pre ITP libming layout
I'm referring to SWF creation: http://ming.sf.net, http://www.opaque.net/ I patched current ming-CVS version to work correctly. It is required by ploticus, useful for PHP later. ruby and java seems to be broken. Making the perl lib is straightforward. 1.

Debian seperates it into libming, libming-dev, libming-util libswf-perl, php4-ming, python-ming, ... So the binary package is just the libming.so, plus the docs http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelistword=libmingversion=stablearch=i386 At least I could try to produce the php extension also (when brian is finished) and put it into usr/lib/libming/lib/php_ext/php_ming.dll because I don't think that brian wants to maintain it, right? The mingw postinstall or php postinstall could then install it into the correct location. Or I'll wait for brians layout and architectural decisions, and add php_ming.dll with an update later. (I wanted a cygphp4.dll, brians wants a static libphp4.a only) But I don't care for perl, java, python, tcl. 2nd related question: Would you be content with a src package of a CVS snapshot? Their last release called 0.3beta1 was febr. 2004, but this doesn't compile and work at all. In the meantime I tried to presuade them to bring out another interim release (0.3beta2). There happened some parsing SWF5 fixes and minor features lately. I'm not quite content to depend in the ploticus-src package on a ming-CVS snapshot with a tricky retrieval url. Or do you don't care? I wouldn't care. 3rd question, fonts: I want to add the fdb (Flash) variant of Bitstream Vera: usr/share/fonts/fdb/Bitstream Vera Sans.fdb (and friends) or directly into usr/share/fonts/? usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/fdb doesn't seem to be right. It's only used by libming. There are ttf, fft and fdb variants shipping with a ming-fonts-1.00.zip. The ttf is already in the X11 fonts. Or should this go into a seperate libming-fonts package?

Re: libtoolized some older libs
Reini Urban said the following on 04-09-29 16:33: The deal is that that is a problem for libtoolized packages, when they don't pick up cygssl*, instead they link statically to libssl.a. No. That is not true. If you link with '-lcrypto -lssl' the linker picks automatically the .dll.a import libs at first. It needs some hackery to persuade them to pick up the dynamic version there. If there are packages where configure looks for libssl.a explicitly, then they want it statically? If not, then the tests or used macros are buggy. And in case of PHP the tests in the macros are buggy. Usually, configure and libtool are doing a good job. Please don't change anything. Gerrit -- =^..^=

Actually I use a lot of them but not all. Is it possible for you to find out which lisp packages you have loaded when the crash occurs. Sure, you're not using all of them ... I'm sorry, but I don't know how to find out this. But maybe the following will be an answer to your question: I start xemacs from bash/xterm command line with xemacs filename.c , xemacs starts up properly. Then I type ctrl-xctrl-c, the xemacs window closes and the error messages occur in the xterm window. I do not have any customizations or anything else configured in xemacs. I'm running it just as installed (in a complete Cygwin installation including all currently (27.09.) available packages). rebasing has definitely nothing to do with the sumo packages, but with the dll's XEmacs is using. For me the crashing behavior comes with installation of 2004-08-18 sumo packages and goes with installation of 2004-02-02. So, your statement tells me, that rebase will not be the tool to remove the exit crash problem. Do you agree? Thank you for your answer. Best regards, Sven

Re: Strange window redraw problem

We currently use X so that Windows users can run apps (typically written with Perl/GTk) on Linux application servers. The deployment is going not bad, but on a couple of systems we're seeing strange corruption of windows: if an X window gets obscured by another X window, then raised to the top, the obscured part doesn't get redrawn. The window's frame gets redrawn but the contents do not. This does not appear to be happen if a non X window obscures the X window. We are running the latest version of the Cygwin X.org server. The systems were all bought from Dell around the same time, so they are all substantially the same. Both systems have GeForce 256 cards with driver version 5.2.1.6; they're both running Win2k and are completely up-to-date with patches. One system is working, one is not. Phew, thats pretty tough. Are there differences in installed programs? TweakUI or similar might be candidates which change expected windows behaviour. If such programs are installed, please check if the settings of the programs differ. If this does not give any clues there is the possibility to compile XWin with massive debugging output. It will print which windows messages are received and how they are processed. I can provide the binaries in the next days. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Hi cgf,

changes I'll do (I'm also trying to clean the scripts up as much as
possible). I'll not be able to upload a version until tonight though, I
don't have the code base with me...
/etc/profile:
remove quotes from lines 23, 36 and 29
brace ${...} all variables
change ~ to ${HOME} on lines 193, 195 and 197
/etc/skel/.bash_profile (via default versions)
remove quotes from lines 13, 18 and 23
change ~ to ${HOME} on lines 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 22 and 23
If people didn't remove these files prior to the last upgrade they must
remove them before this upgrade otherwise they will not be overwritten.
Is there any other changes needed?

