syslog and vsyslog are implemented in Cygwin.  On NT they use the
event log system.

RE: access to event log of windows

Corinna,

thanks for this useful information. Is there a comparable command line utility
to inspect the event log(s)? I know of psloglist and dumpel, but I really want
to stick with cygwin tools. Any possibility?

I have tracked this further and can now confirm that running the following
test case (trimmed down from what cp is actually doing) in a directory which
already contains a valid test.exe (copy of ls.exe) results in test.exe which
is a directory not a file.

#include 
#include 

int main (int argc, char * argv[])
{
int test_file;
test_file = open ("test.exe",O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY);
close (test_file);
return 0;
}

I have attached the results of stracing this in case it helps.

Before running the test program
ls
-rwxrwxrwx1 Administ None12248 Jul 12 11:56 test.exe
getfacl
# file: test.exe
# owner: Administrator
# group: None
user::rwx
group::rwx
mask:rwx
other:rwx

after running the test program

ls
drwxrwxrwx+   2 Administ None0 Jul 12 11:57 test.exe
getfacl
# file: test.exe
# owner: Administrator
# group: None
user::rwx

I'm sorry but I can't reproduce it.  I'm getting a truncated but
still normal file after calling this application.  I also don't see
anything strange in your strace output.  Looks pretty much like my
strace output, incuding all arguments to NtCreateFile.

I could, but it might end up putting more messages into the

Elvin,

This wasn't an arbitrary decision.  Both ways have been tried, and, in
general, it was not possible to reliably munge e-mail addresses (and
*only* e-mail addresses) in the archived messages.  This garbled the
message contents, and so was turned off.  The headers are still munged...

There might be a way to find and match just the reply lead-ins (e.g., "On
some date, John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:", or "Not so long ago, thus
spake John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"), which should catch most of the
"violations", but, as even the two above examples illustrate, the lead-ins
are varied enough that it's probably not possible.  If anyone feels it's a
hassle to double-check their e-mail software, but minds receiving the
'#PCYMTNQREAIYR' link, they should feel free to try fixing the munging
rules.  I'm sure the list maintainers will not mind providing the
necessary pointers to the code, and they may even be willing to
thoughtfully consider trying out the results :-).

You shouldn't have to download insight separately,
since it is part of the gdb package (as Arturus
Magi pointed out). As Chris Faylor pointed out,
use the command "insight" (assuming it is properly
installed).

Re: How to run ddd in XWin?

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Ok, you're now in the Cygwin/X territory.  Any questions about Cygwin/X

for this topic).  For your convenience, I've redirected this reply to that
list, and set the Reply-To: appropriately.  More below.

Nope.  Why should documentation for a generic X server, XWin, talk about a
particular X application, ddd?

> OK, I type XWin& and "ddd test.exe" and same error.

Which "same error"?  Be specific.  Is it the "can't open display" error?
You need to set the DISPLAY variable properly.  The default value for the
command line above should be ":0" (or ":0.0").  You can set the DISPLAY in
a bash console window, e.g., "export DISPLAY=:0", before invoking ddd.

DISPLAY is not set.  If you need further help with Cygwin/X, please ask on
the cygwin-xfree list.  Your other message was redirected there already.
This reply concerns insight.

Wrong.  You didn't need to download "insight" separately, it should have
been already installed in /usr/bin (since you apparently installed
everything).  The version that you've downloaded is likely not compiled
for Cygwin, and so won't understand Cygwin POSIX paths.  Just run
"/usr/bin/insight test.exe".

Apache httpd Accepts local connections but not Remote

[Siegfried Heintze]

Since you guys are so smart, responsive and generous with your time, I
thought I would try this one on you. I have posted this on the Apache HTTP
mailing list twice with no response.

I have the following in my httpd.conf file. WebDAV seems to be working from
my local network (when using IE 5/6) but I cannot log in from across the
public internet and use the webdav client in IE 5. I can view the web pages
on my site remotely, however. This means my firewall is letting me thru on
port 80. Port 80 is all webdav needs, correct?

(My colleague was having some success using the WebDAV client in Konquerer
on Linux for reading files but never figure out how to write files).

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?  Why cannot I use IE 5/6 to view
my files on my server (via webdav) from a remote client? It keeps prompting
me for a username and password and never grants me access. Below is a
fragment from my httpd.conf file.

