[repost] [ITP] unison-2.10.2-1 and unison-gtk2-2.10.2-1
Unison is a file synchroniser for Unix and Windows. It comes in two versions, with a text interface (unison) and GTK2 interface (unison-gtk2). I would like to package and maintain both of these versions for Cygwin. On 9/2 I proposed the unison package, version 2.9.20, and got three +1 votes. I now have an updated version, 2.10.2, and I've also built and packaged the GTK2 version for Cygwin. I don't know if any more approval is required for these two packages. For unison I would expect not, since it was approved in an earlier version. unison-gtk2 might not need separate approval, since it's just the GTK2-interface version of unison. I dunno.

Re: setup 2.427 runtime error
Max, et. al.: Another data point on this. 1. Dropped all current mirrors from my list, added one (mirrors.kernel.org); 2. Set every package except the Cygwin dll to keep/skip; 3. Tried to install -- Same crash at the end of downloading. My SWAG on this is that one of the local data files that tell setup where and what to download has some corrupted data. That might result in an unrecognized scheme being passed to the download progie. If you (y'all) could be so kind as to outline what files save the mirror list AND the list of installed packages, I'll prowl through them and see what I can see. Still and all, it isn't a very graceful way to die. Max Bowsher wrote: Never mind, then. David Cobb still seems able to reproduce - I'll work with him to get it resoved. Max. -- David A.

Re: setup.exe: Unhandled Exception if local copy of package has wrong md5sum but right filesize
This looks like a very plausible candidate for the bug reported by
Kenneth Shaffer on/about 08/28, and possibly the one I griped about
around the same day. Wow, a patch! Fantastic. Can we get a snapshot
build with this sometime RSN?? Right now I'm not real confident in my
own build environment.

Re: Remote logon via XDMCP to Solaris and Linux
On Windows: startxin /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost remote_solaris_host rlogin remote_host setenv DISPLAY local_win_ip xtermamp; The problem is with the value you set DISPLAY to. You want to use the IP address associated with the far end of the VPN. Figuring out that value isn't always easy. Sometimes you can run who at the far end and it will tell you the hostname or IP address it thinks you're connecting from. Also, sometimes the VPN software itself will tell you the far-end IP address if you look at the detailed log as it's bringing up the VPN. _ Dont just search. Find.

Re: Remote logon via XDMCP to Solaris and Linux
One more thing on this subject... If you absolutely cannot figure out what your IP address is at the far-end of the VPN, then you might want to consider running dxpc. The original intent of dcpx was to compress the amount of data transferred between remote X-clients and a local X-server connected via a low-bandwidth connection. However, it has a feature which allows you to setup the connection if you only know the IP address of the machine your connecting to (and don't know the IP address of the machine you're connecting from, which is effectively the case here). I found a pretty good treatment of dcpx here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2374 _ Is your PC infected?

Hosts and X0.hosts
1. Hosts - I have used C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts for a long time on a Windows 2000 terminal server. But for some or another reason the Hosts file suddenly is being deleted from the system, and again as soon as I recreate it. I have tried to limit the file access to system administrator only without succeed. And I haven't found out yet if there can be or have been installed some kind of antivirus or spyware program that detects the Hosts file as a virus file and cause that it is being deleted. a) Has someone experienced this before or any idea to solve it? I saw that C:\cygwin\etc\Hosts was a link to the above Hosts file. Because of the above problem, I replaced the link with the real Hosts file itself. Now I try to create a remote connection from a cygwin/X xterm using the following procedure: startxwin.bat xterm X :2 -query remote_hostname The system reports and exit the command in the xterm as follows. Fatal server error: Xserver: -query unknown host: remote_hostname b) Doesn't Cygwin/X read this latter Hosts file? 2. X0.hosts To let queried remote xdm/dtlogin/gdm/kdm get access to the local Cygwin X server, I wonder if the syntax for the content in C:/cygwin/etc/X0.hosts should be remote_hostname only or remote_hostname +, alternatively remote_host_ip only or remote_host_ip +?

