Re: ghostscript weirdness
I believe to remember that this may be a question in which sequence the non-x11 bins and the x11 bins are set in your path and how your DISPLAY variable is set. If you are running the X based gs you should have the X11 related entries in the path before the non-X11 once (and vice versa if you are running the non-X11 gs). I have not tested this on my local install today - but I believe I have verified this earlier due to an earlier disussion of the same problem... Med venlig hilsen / Regards Franz Wolfhagen

Mac OS/X, Virtual PC 6, Oracle, and Cygwin/X - a tale
Well it is possible to get cygwin/X running on Virtual PC 6.1.1 under Mac OS/X 10.3. There are some tricks (simply to make it work, and to preserve your sanity..all Windows OSs are NOT created equal), so please bear with me while I provide some color to my tale. Now, you may ask why anyone would want to get this combo working on a Macintosh Powerbook G4 running OS/X 10.3.5? You can get X windows for OS/X directly. However, the world is populated by Windows machines, and as a database consultant, I have to access a multitude of client sites remotely since travel is not an option for a myriad of reasons. That means you enter the world of VPNs, which are in heavy use today, and getting more common by the minute. And the world of VPNs is dominated by Windows software ( NOT the VPN that you get w/Windows direct from Microsoft, but the proprietary ones like Contivity, Cisco, Avaya, etc). Further VPN's do not like to be installed on the same machine as other VPN's ( these things do not play well together), so if you are working with 3-4-5 customers and all the associated VPN software is from different vendors...well you can see the problem even if you don't toss in the point that I wanted to use my Mac that I had already paid for with hard earned, cold, unadulterated CASH. That was my original motivation for getting Virtual PC...so one could use the Windows VPN software to access the client sites, by defining multiple virtual PCs each with their own software installed for a specific customer, and do it all from (1) laptop. AND IT WORKS! The next issue came from Oracle Corporation ( remember I make a living as a database consultant). On Unix (Sun, HP, AIX, Linux) the Oracle installer is the Universal Installer...ie it is a java based X-based. Character based telnet installs are not a real option anymore, much to the telecommuter's regret. That means I needed to come up with a means of running remote X-apps, through the client's VPN under Windows, but (in my case solely as a matter of personal preference) on a Macintosh OS/X system. There is now a version of Virtual PC for Windows letting you define multiple Win OS's on the same Intel platform ( I do, in fact, have an older Compaq laptop ), but that means I have to by a newer Intel based laptop with more disk memory the Win Virtual PC software, and I didn't want to spend the $$$ there. Enough of the tedious background...but you do now have a good feel for the situation I looked at several commercial Windows X servers (since I had to use Windows based VPNs) , and all would run under Virtual PC but in true Murphy's form, each had its own problem with the Oracle Universal Installer...fonts, missing buttons, etc. The glitches were well documented around the various Oracle www sites, but no real good solutions were available unless you could get a customer to change their X client setup just for you ( not a point you really want to ask a paying customer), upgrade their Oracle site-wide ( only a few hundred thousand dollars for that one), or you could find V6 of the 'X' server software (which was now on V12..lotsa luck on that one). Then I came across cygwin/X... Now I like free software in my business, it allows me to spend more money on my hobbies. So I downloaded cygwin/X onto two different Virtual PC setups...one is Windows 2000, the other is Windows 98SE. In the case of the basic cygwin, one has to increase the environment space for storing PATH information, etc. Once that was done, cygwin would come up under both Windows OSs, but it was much slower under Win 2000. Next I needed the X software running. For each Windows OS, I tried startxwin.bat startxwin.sh. Sorry to say, these were a no go. The X showed up in the task bar, but no xterm was generated, and no X app would display. I should not say they never worked, startxwin.bat did work completely (1) time in 5 days of trial and error...but it never repeated. So then I went back an extra step.. to the cygwin admin window and entered xinit -- -kb and IT WORKED! It worked on both OSs, but it was much ...much faster in Win 98SE. This was with the VPN running ( my only immediate need is for the Avaya VPN, but I plan to test it with some of the others as well at a later date). After the xterm appeared, I started the Oracle Installer on the remote Sun system using ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/openwin/bin/xterm and then from the Sun xterm, I could run the Installer ( I could have run it directly from ssh, but after the install you usually have to check some things, so I wanted a xterm window ready, willing, and able), and it displayed back on the Mac WITH NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS. So, cygwin/X now lets me run the Oracle software, displayed back to my existing Mac, without having to purchase either a commercial Windows X server ( around $300), or buy a another laptop ($1,000-2,000). And that is the end of my tale

