DESCRIPTION:

Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
for UNIX, MSDOS, VMS, and many other platforms.  The software is copyrighted
but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it).  It was
originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists
and students to visualize mathematical functions and data.  Gnuplot
supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
easily extensible to include new devices.  [ The 'GNU' in gnuplot is
NOT related to the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just a
coincidence (and a long story; see the gnuplot FAQ for details). Thus
gnuplot is not covered by the Gnu copyleft, but rather by its own
copyright statement, included in all source code files.]

Gnuplot handles both curves (2 dimensions) and surfaces (3
dimensions). Surfaces can be plotted as a mesh fitting the specified
function, floating in the 3-d coordinate space, or as a contour plot
on the x-y plane. For 2-d plots, there are also many plot styles,
including lines, points, lines with points, error bars, and impulses
(crude bar graphs). Graphs may be labeled with arbitrary labels and
arrows, axes labels, a title, date and time, and a key.  The interface
includes command-line editing and history on most platforms.

Below you find list of news, changes and fixes in gnuplot version 4.0
and older.

Please see also section What is New in Version 4.0 in gnuplot documentation
(files gnuplot.gih, gnuplot.hlp, gnuplot.inf, etc.) available by the command
gnuplot help new
from gnuplot 4.0. You may find it also in files gnuplot.pdf, gnuplot.html
or gnuplot.info optionally available in your distribution, or online at
http://www.gnuplot.info/docs/gnuplot.html#What_is_New_in_Version_4.0


Mouse and hotkey support in screen terminals

  The pm, x11, ggi and windows terminals support interactive work with mouse
  and hotkeys. The usage of the mouse is mainly self-explanatory. Just type 'h'
  in the graph window (hereafter we mean either PM, X11, ... terminal window)
  and a short overview of commands will pop up. The mouse is turned on and off
  with the hotkey 'm'. See 'help mouse' and 'help bind' for more details.

  The coordinates of mouse clicks are exported to variables MOUSE_X, MOUSE_Y,
  MOUSE_X2, MOUSE_Y2, and MOUSE_BUTTON accessible from the gnuplot command
  line. This allows gnuplot scripts to alter their behaviour based on
  interactive mouse input. See 'help mouse variables' and 'help pause mouse',
  and the example script demo/mousevariables.dem. Further it allows interaction
  of a gnuplot mouseable terminal and external programs in C, Python, Octave,
  etc. using gnuplot as their graph engine. This is demonstrated on gnuplot web
  page in section Programming interfaces - bidirectional interaction.


Brief list of news in gnuplot 4.0:

* CHANGE sample calculated smooth csplines only in actual xrange
* CHANGE 'set term gif' compile-time option to write PNG format instead
* CHANGE pattern fill styles are uniform across all supporting terminals
* CHANGE X-window plot and font size is used to adjust plot layout
* CHANGE 'set key {on|off|default}' is preferred method for controlling key
* CHANGE mouse position is tracked in all X windows (not just current one)
* NEW enhanced text mode for additional terminal types
* NEW built-in function 'defined(variablename)'
* NEW mouse input information is exported to user-accessible variables
* NEW 'set term png' and 'set term jpeg' using modern GD library
* NEW set size ratio now works for splots, too
* NEW grid options: {layerdefault | front | back}
* NEW plot option smooth frequency
* NEW terminal names now sorted alphabetically
* NEW with palette also for points
* NEW plotstyle with filledcurves
* NEW 'set style fill' applies to boxes, boxxyerror, boxerror, candlesticks
* NEW set boxwidth number relative
* NEW options to FIG terminal driver
* NEW parse errors in datafile reading now show the culprit
* NEW labels can be printed attached to a point
* FIXED interaction of set xtics incr  with time/date axes
* FIXED candlesticks now ignore order of high/low entries
* FIXED keeping old arrow options if new set command modifies it
* FIXED undoing a mouse zoom that started from autoscaled axis
* FIXED contour line

DESCRIPTION:

A graphics library for fast image creation

CYGWIN NEWS:

* Update to latest upstream release.

gd NEWS
===

What's new in version 2.0.28?

* GIF support has been restored. See gdImageGif, gdImageGifCtx, gdImageGifPtr,
gdImageCreateFromGif, gdImageCreateFromGifCtx, and
gdImageCreateFromGifPtr. These functions are now thread-safe, similar to the PNG
and JPEG manipulation functions.
* The new gdImageCreatePaletteFromTrueColor function is identical to
gdImageTrueColorToPalette, except that it returns a new image rather than
permanently modifying the original.

What's new in version 2.0.27?

* In gd 2.0.26, there was potential for out of bounds fills, and therefore crashes,
in the horizontalLine function used by gdImageFilledPolygon.
Fixed by John Ellson.
* The order of the points returned in the bounding rectangle by gdImageStringFT was
incorrect in version 2.0.26. This has been corrected in version
2.0.27. Thanks to Riccardo Cohen for pointing this out, and to John Ellson for
verifying and fixing it.

What's new in version 2.0.26?

The following enhancements and fixes:
* Drastically faster, less memory-intensive antialiased drawing, thanks to
Pierre-Alain Joye. This code was imported from the PHP fork of gd. The
API for antialiased drawing has not changed, however the implementation has been
completely replaced. Antialiased line drawing does not support
widths other than 1, however this did not work properly with the other
implementation of antialiasing either. Support has been included for the
non-blending color option introduced by the previous implementation of
antialiased drawing.
* gdlib-config, which has been installed by make install for some time now, has
gained a --features option. This option produces a space-separated
list of optional features with which the gd library was compiled. Typical usage
looks like this:

% gdlib-config --features
GD_XPM GD_JPEG GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF

Other configure scripts can conveniently define preprocessor symbols based on this
list in order to conditionally compile code. For instance, if
GD_PNG is not reported by --features, then gdImagePng is not included in the
library.

