On Sun, 8 Aug 2004, Weeble wrote: The subject line says most of it really. When I run XWin no window appears even though the X appears in the tray. I've seen this on every machine I've tried it on. XWin alone will show the window as well as the console that opens with it. Passing a parameter like run XWin -nodecoration does have the expected effect of showing the XWin window but hiding the console. But why isn't the main window displayed if the parameter is missing when the command is used with run ? We had reports of this before. Unfortunately the only difference between XWin and XWin -nodecoration is one flag in window creation which must cause the problem. But the different behaviour is not documented in any of Microsoft Windows API documentation and we know of no other solution than running with -nodecoration instead. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

What you should be doing is using the X-Forwarding mechanism of SSH. Basically, it should go something like this: 1) Launch the Cygwin X-Server, Xwin. 2) From a local xterm, run ssh -X remote_host better use ssh -Y remote_host. (See FAQ for details) 3) Once you're logged in, echo back the value of DISPLAY on the remote host. It should look something like :8, or possibly remote_host:8. 4) At this point, running xterm should open a client window on the local X-Server. You do not need to, and should not, manually set the DISPLAY variable on the remote host when using ssh.

When running xwin.exe with the -multiwindow switch (to use winxp's gdi as X's wm), the X-managed regions of the screen do some rather strange things. When the root window is shown, all of the X windows behave as they should, with the root window having the proper dimensions and offset from the upper-left corner of the screen. However, when the root window is hidden, X refuses to draw any regions of any window it thinks are outside the bounds of the root window, drawing white blocks instead. The bug is that when the root window is hidden, X thinks that the offset of the root window is (0,0), flush with the upper-left corner of the screen, regardless of what the desktop bounds (the extent of maximized windows) really are. This behavior doesn't manifest itself on factory-installed Windows XP systems, but it does manifest when the system is customized, especially if the taskbar is moved to other edges of the screen, or when another shell (such as LiteStep) is used in lieu of the default Internet Explorer/Windows Explorer shell. I've not used LiteStep before. XWin queries the system about the screen size and the size and location of the task bar. You can check the logfile /tmp/XWin.log and it should print a line with the visual size (maybe you have to specify -logverbose 3 or higher to see this line). you can specify the size itself with the -screen parameter (eg -screen 0 800x600) bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Since the move to X.org it is no longer there) If any one wants to know: Additional to the preparation of the windows fonts to be used by cygwin/X one needs the following files: 1) in /usr/X11r6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ 6x12.pcf.gz cursor.pcf.gz fonts.alias fonts.dir (see 2 attached text files) 2) The original contents of fonts/encodings/ (0.5Mg) 3) Original contents of /fonts/util (0.2Meg) 3) All other fonts/ dirs can be removed. X11r6/bin can be trimmed down to 1/2 a dozen files. And thats it Nothing else need changed. The original X11r6/ installation was 24Mg now it is down to 3.5Mg including extras. And I am sorry to say that now (using the windows fonts) it looks much (^2) better.

Not true - the syntax is correct, but the action (set XAUTHORITY to a default value if it isn't already set to a non-null string) is inappropriate. The Cygwin X server gets upset if XAUTHORITY doesn't point to a valid authority file containing correct data.

I have done the following: 1) run mkfontdir - in the /cygdrive/c/windows/font/ directory 2) run ttmkfdir.exe font.dir - I found ttmkfdir.exe in an old cygwin/xfree Shouldn't this be fonts.dir (note the s)? (not x.org) installation. It is very useful still. I suggest someone updates it to the new x.org package or should I have used something else? Do you Google: http://google.com/search?q=ttmkfdir+cygwin? The matches show that ttmkfdir is not part of the Cygwin/X distribution, so you must've downloaded it separately. FWIW, I'm going to do some work with fonts soon, and might consider making ttmkfdir into a Cygwin package, installable via setup.exe. [Q] if I run ln -s /cygdrive/c/windows/font/ /usr/X11r6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF - ^ Should this be Fonts (note the s)? Also, Cygwin is sometimes configured to be case-sensitive, and it's always better to use the correct filename case. That would make it (by default) something like /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Fonts. I'd also suggest removing the trailing slash (/) from the ln command, just in case. On load, XWin.log will still complain about /usr/X11r6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF been not loadable. But if I deep copy cp /cygdrive/c/windows/font/* /usr/X11r6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ - than it is OK. Why would XWin not follow the symbolic link prepared by cygwin1.dll? This is Important as it is a big Resource and I don't want to duplicate windows font directory. I don't know how much help it is, but I found that a directory of symlinks (instead of a symlink to a directory) works with XWin. So, try something like ln -s /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Fonts/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and see if it helps. And, as you've already noticed, mount will also work.