Re: How to detect a broken cygwin mirror?
On 3 Sep, luke replied to Christopher when he wrote: However, since you raise the issue of md5sums, it's hard to see how your mirror could be bad and not have setup.exe complain about an incorrect md5. Righto. I'll write a script to check our mirror, independent of setup.exe. Then check ours, and pick another mirror site if mirrors.kernel.org has broken. (Though I'm not 100% certain that it's the explanation for my Subject: Setup problem: incomplete nonexistent package thread.) Well, I'm running setup now, installing everything, though my check script reveals that 3 packages have problems (not the package that was causing the problem before). $ ~/script/md5cygchk -q /u/mirror/cygwin/release Summary of files with broken checksums: In ./binutils: md5.sum: FAILED md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 6 computed checksums did NOT match In ./check: check-0.8.4-1-src.tar.bz2: FAILED md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 3 computed checksums did NOT match In ./ncurses/libncurses5: libncurses5-5.2-1-src.tar.bz2: FAILED md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 3 computed checksums did NOT match Before, it was failing after a minute (probably after it checked the md5 sigs). Now, it's been happily installing for an hour (in fact it's running the Cygwin postinstall scripts now). Since I told setup to install all, would you expect setup to fail, reporting that at least one of the above packages is broken? Because it isn't complaining... We first rsync-ed from mirrors.kernel.org; that has broken TeXmacs (and more?). Following that we rsync from mirrors.xmission.com, which replaced TeXmacs. But that still leaves us with the three problems reported above. What do you think of this idea, to try to get a good local mirror? (It relies on the fact that rsync will only download missing files, so it's not as horrendous as it may seem at first): for each host in ftp.gwdg.de ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de ftp.kaist.ac.kr mirror.averse.net mirrors.kernel.org mirrors.xmission.com sigunix.cwru.edu do rsync our mirror from the host check our mirror's checksums if check is good, break (otherwise, next in list) Especially if we use the --update option. Unless sluggish mirrors that were way out of date would cause deletion of newer files? Hmm, by my reading, that wouldn't happen unless we specified --delete to rsync. So this may be a good scheme. luke -- 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: Setup problem: incomplete nonexistent package
Here's an executive summary: it's a mystery. It just started working. In slightly more detail, rsync from another site did replace the TeXmacs package. But re-running setup still failed on TeXmacs. Our local mirror is shared via Samba (v 2.2something). Some hours later, with no extra rsyncs (in fact, after no actions of any kind except running the check script), setup.exe worked. I've appended the md5 check script anyway. Should there be an md5.sum file for setup.exe, setup.bz2 and setup.ini? On 3 Sep, luke wrote: I tried again installing from our mirror, and it failed with an incomplete download message on TeXmacs-1.0.3.3-1. I chose not to try again, and then setup terminated with a runtime exception (as it always does in that situation: Runtime exception ... This application has requested that the Runtime terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.). It also left no log files at all under c:/cygwin/var/log (in fact, the directory had not been created), and the next time I ran setup it had not remembered any of the settings I'd chosen. I just tried again and it failed the same way, the same package, and didn't create the log directory so I can't give more details. It did remember my setup settings the 2nd time, though. So, actually, I'm pretty badly off - I have no Cygwin any more (I have an old version of U/Win I've used to collect some of the info above). Oh, speaking of which, here's the U/Win ls and md5sum for our setup directory in our mirror: /cygwin$ ls -l //samba/mirror/cygwin total 1858 drwxrwxr-t 7 322674 262825 512 Sep 1 13:05 mail-archives drwxrwxr-t245 322674 262825 512 Aug 31 18:40 release -rw-rw-r-- 1 322674 262825 79753 Sep 3 02:20 setup.bz2 -rwxrwxr-x 1 322674 262825268800 Apr 26 01:03 setup.exe -rwxrwxr-x 1 322674 262825268800 Oct 7 2003 setup.exe.old -rw-rw-r-- 1 322674 262825331860 Sep 3 02:20 setup.ini drwxrwxr-t 2 322674 262825 512 Apr 4 02:41 tmp /cygwin$ /usr/bin/md5sum.exe //samba/mirror/cygwin/setup.exe 51db88989d4886688ed9241406961b0e //samba/mirror/cygwin/setup.exe luke Also, read about the upset script if you want to have packages on your local server in addition to the mirrored ones. Google for upset script site:cygwin.com. HTH, Igor Thanks, I'll have a look - if I can figure out how to install Cygwin again! The mirror site we are currently using, and which I used last night for the direct attempt, was kernel.org. (I didn't know that I'd chosen the same site that our SysAdmin rsync to make our mirror, when I chose it!) Setup.exe says it's version 2.427. Our mirror is 2.06GB (2,220,822,916 bytes), 2,739 files, 491 folders. Sept 3rd 2004. I'll try another reboot and see if that helps. No joy. We also synced to another mirror and it didn't help.