- downconvert via transliteration C locale man pages just in case
- patch #3, #8, #10, #17, #29, #31 no longer needed-- made it upstream
- patch #9, #14 and #19 now superfluous-- strs already termed and len checked

- patch #32 mostly merged upstream. Keep the -a in grep though so all
locales' grep see man pages as text not binary (patch 37)
- iconv patch no longer needed now that utf-8-to-legacy conversion is not
needed
- patch #52 and #53 not needed: CJK all point to nroff instead of groff, let
the nroff script decide, based on the charset of the environment and/or the
charset of the man page, as to what parameters to pass to groff (and
whether iconv preprocessing is necessary)
- the string NROFF_OLD_CHARSET, if present in the man.config for the NROFF
path, will now be replaced by the old character set so that nroff can figure
out what the character set/encoding is
- fix man to reflect status codes returned by forked child processes (#115204)
- lots of makewhatis changes: re-add custom rh client stuff (/usr/bin vs
/usr/sbin), -o option, /var/cache/man, utf-8 verification, convert the
encoding spaghetti in the makewhatis awk script to UTF-8, identify languages
in comments
man-1.5m:
- Greek man pages and messages
- makewhatis fix

SSH Environment
Hi, I try the running ssh client with only the required dll's from a .net application and without a full cygwin installation. Basically that works fine. However, I have a problem regarding the known_hosts file: It does not get written anywhere and therefore asks to add the key each time the app runs. I tried to set the environment variabe to: HOME=c:\Program Files\myApp in WinXP with a subdir .ssh already created. No luck. Then I tried setting the HOME-variable to different values when starting the ssh-process from my .net application using /cygdrive/c/Program Files/myApp, /cygdrive/c/Program\\ Files/myApp or C:\Program Files\myApp. No luck as well. What am I missing here? Do I need more environment variables? Another solution for setting the path of the known_hosts file?

The two problems are most likely related. Install minires and try again.

Re: Problems on Itanium: Found the Cause, What's Next?
On Sep 28 16:32, Alexei Alexandrov wrote: If you compile this code with 32-bit compiler and then run it on 64-bit Server 2003 it will crash. At the same time it works on 32-bit machines. It also works fine on a x86_64 machine in 32 bit mode. So the questions is to cygwin developers: what can be done next? I\'ve found file wincap.cc with particular platforms capability descriptions. I\'ve tried to set has_working_copy_on_write to false when IsWow64Process return true and it seems to work, but how can I be sure that I didn\'t break anything else? Are there any tests or something? And generally is this fix OK? Which drawbacks can it have? If the fix is OK - let me know, I will provide a patch. No, because this would also exclude x86_64 machines. Actually I'm somewhat in doubt that CreateFileMapping/MapVieOfFile functionality should actually be so broken on the ia64 platform. Are you really sure that the culprit isn't somewhere else? Your test application uses a very common idiom, so I'd guess that a lot more applications would fail miserably on ia64 in 32 bit mode.

ssh appear to hang; xauth; X forwarding
Recently, probably after upgrading ssh to openssh-3.9p1-2, ssh appeared to hang, whether invoked by itself or as transport for cvs. Well, the culprit was xauth, or rather X forwarding. Starting ssh invoked xauth which subsequently hung because X wasn't running, even though DISPLAY was defined. Unsetting DISPLAY if X isn't running will cure the problem. kind regards Peter Ring -- 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/

Excessive CPU load (cygrunsrv.exe, tail.exe, etc)
When I am playing the freely available standalone version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein called Enemy Territory and I have various cygwin programs such as apache's httpd, tail.exe, cygrunsrv.exe, bash.exe, or whatnot running, ET will lock up and when I bring up the task manager, seemingly random cygwin processes will be hogging the CPU until I kill it. Upon killing the offending process, ET will resume normally briefly and then another random cygwin process will start hogging the CPU again until I kill it. This will repeat in a seemingly random order until all cygwin processes are killed. It does seem that cygrunsrv.exe is always the first process to have heavy CPU load at seemingly random times, e.g. not always during ET.