RE: 1.5.10: expr + configure failure + testcase (also on 1.5.11-1)
Chris, Pierre, I was thinking the same thing but AFAIK, ash doesn't have the pid recycling problem. In my failure cases, configure is run under bash. I have also captured (finally?) an strace under the ~current cygwin (attached). The details are largely the same as Peter's last attachment, to which Igor remarked FWIW, expr.exe does seem to exit with the right exit code, but is later zombified, which doesn't sound quite right. Actually, its ok for it to be zombified, because the parent didn't happen to be waiting for the child at the time that the child exited. Pierre's observation that error text is output by the parent shell *before* the expr command even executes was an inspiration. So it seems like the parent shell decides its going to exit after forking but before waiting on the expr process. This is consistent across all my straces as well as Peter's. In my attached trace, this is between lines 582 and 750; I also noticed the following: 84 16461744 [main] bash 1048 close: close (1) 1378 16461829 [main] bash 2028 close: close (1) On line 725 and 726. By the time my trace got to line 750, the parent shell had stated to output the error text (53 characters in my case). I have another trace that exhibits this too. Peter's trace does not have this. In my trace (not Peter's) there are also some lines like: 324 16458452 [main] bash 1048 fhandler_base::set_no_inheritance: DuplicateHandle failed, The parameter is incorrect. 237 16458689 [main] bash 1048 fhandler_base::set_close_on_exec: set close_on_exec for /dev/console to 1 In the time between the fork and the beginning of the error write, but this is not unique to the trace and it was handled apparently ok previously in the script. Wasn't there a registry value that controlled how pids were allocated? I can't find anything appropriate in google. I looked for something about this in M$ knowledge base. I didn't find that, but I found this: BUG: Registry access from multiple threads might fail (WinNT, Win2K) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;176906 -bogdan -- 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: HELP: How to disable killing of Bash Shell window with mouse?
Thorsten Kampe schrieb: * Pekka Niiranen (2004-09-13 18:19 +0200) Killing Cygwin Shell Window with mouse leaves bash.exe running. which can be seen from W2K task manager. How can I disable X -button from the Shell Windows so that the user is forced to TYPE exit on command prompt? Recompiling? Recompile what? Cmd exe? Bash is a shell and knows nothing about the Windows Console X button. Show them [Ctrl-d] which is anyway faster than grabbing the mouse. If they still do it - hit 'em on the head with a stick and let them write a thousand time I won't ever try to close a shell with my mouse. I don't think that the question is really that stupid. People are used to the mouse. So, shouldn't the KILL message be propagated to its child process? bash could react then. Or is it only propagated if bash would register itself as an (invisible) window, just to receive those parent messages? Just on --login of course. If so, it should be added IMHO. I know it's stupid, but bash is the most used login shell, which should react somehow. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ -- 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/

Program terminates with cygheap version mismatch detected
I've been using Cygwin for a few years to port code written for Linux systems to Windows systems. Thanks to the developers and supporters for providing such wonderful software.

The details are largely the same as Peter's last attachment, to which Igor remarked FWIW, expr.exe does seem to exit with the right exit code, but is later zombified, which doesn't sound quite right. Actually, its ok for it to be zombified, because the parent didn't happen to be waiting for the child at the time that the child exited. Pierre's observation that error text is output by the parent shell *before* the expr command even executes was an inspiration. So it seems like the parent shell decides its going to exit after forking but before waiting on the expr process. That is consistent with the recycled pid problem. Are you seeing duplicated pids? Wasn't there a registry value that controlled how pids were allocated? I can't find anything appropriate in google. I looked for something about this in M$ knowledge base.

Win XP SP2: cvs over ssh problems
My XP machine at work was just upgraded to SP2. Now I'm having problems accessing a cvs repository on a linux box over ssh. Everything was working fine until this SP2 upgrade. I can access the cvs host via ssh normally (although in a possibly related matter, ssh sometimes seems to be a character behind when using vi remotely -- has anyone else noticed that behavior?

Can someone try the snapshot please? Tried it, and I'm not able to open a shell with it. I have rebooted, so it's not some stray old process holding on to the previous dll. What I did: bunzip2 of the snapshot dll, shut down all cygwin processes, swapped in the snapshot dll as /bin/cygwin1.dll, ran the cygwin shortcut. The cmd window appears and disappears. So then I tried to reboot, but no effect.