How to check your local mirror
If you want to check the integrity of your local mirror you might find the attached script useful (as it stands, or as the basis for something you write yourself). The syntax is chk.us mydir where mydir might be /f/Cyg0 or /cygdrive/c/cygmirror or wherever it is you keep the file setup.ini and the directory release/. Note that mydir does not need a closing slash mydir/ but the script will still work if you include it. The mirror that is used for the comparison is ftp://mirrors.rcn.net but you can alter this if you want to. There are 3 parts to what the script does: 1. checks the timestamp on your local setup.ini with the one currently on the mirror; 2. checks that the files you've got match the ones you should have (this just checks the names); 3. checks the md5sum's. The script ends by deleting the temporary listings created in order to make the comparisons. If you keep them instead, and compare tmpf.setup.chk.us.1 with ..3, you'll see a list of the redundant files on your local mirror: you could delete these. Or even pipe the list for automatic deletion, I guess.

Also, I like the idea of detecting that our copy of the mirror is broken (as opposed to just reporting it, and requiring manual observation and may be intervention). Once we get our mirror into a known good state, we could have a secondary mirror that we try to update nightly (maybe rsync-ing from multiple hosts), and only push out to the known good mirror if the checksums on the freshly updated mirror pass the test.

As long as you can't prevent user from calling normal win32 applications (such as as cmd.exe) and win32 APIs (like CreateFile ()) he will be able to accesss any drives on your system you're supposing to prevent him from. Your only gain will be false sense of security.

env -i specialities on cygwin
If one wants to start a new process without an environment, env -i will be the choice. In the cygwin enviroment this leads to problems if /bin or /usr/bin are not added to the PATH in the new process. In this case the cygwin1.dll is not in the path and will not be found be the process that just tries to start. This is true for all other DLLs that may be used by the cygwin executable. There are two options to avoid this: 1) Modify all shell scripts that use env -i to include /usr/bin in the PATH when porting appications to cygwin. This means lots of manual work since shell scripts are often not considered to be dynamic in autoconf/automake runs. 2) Modify the env binary to always include /usr/bin to the path, even if the -i switch is specified. But this will not just allow access to the DLLs but to all executables in the same directory. This may raise security problems. A third solution would be to have all cygwin DLLs in a separate directory where no executables reside. But this would be a more dramatic change to the distribution. Any comments are welcome!

You can see struct stat just fine, but struct stat64 is non-portable.
Just use struct stat -- I believe it's 64-bit in Cygwin anyway.

