Re: What's the problem with find?
Sorry, I just wanna know why I used 'find' several days before and it worked fine (without any error message). After something unclear happened, cygdrive appear to my root. And I don't know if it is related, find any file from the root up always encounter the error of saying find: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator: No such file or directory and then it stops searching. If this message bothered you I would say I am very sorry for that. That's the reason I attached my cygcheck for reference. But since then I haven't got any message that really work for me. And, no one had told me anything I can do or any further information I shall provide to make this "misleading" behavior to be clarified. However, I don't know if this thread is still under surveillance and I still want to make myself clear. Anyway, thank you for reading my message. - Original Message - > At 06:09 PM 5/7/2004, you wrote: > >Maybe I shall rephrase this. > >If 'find' command keep looking for files in cygdrive it will always screw up when > >it encounter directories that it doesn't have > >access. > > > >- Original Message - > >> If 'find' command keep looking for files in cygdrive it will always screw up when > >> it encounter directories with space in it. > >> :-( > >> > >> Alvyn > > > Your phrasing is still a bit off.

Then your gripe is with the GPL. The point is, whether you agree with all the tenants of the license or not, you cannot selectively apply it based on your own interpretation or preferences. Doing so renders the license unenforceable for every situation, because the license doesn't discriminate. That's why people on this list make the efforts they do to make sure everyone complies. We choose to honor the license as it was written since that's the only way the license is valid. Some might find the realities of this to be "mean" but that's not the intent really, FWIW. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

RE: How to install info files?
> When try "info gdb", I get an error message "info: dir: No such file or > directory". > GDB is installed on my machine. How I can install the info file? I have also suffered from this issue on a new install. I am not an expert but since no one has responded maybe my solution will help. I modified the /etc/profile file. I will give you the original line commented out and the new line. #INFOPATH="/usr/local/info:/usr/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/autotool/devel/info:/usr/autotool/stable/info:$INFOPATH" INFOPATH="/usr/share/info" export INFOPATH Older places that I have installed cygwin did not have these lines at all, and interestingly didn't have the INFOPATH env variable set but info still works. My new install did need the INFOPATH env variable set. I tried many variations on this variable. For example even tried INFOPATH="/usr/share/info:$INFOPATH" And the extra colon in the var caused it to fail. I am thinking that if there is any path without the "dir" file it will cause problems. I had dir files in /usr/share/info and /usr/local/info but the file in /usr/local/info was empty (zero bytes). Maybe if there is a real problem this will help someone track it down.

Using Setup.exe to uninstall - bogus
If there exists a sensible method for trimming the bulk of an existing Cygwin installation on a running disk-limited REMOTE system accessible only via ssh, I'd love to know it. I've completely lost patience. On a remote system, I've been trying to uninstall large chunks of Cygwin (x, db). Using Setup.exe to do this is like playing Whack-a-Mole, and is extremely frustrating. The "Keep | Reinstall | Source | Version1 | Version2...| Uninstall" click-to-rotate control forces dependancies both far and near while I'm trying to _reach_ Uninstall. Uninstall LEAVES THOSE DEPENDANCIES ACTIVATED. Without a way to select Uninstall without clocking through all the other dependancy activators, it's impossible to remove features and all their dependancies stickily. In fact, the very process of trying to do this piece by piece has resulted in masses of other crap being installed which I don't need. It's rather disturbing, as I'm running out of space on the remote system.

That's not a problem for me. What I'm trying to get YOU to grasp - is how
those first time visitors (readers or whatever) get offended by your "WJM"
attitude.
IMO this attitude has a negative influence on how well you promote cygwin.
But then, that might not have any influence on your well beeing.
"Go figger."
IMO you're a strange fellow. ;-)

gethostname is thread-safe?
i'm using gethostname in a multithreaded code ando sometimes i get error. i
think it's not a bug of my code (and i post it) because it does not happed
always, but sometimes.
maybe gethostname() thread-unsafe?
the code:
in_addr_t get_my_IP()
{
char name[255]; //store my hostname (hostname are limited to 255chars)
struct hostent * hostent_ptr = NULL;
in_addr_t iserror = 0;
int ret;
ret = gethostname (name, 255);
if(ret == -1) {
printf ("ERROR gethostname() failed, Errno=%d \nDescription: %s\n", errno,
strerror(errno));
iserror = 1;
}
hostent_ptr = gethostbyname(name);
if(hostent_ptr == NULL)
{
printf ("ERROR gethostbyname() failed, h_errno=%d \nDescription: %s\n",
h_errno, hstrerror(h_errno));
iserror = 1;
}
if (iserror == 0) {
//h_addr_list contains IPs of this host in network byte order
return ((struct in_addr *)hostent_ptr->h_addr_list[0])->s_addr;
//get the first IP.
} else { // use getsockname() technique
return get_my_ip_getsockname();
}
}
in_addr_t get_my_ip_getsockname()
{
int socketfd;
struct sockaddr_in local;
socklen_t socklen;
int ret;
/* get a datagram socket (UDP)) */
socketfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
if (socketfd == -1) {
printf("ERROR socket() failed, Errno= %d\nDescription: %s\n",errno,
strerror(errno));
return 0;
}
memset(&local, 0, sizeof(local));
socklen = sizeof(local);
ret = getsockname(socketfd, (struct sockaddr *)&local, &socklen);
if (ret == -1) {
printf("ERROR getsockname() failed, Errno=%d\nDescription: %s\n",
errno, strerror(errno));
return 0;
}
close(socketfd);
return local.sin_addr.s_addr;
}
THE ERROR IS:
ERROR gethostbyname() failed, h_errno=-1

The next section should have followed the output, and been clearly marked as a WAG (as that's exactly what it is).