I've been going nuts trying to figure this one out for two months or more!

No, you're not.  Try, for example, "ls /dev/null".  See the User's Guide:

/dev/std{in,out,err} are bash artifacts.  I'm guessing you're using
/bin/sh, which on Cygwin is not the same as /bin/bash (see
).  Either use bash, or use the
standard bourne shell syntax, e.g., <&0, >&1 and >&2.  See also
.

This doesn't look like Cygwin apache.  Sorry, you'll have to ask on a list

cygwin telnetd/xinetd and non-cygwin Python: no interaction

[W. Borgert]

Hi,

I managed to telnet into my XP box using cygwin xinetd, but if I run
Python (not the cygwin variant, but the stock www.python.org
installer) I get no interaction at all.  Running the same Python
variant in the cygwin bash without telnet session, there is no
problem.  Is this a known limitation?  Did I do something wrong?  Do
I have to tweak the CYGWIN variable?  Many thanks in advance!

Cheers, WB

  What's happened is that you've used reply to all, resulting in one copy
going directly to Joshua, and a second going to the list, which then
forwards it to Joshua, hence he sees two copies; one directly and one via
the list.  Check the To: lines in the headers you've sent with the last

I still have it on my back burner to do some kind of intelligent munging
of email.  I wrote a sample filter that sort of worked but it needed more
intelligence to be really useful.

Unfortunately real life has been stomping hard on me in the last few months
so I haven't gotten around to doing this.  I would love to not have to
keep telling people not to quote raw email addresses, though.

Great.  Lacking the information, I didn't want to make any statements
about your degree of interest in this, but in light of the above my
earlier sentense should probably say

"...the list maintainers will be grateful for any help in doing this, and
will probably want to try out suitably tested filters..."

If anyone volunteers to help, I'm assuming you'd be willing to provide the
sample filter as a basis, as well as the information on where to send
patches, etc.

A WAG: some Windows programs may require interaction with desktop, even
for non-graphical tasks.  Check out the "-i" flag to cygrunsrv, or the
"Allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox in the Windows service
properties dialog.

While the free software, collaborative philsophy is usually a good thing,
this really requires a few concentrated hours from me to hack on the
sourceware spam filters.  I wouldn't want to have someone else learn

Re: Building DLL

[Maarten Boekhold]

Hi all,
Sorry to keep going on about this, I really want to get this working.
I've made *some* progress in how to build "plugin libraries". I have 
attached my test case to this mail in case somebody is willing to have a 
look at it. Let me describe it first.

I did some reading on the libtool documentation, and according to that, 
libtool 1.5.6 has specific support for dlopen'ed libraries (which is 
what glib/gmodule uses under the hood if I'm not mistaken). The trick is 
an extra macro to your configure.ac (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN) and two 
additional flags to libtool: -module and -export-dynamic. Now, I'm not 
sure if that support is supposed to work on cygwin. But together with a 
"plugin.def" file that defines to the library that a symbol is exported 
by the executable, I can now get things to compile.

Caveat: I cannot get the 'plugin.def' file passed to the gcc command 
line when linking:

/bin/bash ./libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o libplugin.la -rpath 
/usr/local/lib -no-undefined -module plugin.def libplugin_la-plugin.lo 
-lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv
gcc -shared  .libs/libplugin_la-plugin.o  -L/usr/lib 
/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.dll.a /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.dll.a 
/usr/lib/libintl.dll.a /usr/lib/libiconv.dll.a  -o .libs/cygplugin-0.dll 
-Wl,--image-base=0x1000 -Wl,--out-implib,.libs/libplugin.dll.a

So instead I editted the generated 'libtool' (after running autogen.sh) 
and added it manually:

# Commands used to build and install a shared archive.
archive_cmds="\$CC -shared \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags -o 
\$output_objdir/\$soname \${wl}--image-base=0x1000 
\${wl}--out-implib,\$lib plugin.def"

Note the "plugin.def" at the end. Now 'make' succeeds. If anybody knows 
how I can pass the "plugin.def" to the GCC command line, I'd be very 
interested to know.

