Re: Packaging lapack, blas, etc

What is the best way to support (ie select from) multiple installed library versions at run time? Simply make certain the correct version is copied to /usr/bin, or add the path to the correct version to the $PATH environmental string? Or something else? To /usr/bin if you depend on them on startup. However as it looks like, if you demand-load (dlopen) them later after doing some cpu detection, you can put them anywhere, preferably into /usr/lib/package or /usr/libexec/package -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/

Cygwin Xfree not functional on laptop with wireless
All: I have installed Cygwin Xfree on my T40 laptop and yesterday when in the office over a normal wired ethernet connection, it was working fine. Today, I am working from home over a wireless connection, and Cygwin has become completely non-functional. The bash shell shows nothing, basically it's just dead. Running the startxwin.bat file from a normal DOS window shows the usual start message. The X icon appears, but will display nothing. Eventually, the X icon vanishes, apparently a silent crash. Any clue what is going on here? Regards, Jeff
re Cygwin/X
Hi I had written to you a couple of minutes back. I think I was able to locate the cygx11-6.dll file. The problem was that the path has to be defined in the cygwin.bat for the XP system to locate the files while executing. I defined the following path SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;c:\cygwin\bin in the batch and it worked. Sorry for the trouble! Raman

Using rsync to sync to NTFS: permission issues
Hi, I (want to) use rsync under cygwin to sync files from a Linux box to a WinXP box. I want to maintain a full backup, including the file permissions. First, this is how far I got: - the XP box uses an NTFS partition to write the back-up on. - rsync runs on the XP box (as it is by far the muscle of the two and can't have a listening port open) and uses the -e ssh option. - cygwin ntea is on, ntsec is left on too. - I am administrator on the WinXP box and attached those credentials to UID 0 undercygwin. rsync is indeed able to set file credentials. - I made all accounts needed on the XP box, as XP doesn't accept use of account / group numbers that aren't tied to an account Now the problem: - rsync locks itself out sometimes: when I sync a file my way with permissions like this: rwxrwx--- user1:user1 rsync will make it just fine. But: when it wishes to update that file next time, it has no access. Likewise it makes folders with such permissions and then can't access them to write the files into them. - rsync handles this rather badly btw: it goes to 100% CPU use and stays there forever and ever, not getting any further - this non-access is consistent with NTFS file permissions: even an administrator can't normally browse through folders to which he has no access, but: he should be able to make backups of them / place those back, which is what we are doing here. - WinXP info tell me that to get this special access the application must use the NTFS back-ups API. Apperently cygwin+rsync does not.. how can I change that?

Apperently cygwin+rsync does not.. how can I change that? Such an effort would be best done with a native port of rsync, I'd think. Adding Win32-specific calls to Cygwin rsync would be missing the whole point of Cygwin, I think. Bottom line, I think if I had a hard requirement to back up files with permissions from a Linux box to a Win32 box, I'd just tar them up and send the tar file to the PC. If you don't compress the tar file, there's a nonzero chance that rsync can still save some I/O when synchronizing after the first copy. -- 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/

Don't know, but actually it only refuses to enter the
C:/cygwin/cygdrive directory, where the windows disks
are mounted. It is ok everywhere else.
Ha. /cygdrive is a virtual directory, intended to access Windows disks
from inside Cygwin, not vice versa. Why go to C:/cygwin/cygdrive/c/, when
you can simply go to C:/?
I would have preferred to have a consistent view of the
directory tree from within cygwin, starting from / as
the root, but as I say it's a minor point.

pdksh not setting $? with exit status of commands
When I execute commands in the pdksh shell that should set an exit value, $? is not being set. When I use the bash shell, it is. In pdksh: /c/windevel grep o regexps oo /c/windevel echo $? 0 /c/windevel grep Z regexps /c/windevel echo $? 0 In bash: /c/windevel grep o regexps oo /c/windevel echo $? 0 /c/windevel grep Z regexps /c/windevel echo $? 1 Grep is just one command I'm using for demonstration. This is true of all commands I've tried so far. Even when I write my own script and exit 1 from it, $? is zero afterwards, which is really hurting my automation efforts. Oh, and I have to use a ksh-like shell, because the same scripts need to run on an AIX box with ksh and no bash.

