So it's a native Windows application which fails, not a Cygwin application.
I missed that detail.  Consequentially I tried to call notepad and write
in that script instead of calling ./fortopen.  Works nicely.  So I'm
wondering why you think that this is a bug in tcsh and not a bug in the
intel fortran libs.

However, you could try a recent Cygwin snapshot from
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and see if the problem is solved.  If not,
you'll probably have to debug that problem.

You are right. I just checked my XWin.log and it again said

 MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support

also ipcs gives me

 Bad system call

I start my cygserver as a service and a process listing shows that it's
still running, hmmm.

When I start cygserver after a reboot from a bash shell I get the
following (cygwin1.dll and cygserver both from the Jul 17 snapshot):

12:19 PM [505]> cygserver --version
cygserver: (cygwin) 1.10

Compiled on Jul 17 2004
Default configuration file is /etc/cygserver.conf

The only good thing, my gnome apps doesn't show the MapViewOfFileEx failure.

Reverting cygwin1.dll and cygserver back to 1.5.10-3, cygserver works
just fine, but now my gnome apps show again the MapViewOfFileEx failure

ncurses not found when compiling various packages

Hi,

I often get the message from configure scripts for applications that
are curses-based that no ncurses could be found (although it actually

What's going wrong and how can I point the configure script to my
"ncurses" dlls? Any environment variable or something like that?

Installing libncurses-devel might help.

you should ckeck if there is links between ncurses and curses files.
ex: curses.h -> ncurses.h etc
if not you should reinstall libncurses

  Dunno, but I have some generic autoconf advice:  Take a look at the
config.log file generated by configure.  It'll contain output from the
attempt to test curses that should show what the test tried to do and why it
failed; then you'll have a clearer idea what's up.

...always assuming that is the problem, of course.  And the answer is, we'll
have to look at config.log to see why the configure script isn't already
finding your ncurses install before we can figure out how to point it at the
relevant files...

I think this is a subset of something that's already in the setup.exe

Yeah, and for the record, typing "mksnap&" when it looks like a snapshot
is needed is no big deal.  I do it whenever it seems like there may be
a fix in cvs that could solve a reported problem.

Btw, Volker, if you're reading this, could you try the latest snapshot?
Corinna has a theory on what's causing your problem and I'd like to see
if the cygserver problem is gone now.

That's not the fatal error message that I was talking about.

Does the latest snapshot work any better?

Corinna and I noticed some strangeness with cygserver earlier this year
when it was compiled with gcc 3.3.2.  She reminded me of this problem
earlier today.  I had previously reverted my main system to gcc 3.3.1 a
but neglected to revert one of the other systems that I use for building
snapshots via distcc.  So, it was pure chance as to whether cygserver
was compiled with gcc 3.3.2 or gcc 3.3.1.

Now all three of the systems that I use to build snapshots should be in
sync, so I'm hoping your cygserver problem is now gone.

I'm back from my honeymoon (!) and I've just been catching up on this
thread. Are you still seeing the segfault Igor? If so I'll try to track
it down if I have any spare time.

As you can probably tell I never tested the HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA key.
Increasing the buffer size in increments is of course boilerplate code
but I managed to cod it up regardless. Sigh.

...and I'm sure you didn't enjoy this. :-)

Yes, I'm still seeing the segfault in the latest snapshot, but only when
run under gdb or strace.  Here are some sample tests:

$ cat /proc/registry/HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA/\@ > e.out
cat: /proc/registry/HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA/@: No such file or directory
$ # no segfault
$ strace -o cat_HKPD.strace cat /proc/registry/HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA/\@ > e.out
2262669 [main] cat 2400 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
2264445 [main] cat 2400 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to cat.exe.stackdump
$

I can also send you cat_HKPD.strace, but it's not very informative.  Let
me know if you can't reproduce this and need me to debug this locally.
FWIW, I have a working piece of Win32 code that does read this key
correctly (essentially a stripped down MS example).  Let me know if you
need it.

Problem with automatic logon using sshd

[Volker Vöcking]

Hi,

I want to trigger an automated build on a windows box from a unix box.
I’ve setup cygwin with sshd. The build command that is executed runs 
devenv.exe (Visual Studio .NET 2003) with a solution file and build target.

Two scenarios that show different results:

#1
User must enter a password when logging on using ssh.
-> In this case the build command succeeds.