Run 'make install', and then:
/usr/local/bin/plugintest /usr/local/lib/libplugin.la
This now gives:
$ /usr/local/bin/plugintest.exe /usr/local/lib/libplugin.la
** ERROR **:  1627507512s not a valid Win32 application.
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)
Is this expected, and is there a way to fix this? Has anybody seen this 
before? (note: for people not familiar with gmodule, the g_module_open() 
function explicitly tests whether this is a libtool library, and if so 
retrieves the actual DLL name from the libplugin.la file).

Kind regards,
Maarten

I realize that.  That's why I said "the sample filter", not "the whole set
of filters".  In fact, I'm sure if anyone could simply provide you with a
(tested[*]) perl regular expression that would more or less reliably match
the reply lead-in strings, it would be an enormous help.  Just trying to
make your life a bit easier here. :-)
Igor
[*] A good testing strategy would be to grab the whole Cygwin mailing list
archives and run the RE on all the message bodies, then visually inspect
the resulting lines to make sure only the lead-ins are matched, and
compare this with a dumb RE that matches anything looking like an e-mail
address to see how many lead-ins were missed.  Ideally, the latter number
will be minimized.  Come to think of it, this doesn't even require any
knowledge of the sourceware SPAM filters...

Sure, that's true.  But it was Bobby McNulty that was complaining about
multiple copies and he was suggesting that the multiple copies were going
to the list.  That's not true and I can't explain why Bobby would be seeing
what he's seeing but the conclusion he drew from it is wrong.  Joshua made 
no such complaint.

As for how I reply, I always do it the same way.  Reply to all makes sure
it goes to the list and not just the original OP.  If the OP doesn't want a 
copy directed to him/her as well, some procmail filter or setting the 
reply-to to point to the list will take care of that.  I don't second-guess
what the OP implies he/she wants.

You probably got caught by my limited abilities to figure out how to 
configure Eudora to not quote email addresses in it's response.  I've
resorted to using "you" in all cases because Eudora will otherwise use 
the email address if a name doesn't also exist.  Unfortunately, this 
makes quoted text in my replies a little difficult to follow in a 
thread. :-(  I'm happy to hear from anyone who has a solution for Eudora
on this, though I plan eventually to move to a different email client
which, ideally, won't have this problem. ;-)

Interesting guess, but I did not manage to run xinetd as a service.
Is there a way to run xinetd with "desktop interaction", but not as
a service?  As I started xinetd manually I thought that interaction
with the desktop would be allowed and possible.  Thanks for any hint!

Cheers, WB

P.S. My attempt to run xinetd as a service:

$ cygrunsrv -I xinetd -i -p /usr/sbin/xinetd.exe
$ cygrunsrv -S xinetd
$ cygrunsrv -Q xinetd
Service xinetd exists
Type: Undefined type
Current State   : Stopped
Controls Accepted   :
$ 

If I start the service from the GUI it looks like it is started, but
some seconds later it is stopped again.  I would prefer to run xinetd
"manually" for now anyway.

RE: HOw to install emacs?

[Harig, Mark]

The Cygwin version of emacs is separate and distinct
from the GNU version of emacs that (also) runs on Windows.

The Cygwin version should, by default, be installed
in your Cygwin path and can be started from a Cygwin
shell prompt with the command "emacs".  It will run
in the Cygwin command window that you have started,
i.e., a "no-window" version, unless you have installed
the Cygwin distribution of the X Windows software.

The remote terminal is running through pseudo ttys which are implemented
using pipes.  There's a good chance that the native python implementation
doesn't interact interactively with the user if the stdio file descriptors
are connected to pipes.

This form should cover almost all the cases, and the

I suppose this was an issue a few years ago when

Lots of software doesn't give much control to the user
(especially the web based ones).  However, this would
easily be fixed as they are invariably in the
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> form.

It's not proprietary software.  It's a perl script, written by me.

  As it said just a few lines earlier, there are separate versions of
quotefix for each version of outlook.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=quotefix

Result 1:
OE-QuoteFix - [ Translate this page ]
Add-on that modifies message composition windows on-the-fly to allow for
'correct' quoting, compressed...
home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ - 1k - Cached - Similar pages 


Result 2:

Clean up messages with extraneous quote markings.
home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/ - 1k - Cached - Similar

  Yep, that all seems fairly clear to me.

