Of course providing as much info as below will only leave you with more newbies crying 'cygwin_split_path() : 0x61073e06' or such. + More information. Good for newbies (like me). + Basically I think it was two different questions, so splitted them up. - Lengthier. I may have found a bug in Cygwin, how can I debug it? You can use GDB [link to GDB description?] to debug the failing application. Using the 'backtrace' command within GDB will tell you which, if any, cygwin functions are being executed at the time that your application is failing. GDB works on core files generated during segmentation faults or using the 'dumper.exe' utility. It can also debug live processes. In order to properly use GDB, you must have debugging symbols enabled, and (when using a core dump file) preferably run GDB on the machine where the failure occurred. See [next item] and [next next item]. GDB does not show any function names (only ???) when debugging core files? In order for GDB to look up function names, it needs to be able to find binary files that match the version(s) that was used when the core dump was generated. This usually means that the easiest way to get the correct output is to run GDB on the machine where the crash originally occurred. Also avoid upgrading that particular machine (Cygwin and OS) until you are done debugging. If you need to debug on a different machine, you can get the relevant DLL and EXE files from the original machine and stuff them in the same paths as they originally resided. Run GDB on the core file and run 'info dll' to get the names of the files needed. Alternatively, if using 'dumper.exe', do a verbose run and grab the filenames like this: dumper -d filename winpid | grep added module. The symbols in gdb are missing or look funny (eg. are just hex values)? Debugging symbols are stripped from distributed Cygwin binaries, so any symbols that you see in gdb are basically meaningless. It is also a good idea to use the latest code in case the bug has been fixed, so you will need to follow the instructions at [/faq/faq_3.html#SEC102] to build your own debugging version. You can also contact the mailing list for pointers (a simple test case that demonstrates the bug is very welcome).

Re: Multiple installations and 3PPs
Hi, I ran into the same problem as other did with different Cygwin version used by different 3PP's. I do not need to have them run simulanously (at least not by now), but need to switch between them in a convenient way, if anyhow possible. Christopher Faylor metioned in his mail the following: The cygwin developers know how to keep multiple versions of cygwin around for testing purposes so there really is no reason to add code just to accommodate people who are apparently using cygwin for commercial purposes without bothering to think too much about how they are installing it. Since I am not a cygwin developer I am not too familiar with how Cygwin is installed and which registry entries matter. Can anyone give hints or refer to cygwin documentation which entries are essential. Or is the following approach a promising one: 1. Install the first Cygwin environement (e.g version 1.2) 2. Extend the installation path (e.g. C:\program\cygwin) and the registry entries with the key name Cygnus Solutions with a version extension (here -1-2). 3. Install the second Cygwin environement (e.g version 1.5.10) 4. Extend the installation path (e.g. C:\program\cygwin) and the registry entries with the key name Cygnus Solutions with a version extension. (here -1-5-10 ) 5. Repeat step 3 and 4 for more Cygwin environements 6. Change the path name and the registry key name back to the original installation name for the version one wants to use.

ssh problem on Windows XP
Hello, I know, problems have been reported concerning the use of ssh on windows xp (ssh hangs). I would just like to confirm, if this is, what I'm dealing with. And perhaps somebody knows some workaround until there is a fix. I have a cygwin installation on XP at my customers and on W2K at home. My aim was to make some shellscripts I wrote available to some of the windows users via a php-interface for administrative tasks on their linux internet servers. I am using ssh with public keys to connect to the linux-servers. What works: I can ssh from my linux box to the linux servers. I can call system(ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command) from php on linux. I can do all this on my W2K box (Vmware), when I start the apache service as the same user, that has the public key. However on the XP computers, I can only use ssh from the command line, calling some script containing ssh via PHP hangs.

Of course, when you delete or overwrite files, the original file contents still take up room on the CD-R, but they are no longer accessible. The advantage is that the files are not read only as they are on a CD-ROM. This preserves the file attributes, unlike recording to a read-only CD-R. Just a thought.