Re: Excessive CPU load (cygrunsrv.exe, tail.exe, etc)
Oh, it should probably be noted that when I manually end-task the cygrunsrv.exe when it is hogging the cpu it will immediately crash.

Upon killing the offending process, ET will resume normally briefly and then another random cygwin process will start hogging the CPU again until I kill it. This will repeat in a seemingly random order until all cygwin processes are killed.

Programming problem with POSIX threads and stdout
The following has probably already been noticed by someone, but I could not
find any reference (at least, comprehensible to me), so I apologize if my
problem has already been taken care of.
Consider the following code:
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
#include pthread.h
void *mythread (void *p)
{
puts (Begin thread.);
sleep (2);
puts (End thread.);
return NULL;
}
int main (void)
{
pthread_t threadID;
puts (Begin program.);
pthread_create (threadID, NULL, mythread, NULL);
sleep(1);
puts (Mid program.);
sleep (2);
puts (End program.);
return 0;
}
In my intention, it should write the following (the sleeps take care of the
timing):
Begin program.
Begin thread.
Mid program.
End thread.
End program.
However, the last line (which is executed after the thread has exited) is
not printed. I also tried with files and with redirection. If I repeat the
sleep(2) twice in the main program, the program actually takes longer, so
I am sure that execution of main still proceeds after the thread has
stopped; however, the standard output seems to have been closed by the
thread termination.
I have an up-to-date Cygwin system (1.5.11-1 DLL, GCC 3.3.3 with POSIX
thread model); the compilation command that I used is
gcc -Wall -o ttest ttest.c
I also tried putting debug or optimization flags (-g, -O, -O2) and put an
explicit -lpthread at the end, with no luck.
I'm a bit new to pthreads, so probably it's my fault, or maybe this behavior
is in the specifications; however, under Linux I get the whole output as I
expect. Is there a way to get things right?
Thank you,
Mauro.

Then I tried setting the HOME-variable to different values when starting the ssh-process from my .net application using /cygdrive/c/Program Files/myApp, /cygdrive/c/Program\\ Files/myApp or C:\Program Files\myApp. No luck as well. What am I missing here? Do I need more environment variables? Another solution for setting the path of the known_hosts file? Why would a home directory be under Program Files?!? Program Files is a directory that contains a space in it so you might try escaping it. Well further reading of this thread suggests that OpenSSH uses the home directory in /etc/passwd anyway but still are ya gonna put /cygdrive/c/Program Files/myApp in that field? I think you'll still have a problem with the space. I don't think you want a home directory under program files in the first place. However, one trick that I do to more easily deal with the Program Files think is: $ mount -bsf /cydrive/c/Program Files /apps Then it's simply /apps/application/etc. Much easier to deal with, shorter and file name completion under bash works well with this. -- Never raise your hands to your kids.

Re: Excessive CPU load (cygrunsrv.exe, tail.exe, etc)
Brian Dessent wrote: Steve B wrote: When I am playing the freely available standalone version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein called Enemy Territory and I have various cygwin programs such as apache's httpd, tail.exe, cygrunsrv.exe, bash.exe, or whatnot running, ET will lock up and when I bring up the task manager, seemingly random cygwin processes will be hogging the CPU until I kill it. If you happen to be using Process Explorer from sysinternals.com then that's the culprit. If you have the modules display enabled and happen to click on or otherwise display info about a cygwin process, the result is a 100% hang until you kill the cygwin process. There has been talk of late about this, usually with csrss (a non Cygwin process) going wild as well as inetd, cron and other Cygwin processes. I, at times, use Procexp, other times not use it and still see occasionally this problem happening. It hogs the CPU but not that much (typically the processes are taking up 30 or so percent of the CPU but 2 or 3 of them (csrss and inetd and cron - 30 + 30 + 30 tends to get to ~100%)). This is observed with regular TaskManager not Procexp however this condition may have been tripped earlier as often my CPU is very busy anyway. So it might be that I had Procexp running and not necessarily looking at the modules display or anything rather it is iconified but a cygwin process, such as cron, became busy and thus got Procexp's attention possibly tripping the problem. In any event what version of Procexp do you use and suspect is causing this problem. I have 5.20 running at home and I forget which version is running at work but I know it's a newer version. When starting Procexp to check the version I noticed that he problem has occurred again. csrss is taking ~20% and cron ~12%. The 2 inetd's are taking ~10%. Working around this usually just involves a net stop of cron/inetd and restarting it. OK that worked. Restarting Procexp and wham! Same problem! Interesting. There is no modules view in 5.20 BTW. There is only View: DLLs and Handles. Either setting causes this problem in Cygwin. -- Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's because they're such beautiful animals.I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the wall. -- 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/