nfsd and mountd startup problem - workaround
Like previously reported on this list; I have also problems with the rpc.mountd.exe and rpc.nfsd.exe from Cygwin. The error messages are mountd[2896] 07/11/104 10:49 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (mountd, 1, udp). Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign requested address and nfsd[2184] 08/23/104 10:59 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (nfsd, 2, udp). Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign requested address The problem started after installing some VPN client SW from Sentinel. The workaround is quite simple, (but required quite some time of head-scratching): - - - Disable the virtual network adaptor for the VPN connection ( I am running Win XP): Control panel / Administrative Tools/ Computer Management: Enter Systemtoools / Device manager. View - Show Hidden devices Open Network Adaptors Select SSH Virtual Network Adaptor (sshvnic) and disable it. Then start nfsd and mountd - - - When nfsd and mountd is running, it is possible to reenable the sshvnic driver, and reconnct the VPN connection. - - - It seems to me that nfsd/mountd tries to bind to all enabled network interfaces. If one of them fail, it throws in the towel. Whether this behaviour is due to nfsd/mountd it self, or cygwin libraries, or Windows, I can not tell. Apparently, the Sentinel SW does not register its driver properly in the registry, so the virtual network adaptor always appear as disconnected when running ipconfig. The same nfsd/mountd problem occurs when a physical network connection is physically disconnected. I hope this information will help others with similar problems.

g++ Debugger for Win32?
Does anyone know of a good g++ debugger for Win32? I've tried using Eclipse and CDT but those tools are tremendously troublesome and buggy. I tried using a tool called VIDE - which looks very good, but the debugging is barely a step above using GDB from the command line. Finally, there's this Insight thing that comes with Cygwin, but it's not very robust. I would be willing to $PAY$ for a good, intuitive integrated IDE/debugger that actually worked well with g++ - it doesn't have to be free. Any and all leads welcome.

RE: nfsd and mountd startup problem - workaround
Egil, Thanks very much for the report, the diagnosis, and particularly the steps to reproduce. I'll see if this can be corrected (or at least documented) in the next nfs-server release. -Samrobb -Original Message- From: Egil Hjelmeland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 8/24/2004 7:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject:nfsd and mountd startup problem - workaround Like previously reported on this list; I have also problems with the rpc.mountd.exe and rpc.nfsd.exe from Cygwin. The error messages are mountd[2896] 07/11/104 10:49 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (mountd, 1, udp). Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign requested address and nfsd[2184] 08/23/104 10:59 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (nfsd, 2, udp). Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign requested address The problem started after installing some VPN client SW from Sentinel. The workaround is quite simple, (but required quite some time of head-scratching): - - - Disable the virtual network adaptor for the VPN connection ( I am running Win XP): Control panel / Administrative Tools/ Computer Management: Enter Systemtoools / Device manager. View - Show Hidden devices Open Network Adaptors Select SSH Virtual Network Adaptor (sshvnic) and disable it. Then start nfsd and mountd - - - When nfsd and mountd is running, it is possible to reenable the sshvnic driver, and reconnct the VPN connection. - - - It seems to me that nfsd/mountd tries to bind to all enabled network interfaces. If one of them fail, it throws in the towel. Whether this behaviour is due to nfsd/mountd it self, or cygwin libraries, or Windows, I can not tell. Apparently, the Sentinel SW does not register its driver properly in the registry, so the virtual network adaptor always appear as disconnected when running ipconfig. The same nfsd/mountd problem occurs when a physical network connection is physically disconnected. I hope this information will help others with similar problems.