Re: cygwin telnetd/xinetd and non-cygwin Python: no interaction

[W. Borgert]

Hi,

thanks to Corinna, Igor, and Jason.  It seems I have to find another
telnet implementation for Windows NT (XP seems to have telnet built
in).  Unfortunately, I like to use Python interactively, so script
mode is not enough.  OTOH, I cannot use cygwin Python variant,
because it doesn't load the Python modules I have installed
(omniORBpy, a CORBA implementation for Python).  Also, I fear that
cygwin Python might be a little bit slower than "native" Python in
respect to I/O, but this might be not true anymore.

Cheers, WB

rsync very slow, but not a network issue

[Alexis Gallagher]

Hello,
I am finding that rsync+ssh is giving extremely slow file transfers. But 
this slowdown is hitting not when it needs to send data over the 
network, but when it applies the rsync algorithm which is supposed to be 
faster than sending all the data over the network. This is very puzzling.

For a benchmark, I tried transfering a 5.4 MB mp3 file three different 
ways. Here were my results, as reported by 'scp -v' and 'rsync 
--progress --stats':

   scp: 311000 B/s
   rsync (file not there): 309000 B/s
   rsync (file already there): 741 B/s
When the file is alredy there, rsync reports a speedup of about 70. 
(When the file is not already there, the speed up is 1, of course.) I am 
running rsync over ssh with pre-generated keys installed in my .ssh 
directories.

The receiving machine is running OS X 10.3.4. It has OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 (as 
judged from the 'ssh -v' output) and the fink installation of 
rsync2.6.2. The sending machine is running WinXPProSP1, with rsync 2.6.2 
and OpenSSH_3.8.1p1. FWIW, I am attaching my cygcheck.out, as suggested 
in the webpage on using this list.

Much obliged for any help,
Alexis

need -mrtd to create Excel DLL?

[Lester Ingber]

I was able to create a dll from many C files, representing fairly complex
calculations, using the following in my Makefile, without having to add
any keywords like "__declspec", using info from the Cygwin docs.

I used the following options:
CFLAGS=-g -O2 -Wall -mno-cygwin -mrtd
This DLL tested fine when used by Excel.

(1) I have not seen any postings calling for the use of "-mrtd".
I stumbled across this by trial and error trying to get my DLL to work.
I would prefer to not use this option, given the warnings in `info gcc`:
8< top cut -> bottom ->8
`-mrtd'
 Use a different function-calling convention, in which functions
 that take a fixed number of arguments return with the `rtd'
 instruction, which pops their arguments while returning.  This
 saves one instruction in the caller since there is no need to pop
 the arguments there.

 This calling convention is incompatible with the one normally used
 on Unix, so you cannot use it if you need to call libraries
 compiled with the Unix compiler.

 Also, you must provide function prototypes for all functions that
 take variable numbers of arguments (including `printf'); otherwise
 incorrect code will be generated for calls to those functions.

 In addition, seriously incorrect code will result if you call a
 function with too many arguments.  (Normally, extra arguments are
 harmlessly ignored.)

 The `rtd' instruction is supported by the 68010, 68020, 68030,
 68040, 68060 and CPU32 processors, but not by the 68000 or 5200.
8< bottom cut <- top ->8
Is there another way?

(2)  I could not get this approach to work using g++, though my code
compiles and runs just fine under an executable branch of code using
either gcc or g++?

Thanks.

Lester

FWIW:
Seems there is still something "wrong" with your configuration, a "Reply to
All" on the message (as quoted above) of yours yields
 "Cygwin List; Dave Korn" in the TO field (Dave shouldn't be there IMO).

IMHO, Scrap Eudora ASAP. It seems to have some kind of "bright" idea on how
to quote text too - totally unreadable.

OPINION:
 email has been the same for ages, let it stay that way.
 If you want something new, DEFINE the new stuff, go use it
 where it is apropriate; any new forum - stop spamming email.

Still; I've yet to see a well functioning email client on the PC
(I used a nice one on the Amiga for a long period of time;
 "Thor" - configurable as h*ll, through Amiga REXX.
 NOT perfect, not the fastest, but VERY nice.)

Heh... ;-P

 I wonder what kind of side effect the -mrtd flag has when used for the
cygwin compiler.

 I've hard to believe that Excel grok's M68K code. ;-D

[ADMIN] Cygwin package search temporarily disabled

Folks,

the "Search package list" functionality on http://cygwin.com/packages/
has been temporarily disabled due to security considerations. 

I can't say for how long this service will be down, but it will probably
be a few days.