#2
The user’s public key is added to the authorized_keys file. 
Now no password is needed.
-> The build command fails with ”Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library :
Runtime Error!” (found in the Windows “System Log”)


#1 and #2 are done with the same user and the same ssh client from the same
Unix machine.

I have compared the env after logon, they are identical.

Apparently there is a difference between #1 and #2 in how the user gets
impersonated though cygwin.

Any hint is welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Volker

 

 

Versions:

Windows 2000 Server SP4 (stand-alone, not a domain member or controller)

Openssh 3.8.1p1-1

The runtime error isn't very helpful, since it specifies very little about
what went wrong.  However, if you're seeing different behavior depending on 
whether you use password or pubkey auth, then the problem is most certainly
because VC++ is looking for access to some shared resource for which you 
have not been authenticated by Windows with ssh.  Typically, that's a 
Windows share of some kind.  Your choices are:

  1. Make the share available to everyone.

  2. Run the sshd service as the user who will use ssh.  You'll need to 
 add more permissions to that user to make this work.  See the openssh 
 README for more info.

Either should work, although (2) is considered far less secure.

The email archives has volumes on the ssh password vs pubkey authentication
issue, if you're looking for more details/variations.

tcsh terminate unexpectedly

[bobmills1]

I'm running cygwin on a WIN2k server and have the following trouble with a tcsh 
executable script.

*When run from an login shell (tcsh -l) the script runs without error.

*I recently attempted to run the script from the WIN scheduler and the script 
terminated unexpectedly. The Properties of the shortcut program used in the scheduler 
was "tcsh name_of_script".

*The script always terminates at the same point so it is not a random error.

My questions are;
1. Why would a script that runs normally when run 
   interactively, terminate
   when run in the scheduler.
2. What would be the best way to debug (tcsh -xn 
   name_of_script)?
   Because is shuts down unexpectedly and the shell 
   disappears these techniques would be difficult to 
   utilize.

Re: cat /proc/registry/HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA/@ hangs

[Robert Pendell]

I have no clue if anyone thought to bring this up but how about
telling us what combination shell and console that you use.

Example:
I use rxvt and bash combination (rxvt is console / bash is shell) and
there are no problems -- it just echos what I typed if it can't access
what I want.  If I start up sh though within that session and run the
same command 'cat' will show the same problem as what started this
thread from the start.

I'll need to research how that interacts with open calls in DLLs. It might
be a solution.

Re: cat /proc/registry/HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA/@ hangs

[Igor Pechtchanski]

I don't think it matters.  I get the same exact results with both sh and
bash in any one of the cmd window, xterm, or rxvt.  FWIW, the output below
was with cmd/bash.  You *are* trying the latest snapshot, right?

I'm not sure I understand what "there are no problems -- it just echos
what I typed if it can't access what I want" means, either.  The point is
that it's *supposed* to be able to access that registry key.

P.S. .

That worked - the configure terminated successfully. Unfortunately the
make errored for "WeeChat" but at least I could now compile cmatrix
:-). Thanke

Re: I can't inicializate PostgreSQL

[Manuel Tejada]

Thanks Carlo Florendo y Flora and Igor Pechtchanski 
for your very illustrative comments. Based on that I
follow the procedure again for install PostgreSQL in
my Window ME. Now I can run Cygserver but The
initialization of PostgreSQL failled. See the output I
got:

Really I don't know what does meant the line "FATAL: 
shmat(id=1179648) failed: Invalid argument".

What difficult is becoming the installation of the
PostgreSQL'new versions on Cygwin (runing on Windows
ME) since the use of Cygserver instaed of ipc-daemon2.
Maybe I am doing something wrong but I don't know what
it is.
I am not an expert just a user.

Somebody have any clue?

Really I don't know what does meant the line "FATAL: 
shmat(id=1179648) failed: Invalid argument".
 

If you check the the most recent posts on the postgresql mailing list 
archive (pgsql-cygwin), a similar problem has been posted but a solution 
has not yet been proposed.
However, it says that there could be a need to modify the cygserver.conf 
file.

shmat has something to do with shared memory.   Thus, try disabling 
shared memory on cygserver.conf.  Look for the line which says:

#kern.srv.sharedmem yes
Uncomment it and change the yes to no.  Restart cygserver, remove the 
contents of /usr/share/postgresql/data and run  initdb.  Let's see what 
happens.

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Carlo