Because it is extremely common to distribute an application along with the correct version of the support packages. AFAICT, The OP merely wanted to be able to produce a binary that they knew would work on their customer's system. AFAIK, all that is required to do that is to link against the older DLL or an older import library. I'm only drawing assumptions from the limited information in the messages but this certainly once again illustrates the point about people who think they need multiple versions of cygwin on the system.

If I distribute a Windows application using Cygwin, I want to distribute a tested working Cygwin DLL in the same package. Disk space and bandwidth are so cheap they're almost free. Testing takes time. So, to extend this reasoning, if you want to release a linux application which uses perl, you must either release the kernel along with your application or you have to stop people from using your application on linux kernels on which you haven't tested. These people already have one tested and working application on an old version of Cygwin. Now they want to run a second application validated against a newer version of Cygwin.

Ok, looks like it was included, so that's that.
The most interesting thing is whether Tcl_CreateCommand is declared, and
whether its signature corresponds to its usage in ext.c.
Here are the relevant bits.
I'm afraid I am not conversant enough with pointer and data type
mechanisms in c to make total sense of it. It appears to be fairly
advanced stuff ...
Arg #3 is a pointer to a function (Tcl_CmdProc). See where that's
declared *in the preprocessed file* (so that all macros are expanded) and
see if your declarations of GetTimeFromSecs, etc, correspond to it. The
most obvious mismatch is probably the const char* argv[] vs. your char*
argv[].

But it would be useful to eliminate the doubt about
these warnings first. If you can see any obvious mistake
below I'd appreciate it.
-- usage in ext.c ---
... (declarations at the top of the file)
static int GetTimeFromSecs(ClientData clientData, Tcl_Interp* interp,
int argc, char* argv[]);

... (a little further down)
int
Ext_Init(interp)
Tcl_Interp *interp; /* Interpreter for application. */
{
Tcl_CreateCommand(interp, GetTimeFromSecs, GetTimeFromSecs, NULL, NULL);

and, again, the warnings from the compilation ---

cc1: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent)

Don't know, but actually it only refuses to enter the
C:/cygwin/cygdrive directory, where the windows disks
are mounted. It is ok everywhere else.
Ha. /cygdrive is a virtual directory, intended to access Windows
disks from inside Cygwin, not vice versa. Why go to
C:/cygwin/cygdrive/c/, when you can simply go to C:/?
I would have preferred to have a consistent view of the
directory tree from within cygwin, starting from / as
the root, but as I say it's a minor point.
If you want to see /cygdrive as a real directory, create it (mkdir
/cygdrive should do it). However, any *Cygwin* program will interpret
/ as c:/cygwin, and not as c:/, unless your mounts are screwed up
(which they don't seem to be).

It now compiles and links without warnings and the application (FileRunner) works with the resulting .dll. I can't be certain yet if it also fixed the problem I was having, since it was intermittent. I can see how this change makes the data types agree and gets rid of the warnings. But I am quite baffled as to why this should be declared as a constant !? That argument seems to be a pointer to an array of input arguments to a function. Surely such a pointer would have to change dynamically during execution and no way could it be constant !? Oh well. These comments sort of give away my level of (in)experience I suppose... :o) Another thing is that, seeing what it was all about, I can't imagine that the warnings actually mattered, or made the resulting .dll work differently in any way (?)

a standard place to get cygwin
Once again I'm required to use cygwin. Once again I'm having trouble. I notice that when I download from different places, I get different things included. In particular, I just downloaded /installed from anl.gov and told it to install all. First time I open a cygwin window I notice a problem ... it gives me two lines of telling me it can't find grep ... (this happens while it's going through the stuff in profile.d). I check /usr/bin and sure enough there is no grep in there. I do a find in the entire cygwin directory ... it's nowhere to be found. I try copying grep from a far previous version of cygwin ... doesn't work (some kind of missing DLL error). This has happened previously on other installs and is among the primary reasons I never use cygwin unless I'm forced into it.