Also unison/ssh [Re: Win XP SP2: cvs over ssh problems]
I get similar symptoms with unison over ssh: It worked great before SP2 (i.e. 2 hours ago). After I installed SP2 on the client, unison/ssh just hangs.

Bizarre behaviour of make --win32
Afternoon folks, When I use make with the --win32 flag, it is supposed to use cmd.exe rather than sh.exe to spawn the command lines that are used to build a target, isn't it? For some strange reason, however, its behaviour varies according to whether or not the command line includes stdout redirection. It appears to be using sh.exe, regardless of the --win32 flag. But if I add stdout redirection to the command in question, it uses cmd.exe. As it happens, in my particular setup this then causes it to fail in a fairly amusing fashion with ntvdm trying to execute what are very clearly ascii chars rather than opcodes, because cmd isn't able to follow a cygwin symlink, but that's a side issue. The point is that I want to get consistent behaviour. So, a couple of quick questions, just to confirm I'm not barking up a tree other than the right one: 1) Is this the right place for discussing the --win32 flag? It doesn't seem to exist in the upstream gnu sources, so I was wondering if it's a cygwin speciality, or if I should take it up with mingw? 2) Is this behaviour known / intended / understood? 3) Would anyone like to see my (very) minimal testcase? 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/

Marcus, First off, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR. Thanks. Secondly, the /etc/services file seems ok, but in Cygwin it's actually a symlink to the one in the Windows system directory. Do you have the symlink on your system, or is /etc/services a file? If it's a file, Windows (in particular, winsock) won't be aware of it.

Re: Installation hangs because asks for input from terminal (Attn: tetex maintainer, setup maintainer)
Corinna Vinschen writes: Corinna, since the tetex settings are so dependent of environment variables and since the environment variables are shared with different tetex implementations, wouldn't it be better to split the tetex installation into two files? First, the postinstall script, which doesn't depend on these variables, and second, a still-to-be-created tetex-config script, similar to curl-config, exim-config, etc, and which has to be started by the user manually? This would not change very much. With Igor's patch, this is effectively what happens now. The script users should run, is texconfig (as noted in the README). The situation would get a little bit better for computer savvy users (those who have installed an alternative TeX version) but would get far worse for novices.

Re: zsh hangs with command not found (Peter A. Castro?)
On Sun, 12 Sep 2004, Thorsten Kampe wrote:
Greetings Thorsten,
I see you are still fighting with this problem.
Thanks for the traces. Unfortinately, they don't provide much beyond
what was previously documented for this problem. I don't think it has to
do with process creation. If that were the case, every command or script
invocation would have a 10 second delay before it actually ran.
However, we have seen problems in the past having to do with process
signaling (SIGCHLD for example) and read blocking on pipes between a
parent child. Supposedly those have been resolved, but perhaps they've
resurfaced.
I still can't reproduce it, however.
You might be able to see if it's the parent shell or child shell which
is hanging. When the hang occurs, in another window, do a 'ps' and see
how many shell processes are running. Do the 'ps' several times rapidly
during this exercise to ensure you get an accurate time picture of
events. If the child comes up and quickly disappears, yet the parent is
still in the hung state, then it's likely the signaling problem again
(or an interaction between read blocking a signaling). Or, perhaps you
see a long delay before the child even appears, which might indicate the
parent is getting stuck on a resource...possibly directory lookup.
I presume strace still causes the problem to go away? If so, it's more
indication of a timing bug.
* Thorsten Kampe (2004-09-12 16:59 +0200)
This is a follow-up to the thread zsh 4.1.1-3 on W2000 hangs with
command not found from March 2004.
Facts:
Cygwin 1.5.12s(0.116/4/2) 20040907 00:06:12
zsh 4.2.0
Windows XP SP2
Problem:
zsh hangs about ten seconds when I try to execute a nonexistant
command (bash in comparison returns immediately).
Even unsetting all environment variables inherited from Windows and
deleting my .zshrc didn't make any difference.
Changes to march:
Specifying an absolute path ('/bin/foobar') and unsetting 'correct'
and 'correctall' make no difference anymore.
* Now I tried to analyze my problem with File Monitor from
SysInternals. I captured two filtered sessions: one with zsh executing
foozsh and one with bash executing foobash (both attached).
Things I noticed:
bash queries 88 items while zsh queries 123. This shouldn't explain
the ten second difference.
zsh spawns a new instance/process of zsh (pid 224) on line 29! Until
this line the query results show up with no delay in File Monitor.
The next 98 lines show up with the ten second delay.
So either the starting of a new zsh instance/process is so terribly
slow or the new zsh process searches (for whatever reason) much much
slower than the first one.
I've examined the output further: it's in fact the creation of a new
process that takes the time. Compare these two snippets (one with
difference time and one with absolute clock time):

