[ITP] mathomatic-11.5-1
I've updated my not yet approved package of mathomatic to the latest upstream version. http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/release/mathomatic/ (also via setup at http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/) It has the wanted changes from Volker, for which it got a GTG, and it has 2 votes. http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/mathomatic.html?cs=mathomatic:PN:0:0:0:0 finds only a PLD Linux distro, so it needs 3 more votes. About: Mathomatic is a highly portable,general purpose symbolic math program that can solve, simplify, combine, differentiate, integrate, and compare algebraic equations. It can do standard, complex number, and polynomial arithmetic. It is designed to be as general as possible, with few options. It is a console mode application that compiles and installs easily. Changes: This release uses memmove() instead of the deprecated bcopy(). There are several improvements to the scripts in the tests directory. Better modulus simplification and automatic approximations of real^complex and complex^complex are new features in this release.

If you want these also, get the src packages and compile them by yourself. maxima (on clisp) is also suitable and maybe better, but harder to install. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/

Can't get startwin.bat to work
I have been using cygwin for years and the X client under cygwin for about a year. In order to get X to work, I have to make sure that I am running bash and then run startxwin.sh to get it to work. Well, I've been trying to get it to work with just startxwin.bat but I am not successful. It seems to have a problem with the run commands. Here are the run commands: run XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l I do have cygwin installed in c:\progra~1\cygwin and I have modified startxwin.bat so that SET CYGWIN_ROOT=c:\progra~1\cygwin The last time I updated anything in cygwin as last week (first week of November). Does anyone know how to get the startxwin.bat to work? Just a little more background. When I mean that it does not work, I mean that the X shows up as an icon next to the clock but nothing else happens. If I right click on the X, nothing happens. I have to use the Task Manger to kill XWin.exe. Thanks, Mike __ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com

Why Xming.exe?
Some comments on why *I* think Xming.exe might be useful: * CygWin is difficult to deploy. There are various reasons, but the most important is that CygWin does not support side-by-side installs. Some users don't care about CygWin, all they want is SSH and a stable X server and they'll be happy for years. Another example: I have some other programs (GCC embedded toolchain) that hasn't changed in a year or two and I don't want those destablised by a new version of CygWin. CygWin itself does not have any nasty dependencies that I know about. * CygWin is always in flux. Who knows if todays version is going to work? (If you install CygWin every 3 months or so, there are bound to be new and improved versions). * Download/install size is not important. If a single 20Mbyte offline installable .exe gave me SSH + CygWin, I'd be happy. What is 200Mbytes of harddisk space among friends these days? * There are two many options and questions with CygWin. I imagine that Xming.exe can come with a ~zero questions installer. -- Øyvind Harboe http://www.zylin.com

AFAIK, cygcheck should be operational by the time setup has gotten to installing X. It really has to be operational since cygcheck.exe comes along with the Cygwin DLL. Also, you could even run, oh I don't know, it's just a pretty drastic suggestion, but you *could* run ps -ef. In fact I did not use ps -ef (and cygcheck by the the way) for two reasons: 1/ I was following what happened with the windows task manager tool (where I followed the memory consumption) 2/ At this step of the install, you do not have the .bat or .sh command Just run the programs directly from the cygwin directory: c:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck -r -s -v blah1 c:\cygwin\bin\ps -ef blah2 Also, I believe that Gerrit suggested sending the contents of the setup log files. I was wondering, if I launch setup.exe from my first installed cygwin on another directory using strace, will there be interactions between the old and new install ? Is it possible to have two completely different cywin install ? If yes I would know what is the loop in the program. yes or no ? strace is for cygwin programs. setup.exe is not a cygwin program. It can't be. Requiring cygwin1.dll to install cygwin1.dll would never work. I appreciate that you're trying to think of solutions here but there have already been a couple of suggestions that no one seems to have bothered to follow through on.

Why Xming.exe?
I saw Chris post, and I must admit I was a bit put off by it. I believe Xming.exe addresses some issues that should and could be addressed by CygWin. Threatening to fire him(in public no less), is counterproductive, unthankful and rude. A fruitful discussion on Xming.exe could help enumerate what issues Xming.exe addresses and how CygWin could grow to address them. -- Øyvind Harboe http://www.zylin.com