Thanks to Lars Hecking and Lincoln Stein for their advice on implementing this
feature. Any blame for the actual implementation is entirely due to
me (TBB).
* Fixes to the behavior of the bounding rectangle returned by gdImageStringFT and
relatives when the string is rotated. See fontwheeltest.c. Thanks
to John Ellson.
* Previously, gdImageStringFT and friends accepted either a full path to a font
file, or the name of a font with no extension, in which case the
GDFONTPATH environment variable and then the compiled-in DEFAULT_FONTPATH was
searched. In addition, a font filename with an extension but no full
path can now be automatically searched for in the same fashion. Thanks to John
Ellson.
* Fixes to freetype antialiased text against a transparent background. See testtr.c.
Thanks to John Ellson.
* Support for named entities like amp; and hex-coded entities such as #x6C34; in
text strings passed to gdImageStringFT and relatives, adding to
the previous support for decimal-coded entities like #197;. These were extracted
from entities.html (from the W3C) via the script entities.tcl,
which is included for the curious and those with other entities they need support
for. Thanks to John Ellson.
* Optimization: gdImageSetPixel no longer calls gdImageAlphaBlend when either the
source or the destination pixel is 100% transparent. Thanks to
John Ellson.
* Optimization: gdImageLine is potentially faster now in the most common cases.
Thanks to John Ellson.
* Documentation of the entities feature of gdImageStringFT.
* autoconf/configure fixes. Thanks to many who pointed out an oversight in handling
libpng flags.

Re: unison-2.10.2-1 and unison-gtk2-2.10.2-1

2004-09-21 Thread Schulman . Andrew

 I have done a Cygwin package of LablGtk now, just add the Cygwin
 specific README and sign it with your name, if there are no objections
 it will be included in the netrelease and unison-gtk2 is GTG, once we
 found the reason why I needed to apply the beloow changes.  Fetch the

I decided to go ahead and build a lablgtk2 package myself, so I can

I've built the package, but now I have a problem: if I strip
/usr/lib/ocaml/lablgtk2/lablgtktop.exe, then when I run

If I don't strip lablgtktop.exe, then I don't get this error.  I can't
find any documentation about what the '-w s' option does, but I believe
it's supposed to be passed on to the OCaml compiler.

there a workaround?  Do I need the -w option at all?  Sorry, but I know

Yes, don't strip ocaml executables -- they have embedded bytecode, and
stripping screws them up (as I've learned the hard way).

Yes and no, no workaround, well there are always two possibilities to
compile ocaml code, build the slow pure binary or the faster native
ocaml binary.  Since I'm not an OCaml expert, maybe the Cygwin OCaml
maintainer or the upstream LablGTK maintainer can tell us more?

[ITP] lablgtk2-2.4.0-1

2004-09-21 Thread Andrew Schulman

I want to package and maintain LablGTK2 for Cygwin.  LablGTK2 is an OCaml 
interface to GTK2.

Homepage: http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/soft/olabl/lablgtk.html

License:  Specified separately for three parts of the supplied source code.  
Here is what the file COPYING from the source distribution says:

src/ directory: This library is made available under the LGPL, with the same 
exception as specified in the Objective Caml distribution, to allow freely 
static linking.  You should have got a copy of the LGPL and this exception 
with Objective Caml.  Since OCaml is now part of the Cygwin distribution, I 
assume that these terms are acceptable.

examples/ directory: you may freely take inspiration from the code, and copy 
parts of it in your application.  This is a vague but apparently free 
license.

applications/ directory: free for personal use; redistribution only as is; 
Binary distribution and bug fixes are allowed, but you cannot extensively 
modify the code without asking the authors.  Clearly non-free; but see below.

I am not building anything in either the examples or applications directories, 
so I don't think these licenses should present a problem.  However if it 
would be preferable, I can simply remove either or both of them from the 
source package, and add an explanatory note for users.

2004-09-21 Thread Schulman . Andrew

Okay, thank you Gerritt for your careful review of the unison-gtk2
package.

  unison-gtk2:

 This is difficult to test without having a ready to run LablGtk
 package.

Agreed.  I posted the ITP for lablgtk2 earlier today.  I've now revised
the build instructions, which are much simpler on the assumption that
the user can just install the lablgtk2 package.  Basically it all boils
down now to installing the source package and required dependencies
(including lablgtk2), and then running

make OSCOMP=cygwingnuc UISTYLE=gtk2

 Then, accoprding to your README, there are needed for the build:
 gmodule-2.0.lib
 glib-2.0.lib
 gdk-win32-2.0.lib
 gtk-win32-2.0.lib

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea to depend on third party
 libraries.  Rebuilding is really difficult with this prerequisites.

Agreed.  Thanks for your patch to Makefile.OCaml, which removes the need
to fetch these files separately.

 What else to mention is that my unison-gtk2 executable is
 linked also against libncurses.

Strange; I wonder why.  Can you tell me, what is a command to list all
of the dependencies of an executable?  I assume there is one, and I
probably knew it once...

I've corrected and reuploaded my unison-gtk2 package files.  Except for
possibly correcting setup.hint to add a dependency on libncurses, I
believe they're now ready for upload:

One thing to note (and I haven't noticed it before myself) is that my
build of ocaml contains labltk -- will they conflict?  Also, you will
probably need to include bits of the ocaml sources in your lablgtk2 source

It's up to you.  I'm guessing this is supposed to enable clean execution
of lablgtk2 (i.e., no extraneous messages), so you probably do need it.