Interestingly File Monitor shows the delay always between line 28 and
29 when set to differential time (which is exactly the creation of a
new process) and between line 24 and 25 when set to clock time
(maybe a bug?)

Earl, Thanks for the comments. I considered some of the things you suggested, but for the moment, I'm holding off on anything other than minor changes to the existing source. Let me again point out that a cygwin program shouldn't be doing *ANY OF THIS*. It shouldn't be calling GetFileSize and it shouldn't be calling CreateFile. cgf Agreed... however, the e2fsprogs code itself is what's making these calls :-/ In other words, whoever did the initial port of e2fsprogs to Cygwin (Ted Ts'o, from the ChangeLog entries) decided, for some reason, to make use of native Win32 calls instead of using stat/ statfs. Since the only ChangeLog entry for Cygwin is dated from 2003-04-18, it's possible that he ran into problems with Cygwin the current state of the Cygwin code and felt the need to fall back on Win32 natives (probably for large file support, since the code made an explicit call to GetFileSizeEx...) I'm going to look at the code, and see if the existing state of Cygwin is such that the non-windows code path in getfile.c can be used instead. If/when that happens, I'll feed patches back upstream, along with comments, so the next release of the e2fsprogs package can be built without any annoying bits like this... but it's going to have to remain in there for the near future. -Samrobb -- 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/

1.5.11 on XP: spaces in HOME and my resolution
I just downloaded and installed the latest (2 days old, at the time I write this) version of Cygwin. I had several issues relating back to my Home directory having spaces from my XP profile; mostly from external apps such as KDE. I expect this is known, and I have looked it up in the archives and in Google, but whether or not there is curently a resolution is not clear. Below is my fix in the hopes that it is helpful (I couldn't find anything similar as I searched.) First, however, it appears that this is not supposed to be the standard behavior. According to this post: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00111.html it seems that this behavior is attributed to a HOME directory being set in the environment. In my case, this is not so, as you can see from the attached cygcheck output. If I install cygwin and run Bash on a clean machine, the path with spaces is already set in etc/passwd as below, so I changed it to the short filename version and that fixed most of the issues I was having. NBRYANT:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:198884:10545:NBRYANT,U-WFBS\NBRYANT,S-1-5-21-[r emoved]:/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/NBRYANT:/bin/bash In the archives, I found mention that setting this in the cygwin.bat file is a bad idea because of the possibility of mixing up docume~1 and docume~2, etc. If this is the only issue with short file names, then I submit my modified cygwin.bat file. == @echo off IF NOT DEFINED HOME ( for %%x IN (%USERPROFILE%) DO (set HOME=%%x) if NOT %HOME%==%USERPROFILE% ( if %OS%==Windows_NT ( for /D %%x IN (%USERPROFILE%) DO (set HOME=%%~fsx) ) ) ) C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i %1 == This will set the HOME variable in the shell to the shortfilename version of %USERPROFILE% and should work in any version of NT (I've only tried it in XP, and it works just fine.) It cleared up my issues with KDE and other software instantly. I typed this up only in the hopes of contributing something to your excellent project ... if it is counterproductive or actually has been addressed, I apologize.