I was not threatening to fire anyone. I was asking if Alexander was going to be devoting most of his time to this new endeavor and, if so, wondering whether we needed to find another maintainer for Cygwin/X. It sounded like he had some major plans for Xming. If Alexander says No (as I expect him to) then that's the end of it. If he's more interested in pursuing a native-windows version of X, then I guess we have a problem. A fruitful discussion on Xming.exe could help enumerate what issues Xming.exe addresses and how CygWin could grow to address them. You *do* know that there is a mingw mailing list specifically designed for MingGW applications, right? We don't discuss MinGW in the cygwin list. I don't see any reason why we should have to discuss MinGW here. I'll bet that the MinGW folks would not mind creating a MinGW/X mailing list just for this endeavor. However, on the off chance that I'm being hasty, why don't you give me a for instance of what you think a discussion of Xming would do to help Cygwin? From my point of view, it seems like it would be the other way around. It seems like there would be a lot of discussion about the best way to handle things in a native windows app that are already handled in the Cygwin DLL. This is what I see in the MinGW mailing list. cgf

Why Xming.exe?
First of all: I love CygWin! If I didn't, I would not passionatly dive into this discussion. :-) Here are a couple of reasons why I think a discussion of Xming.exe can bring something to CygWin. Basically, I believe that the Xming.exe would never have seen the light of day if if all was well with CygWin. It is a cry for help. Also, I believe the next useful solution to the set of problems that CygWin is facing is non-local. I think it is in the interest of CygWin to allow discussions and hacks to wander somewhat freely. If you stomp out this discussion, you are going to make people look elsewhere for a solution to the CygWin mess. See bottom of this message for what I mean. Some issues that CygWin could address to make Xming.exe moot: - Side-by-side install. There is a need for e.g. SSH + and an X server in a single package that is easily deployable. This package *must* be unaffected by updates to CygWin. This would of course not be uniquely useful for X server, but would be useful for e.g. multiple independent GCC toolchains used for embedded development. E.g. its more than once that CygWin updates have broken http://sources.redhat.com/ecos tools, without bringing any new features or improvements for those tools. The many examples of cygwin1.dll being distributed along with various applications, is further evidence of this need(which is contrary to the CygWin license, BTW). - Side-by-side means CygWin next to CygWin, and CygWin next to any Windows program. - It is currently impossible for the casual programmer to debug CygWin X using GDB. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-10/msg00159.html - CygWin is a pain to install. It takes long to download(many files more than size with a broad connection), takes long to install and many things can and do go wrong. - CygWin messes with Windows environment variables, breaking other programs. - CygWin is broken by other programs using the Windows environment variables. - CygWin is always in motion. There is no CygWin distribution version like the Linux distributions operate with. There is no way to install a specific old boring CygWin to run some tools that never change. --- ever-so-slightly off topic :-) --- Could I delete CygWin? What I would need in it is place was the ability for Windows programs to interface to Linux programs. Where those programs run(under Linux or under Windows) is somewhat secondary. If I could somehow tell the Windows programs to talk to a Linux box (http://www.colinux.org or a real Linux box) as if those Linux programs ran under Windows, then it would do the trick. http://www.colinux.org is an interesting case, because they pretty much support side-by-side installs already. The Windows programs that need to interface to the Linux programs only talk to those programs through the following mechanisms: - stdin/stdout/stderr - ctrl-c to abort applications(there is a name for this communication channel, but I don't know what it is). - current directory - files (from Windows to Linux box and vice versa). - console (What did I leave out?) Below is an a rough idea on how this might be solved: - create a Windows filing system that makes the Linux box filing system available through e.g. a drive letter. This filing system is different from Samba. This filing system talks to the Linux box using SSH, say. - when Windows is accessing a Linux executable via this filing system, it does not serve up the Linux executable. Instead it serves up a Windows executable. This Windows executable uses, say, SSH to communicate with the Linux box to execute the command. Lets call this executable an SSH-Proxy. - The Linux box needs to be able to see the files on the Windows machine. Mechanism TBD. The SSH-Proxy knows how to translate from a Windows filename to the Linux filename. It uses this capability to set the current directory before executing the Linux command. - The SSH-Proxy tells the Linux box about the limitations of the Windows console. Example: - On the Windows machine the root of the Linux box is accessible via the drive letter e:\ - e:\etc maps to /etc, e:\usr to /usr, etc. - e:\exec is special. It does not map to /exec. Instead it is used in execution of programs that are in the path, as shown below. - On the Linux box, there is an equivalent of /cygdrive, which I'll call /windows To grep my local harddrive I would: c:\bar e:\exec\grep -r foo * On the Linux box, this would actually be executed as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /windows/c/bar $ grep -r foo * -- Øyvind Harboe http://www.zylin.com

rlogind vs. smb
Howdy! We have some windows machines running Cygwin to which we'd like to connect via rsh. It all works well if the passwd entry's home field points to a local directory, and the .rhosts file in that directory contains the proper values. The accounts are hosted on a linux based file server. The unixes get the home directory via NFS, and the fileserver also shares via samba. If you set the home to //fileserver/share in the cygwin box's /etc/passwd, then .rhosts suddenly stops being valid, and you're asked for a password. What's funny is that if you put the right password in, then a shell is started, and the pwd is the share, and the files therein are available, including .rhosts. So basically: 1. does anybody know why rlogind doesn't like SMB shares? 2. does anybody know where rlogind logs it's complaints to? 3. while we're added, how do you get rlogind to be promiscuous?