RE: sed and dos format
Brian Dessent wrote: Hannu E K Nevalainen wrote: You wrote: james pentland wrote: sed has the unfortunate property that it reduces dos format line endings to unix format line endings. Use a text mode mount. Using a sledgahammer for a nail? Better to use unix2dos A.K.A. u2d. I disagree. He said he was doing this with many files. It's far easier to just mount the directory once as textmode and not have to change anything than it is to edit all his scripts to run u2d afterward, and have to remember to do that to all future scripts. One mount command versus potentially dozens of current and future script updates is hardly a sledgehammer for a nail. Plus textmode mounts will keep his files with DOS line endings no matter what processing he does, whereas u2d requires that he remember to run that command any time he changes a file with a cygwin program. I don't see how you can advocate manually having to do that every time when there's a feature built in to Cygwin to handle this very thing and handle it more efficiently. Brian james pentland also wrote: this makes sed unusable or undesirable for a large number of files i might want to edit. I don't take this as an implication of 'bulk' edits. So your many files falls on this. Also; using sed implies automatic changes. What your refer to as beeing easy; to use a text mount has its pitfalls, and that is why I'm writing this. Using u2d is by far easier than using sed ;-). And as it is sed we're talking about, the automatic nature of the thing indicates that he is using a script - adding u2d at an apropriate point isn't hard. Text mounts means that you have the potential danger of CRLF vs LF confusion - at a point where you've forgotten that you have mounted in text mode. To summarize somewhat on my text mode mount concerns; 1) Not always easy to remember which mount is text mode which is not. Do you check this out every time? - I don't. 2) The main danger is inadvertent(sp?) text conversion; This causes MUCH confusion/malfuction - problems which often lead to extensive bug hunting. My experience is that the *last* you think of is CRLF vs LF problems in this situation. 3) In addition some(many?) cygwin/gnu tools has problems as soon as there is a text mount involved... (in addition to taking stdin as implication of text mode requirement as it seems) This situation is slowly getting better though. 3a) How many percent of cygwin users know exactly which tools to not use on text mounts? 3b) Yet another question is whether they (3a) do(can) keep an updated list of these - as patches are applied? IMO; to be safe: stay away from text mode mounts and you *won't* have to remember nor worry as much. I'd say that it is easier to remember that you're working on a DOS file (say a .bat) than to remember which of all mounts are in text mode. Now you come and say things like handle it more efficiently; If I'm on a futile bug hunt for hours before I can finish the job, then the efficiency comes to a grand halt. Also with my way (above) in mind you'll quite easily see that the unreliability (wrt line endings) of a utility like sed as discussed here, and 'cat stdin' in a recent thread, will be a very big nuisance. In this situation it really is simple to add u2d or d2u as the last command in a pipe. I'd call that efficient painkilling. To sum it up; Its a free world, I can lay no obligation on you to do it my way. But you've got to give me the credit that I've got a point in my concerns. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.

So your many files falls on this. Also; using sed implies automatic changes. My response was addressing the point of view that he had lots of files for a certain application that must remain with DOS line endings and that they would all possibly be handled in various ways by various sed scripts. Obviously for a few random text files u2d is easier. The poster asked about how to make sed work as he wanted, and to me making a text mount addresses that question most directly. Obviously if he knows how to use sed he is aware of how to use u2d or add an explicit \r in his scripts, so telling him to use u2d does not paint the whole picture. How do I make X work? Use Y. is an incomplete response when X can easily be made to work as requested. I agree that text mode mounts have lots of issues but in the context of his post I invisioned a specific application in a specific drectory or tree that could all be mounted text, seperate from the rest of the system. Obviously mounting all kinds of things text without consideration is a bad idea. Regarding efficiency, I am strictly talking about the code path. Having Cygwin add a \r when the file is written the first time should be more efficient than reprocessing the whole thing after it's been processed the first time, or at the least reparsing the lines in an output filter pipeline to insert \r's. Again my reply was under the context of lots of files that *must* remain DOS-mode where accidently forgetting a u2d somewhere breaks things just as bad as some obscure text-mode bug in some app. This is beginning to get trollish so I will cease further comment in this thread.

