OK, I'm making progress with getting XFCE to compile under cygwin (with 
help of one of the XFCE developers), but now we're running into the 
following:

XFCE has a plugin mechanism, based on shared libraries. These plugins 
use functions/symbols from the program that they 'plug in to'. I.e. if I 
have appA, and libB is a plugin for appA, then libB contains calls that 
are defined in appA.

How do I get this to work under cygwin? Obviously I can't link libB 
against appA!
Done this, been there. And it's all possible.. =)

You can use DLLTOOL to produce .def files from .exe if needed so you
don't have to do them by hand. But in most cases you just need few funcs
or variables it's simpler to write .def by hand.

Re: Options for Source Code Control: RCS v. SCCS v. CVS

Not surprisingly. RCS doesn't model what any modern revision control

For single developers (and esp. single file versioning) it's still 
perfect. KISS-style (http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/acadwiki/KissStyle).

CVS is just a layer on top of RCS, having to maintain special CVS and 
cvsroot directories. RCS has everything it needs in the ,v ("versioned") 
files. Better is of course a decent filesystem which does versioning 
automatically. LispOS comes to my mind.

If so, (1) how do I start the service or deamon for
RCS?
 (2) does RCS lock out other programmers while one 
works on a file or is RCS like CVS and everyone merges
their differences later?
RCS locks out everyone per file. One of CVS's big advances was the
ability to modify a file without locking everyone out.
rcs -U changes to option to unlocked by default per file. That's what I 
use everyday. I still maintain a bunge of my private filesets with rcs.

In the last 10 years I moved some projects to CVS but always came back 
to the simpliest form, RCS. You can easily interchange the ,v files from 
RCS to CVS forth and back. For CVS you have to move them to a cvsroot 
directory tree. For RCS you keep them together with your project.

I personally use arch - its offline work mode, built in distributed
operation & mirroring support make it a dream to use. It versions more
aspects of project trees than any other RCS I've encountered - it even
supports file modes, and symlinks.
True. arch is much better and btw. IMHO much more stable and mature than 
subversion.
BTW: "Magically" changing file modes and symlinks violates kiss-style. 
Once you are used to it, ok. But when you have to think 10 minutes 
before every simpliest action it's getting hard. This cannot happen with 
RCS (and CVS also).

processor at 100%

[Shawn Henderson]

when I reboot my pc my processor is at 100% the task manager reveals 
that cygserv and the sshd is the culprit. After ending the processes 
this drops the processor back to its normal levels. What is strange is 
that I can still use these processes afterwords like normal but it does 
not max out the processor until the next time I reboot. I have a xp

There is no such program as "cygserv".  I presume you mean "cygrunsrv".
Also, which of the two processes consumes 100% of the CPU?  Or do they
each consume 50% (or some other numbers that add up to 100%)?

> After ending the processes this drops the processor back to its normal

How do you end the processes?  If you used "kill", did you try to simply
stop the service (via "cygrunsrv -E sshd" or "net stop sshd") instead?

> What is strange is that I can still use these processes afterwords like

Huh?  Do you mean you can restart the service afterwards?

Well, you could attach to the process consuming the most CPU with strace
(for a bit) and see what that shows...  It doesn't look like this is
something others can reproduce, so you'll have to do a bit of debugging on
your system.

FWIW, as a workaround, you can change the startup type of the sshd service
to "manual", and start it yourself (with "cygrunsrv -S sshd" or "net start
sshd") whenever you need it.

How to run debugger?

[Richard Heintze]

Ah hah! Write a short program called test.c and gcc -g
test.c -o test.exe and ddd test.exe and then I see

Error: can't open display:

  Why does this not work?

So I download the insight debugger and tried
/cygdrive/c/dev/insight/bin/gdb.exe test.exe

This gives the error
stat "/cygdrive/c/tmp/test.c" no such file or
directory
  while executing

Well that is not true, the file is there! I tried
chmod 777 test.c but that did not help. The debugger
works, it just cannot load test.c for some reason!

Anyone know why?

Re: Where is the gnu/cygwin GUI Source code debugger?

[Richard Heintze]

What is the command to run the GUI GNU debugger? when
I type gdb test.exe I get the old command line
interface. How do I get the GUI? I have done a
(nearly) complete installation of cygwin. I only
omitted emacs, and perl and xemacs.

I explicitly downloaded insight seperately and had
troubles with that too, see my earler post. (gdb.exe
started the GUI interface, but it could not load the
source code file -- something to do with stat failing.
chmod 777 test.c did not help).

I'll second that.  Though the change has been in a while, it's one I've

Since this was one of the most regularly requested features, its addition

This one's easy. It's almost certainly looking for a running X server, of which there 
almost certainly isn't one.
I suggest you install the X.org packages, and then start XWin.exe .. (It's worth 
reading the documentation to decide how you want to start it, but I found that 
XWin.exe -multiwindow -emulate3buttons was useful (I use emu3buttons because the 
laptop I use it on only has 2 :( )

Just ensure that is the correct path to the file? I would be surprised if it was 
/cygdrive/c/tmp ... More likely is /cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/test.c .
Does that work?

Apologies for not mentioning this with the original post, but this is not
something that just started happening but has been happening since moving
from 1.5.9 to 1.5.10, it happens while re-building a gcc cross compiler and
I have only just got round to tracking it down.

Well, if you're using outlook/outlook express, there's a program called 
Outlook-quotefix or OE-quotefix, depending on which you're using. They latch into 
outlook/oe to provide this functionality.
Don't know if thunderbird or moz mail do it or not.

I don't think that Mozilla Thunderbird supports this.  Gmail doesn't
either as someone mentioned this but I am trying to get them to add
this kind of functionality.

OK.

