compiled using gcc under cygwin and it
prints 'FAILURE: No error'
#includestdio.h
#includeerrno.h
int main()
{
char path[]=./testfile;
FILE *p;
p=fopen(path,w); /*file descriptor is open for writing!*/
fgetc(p); /*must set errno to EBADF*/
if(errno!=EBADF)
perror(FAILURE);
else
printf(PASS\n);
return 0;
}

Re: cygwin sshd / using USB ports (TCP forwarding over USB)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was wondering whether there is a way to get cygwin apps to use USB ports. I have two Windows XP computers I need to hookup. On the server (which has connectivity to internet) I don't have admin rights, so I can't setup IPs. I can open TCP ports on localhsot as a user, though, and I can plug stuff into USB ports. As worst-case scenario, I might be able to convert the other machine (the client) into a Linux box - would that help ? I was hoping to do TCP-port forwarding using an ssh/sshd over a USB port. (Essentially I was hoping to get ssh/sshd to open the USB as a tty - I guess.) Any ideas on how could I port-forward over USB (Even if without SSH) ? I have never heard of anyone implementing TCP/IP directly over USB, I'm not even sure it's possible -- certainly not with Cygwin. I don't even think you can connect two USB hosts directly like that because it's a master-slave kind of protocol. The closest you will come would be two USB ethernet adapters and a crossover cable. But if you don't have administrator rights on one machine I doubt you'll be able to bring up another interface. If you just want to transfer stuff, go down to Office Depot or whatever and get one of those PC to PC backup apps. They let you move files between PCs using serial, parallel, or USB (with adaptor.) However, all of this discussion (except for ssh port forwarding) is very much off topic for this list.

True. The man page is messed up. If the maintainer used CVS, he needs Yodl to generate it, what also raiser another issue. Since Yodl isn't part of Cygwin, one can't generate it from the source package. BTW, this is just to report that I noticed there are 2 empties directories in the binary package, namely /usr/include and /usr/lib, and rxvt-2.7.10.README is installed in /usr/doc/Cygwin, not /usr/share/doc/Cygwin. The same for the man page, which should go in /usr/share/man/man1. And the source package includes autom4te.cache. -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- 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: Some help with [re-]installation please
Since none of this is really specific to Cygwin/X, I've redirected this thread to the main cygwin list. I'll take a stab at a few of these, but there are parts I am not sure of either. On Wed, 10 Mar 2004, Chris Green wrote: I had a disk disaster over the week-end, a disk 'optimiser' made my 160Gb main drive very optimal by wiping it completely. I was fairly well backed up etc. but it takes a while to get everything back to normality. Yep. My 160Gb main drive in a brand new Dell box died in less than a month. I had just got the box up and configured, but I had no backups yet :(. So, I sympathsize. I found re-installing cygwin and cygwin/X a bit confusing so would appreciate some comments and help. I had all the ftp'ed files left from installing cygwin previously sitting in a directory on a networded drive, could I have used these to re-install cygwin rather than downloading everything again? If so, how does one do it? Yes. Choose Install from Local Directory instead of Install from Internet, and point setup there. Keep in mind, however, you would have missed out on all the new and exciting updates :). There are a number of different directories, one for each FTP site I've used. This is the part I am not sure how to handle. As it was I chose an FTP site (the last one I had used I think) and re-downloaded from there, or did I? If I accept defaults does it just download only the files which have been updated and install the rest from the previously downloaded files on disk. I think it uses the Local Package Directory that it prompted you for as a cache. So, I think the answer is yes. I really find the window where you select what to download, etc. *very* confusing, some of the wording is very odd. Two examples from the User's Guide which I find difficult to understand are:- You can change setup.exe's view style, which is helpful if you know the name of a package you want to install but not which category it is in. Click on the View button and it will rotate between Category (the default), Full (all packages), and Partial (only packages to be upgraded). If you are familiar with Unix, you will probably want to at east glance through the Full listing for your favorite tools. So what does 'Partial' mean? I can see that Category means all packages sorted into types, Full means all in alphabetical order but what does Partial mean? Does it mean only display packages that I've got already? I found it confusing at first too :). No, it is more of a view of what is to come ie. the packages that you or it have selected to upgrade/install. Does that help? ... and the second (and more confusing for me) bit is:- Once you have an existing Cygwin installation, the setup.exe chooser is also used to manage your Cygwin installation. Information on installed packages is kept in the /etc/setup/ directory of your Cygwin installation; if setup.exe cannot find this directory it will act just like you had no Cygwin installation. If setup.exe finds a newer version of an installed package available, it will automatically mark it to be upgraded. To Uninstall, Reinstall, or get the Source for an existing package, click on Keep to toggle it. Also, to avoid the need to reboot after upgrading, make sure to close all Cygwin windows and stop all Cygwin processes before setup.exe begins to install the upgraded package. What on earth does To Uninstall, Reinstall, or get the Source for an existing package, click on Keep to toggle it., mean??? Did you try it? Clicking on Keep transitions it to Uninstall, Reinstall, Source, etc. -- Brian Ford Senior Realtime Software Engineer VITAL - Visual Simulation Systems FlightSafety International Phone: 314-551-8460 Fax: 314-551-8444 -- 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/