One last note is that the current release of ocaml doesn't support dynamic
library loads, so a lot of examples don't work (details upon request).
I'm working on fixing this, but if anyone has suggestions on how to enable
shared library support, I'd be interested in hearing them.

Hello Reini,


 unsolved problems:
 * mod_auth_dbm fails to build
I vaguely remember any dirty hacks on linux with the find-dbm helper.
 I have most berkeley db's and gdbm installed, but it refuses to build,
 which sense from a quick glance, because it tries to #include ndbm.h
 and not the found dbm lib include file (here gdbm.h.

It was already included somewhere by Stipe, however it failed because
the used script was buggy, I always hardcode the dependency in some
other config file, cannot remember the actual name right now.


 * mod_digest fails to load (probably a dependent dll not found)

Hmmm.

 otherwise it builds and runs just fine.

Re: unison-2.10.2-1 and unison-gtk2-2.10.2-1

2004-09-21 Thread Andrew Schulman

I decided to go ahead and build a lablgtk2 package myself, so I can
reasonably maintain it in the future.

One thing to note (and I haven't noticed it before myself) is that my
build of ocaml contains labltk -- will they conflict?

No, I don't think so. lablgtk2 goes entirely into /usr/lib/ocaml/lablgtk2
and /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs, plus one file /usr/bin/lablgtk2.

Also, you will
probably need to include bits of the ocaml sources in your lablgtk2 source
package -- do we want to replicate this?

I'm not sure what you mean. The user will have to install ocaml first in
order to build from source. Is anything more required?

Here's a (reformatted) excerpt from driver/main_args.ml in the ocaml
sources:
-w, Arg.String F._w,
flags Enable or disable warnings according to flags:
A/a enable/disable all warnings
C/c enable/disable suspicious comment
D/d enable/disable deprecated features
E/e enable/disable fragile match
F/f enable/disable partially applied function
L/l enable/disable labels omitted in application
M/m enable/disable overriden method
P/p enable/disable partial match
S/s enable/disable non-unit statement
U/u enable/disable unused match case
V/v enable/disable hidden instance variable
X/x enable/disable all other warnings
default setting is Ale
(all warnings but labels and fragile match enabled)

So it looks like -w s disables non-unit statement warnings.

OK, thanks. I couldn't find this.

Questions: should I just give up on stripping the executable? Or is
there a workaround? Do I need the -w option at all? Sorry, but I know
almost nothing about OCaml or LablGTK.

It's up to you. I'm guessing this is supposed to enable clean execution
of lablgtk2 (i.e., no extraneous messages), so you probably do need it.

OK. I may fool around with it to see how many errors I get if I strip the
exe and remove '-w s', but I'm inclined to leave it alone.
One last note is that the current release of ocaml doesn't support dynamic
library loads, so a lot of examples don't work (details upon request).
I'm working on fixing this, but if anyone has suggestions on how to enable
shared library support, I'd be interested in hearing them.

OK. No obvious problem there for my package, since I'm not building the
examples.

Thanks,
Andrew.

 I'm not sure what you mean.  The user will have to install ocaml first in

Is that ocaml source, or ocaml binary package?  The tradition for
Cygwin packages is to either have self-contained sources, or to share the
sources for some packages (via the external-source: directives).  It's
unusual for one source package to depend on another.  Although...  The
cygwin source package depends on the mingw and w32api sources, so I
guess it would be ok.

  Here's a (reformatted) excerpt from driver/main_args.ml in the ocaml
  sources:
   -w, Arg.String F._w,
  flags  Enable or disable warnings according to flags:
  [snip]
 S/s enable/disable non-unit statement
  [snip]
  So it looks like -w s disables non-unit statement warnings.

 OK, thanks.  I couldn't find this.

FWIW, you can get the same output from ocamlmktop -help or ocaml
-help.

  Questions:  should I just give up on stripping the executable?  Or is
  there a workaround?  Do I need the -w option at all?  Sorry, but I know

Oops.  This was too vague.  The it's up to you part was for the -w
option -- I think you can't really strip ocaml executables and expect them
to work.  Don't strip.

 OK.  I may fool around with it to see how many errors I get if I strip the
 exe and remove '-w s', but I'm inclined to leave it alone.

Wise decision.

  One last note is that the current release of ocaml doesn't support dynamic

  I'm working on fixing this, but if anyone has suggestions on how to enable

Great.  No objections from me, then.  As soon as it's reviewed...

The no font fixed problem

2004-09-21 Thread luke . kendall

The problem with X not running because of the error no font 'fixed'
has been around so long that some months ago a I scripted a post-install
fixup, based on
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof

FWIW, here's the output on a machine we installed Cygwin on today.
You'll note that most of the theories about the cause of the problem
were incorrect in this case:

Now trying to workaround the new X installation problem
Hmm, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts exists.  So much for that theory.
Hmm, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc exists too.  So much for that theory.
Hmm, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc had plenty of fonts (446, actually)
Checking for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts mount point...
D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmo
de)
Unmounting /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts in preparation for fix
Now re-running setup: you will need to choose RE-INSTALL for each
of the X11 font sets (about 4 sets) under the X11 category.
**
Lets try starting X to see if it now works.  If you have to
kill any of these attempts, you can continue from where you left off
by using the try-X script.
**

 etc.

So, the FAQ entry's theories don't seem to match the real cause,
whatever that may be.  I assume this problem has been affecting
everyone, for months now, not just us?  Or have I missed something?