did the {eval `mount -m | sed -e 's/ -u / -s /g' -e 's/$/;/'`} from
the msg referenced above and it now works like a charm.
(There are some occasional other users of this machine and I don't
really want them to have access to something as powerful as cygwin so
re-installing for all users was definitely not the preferred solution.)
Hmmm. I wonder if this will help another installation where Task

Worth a try.

Re: Problems on Itanium: Found the Cause, What's Next?
Hi, Corinna Vinschen, you wrote It also works fine on a x86_64 machine in 32 bit mode. Yes, I've checked it too - it really works on Intel EM64T (didn't test it on AMD64). No, because this would also exclude x86_64 machines. Probably, a better approach is needed. It is possible to check PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE envvar but it looks a little clumsy. Actually I'm somewhat in doubt that CreateFileMapping/MapVieOfFile functionality should actually be so broken on the ia64 platform. Are you really sure that the culprit isn't somewhere else? Your test application uses a very common idiom, so I'd guess that a lot more applications would fail miserably on ia64 in 32 bit mode. Belieive it or not, it is! I've double checked it (I mean I've done that on 2 computers :-) ). It is easily reproducible with cygwin - any malloc for a big memory chunk causes segmentation fault (if I understand correctly malloc requests for big memory areas lead to mmap call). I've posted the bug report to public.win32.programming.kernel and private.windowsserver_64bit msft mailing lists - no answer so far... With best regards, Alex Alexandrov.

select call does block unless data arrives at socket (when waiting for serial port and ip socket)
Hi...
I want to use select() to wait for a serial port and a ip socket.
Following problem:
If data arrives the serial port, select() works as aspected and returns 1.
If data arrives the ip socket, select() doesn't return.
If data arrives the serial port and before there was some data at the ip
socket,
select() returns 2. Both file descriptors are set in fd_set input, and
all data
can be read by the next functions.
I am using the cygwin1.dll version 1.5.11 with Windows XP.
(The same problem with previous versions of cygwin1.dll.)
Thanks for help.

Re: SSH Environment
Andrew DeFaria wrote: Why would a home directory be under Program Files?!? Program Files is a directory that contains a space in it so you might try escaping it. Well further reading of this thread suggests that OpenSSH uses the home directory in /etc/passwd anyway but still are ya gonna put /cygdrive/c/Program Files/myApp in that field? I think you'll still have a problem with the space. I don't think you want a home directory under program files in the first place. However, one trick that I do to more easily deal with the Program Files think is: $ mount -bsf /cydrive/c/Program Files /apps Then it's simply /apps/application/etc. Much easier to deal with, shorter and file name completion under bash works well with this.

