So vetoing ac-archive because for this reason wouldn't work. Hmm. I don't like the idea. We should really keep in mind that 1. All Linux distros are different 2. Cygwin is not Linux Which distro of Linux will we use as role model? Red Hat? Fedora? SuSE? Debian? Connectiva? Which version? What if a package is in, say, Debian Woody but not in Red Hat 9? And why should that be a rule? Cygwin is not Linux. Cygwin doesn't support all function calls of a Linux system. Also some vanilla package maintainers ignore Windows based systems or even refuse to make any patches to accomodate them. Or some packages are incredibly difficult to port, sometimes because of the weird build system. These are good reasons for some packages being in Cygwin in favor of other packages which are usually used on Linux. E. g., we have Exim and ssmtp but not sendmail and postfix. After all, also the users might be different in what tools they use. If our net distro is in any way similar to a Linux distro, I guess it would be Debian or, perhaps, Fedora. And then, two questions should be raised and discussed: - How is the distro process controlled in Debian and Fedora and can we inherit them? - What criteria are used to refuse or accept a package and can we inherit them? I don't think that the current setup.exe is dumbed down. It just isn't really feature-rich. That's true. I'm wondering mostly about stuff like, for instance, jumping immediately to the package selection, keeping all other settings, including the mirror. This would allow running w/o having to retrieve the mirror list from cygwin.com. Or no questions about desktop icon and start menu entry.

Re: Modal and AOT exit dialog
Harold, I just checked in a framework for you to display the number of connected clients in the Exit box. All that is left for you to do is to go to windialogs.c/winExitDlgProc/WM_INITDIALOG and set the value to iConnectedClients to whatever the number of connected clients is. :) Thank you for the great help, I utilized the framework with a slight change that took iConnectedClients into ScreenPriv. (A file scope variable could be preferable since it is referenced only within windialog.c.) I also added the silent exit feature (actually the above feature is a by-product of this). If a user adds the line (just 1 word) SilentExit the Exit dialog won't appear when no client is connected. Of course, this is off by default not to confuse users. The single word preference is the easiest to implement with lexer and parser, but you might want to change it to more readable ones such as SilentExit = yes before the release. Takuma Murakami

Which bug? The error messages or at least a detailed error description

g++ -mno-cygwin -I/usr/X11R6/include -c main.c
g++ -mno-cygwin -o a.exe main.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11-6.dll
In fact, I have a Java Main which call a library that contains the
source of a X application in C++. That why I use -mno-cygwin but
when I use it, XopenDisplay doesn't work well... All is OK without the
-mno-cygwin flags during the compilation.
Cygwin/X relies on cygwin. I doubt you can compile your app without
the cygwin support.

(The paste menu option is NOT greyed out at this point). I'd really appreciate some feedback on the new fix in XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-63, which should be hitting mirrors within a few hours. Yes, I can reproduce the hang with 4.3.0-50 (actually, I used xemacs not xterm) but it does not hang in 4.3.0-63. After I drop the X selection it is no longer in the Windows clipboard, so that I cannot paste into Notepad. Thank you. It is good to know that this is confirmed as fixed for the time being. I don't know if this is consistent with cut and paste on a native X desktop, but it is a massive improvement over hanging. Thanks! I'm willing to be it is consistent. We monitor the PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections... most apps set one or the other. We still advertise to Win32 that we have data to paste if either PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD is owned by an X application other than the clipboard integration manager. The problem before was that we didn't stop advertising data to paste when both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD were not owned by valid X applications; the reason for this is that the clipboard manager looked like a valid X app and it owned at least one of PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD still, so we kept advertising data to paste. The failure mode for this was inconsistent: the first time seemed to grab data from the X application that used to own the selection while the second time might have tried grabbing data from the clipboard manager for the clipboard manager to paste, which lead to a deadlock. Simple test case: don't use -clipboard, select some text in a xterm, unselect it, then right-click in another xterm... I don't think you'll see any text pasted unless there is a clipboard manager of some sort running (i.e. don't do this in Xdmcp). Harold

Documentaiton of .XWinrc?

