[ITP] lablgtk2-2.4.0-1 [repost]
I want to package and maintain LablGTK2 for Cygwin. LablGTK2 is an OCaml interface to GTK2. I posted this message a week ago, and got no response. Maybe people are busy, which I understand. OTOH if people groaned and pushed it out of their minds when they read about the screwy license terms below, I'd appreciate it if you'd take another look and tell me your opinions. I don't think there's anything insurmountable there. My proposed unison-gtk2 package is waiting (I think) for lablgtk2 to be available, since I use lablgtk2 to build it. Thanks, Andrew.

please upload: unison-2.10.2-2 and unison-2.9.20-1
Changes from unison-2.10.2-1 to -2: - corrected build instructions in /usr/local/share/doc/Cygwin/unison-*.README. - added /usr/share/doc/unison/NEWS.Cygwin (Cygwin version file). In addition, if it's possible I'd like to request that unison-2.10.2-1 be _removed_ from the archive, and unison-2.9.20-1 be uploaded. Then the user will be able to choose between versions 2.9.20-1 or 2.10.2-2. The reason I want to do this is because version 2.9.x and 2.10.x use different archive formats, and hence won't talk to each other. If a user has version 2.10.x on his or her Cygwin box, but only version 2.9.x is available on another host, then s/he will be unable to synchronize files between those two hosts. Providing version 2.9.x as well will make it easier for users to install a version that will work with other hosts. Since the setup utility only supports two different versions at a time of a package, I'd like to remove version 2.10.2-1 and substitute 2.9.20-1 for it.

A fairly straightforward unix-like way to check would be to look for /bin. A less straightforward but more foolproof way would be to check the mount table with getmntent. If there is no mount table then there's no cygwin. Neither of those is going to verify if there are 27 copies of the DLL sitting around, though. cgf

Re: xemacs: segmentation fault after ctrl-xctrl-c
Hi, I think the reason for the xemacs exit crash has something to do with the 2004-08-18 release of xemacs-sumo / xemacs-mule-sumo packages. I replaced them in an all-up-to-date Cygwin installation with the old 2004-02-02 releases and the exit crash did not occur any more. On the other hand I had a propery running Cygwin installation from end june 2004 on my notebook PC (XP Pro, SP2). I upgraded only the two sumo packages to 2004-08-18 and xemacs crashed on exit. So, please: Can anybody of the experts here tell me, whether this is a bug of the 2004-08-18 releases? If it is not, how can I make it work properly? Is rebase the tool that helps? If yes, how should I apply it in order to avoid any risk for my Cygwin installation? Thanks a lot for any answer. Best regards, Sven

font problems with xpdf and gv
Hi, I just installed the latest version of cygwin on an XP system. Except for a problem which is explained in the FAQ related to the re-installation of the fonts, everything went quite smoothly. However, I ran into problems when running 'gv' and 'xpdf'. 'gv' pops a window saying unknown device x11 and comes back with the following messages in the standard error: Warning: Cannot convert string -*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1 to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string -*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1 to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string -*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-100-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1 to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string -*-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-p-*-ISO08859-1 to type FontStruct And nothing comes on the window, although it displays the number of pages. 'xpdf' although works, it says: Warning: Cannot convert string -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso08859-1 to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string -*-times-bold-i-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso08859-1 to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string -*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso08859-1 to type FontStruct and after exiting it prints 6 times: 'Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list' I should also mention that I didn't have the font problem with version 1.5.9 that I installed on another machine.

If you really are seeing the bug that I reported earlier (the one with PATH conversion), it's very easy to reproduce: just start cmd.exe *from* bash, and echo the PATH -- you'll see that the PATH is cut off at the directory with the wrong case. Now I wonder what was changed in Cygwin so that it doesn't work anymore when check_case:strict is defined, it used to work back in the good old B20 days up to at least 1.5.5 and now with 1.5.10 it doesn't work anymore, sigh!

It's also possible that some file inadvertently changed case in the installation tarballs between your old and new versions of Cygwin. If that is the case, then again, the above behavior is expected. I don't think that it is in the path code. Must be some other reason. E.g. cygserver runs in background, but cygrunsrv thinks it receives an error and exits, also sshd is running happily in background without cygrunsrv sitting on it. So it is not the problem that the application is not running. Huh? The whole point of cygrunsrv is to take a *foreground* application and turn it into a service. That's why you specify the -F flag to httpd, and the -D flag to sshd when you install them as services using cygrunsrv. FWIW, I'm hoping to submit a patch tonight with one possible fix for this.