As a result, the default PATH doesn't contain /usr/X11R6/bin. The attached patch to the gtk2-x11 postinstall script works around the problem by explicitly setting the PATH for the postinstall script execution. It also changes the calls to mkdir and chmod to use absolute paths as well, though this probably really isn't neccesary with the PATH being set properly. -Samrobb --- gtk2-x11.sh.orig2004-07-06 12:21:39.0 -0400 +++ gtk2-x11.sh 2004-08-24 16:32:09.538908200 -0400 @@ -1,7 +1,9 @@ #!/usr/bin/sh -mkdir -p /etc/gtk-2.0 -chmod 777 /etc/gtk-2.0 +export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin + +/usr/bin/mkdir -p /etc/gtk-2.0 +/usr/bin/chmod 777 /etc/gtk-2.0 if [ -f /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe ] ; then \ /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders ; \ fi -- 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/

While I was porting some code that is based on POSIX threads and SYSV message queues I found that if the receiver (i.e. caller to msgrcv) of the message queue is a child or sibling thread of the sender (i.e. caller to msgsnd), then the msgsnd call hangs indefinitely even though NOWAIT is specified. If the receiver (caller to msgrcv) is another process, then all works fine. I have included a simple program that spawns the receiver either as a process (i.e. fork) or as a thread (pthread_create).

The current methods only allow one concurrent call per process. If one call blocked, the per-process locking wasn't released, accidentally. My fix solves that very problem, so your application won't hang anymore, but it doesn't change the fact that only one thread per process can run an IPC call at a time. I have an idea how to solve that, but that takes somewhat more time and I'm not sure I want to change that already for the upcoming Cygwin release. Thanks for the testcase, it's highly appreciated.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: TeXmacs-1.0.4-3: A scientific wysiwyg Editor and Interface for Computer Algebra Systems
TeXmacs has been updated to the new stable version 1.0.4. Canonical homepage: http://texmacs.org NEWS Cygwin specific: - PDF exports works now - please avoid spaces in your username - if you decide to install the unofficial netpbm package, which installs to /usr/local/bin/netpbm, then make sure to add this path to the front of your PATH, in particular if you have MikTeX or an other LaTeX distribution for Windows installed. See http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/about/changes.en.html for the full list. DESCRIPTION: GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which help you to produce professionally looking documents. The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write your own extensions to the editor. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and Html/MathML/Xml. In the future, TeXmacs is planned to evolve towards a complete scientific office suite. GETTING STARTED QUICKLY: 1. Install TeXmacs -- To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Editors or Math and then click on the appropriate fields until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. 2. Start and test your X Double click on the Cygwin icon on your Desktop, this brings up a black Cygwin shell. Assuming you have the xterm package installed, type: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 XWin -multiwindow -clipboard xterm In the tray in the lower right corner of your screen you will see a black X and an additional (white) window should appear. In order not to set the DISPLAY variable again and again, you should set it as a user's variable; e.g. under Windows XP: Start-Control_Panel-System-Advanced-Environment_variables 3. Start TeXmacs ... by typing texmacs into a Cygwin shell. Try a second time, if there is a problem. 4.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New Package: ccrypt-1.7.1-1: A utility for encrypting and decrypting files
The package ccrypt is now available with the Cygwin distribution. Canonical homepage: http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ccrypt/ Canonical download: http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ccrypt/download/ DESCRIPTION: ccrypt is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams. It was designed as a replacement for the standard unix crypt utility, which is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. ccrypt is based on the Rijndael cipher, which is the U.S. government's chosen candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, see http://www.nist.gov/aes/). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security. Unlike unix crypt, the algorithm provided by ccrypt is not symmetric, i.e., one must specify whether to encrypt or decrypt. The most common way to invoke ccrypt is via the commands ccencrypt and ccdecrypt. There is also a ccat command for decrypting a file directly to the terminal, thus reducing the likelihood of leaving temporary plaintext files around. In addition, there is a compatibility mode for decrypting legacy unix crypt files. An emacs mode is also supplied for editing encrypted text files. GETTING STARTED QUICKLY: 1. Install ccrypt - To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Utils and then click on the appropriate fields until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. 2. Modify your .emacs file -- Add to your .emacs file in your home directory the following two lines: (setq load-path (cons /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp load-path)) (require 'jka-compr-ccrypt jka-compr-ccrypt.el) Then, if you open an encrypted file, emacs will ask for a password. The first time you want to save the buffer, emacs will ask again twice, but for later savings in this session the password will be remembered. 3. Test it -- At the command prompt: cd /tmp echo here goes some test testfile.txt ccencrypt testfile.txt this gives your a file testfile.txt.cpt. You can now either edit it with emacs, or decrypt it with ccdecrypt again. FURTHER INFORMATION: If you have ccrypt-related questions or comments, please check out the man page http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ccrypt/ccrypt.html and the FAQ http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ccrypt/faq.html before contacting the author.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Release candidate: gcc-3.4.1-1
Group, just updated to gcc341 and am getting a silly core dump in fortran core. I'm using the following compile flags: g77 -c -O6 -ffast-math -malign-double -funsafe-math-optimizations -fno-trapping-math -fexpensive-optimizations -finline-functions -finline-limit=10 -fstrength-reduce -fgcse -fgcse-lm -fgcse-sm -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -march=pentium4 -fno-underscoring -fno-f2c -Wall -Winline -Wunused -Wuninitialized -ffixed-line-length-132 src.f -o src.o Adding -mno-cygwin has no effect. I've narrowed down where shit is happening: in a call to intrinsic min()! Doesn't happen in a small stand-alone test code. It also doesn't happen under mingw gcc341. anybody else observing similar crap? H. Brian Ford wrote: On Tue, 24 Aug 2004, Gerrit P.

