Ugh, textmode. Been so long since I've used it, I'd forgotten about it.

/me mentally prepares himself for adding a slew of binary flags.

[cygwin tips&tricks] Shortcut to vim in "Send to" folder

[Tomasz Rojek]

Hi all,

I would like to share with this tip with any cygwin newbie (all the cygwin
developers know it for sure :)
I use a few text editors in my daily work, today I finally ;) came to idea
to have a shortcut pointing to vim in my "Send to" right click submenu. I
use this command in a shortcut to run vim in rxvt window:

C:\FOLDER\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -display :0 -T vim -vb -sr -sl 1 -bg
black -cr white -fg LightSteelBlue1 -j -fn
"-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-14-14-m-0-iso8859-2" -e
/usr/bin/vim

Sending a file to vim works fine, drag&dropping any file on above shortcut
opens the file in vim too.

Greetings

Tomasz Rojek

Check whether  you have correct entries on your /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files.
`system.544' means `SYSTEM:root'.The user `SYSTEM' should appear on
your /etc/passwd file.
The group `root' should be on your /etc/group file.  You should  notice
that the group `root' has a GID (Group ID) of 544.
If you get the above error message, there could be something wrong with
your /etc/passwd or /etc/group file.
Btw, my /etc/passwd and /etc/group files were automatically generated by
cygwin.
   

The point is moot since this is on WinME, and I don't think chown works on
that system.  The fact that it's invoked is probably a bug in the script,
and the above message is harmless (on Win9x/ME).
 

Oops, thanks for pointing out!I always tell myself to read carefully 
before making any assumptions.  I read that but it didn't stick.   Gee, 
it must be my sleepiness :)
Anyway, the indication that it's a bug in cygserver is most probable.  
I've checked the scripts and there is really a line which explicitly 
does a chown system.544.  Yes, it shouldn't matter on Win9x/ME
but the message is generates can be misleading--or terrifying for 
non-experts like me.

Further configuration options are available by editing the
configuration file /etc/cygserver.conf.  Please read the inline
information in that file carefully. The best option for the start is to
just leave it alone.
Please keep in mind, that a client application which wants to use the
services provided by cygserver *must* have the environment variable
CYGWIN set so that it contains the word "server".  So, if you don't
need any other special CYGWIN setting, just set it to "server".
It is advisable to add this setting to the Windows system environment.

someone on the mailing list, he could probably tell you why.
   

There is a reason, and the reason is that cygserver, like most of the
other stuff in /usr/sbin, was intended to run as a service (or be invoked
from a service).  On Unices, things in /sbin (for which /usr/sbin is the

No, that would not change anything.  I just added a fatal error message.

When you say "windows' utility", I assume you mean Cygwin's setup.exe.  If
you start setup.exe, go to the package selection screen, and click on the
postgresql package version a few times, you should see the previous
version appear.  Switch to the "Partial" view (click on the "View" button)
to make sure that that's the only think you'll install, and finish the
installation.

It should be, but why? 

RE: Subversion eol-corrupting jar files on update

[Karr, David]

If the Cygwin port of subversion is really just using the mount mode to
determine this, then that seems like a bug to me.  Someone else pointed
out to me that subversion is able to determine that the "mime-type" of
".jar" is "application/octet-stream", and that should imply that it
should do no file conversion.

Subversion eol-corrupting jar files on update

I'm having trouble with the svn in Cygwin corrupting jar files on update
or checkout.  It's doing an eol translation.  I've specified ".jar" in
my svn properties, to indicate that it should use the "eol-type" of
"native".  My "mount" table shows everything in "textmode".  Do I have
to change to binary in order for this to work?  I would have thought the

She did.  Don't you feel special? ;-)

In all seriousness, though, whenever a reported bug gets fixed, a snapshot
is generated so that the original reporter (and anyone else who might be
experiencing the bug) can try it out and report that it's fixed (the way
you have done).  That's the whole purpose of snapshots.