However, oops, this means that the advice of using a snapshot shouldn't go into the FAQ since this isn't a permanent arrangement. Out of curiosity, would it make sense to always build the snapshot with the debug info? Thinking about the 'hierarchy of ignorance' for want of a better term, does it require more knowledge to run gdb and give a sensible report or to build the dll and then do the same? I don't think I'm putting this very well, but it may make the FAQ easier if the standard advice is to load the snaphot and use that for debugging, it removes a separate layer of potential problems in building the dll.

Re: file name inconsistencies
On Jan 20 21:19, Eric Blake wrote: Second, cygwin does not conform to POSIX when performing pathname resolution. POSIX requires, in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap04.html#tag_04_11 and in many of the syscalls, that the call fail if any component of the pathname is inaccessible. For example, stat() is required to fail with EACCES if search permission is denied for any component of the path prefix, but this example shows that cygwin is succeeding: $ cd /tmp $ mkdir d d/d1 $ chmod 0 d $ touch d/d1/f # should fail, d is inaccessible $ ls d/d1 # should fail, d is inaccessible f $ However, this may be a bug in the underlying Windows OS. I opened up Windows explorer, then browsed to the location of /tmp. Clicking on d gives C:\cygwin\tmp\d is not accessible. Access is denied. But going to the address bar, and typing in c:\cygwin\tmp\d\d1 browses right to that supposedly inaccessible nested directory! Is it worth fixing cygwin to reject paths to comply with POSIX, when Windows can still access such paths? Or is there something wrong in the ACL manipulation going on with `chmod 0', so that it is not really stripping all access rights? We (the Cygwin developers) discussed this already long ago and came to the conclusion that it's not worth the hassle. Actually it's not a Windows bug, but a feature. NT knows about a user right called Bypass traverse checking, SeChangeNotifyPrivilege, which is given to all users by default. This is the right, which allows a user to access all files with a matching ACL, without checking the parent folders. What you should be able to do (but which I never tested myself) is, to remove this right from your own process, so that this process works automatically under POSIX access rules. The problem is that we can't do this in Cygwin without asking for a lot of trouble. We don't know how people manage their system, resp. how their admins manage their system. I can easily imagine that after doing this automatically in Cygwin, Cygwin applications don't work anymore on 50% of the installations. I'm not sure if I really want that :-) Finally, is there any reason that `df --local' cannot find any local filesystems? It is rather odd to see the coreutils testsuite skip tests because there is no local filesystem that it can find, when I know for a fact that my machine has a local hard-drive at c:\.

VSUSP 14, #define VSWTC 15, but no VSWTCH anywhere! Is VSWTC a typo
for the intended VSWTCH? And why are VSUSP and VSWTC distinct, when
CSWTCH and CSUSP are the same and coreutils was trying to use VSUSP as an

Looks like a bug in coreutils to me. The above mentioned defines are
not equal, but equivalent defined on Linux.

Re: Multiple installations and 3PPs
Roman here is what I do. 1) Install first instance of cygwin. 2) Export the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACINE/.../Cygnus Solutions to a file. Use a filename that represents the install. 3) Delete the registry key. 4) If you installed to c:\cygwin, rename that to something else temporarily during the other installs. Briefly, the installer is distracted by it even if you specify some other root directory for the second install. 5) Install a second instance of cygwin (someplace other than where the first was installed. 6) Save the registry keys for this install as in step 2. 7) Repeat steps 3, 5 and 6 as many times as you want. 8) Rename that original install back to C:\cygwin. To switch installed instances: 1) Kill all cygwin processes (don't forget daemons like sshd and cron). 2) Double click on the registry key file of the instance that you want to run.. 3) You are ready to go.