-Original Message- From: Bobby McNulty Sent: 27 September 2004 19:33 To: Dave Korn David, his problem is Oracle. odbc.dll. He needs the old one. By he needs the old one, do you mean he needs to use the static link library instead of the DLL he made from it using libtool and impdef? And can you explain why creating a dll from a static link library might go wrong in this case, or in what other way his methodology was wrong? Your theory (if I've guessed correctly what it is you're actually trying to claim from your insufficiently detailed answer) is plausible, but we haven't had enough information from Dan to be able to diagnose it that well yet. Simple That's where his problem is Look at the cygcheck.txt in the original post. It doesn't even include the letters 'odbc' at any point. Nor does it point out any clashes between executables or dlls. So I'm really curious to know exactly _what_ in his cygcheck output was supposed to have given me this information. 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: cygrunsrv fails to run services
Hello Igor, I don't think that it is in the path code. Must be some other reason. E.g. cygserver runs in background, but cygrunsrv thinks it receives an error and exits, also sshd is running happily in background without cygrunsrv sitting on it. So it is not the problem that the application is not running. Huh? The whole point of cygrunsrv is to take a *foreground* application and turn it into a service. That's why you specify the -F flag to httpd, and the -D flag to sshd when you install them as services using cygrunsrv. Should be possible to debug it, I could build a debug version of cygrunsrv, and trace it?

Re: Is setup.exe _supposed_ to delete the cygwin dll before attempting to run shell scripts?
Dave Korn wrote: Oh, did I forget to say the graph must be a DAG before starting? :) Anyway, there are heuristics that could be used to find the best feedback set of edges for which removal would result in an acyclic graph. e.g. the one described at http://www2.toki.or.id/book/AlgDesignManual/BOOK/BOOK4/NODE182.HTM Deleting edges from a graph won't actually make a package that depends on another operate successfully without that other package present! OTOH what I think might work would be to identify loops in the full dependency graph and treat them as single packages that must be installed or uninstalled together - effectively encapsulating the loop inside a single node and thereby reducing the graph to a DAG. I was really only suggesting it as a way to order installation and uninstallation, not as a general dependency mechanism. If you have a circular dependency there's no way to resolve which preremove / postinstall should be run first (unless you launch them both in the background :) so the act of finding the minimal number of edges necessary to remove the cycles shouldn't cause too much issue.

Wget incorrectly mirroring some web site directories and files.
When I use 'wget' to mirror some web sites, I notice a peculiar behavior I'm unable to find described in the mail archives or with google. To wit(using MSWindows directory notation): If a web site has something like the following stored on 'host': ... root\a\u.html root\a\images\v.jpg root\a\images\w.gif ... where the web page 'u.html' contains the references: '...src=images\v.jpg...' '...src=images\w.gif...'. the images 'v.jpg' and 'w.gif' show nicely when browsing the page 'u.html' at 'host'. However, mirroring 'host\root' web pages using: 'wget -m -p -np http://host/root/' results in 'wget' creating on my machine: ... ...\host\root\a\u.html ...\host\root\a\images%5Cv.jpg ...\host\root\a\images%5Cw.gif ...\host\root\a\images\... ... rather than ... ...\host\root\a\u.html ...\host\root\a\images\v.jpg ...\host\root\a\images\w.gif ... as expected. Needless to say, this results in the images 'v.jpg' and 'w.gif' not displaying when browsing 'u.html' locally because they are renamed and then stored in their parent directory. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Has it been previously described and I just missed it? Is it a bug/feature in 'wget'; i.e., 'wget' handles the '\' not as a directory thingy but as part of the file name thus converting things like 'x\y' to 'x%5Cy' or is it caused by some other part of cygwin? Also, I seem to remember reading 'wget' as being an orphan--no maintainer. Is this still true and if so, is it because there are other/preferred replacements to 'wget'? Before digging deeper into this problem, I would greatly appreciate any insight and information anyone can provide me.

Re: [INFO] Adding cygwin here to Windows Explorer
Hi guys, Just to add my 2 dimes, here's what I use: Registry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cygshell] @=Cygwin Shell Here [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cygshell\command] @=c:\\cygwin\\usr\\x11r6\\bin\\run.exe /usr/bin/sh.exe /usr/local/bin/cygwin-shell-here \%l\ Add content of /usr/local/bin/cygwin-shell-here: #!/bin/sh cd $(/usr/bin/cygpath --unix $1) shift if [ -z $DISPLAY ]; then exec /usr/bin/rxvt $* else exec /usr/bin/uxterm $* fi I always have DISPLAY set to :0.0 by default in the windows registry since I start the X server on boot. Also, I never use rxvt, always xterm/uxterm so I added the logic above as an example. Of course, the $* argument passing is totally wrong since rxvt and uxterm do not take the same arguments... but again, that's just an example. Since it will always start uxterm for me, that means that my preferred shell (/bin/tcsh) is used instead of bash.