Re: Problem executing a .bat script in a directory with spaces us ing bash
I'm not sure how Sean is trying to launch the batch file (ie, from a batch file, or compiled executable, etc) so how you would get a sfn would vary (and I can only really speak on the Win side), but if you know the batch exists, [cygpath -d path\file.bat] should give it in a usable manner. PS, Sean, since I have it open at the moment, I pass this on to you; On the chance that you are calling your batch files from batch files (which is probably the hardest to get a short file name in), and that you are running NT, the following might help you. The following two lines are essentially equivalent in Batch; except that the second will shorten the file name for the batch file -- oddly enough, leaving the unquoted parameters intact (though, probably not in all situations). = set Parameters=quote this any /way \you -want %USERPROFILE%\doit.bat %Parameters% @for %%x IN (%USERPROFILE%\doit.bat) DO %%~fsx %Parameters% = The first line breaks under most conditions at the first space. The second one is pretty resiliant. It will shorten even nonexistant filenames (though it will only shorten the existing part), and you can use DO or DO CALL as you wish.

Re: Bizarre behaviour of make --win32
On Sep 14, 4:01pm, Dave Korn wrote: -- Subject: Bizarre behaviour of make --win32 It appears to be using sh.exe, regardless of the --win32 flag. But if I add stdout redirection to the command in question, it uses cmd.exe. -- End of excerpt from Dave Korn On non-Cygwin, UNIX platforms, GNU make will optimize away the shell invocation for simple commands, which are identified by lack of known shell metacharacters (like ). For example, foo bar baz would be executed directly, using something like execvp(), but foo bar baz would run /bin/sh -c foo bar baz. If the Makefile sets the SHELL make variable to something other than the default /bin/sh, then this opimization is disabled: GNU make conservatively assumes that it has no idea about the syntax for the nonstandard shell, ignores potential metacharacters, and just always runs $(SHELL) -c command. This can have performance implications, as you might imagine. I don't know offhand what happens with --win32, but the difference in behavior with stdout redirection that you report is probably related to this optimization. I thought --win32 was supposed to use cmd.exe, but I don't know what the equivalent of execvp() would be for simple commands, or if make --win32 knows about cmd.exe metacharacters.

My need is I need to install it onto a machine that doesn't have Internet access. I'm thinking I can download install on to one machine, and then burn that whole directory to CD and then copy it to the other machine. I'd guess I'd need to set its PATH.

RE: 1.5.10: expr + configure failure + testcase (also on 1.5.11-1)
Pierre,
FYI, I lauched that script last evening, it's now at
iteration 6441. That's on NT4 with a 2 day old cygwin dll
built from cvs.
I have seen all the latest e-mails in this thread and the plea
to use the new snapshot.
So you are not using the new snapshot, yet do not see the failure, correct?
Chris Johns on the RTEMS list reported that my configure line did not fail on his
MinGW system as readily as his configure line; his
line fails just as well on my system, so we've adopted it as the default now.
Please replace the fail() with the following in test-configure:
fail () {
${configure_test} -n \
--prefix=/opt/rtems \
--with-multisubdir=m68000 \
--with-multisrctop= \
--with-multibuildtop= \
--prefix=/opt/rtems \
--host=m68k-rtems \
--build=i686-pc-mingw32 \
--target=m68k-rtems \
--enable-multilib \
--enable-doc \
--enable-cxx \
--enable-posix \
--enable-networking \
--disable-tests \
--disable-itron \
--with-target-subdir=m68k-rtems \
--exec-prefix=/opt/rtems/m68k-rtems \
--cache-file=/dev/null \
build_alias=i686-pc-mingw32 \
host_alias=m68k-rtems \
target_alias=m68k-rtems \
CC='m68k-rtems-gcc --pipe -m68000' \
--cache-file=/dev/null
}
and make another run, hopefully *before* you install the snapshot.
So far on the rtems-list, reports of the configure problem have implicated Win98/WinME
and Win2K. No failure was reported
MinGW/WinXP. I'm still waiting to hear from others.
By the way, I never got a chance to respond to your request for a simpler test case.
Believe me, I tried. The exhaustive/iterative
method was the best I could do to come close to quickly returning a failure if the
problem existed. On my system, I'd have a better
than 1:2 chance of getting a failure, but other people reported different results.
It would *never* fail, if all you did was a few expr and tests. The whole configure
script machinery appears necessary to setup the
failure mode.
Thanks,

Anyway, the attached script (test-configure) will create the above

BTW, checking for reused PIDs is a trace is very easy:
fgrep Program the_trace