Here's the fixup script that generates the above output.  The yorn
script just asks for and examines a y/n answer.

PseudoColor emulation working.

2004-09-21 Thread Sebastian

Hey fellow developers,
Following up my last post regarding pseudocolor emulation and my ideas to fix it, 
here's an update.

I've modified the XWin server and running pseudocolor applications in an XWin window 
running ontop a 16/32bpp windows desktop is now possible, using shadow gdi rendering, 
it's however not possible to run both truecolor and pseudocolor apps at the same time.

When using the -emulatepseudo flag, XWin now opens a window on the desktop with the 
same depth as the windows desktop however the shadow DIB that's allocated  is 8bpp and 
only a pseudocolor visual is created. BitBlt() (win32 function) does all the color 
conversion and the like.
I haven't tested this thoroughly with different pseudocolor apps, just the one i had 
to get working.

The ToDo-list mentions Emulate PseudoColor on TrueColor this is not what this 
modification does as it doesn't let you run truecolor apps simultaneously.

What i plan to do next, in case of spare time, is to allocate both a 8bpp DIB and a 
truecolor DIB and point these to their corresponding visuals, let the applications 
draw to them, then BitBlt() the DIBs to the XWin window (using a different 
raster-operation code), dunno if this is possible but it's worth a shot.

When not supplying the -emulatepseudo flag the server works just like before.

Is there any interest to merge my changes into the XWin source-tree? Please supply 
information on how this can be done.

Cheers,

 Well whenever I select in just the terminal from the kde desktop whatever is

You're refering to KDEs terminal here? I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Doh! problem solved was Re: bug? - startxwin.bat missing from recent Cygwin install

2004-09-21 Thread John Hebert

I apologize for not reading the install section in the
excellent Cygwin/X User's Guide more closely.

I missed two packages during the setup.

Is it possible to rename these two packages:

X-start-menu-icons
X-startup-scripts 

so that they match the other packages (xorg-x11...) so
they would appear in the same section during setup?
I'll bet I'm not the only noob making the same
mistake.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

regtool quoting variations on output

2004-09-21 Thread luke . kendall

A script broke today because regtool reported a key's value with
extra double quotes around it.

I also observed that whether or not a path was reported with a trailing
\ varied from one machine to the other.  Both were using regtool ver
1.8.

stout is Windows XP, percy is Windows 2000.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/x/cygnus/cisra
$ regtool -q get \\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Office\\10.0\\Word\\InstallRoot\
\Path
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\


[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ regtool -q get \\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Office\\8.0\\Word\\InstallRoot\\
Path
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

Visual inspection of the above key in regedit on percy (W2K) showed that
its value had no double-quotes in the registry.  Visual inspection on
stout (WXP) also showed no double-quotes around the path (though it did
have the trailing backslash, just as regtool reported).

I can change my script to pipe the output from regtool through
sed 's/^//;s/$//', but that seems like a kludge to me.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

luke

  I'm trying to build a Cygwin hosted GDB for debugging ARM and PowerPC

   BTW, when discussing compile problems with gnu packages, you should always

1) Use setup.exe to download the gdb source.
2) mkdir /tmp/build
3) cd /tmp/build
4) /usr/src/gdb-20030919-1/configure --prefix=/usr/local/test

   Hmm.  It should be in the source distribution itself, at
 /usr/src/gdb-20030919-1/tk/win.

ls /usr/src/gdb-20030919-1/tk
ls: /usr/src/gdb-20030919-1/tk: No such file or directory

[...]

   Ok, so your one has this strange include path to
 /netrel/src/libtcltk/tk/xlib which my one doesn't.  Looks like maybe you
 have an older version of the tcl/tk headers in your installation and somehow
 it got chosen at configure time over the ones included with the gdb source
 distro?  Also, there really shouldn't be all those -I /usr/includes in
 there.  And what on earth are /usr/include/../win and
 /usr/include/../unix?  Maybe configure has somehow failed to find
 something and is using /usr/include as a default, no-hope-last-chance
 fallback; and then bogusly concatenating relative paths onto it that would
 have been relevant if it had found the real headers but make no sense when
 just hoping they're in the standard system includes dir.  Yech. 

I've just had a second go at downloading with setup.exe, and the tk
directory is still missing.

This makes me think that the bug is really in setup.exe or in the Cygwin
repository. I haven't really worked out how Cygwin packages work yet -
should each source package contain a build script, like Redhat or Debian
packages do?

He's a musician pretending to be a programmer. 
Actually I've earned a lot more from programming than music. In this

But he's not a programmer. 
I do more administration but I've also done a fair share of programming.
He does not know what POSIX is, or why its important for Cygwin, Unix,

No I know about POSIX, Cygwin, Unix and Linux. Cygwin, however, 
sometimes departs from standard and strict POSIX in order to inter 
operate with Windows. For example, there is no cygrunsrv in POSIX nor is 
there a mkpasswd AFAIK.

He wants to fix programs that are already stable, such as cmd. 
Really? Where did I say that? I don't want to fix cmd. I don't even 
want to use cmd! What are *you* talking about? I just want some 3rd 
party programs that I use such as cleartool to be able to work under the 
bash shell without getting confused by ptys. Now I know that cleartool 
could be re-written to do things in a more Unix like way - however 
they're not gonna do that. So I'm looking for a workaround and asking 
about ptys, something I had not had to deal with at a programming level.

If he wants to program a Windows program, he needs to buy Visual Studio. 
No thanks. I don't want a Windows program and never said that I did so 
again I ask you - what are *you* talking about?!?

