Apache-Cygwin problem
Hi, I know this subject has already been approached many times, but i still haven't found solutions before writing to this list. I've installed apache-1.3.24-4 and apache-php-4.2.0-2 with the cygwin's setup, and some problems seems to appear : -first, the apache-php.sh scipt seems not to have done his job' correctly. So i rebased dlls by myself by typing (new bash, no other processes running) rebaseall -v. It works fine. -Then i type /usr/sbin/apachectl start, which tells me: *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\bin\cygbz21.0.dll to same address as parent(0x66) != 0x67DE /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started so i type : $ rebase -v -d -b 0x6800 -o 0x1 /bin/cygbz21.0.dll /bin/cygbz21.0.dll : new base = 67fd, new size = 3 ...but apachectl still crashes, and sometimes the name of the dll which is impossible to remap changes(cygintl-1.dll, ...) So, what's the problem with apache ? Why don't the rebase commands i type work? I spent a lot of time trying to run apache and it's the only problem i have with cygwin, which is very great!! So if you have any suggestions, or if you could explain me how to install apache+php on cygwin, it would be great!

Xfree86 Removed Packages
Dear all, I have installed cygwin but I realised that all Xfree86 package has been removed, I didn't pay to much attention to that considering that X11 was there. But when I type the startx command I only have a black X window coming up, which doesn't seem right, as I had installed it before and it use to be green and white and with multiple windows, this one is just a prompt in black with yellow font. Also I am trying to install ns-2 on this platform and the fact that some of the xfree libraries are not installed seems to be causing problems. How coud I install Xfree separatly from cygwin?

[Patch] fhandler.cc (pust_readahead): end-condition off.
Hi,
A real bugfix this time.
When fhandler_base::puts_readahead is given a (non -1) len-parameter,
in the current implementation, not len characters are stowed, but len
z-strings. This affects at least fhandler_pty_master::accept_input in
fhandler_tty.cc.
Following (trivial, I'd say) patch ought to fix it.

The latter doesn't actually rename the account itself - it merely adds a Full Name setting which is displayed by the Windows GUI instead of the actual account name. Thanks. I will try that as soon as I figure out how to run mkpasswd. Meanwhile, it sounds like a good idea to include this bit of info as well as info on mkpasswd in the FAQ.

Re: Environment variables system privilages
Thanks. This works well enough. But I take it there is no universal command to check for system permissions. The procedure is just try a command that needs system privilages and watch the exit status. Also for the benefit of anyone reading this thread - there was an error in my original post. I dropped the Environment key from the registry path for setting system environment variables. It should have read. regtool set -s 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\FOO' 'BAR' Jason Igor Pechtchanski wrote: On Sat, 4 Dec 2004, Jason Pearce wrote: I have two seemingly simple questions that I just can't find the answers to. Any assistance would be appreciated 1. What's the right way to add add environment variables into the user and system maps? Currently I am using regtool to manipulate the registry. For instance to set an environment variable FOO=BAR I do: regtool set -s '\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\FOO' 'BAR' or regtool set -s 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\FOO' 'BAR' The first form places it in the user's map, the second in the system map. But will this work across patform? Is there a more preferred method? Well, that's probably the best you could hope for, if you want system-wide settings. I'm not aware of any other command-line tool that would set these. If you only want to set environment variables for Cygwin shells, you might want to edit /cygwin.bat instead. 2. How can I test whether my script is running with system privilages? ie I want to write a script that installs a mount and sets and environment variable. If the script is running with system privilages I want to make the change system wide. Otherwise, in the user's profile. Why not try mounting with system privileges first? 'mount' will fail if it's unable to set mounts, and you can fall back on user mounts.