I can't inicializate PostgreSQL

[Manuel Tejada]

I am using PostgreSQL for Cygwin on Windows ME from
April 2003

I was working with PostgreSQL 7.4.1-3 very well.
Recently I decided to make an upgrade from PostgreSQL
7.4.1-3 to PostgreSQL 7.4.3-1 (the newest for cygwin).
After installing the PostgreSQL 7.4.3-1 from Internet
with the utility setup.exe, I followed the normal
procedure that I was accustomed to use to inicializate
the PostgreSQL,  but the initdb failed. 

The following is what I got:

 [1]+ Exit 127cygserver



My questions are:

a) In what I am failling myself?

b) Anybody knows how to fix this?

c)Supposing there is no way how to fix this. what must
I do to reinstall the old PostgreSQL (7.4.1-3) that I
still have the tar.gz archive in a directory created
by the utility setup.exe.? I tried to reinstall the
old one with the utility setup.exe but I can not see
it in the windows'utility. Maybe I have to  install it
using ./configure, make, etc.? Is possible do this?


I'll appreciate any answer

Hello all,

That's perfect ! Thanks again Corinna.

I thought a daily Cygwin snapshot was automatically generated (when I looked at 
the page, I saw one from the previous day...). I see that's not the way it's 
done. I hope you didn't generate one only because of me...


Best regards,

FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION.

[JOHNSON ROSHDY]

Cygwin
I am Johnson Roshdy, son to Mr.Hatem Roshdy, On the
31st of October 1999, my father was involved in a
plane crash(EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 990) with other
passengers aboard as you may confirm through
this website:
http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/
index.html

However after the death of my father my mother has
been hopitalised and now she is paralysed because
of the shock of her husbands death.
Resently the Attorney to my late father informed me
that my father left the sum of USD$34,800(thirty
four million eight hundred thousand United States
Dollars) with a security/finance company in United
Arab Emirate.This fund according to the Attorney
was kept in three trunk boxes and deposited with
the security/finance company as personal effects.
Now because of the state of my mother and also my
family background and my age,I decided to seek for
your help and assistance to safeguard and invest
this fund in your country and also assist us to
come over to your country so that my mother can as
well receive adequate treatment and two other of my
siblings will go to better schools in your country.
I have collected the documents from the lawyer for
the deposit which my father made and upon the
receipt of your response to assist my family,I will
send them to you so that you can go and claim this
fund on our behalf.
I am writing you because I saw your name and email
address in my late father's file so I believed that
you must have been doing business with him before
he died and will be willing to assist us especially
at this point of our need.
I will wait here till I hear from you.
Regards,
Johnson Roshdy.

  I've had an even better idea!  Let's change the font in the package
chooser to white on a white background and make everyone *guess* what
they're installing!

Perl 5.8.2 Term::Readline problems

[bse2000]

Hi again,

after my upgrade to Perl 5.8.2 on Cygwin and having run 'rebaseall' I still
have problems.

For some reason the Term::Readline module doesn't work anymore as it should:

The symptom is that with my interpreter script I can't use the arrow keys
anymore to scroll backward previous commands. Instead the up/down keys lead
to an up/down movement of the cursor in the xterm window. Perl 5.8.0 works
still fine.

Any hints what is wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Best regards
Ralf

Sure.  Make sure your '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' files contain the 
local and domain groups and users you need (see 'man mkpasswd' and 'man
mkgroup' for details on the '-l' and '-d' flags).  Then use the '-R' 
flag to 'chmod' and/or 'chgrp' on '/' to set your permissions and/or
ownerships the way you want them.  You'll need to do this as the privileged
user.

Microsoft C default is a good compromise between compilation speed and 
performance.  g++ Cygwin aims for compilation speed and no transformations 
which inhibit debugging.  Performance simply is not comparable without 
normal optimization:
g++ -O3 -Drestrict=__restrict__ -funroll-loops -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse 
*.cpp
CL /EHsc /Ox /arch:SSE2 *.cpp
I have no idea about Digital Mars, but STLport does have more optimization 
than MS.
Nor do I know if any of your versions of g++ tinker with default optimization.
I believe clock() is implemented differently between cygwin and msvcrt, and 
you may have additional variations represented here.