Does Hydravision expose two separate displays in the Display control
panel, Advanced tab (i.e. numbered 1 and 2 in the dialog)? If so,
what is the orientation of these displays? relative to the one
you have defined as the main screen (use this device as
primary monitor)? Can you click-and-drag both displays and report
the (x,y) coordinate of each one's upper-left corner (shows in
a balloon help window when you draw a monitor in the dialog)?
And are the X/Y pixel dimension of each monitor the same?
It looks like what's going on is the X/Y dimensions of the X root
window aren't matching the X/Y dimensions of the Win32 desktop for
some reason. The same thing happens if you use multiwindow
w/o the multiplemonitors option on a 2- or 3-head box...

Re: uxterm from xterm-185-3 and xfontsel crashing when running under cygserver support
Corinna == Corinna Vinschen writes: Corinna I've build my own debug version of the X stuff today and I tracked the Corinna SEGV down. It's an unfortunate combination of two bugs in the SHM Corinna implementation: Corinna - shmat() returns NULL on error instead of (void *)-1. Corinna - shmat() only operates on shared memory segments of which the shmid Corinna has been retrieved using shmget() by the application itself. I was Corinna absolutely sure that only the key argument to shmget() is a valid Corinna interprocess exchange value for identifying shared memory segments. Corinna I wasn't aware that the shmid itself could be exchanged. Corinna For today, I only fixed the first bug. This fixes the SEGV in uxterm Corinna and friends, but a fix for the second bug is necessary to get a working Corinna Bigfont extension. I hope to get this done next week.

Re: test case for clipboard hang?
Well, I've kicked the -63 server around a fair bit this weekend and it seems to be holding up very well. No crashes, and generally no unpleasant surprises. I have still managed to activate the 2 second timeout code, though, by doing some pathological things, that are probably impossible to work around due to the incompatibilities between the X and Windows conceptions of the clipboard. Harold: In winClipboardFlushXEvents, I think the line: iReturn = XChangeProperty (pDisplay, event.xselectionrequest.requestor, event.xselectionrequest.property, event.xselectionrequest.target, 8, PropModeReplace, (char *) atomTargetArr, sizeof (atomTargetArr)); should have 32 instead of 8. Also, re the following, changelog, can you tell me where to find the changes. I see no calls to XSync or select at http://pdx.freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/winclipboardxevents.c?rev=1.1.4.1.2.15root=xorgonly_with_tag=CYGWINview=auto and I'd like to see the code that does this. Release 4.3.0-61 Released: 2004-03-25 0055 EST Download source: Now available as src package via setup.exe Changes: winclipboardwndproc.c, winclipboardxevents.c - Attempt to fix clipboard deadlock that was causing hangs. The nature of the fix was to stop calling XPeekIfEvent since it will block until the specified type of event is seen. Instead, we call XSync to flush output events and wait for them to be processed, then we do our own little loop with a call to select() using a timeout of 3 seconds from when we started (the timeout is adjusted after each call to select()). This should alleviate problems with XPeekIfEvent not returning. Finally, since we can detect whether the SelectionNotify event has arrived now, I added code to paste NULL to the Win32 clipboard if the X11 application never returns any useful clipboard data; this should prevent Win32 applications from freezing when there are problems pasting from X11 to Win32.

RE: Aspell - Ispell
I would support this for another reason: ispell is integrated with the various emacsen and gives my such features as flyspell (on-the-fly spell check). I just did a clean reinstall of Cygwin and spent a while tracking down the latest ispell release - it would be som much better if it was a Cygwin module. Or is it possible to use aspell within emacs? I can't find any documentation to say yes or no to this. It should be relatively easy to write a very simple script called ispell which calls 'aspell -a $@' I think that works at least... can't say I've tried it.