Okay this one is picking at gnits, but autoheader 1.9 will always issue a warning message when you ask it to produce warning message because the authoheader wrapper passes --warning= and -W as --warning=,blah,blah and -W,blah,blah instead of --warning=blah,blah and -Wblah,blah. Here's another patch. I think this works. $ diff -ru autoheader-orig autoheader --- autoheader-orig 2003-12-02 01:21:50.00100 -0500 +++ autoheader 2004-12-05 09:28:10.570940800 -0500 @@ -115,12 +115,14 @@ --warnings=* | -W?* ) - warnings=$warnings,$optarg + test $warnings warnings=$warnings,$optarg + test -z $warnings warnings=$optarg shift ;; --warnings | -W ) test $# = 1 eval $exit_missing_arg shift - warnings=$warnings,$1 + test $warnings warnings=$warnings,$1 + test -z $warnings warnings=$1 shift ;; -- -- 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/
short fread(), but no ferror/feof
I've discovered that fread(ptr, size, nitems, stream) sometimes returns a value less than nitems, but does not set feof() nor ferror(). As I understand, this is incorrect: All fread() documentation I've found confirms this. For example, IEEE Std 1003.1 says: Upon successful completion, fread() shall return the number of elements successfully read which is less than nitems only if a read error or end-of-file is encountered. I've only noticed the problem when using fread() on a pipe, and when setting a (another) file descriptor in the same application in close-on-exec mode. The details are on http://python.org/sf/1071516. I've been using the latest Cygwin (as of 2004-12-04) on Windows 98. To me, this looks like a Cygwin bug.

Cygwin FIFO does not see EOF (NT4sp6, DLL 1.5.11)
It appears to me that pipe (FIFO) readers don't get the same indication of EOF in Cygwin that they do in Linux. The following Korn script works as I think it should with Linux: at startup it shows that the FIFO doesn't exist and there's no cat running; then it prints the test text; then it shows that the FIFO and the cat go away. With Cygwin, the cat never finishes, even though nobody has the pipe open for writing. Experimentation by running the echo and cat manually (in separate shells and windows) lead me to think that the cat simply never sees EOF on the pipe. There are no error messages, but the cat doesn't terminate. I've tried this on Samba-mounted ext2 drives and local (native NTFS) drives in the Cygwin environment but it always behaves the same way (i.e., I think it's unlikely to be Samba- or NFS-related). A cygcheck log is attached.

commands not found
First I'd like to say that I am sorry for having to ask this. But I have searched the site, read the faqs and documentation, and poked around the directory structure and I am still at a loss. Basically I just can't use any of the commands. 'cd' and 'pwd' seem to work, but 'ls' and even 'man' don't. Most things that I want to use I am told that the command is not found. I can go to the /bin direcotry and type ./ls, and it works. So I guess that maybe my path is not right. The path in the /usr/etc/default/etc/profile is sufficient. And this is the only place that I can find the .bashrc files and such. What do I need to do? And why would this functionality not be there from the beginning. It shouldn't be this hard to make this work. I must be doing something stupid.

For example your Windows login name appears just after U-RODRIGONOTEBOOK\ above, while your name appears just before. So you should do what the faq says. Either change your Windows login name to something without space and run mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd or edit /etc/passwd and change the name (first field) in your record.

more Cygwin
Emmett, I enjoyed reading your article Comparing Cygwin and MKS Toolkit at http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=8989/ur0408i/ and have a couple comments. First, 'more' actually is available for Cygwin (I did a quick port a long time ago), it's just not installed by default. Look for it Text category in the Cygwin setup.exe package chooser. As for the default shell, I agree that changing it to pdksh or zsh isn't as easy as it could be. I'd also like to mention that while Cygwin is free (as in both no price and freedom), like other open source projects the developers are also users who are building their own skills and having fun. So in that sense I like Neal Stephenson's analogy that open source is like car enthusiasts. Sure, you can get a free car out of the deal, but the real point is that enthusiasts like to build cars and find the thought of a poorly built one ludicrous. Anyway, thanks for your positive remarks about Cygwin, Joshua Daniel Franklin p.s. I haven't used it, but if you ever do another comparison you might include UWIN, which I believe does use ksh by default: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/ -- 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/