RE: Error: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

[Igor Pechtchanski]

David,

This is very puzzling.  Your mounts are present in the registry, but
for some reason the Cygwin DLL can't see them.  Does your registry have
any special permissions?  Could you please post the results of

cd /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin
./ls "/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin/mounts v2"
./regtool list "/HKLM/SOFTWARE/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin/mounts v2"

as run from a bash shell?  Also, could you please run

.\strace -o ls_etc.strace ./ls /etc

from your c:\cygwin\bin directory, and e-mail me ls_etc.strace privately?
I'd like to see if the strace shows anything.  If it does, I'll post a
summary to the list.

FWIW, your user mounts seem to be visible, so *after you do the above*, as
a short-term workaround, you can try this:

mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin" "/"
mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"

but be aware that this will give you a limited-use Cygwin (e.g., Cygwin
services, like sshd, still won't work).
HTH,
Igor

Hi,
How to explain so considerable difference in performance: g++ Cygwin vs. 
other compilers in tests below?
I can't figure out at a glance what you are doing.  I find that loop 
lengths of 1000 or less (32-bit data types) require the cpu cycle timer 
(rdtsc) to get repeatable results.  I have no significant difference in 
timings between g++ STL templates running in linux or in cygwin, not even 
between 32-bit cygwin under WOW64 and 64-bit linux.  The Microsoft builds 
are generally slower.  I haven't tried -mno-cygwin, I've used only standard 
gcc/g++ 3.4.x.  My tests call a dummy() function before running back 
through the same test data, so that there is no software optimization 
performed by recognizing do-nothing loops.  The data are initialized to 
normal stuff of the correct data type, so that no exceptions occur, same 
initial values for each compiler.

Much of this comes ready-made in the Levine-Callahan-Dongarra vector 
benchmark from netlib.org.  Where possible, I have made C, C++, and Fortran 
90 versions, so I can get quite picky about effectiveness of compiler 
optimizations.

I don't find your compile options, or whether you have profiled.  For g++ 
under cygwin, I use
-O3 -funroll-loops -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse
No doubt, some of the compilers have entirely different defaults.  Are you 
one of those who considers the only fair comparison to be among defaults, 
even though those vary from no optimization to more than what is permitted 
by the language standards?

Microsoft STL doesn't implement copy() as memmove(), as libstdc++, STLport, 
and Dinkumware do, nor do the Microsoft compilers perform any consolidation 
of moves into 64- or 128- bit moves.  If there is a memmove() replacement, 
you should tell us which one is used.  Newlib is likely to be slow; even 
glibc or MS RT are not likely to be optimized for a particular style of CPU.

with a lot of my gnome1 apps dissapeared after installing the latest
snapshot.

It must be this change:

2004-07-16  Christopher Faylor  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* pinfo.cc (pinfo::init): Guard against MapViewOfFileEx failure.



Thanks a lot

Ciao
  Volker

  Another possibility would be for the very last dialog in setup.exe, the
one that says "download/install complete", to also say in very big letters
"For Cygwin-specific documentation, see /usr/share/doc/Cygwin".  It could
maybe even have a tickbox to automatically open that window in explorer...


cheers,

Performance: g++ Cygwin vs. other compilers (copying char[] to vector)

Hi,

How to explain so considerable difference in performance: g++ Cygwin vs. other 
compilers in tests below?

Wow, I'm impressed over the level of squabbling -

In general:
I would be very much IMPRESSED if ANY/ALL posters stopped attempting
anything else than having cygwin@.com in the To: field and clearing
the other related fields.

"Peronal replies" is mentioned in old netiquette docs, look up the docs and
have a read - then please follow the recommendations.