RE: Problem executing a .bat script in a directory with spaces us ing bash
Since nothing in the batch file refers to the directory, it looks like cmd.exe/command.com received the full path when executed.

I tried specifying the full path to the batch file and it worked for me. YMMV. === /c/tmp /c/Program\ Files/t.bat a b c d e f g h i j k l c:\tmp echo x c:\Program Files\t.bat x x c:\Program Files\t.bat x c:\tmp echo a b c d e f g h i a b c d e f g h i === You might try specifying the full path with short names (8.3) to remove the spaces. The following is XP Pro with NTFS. === /c/tmp /c/progra~1/t.bat a b c c:\tmp echo x c:\progra~1\t.bat x x c:\progra~1\t.bat x c:\tmp echo a b c a b c === If that does not work in your case, you might having bash run a batch file in a directory without spaces and have that batch file call the batch file in the directory with spaces. Although cmd.exe may not receive a properly quoted %0 when called from bash, one would expect cmd.exe to get everything OK when called from cmd.exe. You may have to play with quotes, especially if you try to run a generic batch file. Don't forget to try quoting your double quotes so that cmd.exe gets the double quotes that it expects. Also, you might try other shells (bash, ash, etc.) in case this is shell-specific and not cygwin-specific. You might also try explicitly specifying cmd.exe and command.com, in case they behave differently. - Barry At Thursday, September 02, 2004 10:55 AM, Sean Daley wrote: I'm currently using cygwin 1.5.10 and I'm having a problem trying to run a .bat file in a directory with spaces.

Re: env -i specialities on cygwin
On Fri, 3 Sep 2004, Christian Weinberger wrote: If one want´s to start a new process without an environment, env -i will be the choice. In the cygwin enviroment this leads to problems if /bin or /usr/bin are not added to the PATH in the new process. In this case the cygwin1.dll is not in the path and will not be found be the process that just tries to start. This is true for all other DLLs that may be used by the cygwin executable. Yes, that's the way Windows works. You *have* to have /bin in your PATH if you want the Windows dynamic loader to find your DLL. There are two options to avoid this: 1) Modify all shell scripts that use env -i to include /usr/bin in the PATH when porting appications to cygwin. This means lots of manual work since shell scripts are often not considered to be dynamic in autoconf/automake runs. 2) Modify the env binary to always include /usr/bin to the path, even if the -i switch is specified. But this will not just allow access to the DLLs but to all executables in the same directory. This may raise security problems. Option 2 looks like one that follows the principle of least surprise. Frankly, I don't see how this raises security problems, as the executables can always be accessed directly via /bin/blah.exe or /usr/bin/blah.exe anyway... A third solution would be to have all cygwin DLLs in a separate directory where no executables reside. But this would be a more dramatic change to the distribution. If you want better security (i.e., protection from malicious scripts), use chroot.

my latest -mno-cygwin linking after upgrading gcc fail also,
(I do that automatically with a cronjob and didn't have a look,

but I think it's just missing the libuuid. at least for me.
I have the -luuid together with the other w32api libs,
-lwinmm -lole32 -loleaut32 -lcomctl32
just for the libuuid symbols get I more undefined references to
`_GUID_NULL' _IID_IUnknown, _IID_IPropertyPagem, _IID_IPersist, ...
And what do I find?
there's a new /usr/lib/libuuid.a which takes precedence over
/usr/lib/w32api/libuuid.a
therefore my uuid symbols don't get found.
$ cygcheck -f /usr/lib/libuuid.a
e2fsprogs-1.35-1
aha, the culprit!
please de-install all e2fsprogs, then it will work.
efsprog maintainer: please move this to your subdir
/usr/lib/efsprog/libuuid.a
Thats it, thank you for the analysis, I just thought all the time
after the thread, why are all libraries found, but uuid isn't?
I remember now that I also have e2fsprogs installed and libwin32