Unresolved symbols in libstdc++
Greetings (I posted this in cygwin.talk, but then I realized that this was a much more suited place) I'm trying to get a fairly large C++ project to compile using the mingw tools in cygwin.

looking for an arm9 cross-compiler
Hi, I used to work with Linux and I'm trying Cygwin. Does anyone know if there's an existing cross compiler for arm9 package? I could not find it in the package list. Otherwise, what is the solution?

Bizarre. I've noted this in setup's bug tracker for attention when my

Luke, if setup is failing to create that key, you must be trying to install

Ah, didn't look closely at that.
Ok, then according to Luke's original post
It fails due to mount, apparently. A panel titled Mount pops up
after the download stage, saying: The operation completed
successfully, and then setup exits.
..which must imply that RegCreateKeyEx returns some value other than
ERROR_SUCCESS, but at the same time GetLastError is returning zero. Time to
check MSDN:
quote usage=fair
If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.
If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code defined in
Winerror.h. You can use the FormatMessage function with the
FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag to get a generic description of the error.
quote usage=fair
...which *implies* that the error code is being returns, not SetLastError'd, and
so we're discarding it early. Perhaps the following patch would be more like
it:

rebaseall crashes
Hi, I can't use XML::LibXML Perl module under cygwin, cause it needs libxml.a and cygwin only delivers libxml2.la and libxml2.dll.a (bug?) So I installed libxml by compiling it myself. I now have libxml2 installed in /usr/local/lib/ When I try to use the Perl module, perl crashes with this: C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe (1392): *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll to same address as parent(0x10A) != 0x10B 5 [main] perl 1804 sync_with_child: child 1392(0x2A0) died before initialization with status code 0x1 6395 [main] perl 1804 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted?

Certainly, the confusing part was getting an error that stopped setup and which was reported as mount: the command completed successfully. I've tried again today with Administrators privileges and it's worked much better. Still not installed, though. It's stopped at the 99% Install stage, with setup reporting for the last hour: Installing xwinwm-0.0.5-1 /usr/bin/wimwm.exe There seems to be a lot of disc activity, and the title (99% - Cygwin Setup) flickering as if it's being refreshed a lot. The last message in /var/log/tmp/setup.log is Ending Cygwin Install, but it's from 9 days ago, at my previous attempt. I started looking for the real log find via explorer's search, while running procexp, which shows that the I/O was churning away in the Other category - the number of reads and writes weren't changing, just the other category (presumably VM activity). I dropped the priority from normal to low, and a few minutes later a panel popped up saying: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error Runtime Error! Program \\samba\install\win32\cygwin\setup.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. In the resources view of setup.exe (in procexp), it did mention one item of interest amongs the thousands of files etc.: KeyedEvent \KernelObjects\CritSectOutOfMemoryEvent which sounds like a bit of a giveaway. Indeed, Task Manager showed the system was thrashing - instead of displaying memory, it was showing page faults, which had climbed to 1.93GB (the system only has 512MB of RAM). By the time it had crashed with the above panel, Task Manager was showing setup of using only 10MB of memory. Yet as soon as I clicked on OK for the runtime error, the pages were very quickly handed back to the system and it returned to about 100MB of memory in use (no page faults). So it sounds like setup.exe was the culprit. This is an old version of setup. I notice that my post-install stuff detected the problem of a failed install (symptom: missing /etc/profile file). The sanest thing to do will be to reboot, and try installing a much more recent Cygwin. If that fails, I'll scrub the installed files and reg keys, and try again. I'll let you know what happens.

If those APIs are not working for Clearcase then it is unlikely that anyone will be motivated to fix the problem on the Cygwin side. The OP was suggesting both a problem determining if something is a directory and a problem related to pathnames. Running strace my shed some light on the root cause. Would it have made you feel better if I had said for dealing with paths and determining if something is a directory? The related to pathnames was refering to the last paragraph in the initial post, which points to Cygwin (although I can't imagine how): As shown above, using vpath . ../.. /cygdrive/m/top fails, even though it should work. Using vpath . /cygdrive/m/top fails with the same errors as above. However, vpath . M:/top succeeds in the dependency check, even though M:/top should apparently be written as /cygdrive/m/top to comply to cygwin standards. If the OP is willing to do this then I hope he does it on a standard filesystem like NTFS, as I originally suggested. If there is a problem there then it is obviously not a ClearCase problem. Right.
