GNOME progress report (with screenshot!)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello everyone,
Yes, there's been a lot of back-and-forth between me and Gerrit
regarding the packaging of the GNOME libraries and desktop. The core
desktop has been built, and is up and running, although there's still
work before these packages will be ready to roll out. In the meantime,
check out this screenshot:
http://cygwin-ports.sourceforge.net/screenshots/gnome2-desktop.jpg
Now, Gerrit (and anyone else interested), let's get down to business.
I've posted for you ready-to-consume packages of libbonobo2, GConf2,
gnome-vfs2, libgnome2, libbonoboui2, and libgnomeui2 at:
http://cygwin-ports.sourceforge.net/install/temp/
Note that libgnomeui2 is dependent on gnome-keyring. Therefore I've
taken the following packages which I think are ready, at the same place:
~ gnome-keyring, libgnomeprint22, libgnomeprintui22. I think your six
packages, my three, and your updates to gtk2-x11 and libcroco should be
uploaded ASAP, which will give us all the core libraries in the distro.
~From there I'll work on the following (not necessarily in order):
scrollkeeper
gail
libgsf
libgtkhtml2
librsvg2
gtkspell
vte
gnome-terminal
xscreensaver
zenity
I guess the next thing for you should be to prepare the desktop packages:
metacity
gnome-desktop
gnome-panel
gnome-session
gnome-applets
nautilus
control-center
This is what needs to be added:
1) Any package installing *.schemas files needs postinstall and
preremove scrips. They all go like this, listing the real names for the
schema files, of course:
schema_files=\
~drivemount.schemas \
~geyes.schemas \
~gkb.schemas \
for p in ${schema_files} ; do
~ GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
~/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/$p ;
done
The preremove script is the same, except replace
--makefile-install-rule with --makefile-uninstall-rule.
2) In addition, gnome-panel needs an additional step:
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --direct \
- --config-source=xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
- --load /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries ; \
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --direct \
- --config-source=xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
- --load /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries \
/apps/panel/profiles/default ; \
Note that this panel-default-setup.entries file is NOT to be in the
schema_files list.
3) Packages installing scrollkeeper OMF files need this in their
postinstall script:
/usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update -p /var/lib/scrollkeeper -o \
/usr/share/omf/$(PACKAGE_NAME)
I got the /var/lib from the BLFS book; it recommends configuring
scrollkeeper-dependent packages with -localstatedir=/var/lib for this
reason.
4) Sometimes programs have trouble starting gconfd-2; this is usually
because the gconf locks aren't deleted after exiting. Doing the
following seems to make everything work:
$ rm -fr $TMP/gconfd-*
Note that this may be an issue with postinstall scripts which call
gconftool-2; maybe we'll have to put in some logic to include this so
that the script doesn't get stuck.
5) In addition, before running the desktop, make sure that NO gnome
processes are running, then:
$ rm -fr /tmp/.ICE-unix/* $TMP/gconfd-* $TMP/orbit-*
$ run XWin -unixkill -clipboard -nodecoration
$ gnome-session
gnome-session will start up metacity and nautilus by itself.
6) I'm also getting the constant disk polling; I'm pretty sure it's from
nautilus. Can we pinpoint the cause?
If you need any further help with the packaging issues, please let me
know, and keep me posted on what you're working on so that we don't
duplicate efforts.

A discussion about package's merits before it is included is rather a personal opinion and tend to favor the look of ivory tower, so to speak. We are certainly not going to just include things in the distribution and then argue the merits of so doing after the package has been included. That's crazy. I do appreciate very much the fact that people are willing to spend time porting a package to cygwin and are theoretically willing to support it indefinitely. That does not mean that I will stand by and watch the official cygwin distribution fill up with every package able to get three votes. For one thing, the space on sourceware is not free and, for another, every package adds potential traffic to the cygwin list. If we are going to add traffic we might as well add it for well-known packages rather than packages like shellsupport where the basic principles of cygwin (provide a standard linux-like feel to windows) are essentially subverted. I keep suggesting this but maybe it is time to change the acceptance behavior. Some people here just seem to have their auto-reply set to +1 for every message which has an ITP in the subject.

Hi Gerrit, Hi Peter,
I looked at the patches to screen what's really needed.

IIUC the foreign was used only because of libffi being 'included' into
sources which, as discussed earlier, we can't accept. BTW. Some claim
(I have not verified it) that you need to set this flag in the toplevel
dir only.
If you use autoreconf --force --install the INSTALL file will be
overwritten, if you're GNU, then rename the INSTALL file, if you want to
keep it, then use foreign;)