Suppose the local download directory of ftp.nas.nasa.gov had version 1.1 of package foo. 2. Suppose another local download directory of ftp.nas.nasa.gov had a more recent version 1.2 of package foo. 3. Suppose package foo is still at version 1.2 on any up to date Cygwin mirror. Then: Does SETUP.EXE check all existing local directories to see which contains the most up to date version of a file before bothering to download it again? Yes. Does SETUP.EXE check only the local directory that matches the mirror it is currently connected to? No. By design, setup searches through all the download directories, keeps track of all the versions, should know exactly what you've already got and never re-download something you already have; if it ever does, it's a bug. There is one caveat: if setup dies - actually crashes or is killed - part-way through downloading a whole series of packages, it may not have updated its catalog by the time it gets terminated, and so it might download them again. But once setup has downloaded and exited successfully, it should know and remember what it's done and not do it again. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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: Perl searching in wrong path for modules?
Hallo Frank, perl looks in the wrong folder for the Perl Modules, for example if i want to load Archive::Zip, it trys to load it from D:\usr\lib\perl5\site_perl\5.8.5\XML\Simple.pm instead of D:\cygwin(\usr)\lib\perl5\site_perl\5.8.5\XML\Simple.pm. So i wonder if this is a bug in cygwin perl or rather a bug in Apache (or a error from my side even?). I attached the cygcheck output, if it matters. My OS is Windows 2000, Apache was 2.0.50, Cygwin is 1.5.10-cr-0x5e6. You may try to install Cygwin in the root of a drive instead of a subdirectory and see if it works then. Basically Cygwin applications use the Cygwin mount system where Windows applicatoins know nothing about, so this problem is by design.

where tooldir should be /usr/i686-pc-mingw32 in this case and you need
to have the symlinks installed in /usr/i686-pc-mingw32:

16 Nov 1 2003 include - ../include/mingw
12 Nov 1 2003 lib - ../lib/mingw
The whole point was that there is stated in binutils ld config
LIB_PATH='${tooldir}/lib/w32api' and the symlink is named
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib and this sysmlink points to ../lib/mingw
which means saying /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib means the same as saying
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/../lib/mingw. When I say now
${tooldir}/lib/w32api it is the same as saying
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/../lib/mingw/w32api which doesn't resolve and I
wonder how this works.
I'm sure it is working since the windows import libraries are included
all the time when you link and they are always in path, removing
libuuid from /usr/lib should do it in the case of the initial starter
and if he needs to have it then moving to another directory should
help. The e2fs maintainer will move it to a subdirectory the next
release.

Therefore, any DLL depending on it won't be dynamically loadable either. The good news is that you can use Cygwin gcc to create MinGW DLLs and programs, and those won't depend on cygwin1.dll, so you'll be able to use them from Windows programs.

12 Nov 1 2003 lib - ../lib/mingw
The whole point was that there is stated in binutils ld config
LIB_PATH='${tooldir}/lib/w32api'
${tooldir}/lib/w32api it is the same as saying
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/../lib/mingw/w32api which doesn't resolve and I
wonder how this works.
Gerrit, the default search path for ld is passed down from the gcc driver,
not compiled into ld. I think this LIB_PATH setting is maybe just used on
the build machine, at the time when compiling a cross-binutils (hence the
test $targ != $host) targetted at mingw, perhaps?

Re: Keeping a local mirror up to date
You can also do what I do. Run rsync and sync up with a mirror. The way I have it configured takes a little but at most maybe about 30 minutes to update every so often. Depends on what has been updated. My sync deleted outdated files (ones that don't need to be there) and downloads new files. It also does checksum runs on the files.

No. By design, setup searches through all the download directories, keeps track of all the versions, should know exactly what you've already got and never re-download something you already have; if it ever does, it's a bug. There is one caveat: if setup dies - actually crashes or is killed - part-way through downloading a whole series of packages, it may not have updated its catalog by the time it gets terminated, and so it might download them again.

how to link without libutil.so? [repost]

So is there some other library that I should use in place of libutil.* on Cygwin? I tried 'ln -s libcygwin.a /usr/lib/libutil.a' (what the hell, it was worth a shot) but it failed.
