Of course terminal emulation is done in the Cygwin DLL, but you're confused about the correct mailing list. This is not it: # cygwin-apps: a subscriber-only list for discussing packaging issues regarding applications that are distributed with the Cygwin DLL. There is nothing in the above which would suggest that you should send cygwin1.dll bugs here. By the way, it was recently discussed to introduce a bugzilla for setup.exe; is there any such thing for cygwin1.dll or is it all just on this mailing list? http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-10/msg00535.html

Re: [ITP] unison-gtk2-2.10.2-1
I want to package and maintain unison-gtk2 for Cygwin. Unison is a file synchronizer for Unix and Windows. It comes in two interfaces: text and GTK2. The text-mode version is already packaged for Cygwin in the unison package. unison-gtk2 is the GTK2 version. Is unison-gtk2 provided by any linux distribution? Yes, Debian has unison-gtk: http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/unison-gtk. (Actually that's the older GTK1 interface, but the Debian maintainer is planning to upgrade it to GTK2.)

setup size prefs
I'm just implementing better setup resizability, in particular remembering previous window states (size + pos) as requested. And the bugfix to resize smaller than the default size from the ressource. Which window sizes do we want to store? I started with one size for all, then I rewrote for one size for each propertypage, and now I believe the best would be to store/restore only two sizes. The big size for the package list and the small for the rest. What else do we want to remember? The state of the two checkboxes at the end?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: unison-2.10.2-3
A new version of the unison package is available in the Cygwin distribution. Changes in version 2.10.2-3: * Added /usr/share/doc/unison-2.10.2/unison-manual.html. * Patch: don't look in $USERPROFILE for the .unison directory; look only in $UNISON and then $HOME.

creating shared object (.so) with gcc under cygwin
Hello
I am trying to create a shared object and use it in a program under
cygwin with gcc. I seem to miss a point. If some kind soul could help
me on that, I'd be very grateful.
Here's the code for the shared object (calc_mean.c):
#include calc_mean.h
double mean(double a, double b) {
return (a+b) / 2;
}
Here's its header file (calc_mean.h):
double mean(double, double);
So, I compile that to a .so like so:
$ gcc -shared -o libmean.so calc_mean.c
Then, there's main.c that wants to use the shared object:
#include stdio.h
#include calc_mean.h
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
double v1, v2, m;
v1 = 5.2;
v2 = 7.9;
m = mean(v1, v2);
printf(The mean of %3.2f and %3.2f is %3.2f\n, v1, v2, m);
return 0;
}
I try to compile main.c like so:
$ gcc main.c -o main -L. -lmean
However, the following error is returned:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lmean
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Obviously, I do something wrong here, but I have no idea what that could
be.

I gather Win32::API is relying on a hook that the Cygwin.dll is not providing? All I really need this for is to call a procedure in a DLL, that does some port IO for me.

Re: creating shared object (.so) with gcc under cygwin
On Wed, 3 Nov 2004, Rene Nyffenegger wrote:
Hello
I am trying to create a shared object and use it in a program under
cygwin with gcc. I seem to miss a point. If some kind soul could help
me on that, I'd be very grateful.
Here's the code for the shared object (calc_mean.c):
#include calc_mean.h
double mean(double a, double b) {
return (a+b) / 2;
}
Here's its header file (calc_mean.h):
double mean(double, double);
So, I compile that to a .so like so:
$ gcc -shared -o libmean.so calc_mean.c
Then, there's main.c that wants to use the shared object:
#include stdio.h
#include calc_mean.h
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
double v1, v2, m;
v1 = 5.2;
v2 = 7.9;
m = mean(v1, v2);
printf(The mean of %3.2f and %3.2f is %3.2f\n, v1, v2, m);
return 0;
}
I try to compile main.c like so:
$ gcc main.c -o main -L. -lmean
However, the following error is returned:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lmean
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Obviously, I do something wrong here, but I have no idea what that could
be.
As Chris recommended, use the .dll extension for your shared libs, or
you can also build an import lib using
$ gcc -shared -o libmean.so -Wl,--out-implib,libmean.dll.a calc_mean.c
and your link step should work.