Sorry for the inconvenience,

Problem with echo in tcsh 6.13.00-2 in Cygwin 1.5.10 (fwd)

[David Mastronarde]

The latest version of tcsh has a problem with the built-in echo.
When echo is used to write to a file from within a script, and then the
script runs a program that attempts to open the file, the program is not
able to open the file.

The attachment has a sample program, fortopen.f, which gave the problem 
when compiled with the Intel Fortran compiler.  A C program using
fopen did not show the problem.  The problem also does not occur when the
program is compiled with g77 under Cygwin.  The executable made the tar 
file too large for your mail program, so it is not included.  (Please 
tell me a better email address to use if you need it from me.)

The script echotest uses echo to write to a file, then runs fortopen which 
tries to open the file.  It does it first with echo piped to cat, and with 
/bin/echo, which do not fail, then it does it with the built-in echo, 
which fails with permission denied.

The problem occurs only with tcsh 6.13, not tcsh 6.12 (see two output 
files).

I am running Windows XP SP1.

Thanks.

Me too.  I've build your test application and ran it under tcsh 6.13.00
and I had no problem with it:

That's not wrong.  A "Reply to All" means reply to all who were originally 
addressed.  Since the original came from David and he (apparently) didn't
set his "Reply-To" (which Eudora will honor) to the list (for example), he 
is correctly included in the "Reply to All".

I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.  But I'm not really looking for opinions
on Eudora.  The only feedback that I'm really interested in is if anyone
knows how to configure it to better handle the OP's name in replies.  Since
this is largely off-topic, I think it's best not to prolong the thread 
unless someone here has a pointer.

  Absolutely so.  It doesn't matter to me, Ouchlook seems to manage to
identify dupes (by the msg-id presumably) and I only see one copy anyway.
So I don't bother with Reply-To:

cheers,

Re: cygwin telnetd/xinetd and non-cygwin Python: no interaction

[Doug Henderson]

W. Borgert wrote:
Hi,
thanks to Corinna, Igor, and Jason.  It seems I have to find another
telnet implementation for Windows NT (XP seems to have telnet built
in).  Unfortunately, I like to use Python interactively, so script
mode is not enough.  OTOH, I cannot use cygwin Python variant,
because it doesn't load the Python modules I have installed
(omniORBpy, a CORBA implementation for Python).  Also, I fear that
cygwin Python might be a little bit slower than "native" Python in
respect to I/O, but this might be not true anymore.
Cheers, WB
Windows and cygwin python are completely interchangable for the work I 
do. Today one of my colleagues asked what this /cygdrive/t/... stuff was 
doing in the error messages. He was running the windows version of 
python with .pyc files built by the cygwin version.

I find that python modules are easier to install under cygwin than in 
native windows. To build binary modules for the windows version, you 
need to use Visual C++, which I have refused to install. I have to 
locate a binary install package prebuilt for my python version and 
environment. For the cygwin version, "python setup.py install" always 
seems to work (provided the gcc tool chain is installed).

As an example, to install the cx_Oracle module, I need a binary 
installer that matches both my python version and my Oracle client 
library version. On cygwin, I use the same source version of the module 
with Oracle 8i, 9i and 10g client libraries and any version of python.

That is not correct at all, and rsync would be much less useful if it
were true.  rsync works with arbitrary binary data just as well as it
does with text.  It has no conception of 'lines' or any other type of
delimited text.  All it does is split up the file into fixed-length
chunks and calculates a rolling checksum of each of these.  It does not
use anything resembling 'diff' or 'patch'.

Re: cygwin: /proc and /cygdrive insvisible

[Oliver Geisen]

Hello,
is there a reason (i bet there is :-) why the /proc and /cygdrive
directory isn't visible when "ls -l /" ?
  cd /
  mkdir proc cygdrive
Sounds easy. But unfortunately it doesn't work for the /proc.
The command executes but after that there is still no directory visible 
via LS.

Oliver Geisen

Re: access to event log of windows

[Systemtechnik]

Hello,
is there a way to read/write from/to the event log of windows ?
syslog and vsyslog are implemented in Cygwin.  On NT they use the
event log system.
You're right.
But i think with syslog i can only write to the log.
What i also need is to read from it :-)
In other words: i'd like to scan NT eventlog for errors, 
programatically.

Oliver Geisen