I am learning more and more about Cygwin as I work with it. I learn

You should talk about attitude adjustments! All I'm asking for is a work 
around for a problem when dealing with certain Windows apps under 
Cygwin. Is this somehow a crime? Lay off the coffee will ya!

Hello,

it works with the result written in my home directory.
mydate.sh is `date mydate.txt`

It's a good idea to specify the absolute paths for any commands or output

Case 2,

My Error message in Eventlog is:

Hmm, looks like it *is* getting executed, but the output is lost?  See
the previous comment.
Ok. The output needs absolute path too. The script works.
But, my *real *script contains relative paths to config files,
and password files.
I dont think it worth to extend the PATH variable in
crontab file. So I made a second script with absolute path
references in the mentionned real script v.2
cygpath=/cygdrive/e/mypath
all paths were updated in $cygpath/actual_path format,
and VOILÁ ! Job done.
Thanks Igor !
The access permissions for both shell scripts are identical.
The only difference is the path to execute.

Can you execute the latter script from the command line as Administrator?
If not, are the access permissions on both *paths* sufficient?  For a
script to be executable, all the components in the path to it have to be
reachable (i.e., the directories have to have at least the execute
permission).
If I install the service as Administrator, and try to start it
with the Service Control Manager it fails to start and
I get the error message in the Event Log:
... bla bla .. Cygwin_cron : PID 2260 : starting service
'Cygwin_cron' failed : execv: 1 , Operation not permitted.

This is a different symptom -- most likely the necessary DLLs in your 
/bin
are not executable by non-owners (i.e., SYSTEM, which is the user cron
will run under when installed as service).  A chmod -R a+X /bin should
help (you might also need to fix permissions for other files/directories
under /var, and maybe /lib, /share, and /etc).

and SYSTEMROOT must be set to C:\WINNT.  Could you check that?

 Yes I can, however this starts it in another Windows window that does

 IOW all the reasons why I'm running rxvt! What I want is for it to run 
 in the rxvt window so that I can have the nicer copy/paste, etc, not 
 start a new window.

Perhaps (just perhaps) something like Take Command from jpsoft.com
is what you're looking for?  I never tried it, but it implements an
entirely new GUI console.  It's not free, though.

rsync text mode problem with fix

2004-09-21 Thread Sjoerd Mullender

Since my last update of my Cygwin installation I noticed that binary 
files copied from a Linux box were corrupted.  The problem appeared to 
be text mode vs. binary mode.  After some investigation I found the 
problem and I have a fix.

The diff is against the unpacked and prepared rsync-2.6.2-2 release (the 
latest, as far as I know).

Lot of undefined symbols at link time, even with -l option on good libraries

2004-09-21 Thread Frédéric ORMANCEY

 Using latest release of CygWin ( 1.5.11-1 ) I install the devel kit,
including gcc and gnat compilers. Then I build from src GCC and GNAT 
release 3.4.1 ( which include necessary patchs for my application ).
All my Ada application compile well with gnatmake command, but link 
failed with a lot of undefined symbols mainly issued from w32api and 
system libraries.

Undefined symbols are for example : FormatMessageA, GlobalReAlloc, 
CreateDialogParamA, WSAStartup, accept, select, ... about 100 undefined 
from system libraries.
Of course system libraries are included at link time with the 
appropriate -l option ( -lnetapi32 -lwsock32 -lshell32 -ladvapi32 
-lwinmm -lodbc32 -lwin32ada -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -laddr2line 
-lbfd -liberty )
I verify with NM command, symbols are right defined in the included 
libraries.

If someone have an idea ?

Re: Latest snapshot with XP SP2 and unison and cvs

2004-09-21 Thread Andrew Schulman

 I just updated an xp machine to sp2 and unison-2.9.1 (the win32 version) 
 using ssh (cygwin) started hanging. I have done a clean install of cygwin 
 and am running with the 16sep snapshot. cvs (cygwin) works fine with ssh. 
 unison hangs with ssh.
 
 Because win32 unison will not run under bash, I opened a cygwin bash window, 
 did an strace of cmd
 and then ran unison. The strace is attached.

Karl, you may want to try a later version of Unison.  2.9.1 is pretty 
old now, and although I don't know about that version specifically, I 
know that there have been hanging bugs in other versions.

A Cygwin version of Unison 2.10.2 has just been released; you should be 
able to find it in the Cygwin setup utility.  However, the archive 
format has changed, so you will have to be using version 2.10.x (I 
believe) on both hosts or Unison will complain.  It will also have to 
resync its archive lists.

Good luck,
Andrew.

Re: Cygwin on Win98: initdb failed

2004-09-21 Thread Christian Rank

Hi,

thanks to all who replied to my question. It seems that so far there is
no solution:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg00277.html

I've done some debugging and found out that the shmat... error message
is generated by PostgreSQL in the source module
src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c during execution of the following code:

/* OK, should be able to attach to the segment */
#ifdef SHM_SHARE_MMU
/* use intimate shared memory on Solaris */
memAddress = shmat(shmid, 0, SHM_SHARE_MMU);
#else
memAddress = shmat(shmid, 0, 0);
#endif

if (memAddress == (void *) -1)
elog(FATAL, shmat(id=%d) failed: %m, shmid);

Here it can be seen that shmat is called with a shmaddr (second
parameter) of 0, which means the system should itself choose a suitable
address. (Thus there is no need for supplying the SHM_RND flag.)