Is this possible? Or is this only a 'dummy' file, and Event Log in the only option for logging on Windows (Win2k in this case)? You're barking up the wrong tree here with cygserver.conf. THat is the configuration file for cygserver, which is a helper application to provide shared memory, queues, semaphores, and various other things. See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README for details. It has absolutely nothing to do with sshd, or running services in general. What you want to do is provide the -e argument to sshd when it starts up. From man sshd: -e When this option is specified, sshd will send the output to the standard error instead of the system log. (In windows, syslog = windows event log) To do this you can either remove the service and reinstall it with the new arguments (both with cygrunsrv) or you can just go into the registry and edit the command line there. Look at the ssh-host-config file for how cygrunsrv is used to install the service, if you want to duplicate its options. Cygrunsrv is the program that allows daemons to run as services, and it will redirect stderr and stdout of the daemon to a file. From cygrunsrv -h: -0, --stdin fileOptional input file used for stdin redirection. Default is /dev/null. -1, --stdout file Optional output file used for stdout redirection. Default is /var/log/svc_name.log. -2, --stderr file Optional output file used for stderr redirection. Default is /var/log/svc_name.log. You will either need to specify -2 to cygrunsrv with the name of the log file you want, or accept the default /var/log/sshd.log.

Better fix AC_FUNC_MMAP. | | Submit a patch to the Cygwin autoconf maintainer, since there were no | upstream autoconf releases for years, it needs to be fixed locally at | first. Corinna, according to the Cygwin README, autoconf-devel is yours. As this has been a problem both here and on the main list, would it be possible to fix the AC_FUNC_MMAP macro in /usr/autotool/devel/share/autoconf/autoconf/functions.m4? This affects building a LOT of packages. I suppose using a similar logic to the above would suffice. Thank you.

Re: ls /dev/*
Actually, please don't. I think you misinterpret the discussion in cygwin-developers. Now that you've reacquainted me with the discussion, I remember why it wasn't applied as-is. My plan was for /dev to go away as a special mount. Now that mknod works, this is more doable than it was in 2002. Why have a real /dev directory? I like having a dynamically populated /dev/-directory. I like Linux's devfs very much, and perhaps udev will be very much like it, but i don't guess that cygwin will have something like udev (an example where devices would be added/removed from /dev is, wehn a new CD-ROM is attached/removed etc.) -- 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: Perl binmode problem on text mount

This is expected behavior. Unless you use raw writes (as cat does), the mode of the file (text or binary) is determined *by the program that opens the file*. In the above case, the program is not perl, it's your shell. You can try one of a few things: either set PERLIO to :raw (I guess :unix should also work) before invoking perl, or make perl open the file itself instead of relying on shell redirection, or use the cat trick, or use a binary mount... Since you mentioned perl-5.6.1, setting PERLIO would probably be the best way to approximate the behavior. For more details on PERLIO, see man perlrun.

Re: Can Cygwin sshd log to a file? (as opposed to Event Log)
Thank you very much for your help, Brian ( list) -- I was looking in all the wrong places, but got it set up correctly now (through editing the registry entry).

Is this possible? Or is this only a 'dummy' file, and Event Log in the only option for logging on Windows (Win2k in this case)? You're barking up the wrong tree here with cygserver.conf. THat is the configuration file for cygserver, which is a helper application to provide shared memory, queues, semaphores, and various other things. See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README for details. It has absolutely nothing to do with sshd, or running services in general. What you want to do is provide the -e argument to sshd when it starts up. From man sshd: -e When this option is specified, sshd will send the output to the standard error instead of the system log. (In windows, syslog = windows event log) To do this you can either remove the service and reinstall it with the new arguments (both with cygrunsrv) or you can just go into the registry and edit the command line there. Look at the ssh-host-config file for how cygrunsrv is used to install the service, if you want to duplicate its options. Cygrunsrv is the program that allows daemons to run as services, and it will redirect stderr and stdout of the daemon to a file. From cygrunsrv -h: -0, --stdin fileOptional input file used for stdin redirection. Default is /dev/null. -1, --stdout file Optional output file used for stdout redirection. Default is /var/log/svc_name.log. -2, --stderr file Optional output file used for stderr redirection. Default is /var/log/svc_name.log. You will either need to specify -2 to cygrunsrv with the name of the log file you want, or accept the default /var/log/sshd.log.

I've tried installing the latest package with setup. I have downloaded it twice and I've tried two seperate hard disks and I've tried lowering the system speed (i have an old pIII) and setup always hangs at the 97% mark while installing some X11 readme files.