Re: Postgres Backend doesn't catch the next command, after SIGUSR2
! The explanation is spotted in net.cc !
in wsock_event::wait()
case WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0 + 1:
if (!CancelIo ((HANDLE) socket))
{
debug_printf (CancelIo() %E, fallback to
blocking io);
WSAGetOverlappedResult (socket, ovr, len, TRUE,
flags);
}
else
WSASetLastError (WSAEINTR);
break;
Most of the time, when signal_arrived is raised,
there is nothing but the EINTR code to set, and
the backend loops in recv() to receive the next
command.
But the race conditions may be different, and
the command is available at the same time the
signal is detected.
So the CancelIo() call discards the command.
When the backend returns in recv(), the command
is lost, and the sender waits for an answer
- deadlock
Why this CancelIo() ??
It seems too intrusive.
Additional note:
DWORD len;
is present in case WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0
but is missing in case WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0 + 1

If I run a test script enough time, it eventually

The client sends a command to a backend and waits

What happens in the loop is:
SIInsertDataEntry: table is 70% full,
signaling postmaster
In reaction, the postmaster sends to its children:
SignalChildren: sending signal 31 to process pid
Most of the time, it works. But at an unpredictable
iteration, it freezes.
This problem appeared first in a replication
machinery, so I reduced the number of components
involved, to get a simpler test case:
A pgtcl script, running a loop with:
create table from another-table
copy table to file
drop table
The 'create table' regularly fires the '70% full'
event, and at some point, the 'copy' never gets
answered.

Re: cygheap problems, also on version 1.5.9 (was Re: cygheap problems, 20040326 snapshot)
I'm having similar problems with release 1.5.9. I thought that if I
posted more information it might help to pin down the problem.
I have just done a complete clean reinstall of Cygwin (i.e. deleted the
directory and registry settings first) using the net installer and
therefore using the 'official' releases of all packages. The
cygcheck.out fiile is attached if you need to know more. I'm running
under XP (you're always 'under' Windoze) with all the latest patches and
updates. So, the buggy version then.
Consider the following sequence typed in under the DOS shell:
--
H:\Documents and Settings\Andybash --login -c XWin
4 [main] ? 476 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap (0x616E 0x7E) in child, Win32 error 487
H:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe (476): *** m.AllocationBase 0x0,
m.BaseAddress 0x616E, m.RegionSize 0x1AA, m.State 0x1
H:\Documents and Settings\Andybash --login
$ XWin
--
The latter command worked fine.
I've tried running 'rebaseall' and it made no difference. Mind you,
should it do anything on a completely fresh build?
The really odd thing is that I have another PC at home with the same
version of XP, same update status and as far as I can tell, the same
install of Cygwin and I have no problems.

It seems too intrusive.
When WSAWaitForMultipleEvents returns WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0 + 1, you can be
sure that the event hasn't happen at this point. Otherwise it would
have returned WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0. Unfortunately this doesn't mean that
the event couldn't happen a nanosecond later.
If the signal has arrived and the WSARecvFrom call should be interrupted,
you can't just go ahead, since the call to WSARecvFrom got a pointer
to application allocated memory. You can't rely on the fact that the
application will keep this memory intact after recvfrom returned with
EINTR. If you do, Windows might scramble application memory. To avoid
that, the CancelIo cancels the active call.
Having said that, does the below change at least alleviates the problem?
The implementation would have to be changed a bit more to get this
entirely non-racy, though.
Additional note:
DWORD len;
is present in case WSA_WAIT_EVENT_0

On Sat, 2004-03-27 at 01:12, Igor Pechtchanski wrote: Since we're throwing wild ideas into the air, how about this one: once libsetup is available (the extract of setup's essential functionality minus the GUI), one could come up with a register-program-with-setup command-line utility that could be called from the make install rule. Of course, this would require the modification of the original sources, and is completely alien to the way Linux does things, but it could be borderline useful for some select applications (e.g., Cygwin projects distributed separately, like KDE or CyGnome). I suspect setup's functionality might need to be modified to also invoke a specified uninstall program, although preremove scripts *could* concievably be used for this (but *very* carefully, since they're run at a brittle point in the uninstall process). Alternatively, the preremove functionality could be revamped to run preremove scripts in reverse dependency order before actually removing any files (this one's just for the archives).

The application doesn't have to know about ssh. ssh just has to be told which IP ports to forward. For example: ssh -L 515:127.0.0.1:515 myhost Tells ssh to start a session with myhost and forward IP port 515 to the same port on myhost. I would assume the same thing can be done for TightVNC using whatever ports it requires.