The corresponding debugging info of cygserver reads:

cygserver: /netrel/src/cygwin-1.5.11-1/winsup/cygserver/sysv_shm.cc,
line 385: shmaddr: 82FFD000, shmflg: 0
cygserver: /netrel/src/cygwin-1.5.11-1/winsup/cygserver/sysv_shm.cc,
line 393: Odd shmaddr: EINVAL

This should be an indication that the problem is the cygserver program
(it generates an invalid address) and not the PostgreSQL software.

I've also tested with the latest cygwin snapshot of 2004-Sep-20, but the
issue persists.

Perhaps the cygserver maintainers can use the information above to
further investigate the problem. I would be happy to provide more input
if needed.

Regards,
Christian

  Hi,
  
  Postgres hasn't worked on Win98 since Cygwin switched to cygserver for memory 
 management instead of ipc_daemon.  I believe 7.4.3 was the version to require 
 cygserver to run.

The same setup runs on Windows 2000 without problems. According to the

Sure.  Follow the problem reporting guidelines given here:

That will give those on the list interested in helping you out with this 
problem at least the basic information about your system and what you're 
doing.  

My WAG is that you haven't declared these symbols properly so that the 
calling convention is wrong (__cdecl vs __stdcall) but I'd need to see 
a small example of your code, how you compile it, and what the errors
are to be sure.  Then again, maybe this idea is enough for you to have an 
AHA! moment and fix the problem yourself. :-)

Re: regtool quoting variations on output

 A script broke today because regtool reported a key's value with

 I also observed that whether or not a path was reported with a trailing

 stout is Windows XP, percy is Windows 2000.

I would guess that the quotes would be always present on 2000 and never
present on XP -- can that be verified?

An aside: if you used single quotes, you wouldn't need to double the
backslashes...

 Visual inspection of the above key in regedit on percy (W2K) showed that
 its value had no double-quotes in the registry.  Visual inspection on
 stout (WXP) also showed no double-quotes around the path (though it did
 have the trailing backslash, just as regtool reported).

Do they have the same key type?  If not, the above could be the behavior
of ExpandEnvironmentStrings(), and you'll just have to deal with it.
AFAICS, regtool itself does not add double quotes anywhere.

 I can change my script to pipe the output from regtool through
 sed 's/^//;s/$//', but that seems like a kludge to me.

If you want the script to be robust, I don't see how this is much of a
kludge.

 Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

Install the make package from the Devel category (you may also need
others, see http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC13.

@David: This is a pretty frequently asked question, but I couldn't find
the exact FAQ entry for it.  Perhaps we could add a 'Where is make
(gcc, vi, etc)' heading to the above FAQ entry?  It'll need to be
augmented to also describe how to search for files, something like If you
need to know which package contains a particular file, search for that
file's name on http://cygwin.com/packages/.  For executables, especially
with short names, it helps to prepend 'bin/' to the filename.

multi-user environment: mounting a lot of shares via ssh

2004-09-21 Thread Andreas Petralia

hi

while 'shares' can be mounted in a ssh session via 'net use' by a single
user, it seems that in a multi-user environment, the users have to make
sure, that they do not re-use already mapped drive letters.

consider the following example:

user A:
1. ssh host
2. net use h: computer\\A_home
3. ln -s /cygdrive/h /HOMES/A
 -- ok

user B:
1. ssh host
2. net use h: computer\\B_home
 -- System error 85 has occurred.
 The local device name is already in use.

question:
how can more than 26 users (user A, user B, ... user Z) mount their
HOME-directory?
is there a way to solve this problem?

andrew

Is that pubkey or password authentication?

 how can more than 26 users (user A, user B, ... user Z) mount their
 HOME-directory?
 is there a way to solve this problem?
 
 Is that pubkey or password authentication?

password
 
 Why not use the UNC path directly instead?

because of the following reasons:

1.

i want to make the home-directories available in the directory /HOMES:
  /HOMES/A, /HOMES/B, /HOMES/C, ...
and i think it's not possible to link to a UNC path (eg. ln -s
UNC_path /HOMES/A) is it?

2. not every binary (tool) can handle UNC-paths

3. i would like to set up an environment, where *unix*-scripts+tools do
not have to know anything about UNC_paths.

regards,
andreas

Yes I can, however this starts it in another Windows window that does

IOW all the reasons why I'm running rxvt! What I want is for it to run 
in the rxvt window so that I can have the nicer copy/paste, etc, not 
start a new window.

Perhaps (just perhaps) something like Take Command from jpsoft.com
is what you're looking for?  I never tried it, but it implements an
entirely new GUI console.  It's not free, though.

I have actually purchased Take Command.  IIRC, it has all of the same
problems as rxvt.

Of course, if it doesn't, all that's required is for someone to figure
out how it's done so that it can be implemented in cygwin.

Re: multi-user environment: mounting a lot of shares via ssh

Do you want a separate home directory from the one specified in

Re: Bash returns incorrect process status

2004-09-21 Thread Eric Hanchrow

This patch also fixes a long-standing problem that I've had:

  My .bash_profile is rather complex (actually, it sources .bashrc,
  which is where most of the complexity is), and at the end it runs a
  program called `keychain'.  That program always does some output and
  sometimes does some input.  Before I applied this patch, most (but
  not all) of the time, keychain appeared to run in the background --
  that is, I'd see a prompt from bash, implying that it had finished
  executing commands from its startup files, but then I'd see output
  from keychain.  Worse, if keychain wanted to read input, it seemed
  to hear only a garbled version of what I typed (in fact, the input
  that it wants is my password, and would always claim I'd mistyped
  it).  With the patch, however, it works perfectly.