Bill Hughes wrote: I don't think I'm putting this very well, but it may make the FAQ easier if the standard advice is to load the snaphot and use that for debugging, it removes a separate layer of potential problems in building the dll. And there's still the issue that problems that are notoriously hard to debug, ie. transient/sporadic issues such as race conditions are subject to timing differences and therefore miniscule changes in code. A different compile will yield different results, and will seemingly correct some issues in some environments even if the bug in question has not been fixed. So even if it is usually the best thing to grab the newest snapshot to see if the problem should by chance be fixed, I think there is some problems that need to be debugged against the version on which they were discovered. Having a ready and available debug version built on the same PC and based on the same source as the stock Cygwin binaries is in this case the sane option, IMHO. (A separate symbols file that doesn't interfer with the binaries would as mentioned earlier be even better.) Personally, I of course have other reasons for wanting a ready-made debug version. Foremost, because I have Cygwin installed in production environments where I can't just go around and replace binaries with snapshot versions as I please. Things here and there could potentially break from release to release, and it seems that they tend to do :-) I can very well understand and accept if I contact the mailing list and get told, if you're not using the latest snapshot, you're gonna have to locate and pin your bugs yourself. It could even be a FAQ entry. But having a ready-made version available just makes life so much easier for people like me who - Don't have a clue how the Cygwin sources are arranged - Have no idea of the proper way compile it - Couldn't fix a compile error if the solution slapped me in the face - Will probably do something wrong, end up with a maimed binary and spam the list with new stupid questions on how to do proper compiles and fix bizarre compile-related problems. I'm of course happily ignoring the whole aspect of leaving out the debug version forces a bunch of people to learn the intimacies of the Cygwin source so that they are able to compile it, thereby increasing the number of potential Cygwin developers. Honestly I think that it's better to provide the debug version and thereby point people to the right location in the source code, than to force people to spend weeks trying to make a succesful compile first. Opinions probably vary on this.. To sum it up, Pros: + Debugging race conditions et al possible + Debugging production systems possible + Shorter time to locate bugs? + Saner bug reports? Cons: - Less people forced to learn themselves to compile Cygwin From my point of view, out-of-the-box debugging would be SO nice. Regards /david PS.

Very strange rxvt problem - game hangs when it is running
This one is very specialized, and I don't expect to get it fixed, and I have no idea why it should happen but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. If I'm running rxvt, my online game Day of Defeat (a Half-Life mod) hangs when finishing up connecting to a server. It gets about half way, and then just stops. If I exit rxvt, it connects just fine. Very strange. And just to be sure, I tried it again now: 1] Run Day of Defeat - connects and runs just fine. 2] Start rxvt. Try DoD again. It gets about halfway through its startup process, then hangs. 3] Quit rxvt and try again. DoD works fine. I tried the same procedure with the regular Cygwin bash shell, and it behaves the same way. I'm not sure exactly where in the connection process that DoD is hanging; sometime after downloading the security module, for those of you familiar with the game.

Debugging a transient problem that shows up on 1.5.12 with the current cvs is taking a gamble. There is a high probability you will first stumble on another bug. If you have a debug dll, you can debug from a dump, or use the debug dll in a production environment with just in time debugging enabled. Once the bug is found, you may conclude it's gone from cvs, but that's a firm (and satisfactory) conclusion. On the other hand if you can't reproduce the bug with cvs, you don't know if it's really gone ot if its likelihood is just reduced.

I've made a new version of fortune available for installation.
Thanks for bracing the storm and doing this!
One thing, though: this version is much, much slower than the previous
one. It takes around a second to produce a fortune, while the old one
ran pretty much instantaneously. (This is on a high end XP box.)
When I run strace fortune, the new version produces 16,771 lines of
output. The old version produces 467 lines...
I won't attach it to this message, for size reasons.
You might think: what's the big deal, a second to run fortune, but I'm
running fortune from my prompt(*), so I now have to wait up to a second
for my prompt to appear.