Make Utility and DuplicateHandle(In) failed (e=6)
Some time ago luca landi llandi at hotmail dot com wrote: problem running make 3.77.94 inside bash It appears that new cygwin.dll or bash.exe is causing some problem with console handling. In the case above, bash is run inside a command shell window and then make is launched as a child process of the shell. The error above appears to be related to handling of stdin. What should happen is that make is trying to duplicate a copy of stdin to pass to child process as default stdin for the child. However, the call to DuplicateHandle() (a WIN32 API) is failing because of an e=6. Quite some time later it does appear that the problem or a problem similar to this still exists, at least with the make utility :( I had a user report the exact same error message when using the Zeus for Windows IDE to run the Gnu make utility. A quick search of google shows that other programs have come across the same error condition. After some investigation, it looks like the bug also relates to the cmd.exe interpreter. In fact if the command.com is used then the problem goes away.

Re: crontab/mount problem

I have installed the cron. It works fine for all cases
except while trying to do anything across the mounted

problem, not sure what it is. Is the problem because
the k drive is mounted type user. How can I change
it to be a system wide mount or do I need to ?
No, you don't.
Here's the exact problem
$ crontab -l (my crontab)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and
reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.1572 installed on Mon Sep 27 17:10:53
2004)

HOME = /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Sonic
BASE=/cygdrive/k/rekha/runSonic
* * * * * /usr/bin/touch $BASE/foo.txt
1${HOME}/sonicOutput/cron.out 2${HOME
}/sonicOutput/cron.err
Here's the output of cron.err
$ cat cron.err
/usr/bin/touch: creating
`/cygdrive/k/rekha/runSonic/foo.txt': No such file or
directory
NOTE: I can see the contents of cygdrive/k from the
shell. I only have problems while using the cron. So
if I excute this command like follows it works
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp
$ touch /cygdrive/k/rekha/foo.txt
$ ls -ltr /cygdrive/k/rekha

If you've installed cron as directed, you won't have access to non-publicly
accessible shares. Your options are to make the shares accessible to all
without authentication or run 'cron' as a service under the same user as
owns the crontab. The former opens up your share's permissions
significantly. The latter makes 'cron' usable by only you.
There's plenty in the email archives about all this too if you're looking
for more reading.

Re: [INFO] Adding cygwin here to Windows Explorer

If so, the list to send your package information to is cygwin-apps. People there can help you pull together what you need. If not, then one of the main reasons for my sending my original email was to shut down this interminable and repeated discussion and come up with a solution for everyone that could be installed via setup.exe. I don't need *more* discussion about the super special ways that people do this. I'd like to see someone stepping up to offer a package.

Re: Make Utility and DuplicateHandle(In) failed (e=6)

In the case above, bash is run inside a command shell window and then make is launched as a child process of the shell. The error above appears to be related to handling of stdin. What should happen is that make is trying to duplicate a copy of stdin to pass to child process as default stdin for the child. However, the call to DuplicateHandle() (a WIN32 API) is failing because of an e=6. You're apparently quoting an old message with no attribution and providing no way of knowing whether this relates to an already fixed bug or not. Quite some time later it does appear that the problem or a problem similar to this still exists, at least with the make utility :( I had a user report the exact same error message when using the Zeus for Windows IDE to run the Gnu make utility. A quick search of google shows that other programs have come across the same error condition. After some investigation, it looks like the bug also relates to the cmd.exe interpreter. In fact if the command.com is used then the problem goes away. For any one that might be interested, more details on the bug and the resulting workaround can be found at the following forum topic: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38 I think you're a tad confused. This is cygwin, not zeusedit. Cygwin's make doesn't even contain the string DuplicateHandle(ln). And, for once, it looks like zeusedit doesn't actually use cygwin at all. I'm probably wrong and they are the standard people abusing the cygwin license in the standard way, but AFAICT, they seem to be using a windows version of make. cgf -- 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: bash misbehavior
On Mon, Sep 27, 2004 at 09:33:08PM -0400, Pierre A. Humblet wrote: The following command produces an unexpected result with standard Cygwin and bash ~: echo 1 | `echo cat` [1] 180019 ~: 1 Use logout to leave the shell. [1]+ Doneecho 1 | `echo cat` If ignoreeof is off, bash goes away. It looks like fhandler_termios::bg_check returns an error, not sure what's going on. I have a trace available. Are you sure that bash is doing the right thing? Strace implies that it is setting the process group of the terminal to a nonexistent pid. It is a bug in cygwin that this is allowed but it seems like a bug in bash that it is doing this at all. Fixing the bug in cygwin seems to cause bash to behave better but it still seems strange. This seems like YA instance of bash assuming that it can rely on the fact that a recently exited pid will be invalid. Anyway, thanks for the bug report with simple test case. The fix is in CVS. cgf -- 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/