Re: Cygwin on Win98: initdb failed

 Hi,
 
 thanks to all who replied to my question. It seems that so far there is
 no solution:
   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg00277.html
 
 I've done some debugging and found out that the shmat... error message
 is generated by PostgreSQL in the source module
 src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c during execution of the following code:
 
 /* OK, should be able to attach to the segment */
 #ifdef SHM_SHARE_MMU
 /* use intimate shared memory on Solaris */
 memAddress = shmat(shmid, 0, SHM_SHARE_MMU);
 #else
 memAddress = shmat(shmid, 0, 0);
 #endif
 
 if (memAddress == (void *) -1)
 elog(FATAL, shmat(id=%d) failed: %m, shmid);
 
 Here it can be seen that shmat is called with a shmaddr (second
 parameter) of 0, which means the system should itself choose a suitable
 address. (Thus there is no need for supplying the SHM_RND flag.)
 
 The corresponding debugging info of cygserver reads:
 
 cygserver: /netrel/src/cygwin-1.5.11-1/winsup/cygserver/sysv_shm.cc,
 line 385: shmaddr: 82FFD000, shmflg: 0
 cygserver: /netrel/src/cygwin-1.5.11-1/winsup/cygserver/sysv_shm.cc,
 line 393: Odd shmaddr: EINVAL

Urgh!  Ok, well... looking into the implementation of shmat, there's
only one explanation for this behaviour.  Apparently MapViewOfFileEx
returned memory which isn't aligned to the memory granulation.

[time passes, testing on a 9x system]

That's it.  Incredible.  I've checked in a patch to cygserver which
takes this into account.  Please give cygserver from the next Cygwin
snapshot (http://cygwin.com/snapshots.html) a try.


Thanks for the analysis,

Has anyone got this working with php under Windows? I'd love to know how!

I'm trying to put together a webserver/database/php solution that will work on my WinXP
laptop for demos/prototypes. I don't have admin access on this machine, i.e. no 
registry
access  - I can't even copy php.ini to c:\windows!

Cygwin installs OK to c:\cygwin and I've succesfully got apache and postgresql running
under cygwin. But I'm stuck with php.

I've investigated lighttpd, and it looks very promising. The fast-cgi module looks 
great
- the spawn-fcgi utility built on cygwin straight out of the box, but I still come back
to not having a version of PHP that works.

I downloaded the 4.3.8 windows zip file and extracted it into c:\php but I can't work
out how to integrate this binary with the cygwin tools, if indeed it is possible.

Has anyone got any suggestions that might help me out here?

Is there any more news about the cygwin php port?

Thanks,

cursor jumping in cygwin?

2004-09-21 Thread Michael J. Wheeler

First of all, please forgive me if I am not posting to the correct list. 

I have been using cygwin for awhile now at work and I just got a new desktop
machine, so I loaded cygwin on it. The machine is a dual opteron 248
(2.2ghz) w/ 2gig RAM running Windows XP SP2.

When using xterm w/ bash as my shell and typing, at random times, the cursor
will jump to the beginning of the line. In vi, when I'm in input mode and
typing, the cursor will randomly jump to the beginning of the document. I
have seen it do this when pressing the h, a, and backspace keys as part
of my typing. I cannot duplicate this problem at will -- it appears to be
very random. I'm sure it has happened on other keypresses, but I type too
fast to know which key I've hit to cause it.

Has anyone ever seen this before? On my old desktop machine, I was running
cygwin with XP SP2, so I don't think that is the problem, unless the newer
version is incompatible with SP2 (I hadn't updated cygwin in awhile on my
old desktop machine).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about Cygwin - where it DOES eventually hurt to ask if you start a

and then keep asking that question in various simple ways even when it

Nah.  Not as catchy.

How about instead of politely imply, politely say. I'm not a mind 
reader! You also missed an opportunity to *explain* and *educate* 
instead of berate and demean. (Hmmm... Would demean be the opposite of 
mean? I don't think so).

I don't know nothing about ptys - I know a little. I just don't know the 
technical details because I've had no reason to date to learn them. So I 
asked a question - which shouldn't be snapped at but was snapped at 
nonetheless. A polite and informative reply to such a question would be 
something akin to No that can't be done because fill in reason here 
which would have served to enlighten me, and everybody else like me, 
about the mechanisms of ptys and their limitation and why my request 
would be difficult to impossible to do. Implying things do nothing to 
enlighten because they assume you have fore-knowledge - in this case 
about the technical details involved.  However that would not even 
register on the meanness scale therefore inappropriate for this group 
I guess.

We kid about meanness here but in reality there is no real joke - 
people here are often mean, which is not something I would brag about 
but for some reason certain people here seem to feel pride in being 
mean, which is the opposite of polite. IOW, in general, being mean is 
*counter productive*! So which are you Chris? Mean? Or polite?

The source code for this part is the following :
  pragma Import (Stdcall, Doit, FormatMessageA);
I try change it with pragma Import (C, Doit, _FormatMessageA); or 
things like that with no success.

May be it's the trailing @28 after symbol name which cause error, but I 
cannot control it ( it's DLL calling convention parameter size ). 
Compiler/linker should usually add or remove trailing @nn if necessary.

To answer your general questions, I'am building a large Ada application 
( 200 source files ), using W32 API, with Win2000 GNAT Compiler.

Using latest release of CygWin ( 1.5.11-1 ) I install the devel kit,

All my Ada application compile well with gnatmake command, but link failed with a lot 
of undefined symbols mainly issued from w32api and system libraries.
Undefined symbols are for example : FormatMessageA, GlobalReAlloc, CreateDialogParamA, 
WSAStartup, accept, select, ... about 100 undefined from system libraries.
Of course system libraries are included at link time with the appropriate -l option ( 
-lnetapi32 -lwsock32 -lshell32 -ladvapi32 -lwinmm -lodbc32 -lwin32ada -luser32 -lgdi32 
-lcomdlg32 -laddr2line -lbfd -liberty )
I verify with NM command, symbols are right defined in the included libraries.
If someone have an idea ?
   