Today, I am working from home over a wireless connection, and Cygwin has become completely non-functional. The bash shell shows nothing, basically it's just dead. [snip] Any clue what is going on here? The bash thing sounds like a general Cygwin problem, so you should take it to the main Cygwin list (redirecting and setting Reply-To:). Do you happen to run a VPN in addition to your wireless connection? Also, please review http://cygwin.com/problems.html to see how you can provide the relevant information about your system. All: Per the instructions on the web page referred to by Igor, below, my cygcheck.out file is attached. Yes, I am running the Cisco VPN client in addition to a wireless network connection. So I just tested it with the wireless on, but the VPN off. It works fine. Therefore, the problem is the VPN connection not the wireless connection. Your cygcheck output shows that your home directory is on a network share. Can you access that share with VPN connection on? What directory does bash normally start up in? Can you run bash -i from a command prompt (i.e., omit the --login flag, so that it doesn't try to access your home directory)? If not, does bash --norc -i work? Do any other Cygwin programs (e.g., ls) work? My Cisco VPN client is version 4.0.2. My Cygwin was downloaded yesterday, so it should be fairly up-to-date. My bash shell reports 2.05b. The Cygwin information, BTW, is all contained in the cygcheck output[*]. The fact that simply turning off the VPN (as opposed to uninstalling it) makes things work suggests that it's not messing with things like TCP/IP stack, etc. Could it be simply that the VPN client sets some environment variables that interfere with Cygwin? My question, then, is how to use Cygwin, including the X server, in conjunction with my VPN connection. You'll have to debug this, as I have no problem running Cygwin on my home Win98 machine (yes, pathetic, isn't it) even when connected using Cisco VPN used by my father (I don't recall the version at the moment). If you can get one of the commands suggested above to work, it may be simply that bash tries to access your home directory and fails. If that is the case, check whether you can access your home share using Windows mechanisms -- perhaps there's a Windows/network configuration error somewhere. If you get repeatable hangs with all Cygwin programs (i.e., the VPN affects the working of the main Cygwin DLL), you'll need to use something like strace to see where it hangs (and analyze the output yourself -- please don't send unsolicited strace output to the list). The man page for strace should contain enough info to get you started. HTH, Igor [*] As I keep telling people, your Cygwin installation is only as up-to-date as the mirror you're using. You did use a mirror that's updated regularly, so in your case this doesn't apply, but I thought I'd throw this in for good measure... -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

I would think you'd rather just fix the problem and move on rather than compound your problem by wiping things out and installing everything. cgf -- 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/

How to ensure every file/dir has Administrators permissions? (ntsec, passwd, group)
I'm using ntsec on ntfs. The thing is when users restrict group and world access to their files (umask 077 or chmod g-rwx,o-rwx), the administrators group is also locked out. Very unpractical for automated backups running from the administrator account. Now, I would like every file/dir created with cygwin always to have full Administrators permissions (or any other group). I was guessing that this should be doable in the passwd/group files, but I can't figure out how. greetz, Bert -- 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/

Couple of scripts to remove duplicate packages
Hi,
I have a habit of keeping cygwin packages on my computer and updating
them from time to time using setup.exe. This saves me time when I need
to install on another computer.
This creates a problem of old versions of packages accumulating in my
download directory. I used to remove them by hand but that is a time
consuming process. Finally I wrote an awk script to help me deal with
the problem. And just for kicks I added a shell wrapper :).
Attached are the scripts. I hope they could be useful to someone else.
I am sure they can be improved but they have been useful to me as is.
Thanks,
Alex