I don't remember a case of someone looking at the cygwin code and saying I have looked at all of the places where there are potential conflicts between different versions of cygwin and here is how I would handle them. For future mailing list spelunkers -- you don't win points by: - making suggestions without investigating how things are done now and assuming that the developers probably missed simple things - asking for increasingly detailed explanations about the problems so that you don't have to actually look at the source - implying that it's something that is simple to do but the developers are just mean, - asserting that vendors absolutely need this functionality so that they can all put as many versions of cygwin1.dll on a system as necessary without worrying about other installations I don't know if anyone remembers but many years ago, when there was a new cygwin release, you'd have to rebuild things because the name of the DLL changed every time. That ensured that multiple versions of cygwin could exist on the same system. It also ensured that programs compiled with different versions would not understand each other's ttys and might not be able to pass command line arguments to each other and that /foo meant different things to different programs running on the same computer. There was also a splinter project formed which had, as it's goal, allowing multiple versions of a cygwin-like dll to co-exist. Look for it on sourceforge. I don't think it's very active these days. The problem here is that I can't think of any way of reliably dealing with this problem which would not force an unpleasant discipline on the cygwin developers, requiring them to always be sure not to break the cygwin abi which deals with the various ways that cygwin programs communicate with each other. In fact, I've made a couple of changes in the latest snapshots which would have taken a lot more time if I had had to make sure that cygwin 1.5.12 could cleanly interact with cygwin 1.5.13. You *can* do some things to the DLL, such as those which are used by the test suite which allow two versions to coexist without causing problems. However, the test suite is careful to put a barrier in the middle between processes which are being tested (thanks to DJ Delorie) so that there are no problems with command-line argument passing or with cygheap inheritance. So, this is not a general solution. If we were to implement some sort of good enough scheme, you can be sure that it would elevate the amount of tech support that we received here. However, anyone who really wants to do something similar to the test suite can use the same mechanism. Just don't send your problem reports here. If you want to use this mechanism, then you should be savvy enough to know how to deal with problems when they occur. If someone really does have a brilliant idea on how to deal with this problem, please demonstrate your brilliance with a patch.

If you can't figure out how to build cygwin, then you probably aren't going to provide much in the way of useful feedback if you had a debuggable version. Pierre already submitted an argument against this (the likelihood of the bug may be reduced in CVS). Here's another argument: it is sometimes impractical to either replace the existing DLL or replicate the same exact environment for a debug version. Why not debug exactly what fails? Besides, since the releases aren't tagged in CVS (yes, that old quibble again), it's a gamble on whether you're even building the right version... I would also submit that, IMO, helping people run a debugger and figure things out in the debugger is an order of magnitude more difficult than providing basic tech support Agreed. So we don't teach them to debug, we simply provide them with debugging symbols. The debugger is only marginally more useful when the debugging symbols are available anyway.

Re: sshd on windows
There are several. You can purchase a Windows SSH server from F-Secure or SSH Corporation. The servers support SSH2 and SFTP. I haven't looked at the F-Secure version in a long time, but the SSH Corporation version supports PKI in addition to user name / password. If you google for 'ssh server win32' you can get lots of pointers. I have no idea which of the shareware / freeware ssh servers are using cygwin; so you can research that on your own. -Jason On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 10:58:15 -0500, Jennifer Lai [REMOVED] wrote: Hi, Does anyone know if there is a cygwin.dll free ssh server for windows?

Corinna Vinschen wrote: IMHO you're looking from the wrong direction. People capable of debugging the Cygwin DLL are usually also capable of building it. The only reason that the above is true is because you do not provide the means for people to debug the Cygwin DLL properly. I'm wondering how somebody should be able to debug an application at all, if this person stumbles over using the compiler tools. In the real world there is no strong binding between being able to compile a properly functioning Cygwin DLL, and being able to look through the source code, follow the developer's chain of thought and figuring out why things do not work given the appropriate debug information. You imply that in order to compile a working Cygwin, an intelligence quotient of X is required, while in order to debug it, a higher intelligence quotient X + Y is required. That's just not true. Entirely different sets of skills are involved. I'll admit though that being able to compile a functioning Cygwin makes debugging easier by removing a lot of the brain work required, and replacing it with simple trial-and-error. That approach is unfortunately just plain impossible when it comes to race conditions (eg.) or production systems. -- 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/