Sure.  Follow the problem reporting guidelines given here:
 

Problem reports:   http://cygwin.com/problems.html
   


That will give those on the list interested in helping you out with this 
problem at least the basic information about your system and what you're 
doing.  

My WAG is that you haven't declared these symbols properly so that the 
calling convention is wrong (__cdecl vs __stdcall) but I'd need to see 
a small example of your code, how you compile it, and what the errors
are to be sure.  Then again, maybe this idea is enough for you to have an 
AHA! moment and fix the problem yourself. :-)

Sorry, I know nothing about Ada and how it works.  If the pragma statement
is supposed to take the place of the traditional function prototype in C/C++,
then I agree that it looks OK (again, based on my knowledge of Ada).  But
the result is that it's looking for symbols that use the 'C' calling 
convention rather than the 'stdcall' calling convention.  The libraries you
are linking to want the 'stdcall' calling convention (since it is the 
default for Windows).  If you cannot get Ada to ask for the proper symbol, 
you could try using the '--enable-stdcall-fixup' option (for 'ld') to 
attempt to massage away the problem.

The syntax for Pragma Import is:

 pragma Import(
 [Convention =] convention_identifier, [Entity =] local_name
  [, [External_Name =] string_expression] [, [Link_Name =] 
string_expression]);

It might be worth experimenting with using Link_Name instead of External_Name - this
should enable you to specify exactly what the link name generated by the Ada system is.

RE: security and cygwin

2004-09-21 Thread Koskie, Sarah

Actually, Reini, I didn't say that I didn't know what a daemon was, I
said that I didn't know how to find out which ones were running (without
additional research, which, has thus far been fruitless).  If I type ps
-fA on my linux box at home, I get a list of all the running processes,
even when I am not logged in as root.  When I type ps -fA in cygwin, I
do not get a complete list -- just my shell and the ps command.  Of
course this brings up the question of who, exactly is root under cygwin,
but a check of /etc/passwd seems to indicate that there isn't one.  I
gather that if SYSTEM or Administrators wanted to take on the role,
they'd be able to do it.

As far as I can see from what you wrote, the real issue is that windows
is unsafe.  I don't use Explorer, and if there is an intruder on my
machine, I already have a problem, independent of what they can do using
cygwin services.  The question is whether someone can use cygwin to
intrude.

I guess I don't see why anyone would install cygwin rather than linux
unless they were stuck in a networked windows environment as I am, so I
would assume that it would be designed to work reasonably in such an
environment.  Only I and computer services have accounts on the machine.
I have to trust computer services, and if they screw up, they can't
blame me, so the only issue here is what I personally have to do to make
sure I do not introduce extra security risks into the system.  (Wish the
documentation addressed XP Pro rather than just NT.)

 How secure is Cygwin in a multi-user environment?
 http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC78
 
  Thanks, but that does not answer my question.  I do not know what
  daemons are running.
 
 It does answer it.
 If you don't know this, you are completely unsafe.
 
  I did not start any.  I assume some are started in
  the installation process but I don't know how to find out which they
  are.  I just searched the FAQs for any other mention of daemon and
  found none.  I have also checked the User's guide but it does not
seem
  to contain any relevant info that I can see.  There should never be
any
  users logged in remotely to my cygwin and if there is something I
have
  to do to enforce that, that's part of what I want to know.  I should
  also be the only one using sftp, ssh, etc. With the previous version
of
  cygwin, I was able to sftp and ssh from cygwin to other machines but
not
  from other machines to  my desktop computer.  I hope that is still
the
  case.  I'll check it eventually, but as mentioned, I have a
  more-than-full time job as other than an UNIX programmer or system
  administrator and I cannot just stop and spend a month setting up
  cygwin.  In the past I didn't have to.  The lack of relevant
  documentation and the complexity of the current setup and install
  process are extremely frustrating.
 
 Trust the FAQ: It's unsafe.
 Esp. when you don't know what a daemon is. Just believe it.
 
 A daemon is a long-running satanic background process.
 See your Task Manager on the Process Tab.
 
 One of the daemons you don't see is for example called Explorer (the
 windows desktop). This is one of the worst security holes on windows,
 regardless of cygwin.
 
 sftp, sshd, cygserver, cron and all other cygwin services are also
 daemons, which share global data via cygwin1.dll. If you are running
 them as user, a possible intruder can gain permissions of this user.
 If you run cygwin programs as service the intruder might gain
 permissions of the SYSTEM user.

  Why not use the UNC path directly instead?

 because of the following reasons:

 1.

 i want to make the home-directories available in the directory /HOMES:

 and i think it's not possible to link to a UNC path (eg. ln -s
 UNC_path /HOMES/A) is it?

It is possible.

 2. not every binary (tool) can handle UNC-paths

Agreed :-(, but those tools are arguably broken.

 3. i would like to set up an environment, where *unix*-scripts+tools do
 not have to know anything about UNC_paths.

Why would they?

And, as suggested in a later reply, use mount.

Unless it's clear that the reference is specifically for NT 4.0, you 
should read NT as NT/W2K/XP/W2K3.  These are all platforms based
on the NT code base, versus the 9x code base of 95/98/Me.  References
to NT are to the code base, not particular product (marketing) names.