Why can't this struct be const? We don't write to it. Is this because
of how .data is handled in DLLs? This would need some comment in the
patch so that next person that looks at this knew why it's there,
because it looks strange at the first sight.
There is a variable or a pointer in this struct, so it is actually not
constant since the target of the pointer holds different values, or the
variable likewise. This cannot be exported from the DLL. The reason
why Cygwin needs this change is that with gcc = 3.3.3 those 'data' is
written to .rdata sections in object files and these cannot be exported,
it is not possible to build working executables when there are used
variables or pointer to variables in const structs. Most of the time
there are these popt things causing problems, it seems that this is the
usual way to code this, however it is no longer possible to do so on
Cygwin.
* SableVM Classpath
Could you please handle the -no-undefined in similar way as it's done in
SableVM? When cygwin is detected we set @NO_UNDEFINED@ to -no-undefined
We don't want to hardcode it.
In upcoming releases of classpath the -no-undefined flag will be
handled. But why make this conditionally, it doesn't hurt if you use it
elswhere too.
+# override FLAGS for Cygwin
+AM_CFLAGS=-pedantic -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -Wno-long-long -D_BSD_SOURCE
If you need to change flags, then I think it should be done again in
configure when Cygwin is detected. Don't override, just add
conditionally what is needed or disallowed for Cygwin.
What actually are the flags that you need to add/remove? (-ansi ?)
Yes of course, I just changed what was needed to get it compiled so who
is interested can see what needs to be done, I don't want to distribute
or maintain SableVM as long as nobody pays for it.
It is only in this dircetory a problem and it is only the -ansi flag.
But I saw that it compiles ok, I have classpath 0.11 ready here too, it
is all the same there, just remove -ansi for Cygwin globally.
You asked:
Is tzname and timezone not ANSI? Why is it used in sablevm then? Or
is the Cygwin time.h wrong about this?
If it's any indication of anything - we haven't hit this problem on any
other platform (i.e. *BSD), so maybe there's some common sense that
these things should be made available even when -ansi is required?
I'm in contact with the cygwin developers, however, tzname and timezone
/ daylight are so called 'extensions' so strictly spoken not ANSI. The
classpath maintainer is aware of that too, he said that it is not really
needed to use the -ansi flag, I think he will do s.th. about it.
But I am fine with removing -ansi for Cygwin.
Do so.
You also said:
And one more, I needed to cast timezone to an int to get it compiled
on Cygwin, here is defined timezone as time_t.
I looked into /usr/include/time.h and I see:
extern __IMPORT time_t _timezone;
#define timezone ((long int) _timezone)
So isn't timezone already casted to a long int? It should not be a
problem then, no? What kind of error do you get while compiling?
Yes you're right. But in newer classpath however, it is different,
there is used _timezone if available and this really needs the cast
then.
I changed it as usual, because the -ansi it doesn't compile, after the
change it still doesn't compile, until I found the reason was -ansi I
didn't remember that the cast wasn't actually needed.
BTW, I will be on a business trip for the next week and cannot reply all

su - coreutils?
I've taken Mark's coreutils patches, the proposed fileutils patches, and some of Bas latest patches (ignore errors) and tried to build a package. Builds fine, just some fixes for setuid processing in make install need to be done. (for su) http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/coreutils/ But while we are here some questions, mostly to Corinna: sync: sync is a no-op in cygwin. Shouldn't we print a warning when calling sync.exe? su: ok, su was never ported to cygwin. I did read the archives, esp. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-06/msg00897.html I've taken the liberty to use some code form corinna's login package and applied these changes to su, to do something useful at the password prompt and the setuid then. Without these patches the password prompt is entirely bogus. Only a minor change from setuid to seteuid had to be done. Also: /* The user to become if none is specified. */ #ifdef __CYGWIN__ #define DEFAULT_USER Administrator #define ROOT_UID18 // system #else #define DEFAULT_USER root #define ROOT_UID0 #endif Idea: Logon as Administrator, not as SYSTEM. But if already SYSTEM avoid asking for passwords. And use the login cygwin_logon_user() code. But: cygwin_logon_user always fails, even in a sysbash. And, how to support empty password accounts? cygwin_logon_user fails with set_errno(EINVAL); Can we use subauth/cygsuba.c then? Is there any template where this is used? Or should we leave as is? (bogus getpassword for existing expect scripts, no setuid done) -- 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/

minires-devel-0.97-1: resolv.h fails
minires-devel-0.97-1: #include resolv.h fails suddenly. Apparently /usr/include/resolv.h misses the definition for sockaddr_in, which is defined in cygwin/in.h Have no clue why it suddenly fails. Anyone else? These headers didn't change for years... Which file is supposed to include cygwin/in.h? I found nothing. On other systems it's defined in sys/socket.h, which is included in resolv.h. After adding the #include cygwin/in.h line to resolv.h everything works fine. But to my understanding cygwin/socket.h should include cygwin/in.h as it also includes cygwin/if.h (via asm/socket.h). -- 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/

RE: Updated: gmp-4.1.4-1
From: Gerrit P. Haase This release includes mpfr as a shared library. Thanks My main reason for requesting this is that GFortran 95, which will come with upcoming GCC 4.0, requires libmpfr to build. I can build cvs gcc-4.0, including gfortran, with gmp-4.1.4-1. Testsuite is still running but OK so far. Or if it is required to have a more recent mpfr version for this then we could remove mpfr from the GMP package and build mpfr seperately. I intend restarting my regular builds of cvs gcc on cygwin ASAP (today?), so we should be able to identify any issues promptly.