This is a red herring. The following works just fine: sh -c "! false && echo 'hey!'" # prints "hey!" sh -c "! true || echo 'hey!'" # prints "hey!" The problem is not that '!' is not recognized by the shell (it is), but that "sh" interprets "! a | b" differently than "bash". In "sh", the pipe takes priority over the negation, whereas in bash it doesn't. Also, "sh" treats '!' as just a modifier for a spawned command, but in bash, it's treated specially. So, for this to work in "sh" (but not in "bash", incidentally), this needs to be if /bin/mount -m | ! /bin/grep -q ' -s .*"/"'; then ... For this to work in both "sh" and "bash", unambiguously, a subshell needs to be spawned, either by if !

RE: GPL violation ?
Though IANAL, I would suggest that the "exchange of something of value" is the ability to have one's code included in in cygwin as distributed via setup. (Thus, the thing of value is a service, not an object.) One might reasonably suppose that the contributor wants cygwin to have the functionality that s/he is contributing. In this analysis, what one gives (the code) is commensurate in scope with what gets (the inclusion of the code). And even if one is contributing functionality that one will not oneself use, arguably the psychological rewards and practical benefits of having code included in the standard release, as opposed to a private build, to compensate for the transfer of copyright on the code. -Original Message- From: Dave Korn Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 1:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: GPL violation ? > -Original Message- > From: cygwin-owner On Behalf Of Christopher Faylor > Sent: 06 May 2004 16:56 > On Wed, May 05, 2004 at 07:08:59PM +0100, Vince Hoffman wrote: > >This comes up on here every now and then and if i didnt > think it was a > >possible issue i wouldnt have brought it up. Mind you IANAL http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#YANALATEYHSMBSI :) lol! However, the real point I wanted to mention is that http://cygwin.com/assign.txt seems almost certain to be invalid under UK law, and quite possibly under US law too. You can't have a contract without an exchange of something of value. Hence the line about "For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which I acknowledge". But *what* consideration? AFAICS, since nobody's ever been paid so much as a wooden nickel for their cygwin contributions, every claim to have been in receipt of such consideration is false, and so every single one of the supposed contracts is currently in breach and therefore none of the assignments are valid. I'm slightly alarmed to notice this and wonder what the RH legal team have to say about it? I think the RH lawyers may need to spend some time sending people peppercorns through the post, along with a letter apologising for the late payment!

126
stipe's postinstall.sh has a wrong rebase syntax, the required -b
parameter is missing.
so before you run /etc/postinstall/apache-php.sh you have to fix it.
The commented line above is fine, but I removed postgres (pq.dll), since
I don't need that.
my postinstall script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
module=php4
module_dll=libphp4.dll
prefix=/usr
confdir=/etc
libdir=${prefix}/lib/apache
cd ${libdir}/new
if test -f ${module_dll}; then
${prefix}/sbin/apxs -i -a -n ${module} ${module_dll}
fi
rm -f ${libdir}/new/${module_dll}
# removed: ${prefix}/bin/pq.dll
# probably have to add: cygcrypt-0.dll and /usr/bin/cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll
rebase_dlls="${libdir}/${module_dll} /usr/bin/cygcrypto.dll
/usr/bin/cygbz21.0.dll /usr/bin/cygintl-1.dll /usr/bin/cygxml2-2.dll
/usr/bin/cygz.dll /usr/bin/cyggdbm.dll"

$ cygcheck /usr/sbin/httpd.exe

0x7000
$ pg_ctl stop
# if you keep postgres, you have to shut it down, otherwise you cannot
rebase it.

And now we are at the same position as stipe. Looks like we have to
recompile httpd without cygcrypt-0

Other than that, practically nobody of us IAL and I'm in contact with our legal department about the Cygwin copyright assignment. Let them do their job, we just care for the code, ok?

Bugs in nfs-server package. Att: package maintainers.
Hi, I'm writing to report two bugs in the nfs-server package. By my reading of the Cygwin docs, posting to this list is the correct procedure, so forgive me if that's not the case. I have checked the mailing list archives and only seen an obtuse reference to problem (1) and a brief mention of problem (2) as something that fixes itself. In my experience, and by examination of the current version of the script, I would say that is unlikely. The problems: (1) The sunrpc package should be listed as a dependency of nfs-server. (2) nfs-server-config incorrectly complains about my mount configuration. A transcript of output follows. The reason for the error is that the script is written as a Bourne shell script (/bin/sh) but the following line: if ! /bin/mount -m | /bin/grep -q ' -s .*"/"'; then is Bash/Ksh syntax (the Bourne shell doesn't like "if !"). Switching over to Bash would fix that nicely. Installing portmap as 'Cygwin portmap' Installing mountd as 'Cygwin mountd' Installing nfsd as 'Cygwin nfsd' mount(1) command did not return SYSTEM mount(s). It looks like you have installed Cygwin for a single user. Cygwin mount points will not be available to programs installed as Windows services. This will keep portmap, mountd, and nfsd from running as Windows services. In order for portmap, mountd and nfsd to function properly, you should establish global mount points using the /bin/mount utility. You can change user-specific Cygwin mount points to global mount points using the following command: eval mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"; mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"; mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"; mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin" "/"; mount -f -s -b "c:/home" "/home"; mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/mnt"; You current mount -m listing is: mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin" mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib" mount -f -s -b "C:/apps/cygwin" "/" mount -f -s -b "c:/home" "/home" mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/mnt" Regards, David -- 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/