Re: Excessive CPU load (cygrunsrv.exe, tail.exe, etc)
Andrew DeFaria wrote: In any event what version of Procexp do you use and suspect is causing this problem. I have 5.20 running at home and I forget which version is running at work but I know it's a newer version. When starting Procexp to check the version I noticed that he problem has occurred again. csrss is taking ~20% and cron ~12%. The 2 inetd's are taking ~10%. Working around this usually just involves a net stop of cron/inetd and restarting it. OK that worked. Restarting Procexp and wham! Same problem! Interesting. There is no modules view in 5.20 BTW. There is only View: DLLs and Handles. Either setting causes this problem in Cygwin. View DLLs is what I meant by module view. Same thing. The two ways that I've found to trigger it is to have the bottom pane active and set to DLL view and to click on a cygwin app, or double-click a cygwin app and select the Threads tab. In either case the thing that causes the problem is ProcExp attaching a thread to the Cygwin process in order to get the loaded modules and thread info. I've tried to track this down but it's quite hard to debug for several reasons: procexp does not come with source, it uses undocumented API calls, and it works in concert with csrss (which is a system service not a normal process and therefore harder to debug.) The closest I've been able to get is the following set of calls as seen in API Monitor: http://dessent.net/tmp/procexp-cygwin.gif Of course, I can't find any way to export that list to a plain text format, so this stupid screen shot is about the best I can do for now. If you look at the image it starts with a call to OpenProcess on pid 0xc9c which was my sacrificial Cygwin process. In this test I had only a single Cygwin process running, and this process was a brain dead hello-world type thing (a single call to read(0, buf, sizeof(buf)) so that it would just sit there and patiently block.) This test-app and those shown list of calls are the simplest test-case that I was able to narrow it down to.

If you want POSIX behavior from the serial port (ie. termios, etc.),
please see:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#AEN825
and use the proper POSIX device (ie. /dev/ttyS4; /dev/com5 may also
work, but is not suggested).

What are you trying to accomplish here? One would normally do a get,

You might also try poll, or debugging it yourself as CGF suggested. I

Since the problem appears to be with the socket, can you get two sockets
to have this behavior?

One thing, when I installed this cygwin I checked the Install For Just Me

Bingo. As I was reading your message, I thought he should check that he
has system mounts. You've just confirmed that you don't. Re-mount all
of your mounts as system, and your services will work.
David, this is definitely an FAQ, but there is nothing in the FAQ about
services (other than the how do I install snapshots entry). Should we
add something along the lines:
Why don't my services work?
Most Windows services run as the SYSTEM user. If you installed Cygwin
for Just Me, the SYSTEM user won't see the mount table. You need to
re-mount all of your mounts as system for services to work.
We could even include the recipe for remounting as system (e.g., from
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00487.html), or tell them to run
setup.exe again and select All Users on the Install For screen (and
use the Keep view, so that nothing gets upgraded accidentally).
Thank you (all) ever so very much.
I had no idea what it took to re-mount all your mounts as system but I did the
{eval `mount -m | sed -e 's/ -u / -s /g' -e 's/$/;/'`} from the msg referenced
above and it now works like a charm.
(There are some occasional other users of this machine and I don't really want them
to have access to something as powerful as cygwin so re-installing for all users was
definitely not the preferred solution.)
Actually, system mounts are really *the* difference between installing
Just for me and All Users. So you have effectively reinstalled for
all users now. ;-)
Hmmm. I wonder if this will help another installation where Task Scheduler jobs
don't seem to have access to windows network drives. Worth a try.
True but you won't see a difference. When you say Task Scheduler, you
mean the Windows service/utility, right? Just curious. There's the same
issue with 'cron' and any service that runs under SYSTEM. It has no
access to shares that require authentication to access. So you either
need to make your shares accessible to everyone or run the service under
your user name and only for your user.

RE: cp to flash drive very slow
I tried using cp to copy a zip file 106MB from my hard drive
to my flash drive (sandisk mini cruzer). After 20 minutes it
still had not completed.
xcopy copied the file in 22 seconds.
Why would cp be so much slower? Any ideas as to work-arounds?
Last I checked, cp was slower on network copies than xcopy was, but the
difference was nowhere *near* that dramatic. I can offer a few guesses
here:
1. Again last I looked, cp was using fopen()/fread() et al to do the copy.
Good for portability, bad for efficiency. Xcopy is probably using
CopyFile{Ex} or some such lower-level funcion, which if MS is on the ball
(yeah I know) involves a lot fewer layers of code, and if we're really good
maybe is even copying raw sectors using scatter/gather (yeah I know I'm
dreaming, but maybe).
2. Caching. Xcopy may be caching your writes to flash, cp may be forcing a
flush somehow. I've had similar copies take essentially no time, only to
find out that the copy never actually got committed to disk until much much
later. XP SP1 doesn't default to that behavior IIRC, but check to make sure
that you do NOT have that option turned on, or you WILL lose data.
Regardless, 3.7Mb/second seems like something's wrong somewhere. Are you
running USB2.0 hub-to-device?