It's not really.  Cygwin mounts /bin as /usr/bin.  See
the output of 'mount' for clarification.

I'm not sure that I see the significance of this
realization as part of the solution to your problem
though.

The GPL doesn't really care why you are releasing the software.  If you
provide the cygwin*-src.tar.bz2 archive you should be fine.

OK.  I've seen similar peculiarities after installing but then not rebooting
when required (I know, shame on me ;-) ).  

Hm, I don't have lots of great ideas for you to help resolve this problem 
you're seeing.  Not that I expect this to show anything useful but you could
see if the permissions returned by getfacl look suspect.  strace on the 
offending instance might help too.  Otherwise, I can only suggest building 
the DLL and trying to debug through it.  Sorry I don't have any better/
quicker ideas for you.

Perhaps, perhaps not.  I'm still waiting for somebody, other than you

proposed that did in fact ask for some tit-for-tat action).

clear from the complete lack of demands or implications of demands contained

Ok, it can be configured to do what's mentioned in the acronym dealy, but it
will always say something like:

"Cygwin Owner wrote on Wednesday, Smarch 25"

Re: PCYMTNQREAIYR Please Configure Your Mailer To Not Quote Raw E-mail Addresses In Your Replies.

[Larry Hall]

Lots of email clients do this automatically.  Personally, I know that 
Thunderbird supports it.  I believe Mozilla Mail does as well, though 
neither of these have this option configurable in the default GUI (get the
"Preferential" extension).  Eudora allows you to do this too.  Though
it will quote the email address if the name of the person isn't 
available. :-(  The only solution I've found for this is to always 
use something generic like "you".  There are plenty of email clients
out there that will do this automatically for you though.

I'm not sure what you're looking to get from someone responding to your
inquiry but from my perspective, based on what you've said, this just 
prolongs a thread that has drifted beyond the scope of the original 
inquiry and no longer serves a constructive purpose.  If you can succinctly
point to one, then perhaps it's still worthwhile to continue this thread.
Otherwise, let's just let it die and move on.  I think all relevant points
have been made already.

OK, you should visit, read, and follow 
then.  What you're describing doesn't make much sense so we'll need more 
details to figure out what's going wrong on your end.

Re: Where is libxml2.dll?

[Richard Heintze]

What I meant to say was:

What is the difference between /usr/local/bin and
/usr/bin? Why are there two directories? It probably
has something to do with unix compatibility.

  Thanks,

/usr/local is reserved for stuff local to a particular machine, 
while /usr is commonly installed software, sometimes even from 
a network source.  But keep in mind that Cygwin doesn't use /usr/local
in it's packages.  On the other hand, 'nd.exe' isn't in any current 
Cygwin package so it's clearly not required to conform to Cygwin 
packaging guidelines.  As such though, discussion of it's 
packaging or really any sort of problems with it is off-topic for
this list.  But I hope that answers your basic questions about 
using it from emacs.

How to run ddd in XWin?

[Siegfried Heintze]

OK, I apparently already have that installed. I typed "info XWin" and
learned about the options. Nothing terribly relevant to ddd here -- did I
miss something.

OK, I type XWin& and "ddd test.exe" and same error. Any other ideas?
 Test.exe is compiled with the "-g" option in g77.

I also tried ddd convex.pl and still got the same error. Ddd debugs perl
too, correct?


Thanks,
Siegfried

This one's easy. It's almost certainly looking for a running X server, 
of which there almost certainly isn't one.
I suggest you install the X.org packages, and then start XWin.exe .. 
(It's worth reading the documentation to decide how you want to start it, 
but I found that XWin.exe -multiwindow -emulate3buttons was useful (I 
use emu3buttons because the laptop I use it on only has 2 :( )

Just ensure that is the correct path to the file? I would be surprised 
if it was /cygdrive/c/tmp ... More likely is 
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/test.c .
Does that work?

This should be done server side, by the mailing list

lists, you will know that they do this automatically. 
Much better than requesting each person to do it

Re: Building DLL

[boekhold]

Hi all,

I've been trying the suggestions mentioned on this list:

1. Create an import library
echo EXPORTS > foo.def
nm foo.exe | grep ' T _' | sed 's/.* T _//' >> foo.def
dlltool --def foo.def --dllname foo.exe --output-lib foo.a

I couldn't get this to work. In the executable I am trying to load the
library using g_module_open (from glib2.0), which fails no matter what I
specify for the library name.

2. use __attribute__ ((__dllexport__)) / __attribute__ ((__dllimport__))

compiled with:
> gcc -shared -o my_dll.dll dll.def dll.c
> gcc -o my_exe.exe exe.c  my_dll.dll

Following the suggestions from Danny Smith, I *do* manage to get this
working. However, I'm a little hazy about how to use this method within 
XFCE.

The above compile command creates a my_dll.dll, and g_module_open
manages to open this library. However, XFCE uses libtool for
compiling/linking, and this creates a 'cygmy_dll.dll' in addition to
libmy_dll.dll.a and libmy_dll.la.

In short, I'm not sure how I can integrate this method with all the
automake/libtool stuff.

Does anybody have an example of how to use this method together with
automake/libtool?

Kind regards,

Maarten

He should've used "man rcsintro", which would've given

You can always tag the releases for the package.

Most of the "modern" version control systems are so
arcane that almost all the organizations using them
have a dedicated engineer to manage it.

access to event log of windows

[Oliver Geisen]

Hello,
is there a way to read/write from/to the event log of windows ?
I think it would be a great thing to have event-logs in a UNIX-style 
underneath /var/log/...
Mayby one can make a interface-file where events are mapped into 
log-files, like Unix does with /etc/syslog.conf.

Or is there already a SYSLOG implementation for cygwin ?
Thanks,