Cygwin-Perl upgrade and modules
The other day, I decided to finally update all my cygwin packages with setup.exe -- including perl. Went from 5.8.0 to 5.8.5 and now realize that the path to all the modules I installed is under the older version at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 instead of /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5. I've always shied away from upgrading perl in Linux so don't have much experience dealing with modules from older installations. Must I re-install all these modules, or can I add a path to them in my scripts, or should I revert back to the older version of perl and if so, how? Any help appreciated. -- Gary -- 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/
Re: environment variable name converted to upper case
Larry Hall wrote: I'm not sure what you mean by 'Posix shells'. Shells that come with the Cygwin environment don't expect uppercase. Windows (and DOS) do, really. OK, I was a little imprecise. What I was trying to say was that NT *shells* preserves case in environment variables, but is case-insensitive in lookup. Which is why it allows variables like Path or PATH interchangeably. You can set foo, but look up %FoO% or %fOo, and it'll find that foo and return it. But just set prints out foo=..., not FOO= Posix shells (OK, another bad term - I mean shells originally written to run on Unix-y or Posix-y systems - i.e. sh, bash, ksh, csh, etc., but not CMD, COMMAND.COM, 4NT, or others), on the other hand, are completely case-preserving and case-sensitive. And in order to be able to see PATH in the environment in cygwin shells when the system had set Path, cygwin uppercases all environment vars when starting a cygwin process. What I was saying was, how about uppercasing just Path/PATH? We can leave the case of the others alone, as they are in the system environment. OK, sure, there's minor complexity in saying if (stricmp(var, path) == 0) uppercase(var) instead of just uppercase(var) but it reduces the needless element of surprise at the unnecessary munging of the environment. Anyway, not a big point; just a suggestion, and it looks like it's been shot down. That's ok.. -- 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/