I see /usr/bin/zsh.exe being turned into a real file, during install, not a symlink, and /usr/bin/zsh has always been a symlink, since day one, and I've not seen any problems reported to this effect. I think zzapper's problem may be because setup didn't remove everthing first or perhaps he installed zsh through some other mechanism? What's weird is the fact that running zsh showed version 4.1.1. Even with the symlink this should not have happened. I assume running zsh-4.2.0 would show version 4.2.0, right? It would be interesting to see if you have other copies of zsh in your PATH, which you can find out by running /bin/which -a zsh. You can also type echo $ZSH_VERSION to get your current shell's version. Oh, and btw, it does report 4.2.0 for me on all systems I've tested on. Igor -- Peter A.

I see /usr/bin/zsh.exe being turned into a real file, during install, not a symlink, and /usr/bin/zsh has always been a symlink, since day one, and I've not seen any problems reported to this effect. I think zzapper's problem may be because setup didn't remove everthing first or perhaps he installed zsh through some other mechanism? What's weird is the fact that running zsh showed version 4.1.1. Even with the symlink this should not have happened. I assume running zsh-4.2.0 would show version 4.2.0, right? It would be interesting to see if you have other copies of zsh in your PATH, which you can find out by running /bin/which -a zsh. You can also type echo $ZSH_VERSION to get your current shell's version. Oh, and btw, it does report 4.2.0 for me on all systems I've tested on. Igor -- Peter A.

Re: problems compiling/linking c++ sources

timezone irregularity when Windows TZ is set to Indiana
If I have a Windows PC with the timezone set to (GMT-05:00)Indiana(East), date +%Z returns the timezone as USEST. Is this designed or broken behavior? If I set TZ to USEST date returns a GMT time. I've noticed that there is no zoneinfo package, but if I copy /usr/share/zoneinfo from a RHL system, and set the TZ env variable to 'America/Indianapolis' I get back EST as the timezone. Where does the USEST come from? Is that a Windows-ism or something in Cygwin? I'm using cygwin 1.5.7-1 on Windows XP SP 1 with all updates supplied.

I'd be happier if I were not correct, but I'd like to read some documentation proving me wrong to confirm it. I was thinking of the Unix version, which can be integrated with SSH to do encrypted port tunneling by default. The Windows server is weaker in this respect and requires a lot more hand-holding. There, compile the Unix version of the server under Cygwin and we are on-topic again. :-) As Ross Boulet has pointed out, encrypted port forwarding is a feature of SSH and can be used to create tunnels for any other TCP/IP protocol; or you could create a SSL tunnel with stunnel. What makes TightVNC suitable for tunneling over an encrypted channel is its data compression protocol (JPEG), which is much better than the one used by SSH (zlib). -- Alejandro López-Valencia http://dradul.tripod.com/ [...] every educated man is a theologian, and he doesn't need faith to be one.

Re: popups upon library errors.
On Fri, Mar 26, 2004 at 10:12:05AM +0100, Corinna Vinschen wrote: Off the top of my head I would say, that's a problem in your environment. When the configury tests for existing libraries, it typically does that by trying to build a test application which uses a function from that lib. A library might consist of up to three files, a static lib, an import library for dynamic linking, and a DLL. By default, ld tries to link against the import library, so that the resulting application would use the DLL when started. On your system, the DLL is missing (or missing in $PATH, that's basically the same) but for some reason the import library exists. Linking the test application therefore succeeds, but the resulting application can't run, obviously. So, to rectify this problem, you should remove the import library from your system. yes, I realize that it is a problem with my environment - what I'm suggesting is that no popups be created in response to the problem. That a text error is generated. This would vastly increase the robustness of the cygwin environment - I simply cannot afford to have an interactive error come up during a batch process, and hang there. It is not a question of specifics, its a question of how to deal with a generic problem. It reminds me of those popup errors you sometimes see at airports when windows crashes on one of the terminals - what the hell good are they? people who support these apps have to ping the app with another app to make sure it is up. But of course this brings up the issue of pinging the app which pings the app, and so one. Anyways, to reproduce, the first one (wrt tar) had to do with permissions. If the permissions on a dll are wrong, then I get a popup error #22.. I believe the same thing happens with a generic gcc-3.3.1 install. The second one happens with an install of gettext. To reproduce, simply unpackage, patch, and run 'configure' on a standard out of the box install of cygwin. configure will pause halfway through.