Hmm, I never noticed. So that's why I didn't get offended. ;-) Additionally, the old fortune had fewer fortunes in far fewer files. I think that's certainly part of the reason. However, that probably doesn't explain the whole slowdown: there are now about 35 times as many system calls... By the way, I'm also running fortune-mod version 9708, with almost as many fortunes, on a Linux box (with lower specs than my Windows box), and there it's running much faster: 0.015s on the first run. There are no *.u8 symlinks there, by the way. And I tried removing those from the Cygwin /usr/share/games/fortunes directory: that actually makes it about twice as fast... Are those *.u8 symlinks doing anything useful? Nevertheless, I will see if there's any way to speed up the selection from any files.

With only two fortune files (one regular, one offensive), and without the .u8 symlinks, it runs pretty smoothly: 0.064 seconds. (For the record: for the offensive fortunes, use strfile -x.)

I tried the same procedure with the regular Cygwin bash shell, and it behaves the same way. [snip] Any ideas on what it could be? A WAG, and I may be really off on this: Cygwin uses TCP/IP sockets (which essentially require a TCP/IP port) to emulate Unix domain sockets. If rxvt reserves a Unix domain socket (even if it's not using X), and DoD tries to access the same port, because it's somehow predefined and it expects it to be free, there could be a conflict. I can't think of anything else in Cygwin that would interfere with a (presumably) non-Cygwin application. Well, unless the regular bash shell does it too, that probably isn't correct. Like I said, it is very weird and it took me some time to figure it out. The regular bash that you tried is really a login shell. That *can* run X-related stuff, e.g., from /etc/profile.d scripts. A real test would be to try a non-login bash (just run c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -i from a CMD prompt). If that doesn't interfere with DoD, it would make my WAG more probable. Otherwise we'll have to look for other possible reasons. Okay, I tried it this way too, and it still hangs DoD. FWIW, running MSYS (MinGW's bash), does not hang DoD. Very Odd. Yep.

NOW.. setopt HISTIGNOREDUPS HISTIGNORESPACE EXTENDED_HISTORY setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY SHARE_HISTORY HISTSIZE=300 SAVEHIST=300 HISTFILE=~/.history The last line, HISTFILE, freezes the cygwin-distributed zsh (4.2.0) just after reading the config-files. Removing just that line creates a bunch of .history-XXX files. Hm... I get only a single ~/.history file. On cygwin I configured (by setting named FIFOs to work to false) and compiled zsh 4.2.3, but it doesn't seem to share the history. 4.2.3s' configure is broken (on Cygwin) right now, so unless you know what you're doing, I'd wait on it. Anyone who have been messing with the history as I do? This works for me without any problems, using 4.2.0 in Cygwin.

Great. Just put the above in the FAQ, plus some words about needing an unstripped dll. Information about building the DLL is already in the FAQ. If you refer to http://cygwin.com/faq/faq0.html#SEC102 it has the apparently obsolete information about needing a separate w32api and it recommends to use cvs. You included the section where I said it was probably a good idea to use CVS or a snapshot. So, the FAQ is accurate there. You're right that the rest of it should be updated. However, if the fact that the cygwin FAQ entry is mildly inaccurate was a true stumbling block for people who wanted to debug the DLL, then I think we would have seen a complaint about it by now. I think it's pretty clear that the people who are clamoring for this don't really know what they want and assume that a dll with debugging symbols will either enable them to debug the dll without going through the awful rigors of building or they think they would have a better opportunity of having cygwin tech support look at their back traces. Neither is precisely true. However, I have already said that it is on my todo list to try to provide a debuginfo package for cygwin.
