[Patch]: setting errno to ENOTDIR rather than ENOENT
This patch should take care of the error reported by
Eric Blake on the list, at least for disk files.
It also removes code under the condition
(opt PC_SYM_IGNORE) pcheck_case == PCHECK_RELAXED
which is never true, AFAICS.
It also gets rid of an obsolete function.
While testing, the assert (!i); on line 259 of pinfo.cc
kicks in. That's a feature because when flag PID_EXECED
the code just loops, keeping the same h0 and mapname!
Am I the only one to see that?

Ah, I see your message on the list.
You found out that
lstat(dir/x) with dir non-existing. = ENOENT
So
if (pcheck_case == PCHECK_STRICT)

Re: Fw: bug in texi2dvi, and hack patch
Hi, On Mon, Jan 24, 2005 at 09:58:16PM +0200, Eli Zaretskii wrote: AC_SUBST(TESTF, test -f) testfile=conf$$.exe touch $testfile if test -x $testfile; then test -f $testfile || TESTF=: fi rm -f $testfile this code was full of silly bugs, sorry. I apologize for the confusion. I meant: AC_SUBST(TESTF, test -f) cat conf$$.exe _ASEOF #! /bin/sh exit 0 _ASEOF chmod +x conf$$.exe if test -x conf$$; then test -f conf$$ || TESTF=: fi rm -f conf$$.exe The idea is to set TESTF=: on platforms where test -x looks for .exe, while test -f doesn't (eg. on DJGPP). TESTF is test -f on all other platforms. We use AC_SUBST to replace occurences of @TESTF@ in texi2dvi.in. and use for dir in $PATH; do if test -x $dir/$1 @TESTF@ $dir/$1; then or testf=@TESTF@ ... for dir in $PATH; do if test -x $dir/$1 $testf $dir/$1; then in texi2dvi.in . Another way to fix the problem is to adopt the solution used by autoconf: make sure that the variable $ac_executable_extensions, which is set in config.site on some platforms, gets substituted: AC_SUBST(ac_executable_extensions) and put the following to texi2dvi.in: for dir in $PATH; do for exec_ext in '' @ac_executable_extensions@; do if test -f $dir/$1 test -x $dir/$1; then ... I'm okay with this method, provided that ac_executable_extensions can be computed reliably (you didn't say how). AFAIK, ac_executable_extensions is not computed. It is set in config.site which is included by configure at the beginning of its run. It is responsibility of the installer of Cygwin or DJGPP to create this file in a place where configure can find it. The variable CONFIG_SITE can be set, or the file can be placed to $prefix/share/config.site or $prefix/etc/config.site See (autoconf.info)Site Defaults for details.

more coreutils problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The pathchk executable changed between coreutils 5.2.1 (where it stat'ed every component of the path name) and coreutils 5.3.0 (it now calls a single lstat() on the entire name) in how it checks for invalid filenames. This causes a regression on the following sequence: $ touch file $ pathchk --version | head -n 1 pathchk (GNU coreutils) 5.2.1 $ ~/coreutils-5.3.0/src/pathchk --version | head -n 1 pathchk (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0 $ pathchk file/x; echo $? pathchk: `file' is not a directory 1 $ ~/coreutils-5.3.0/src/pathchk file/x; echo $? 0 $ It looks like the lstat() call is violating POSIX - it should be checking the path prefix, note that `file' is not a directory, and set errno to ENOTDIR, but instead it is just setting ENOENT. Also, I noticed there is no setpriority() or getpriority(), but nice() is provided in unistd.h which does the same thing. It looks like winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc always returns 0 in nice() on success, contrary to POSIX (it should be the new nice value, between -NZERO and NZERO-1). Furthermore, there is no definition of NZERO in limits.h, but POSIX requires it to be defined, and at least 20, if nice() is implemented. Ultimately, `nice nice' should print 10, not 0. But since Windows only provides 4 priority levels, cygwin should maintain a separate nice value per process that is mapped into Windows values, something like: -20 to - -11, -10 to -1, 0 to 9, and 10 to 19. That would make 'nice 1 nice' print 1, but not change the process priority; but 'nice nice' would print 10 and lower the priority. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

Re: Multiple installations and 3PPs
I did not know to much about mount and regtool in Cygwin. As regtool is a Cygwin program and uses the Cygwin environment (am I wrong?) fiddling around in the registry seems to me like changing the car on the race track at full speed instead of going for a pitstop. I seemed more save to me changing the registry entries when no Cygwin is running and therefore used DOS/Windows batches. I wrote a collection of DOS/windows batch scripts, which do at least a convenient job of changing between installed Cygwin versions. I seems to work with the two versions I have from my 3PP's (V1.2 and V1.5.10) but I have not been working with it extensively. So there might still be short comings. I would like to place it some where everyone interested can download, modify and extend it. I do not want to create something like a project, simply provide it to people who might find it useful (added the description file). Maybe there exists some download page for Cygwin additionals ?

As usual, everyone follows the path of least resistance to solve problems. They take what they know and what they find out by reading and piece them together to form a solution. From reading the available documentation on mount, amateurs like myself are very unlikely to conclude that mount can be used to switch between installed instances of cygwin. Chances are that they do know something about the registry and they can easily figure out how cygwin makes use of them. So, that's what they do. If you want people to use mount, revise the documentation. Either make the statement explicitly and provide an example, or explain the workings of cygwin mounts and how cygwin starts clearly enough that readers can deduce for themselves that mount can be used.

Re: Fw: bug in texi2dvi, and hack patch
Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 11:55:24 +0100 From: Stepan Kasal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], bug-texinfo@gnu.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], cygwin@cygwin.com Another way to fix the problem is to adopt the solution used by autoconf: make sure that the variable $ac_executable_extensions, which is set in config.site on some platforms, gets substituted: AC_SUBST(ac_executable_extensions) and put the following to texi2dvi.in: for dir in $PATH; do for exec_ext in '' @ac_executable_extensions@; do if test -f $dir/$1 test -x $dir/$1; then ... I'm okay with this method, provided that ac_executable_extensions can be computed reliably (you didn't say how). AFAIK, ac_executable_extensions is not computed. It is set in config.site which is included by configure at the beginning of its run. Then, for Texinfo, we probably should set ac_executable_extensions in djgpp/config.site, since I don't want to rely on the system-wide config.site to set that (or even to exist) in a typical DJGPP installation. If Autoconf has a similar DJGPP-specific directory in its distro, it could set ac_executable_extensions there and point CONFIG_SITE to that file.

Other peoples posting suggested compiling Cygwin is not a walk in the park. 3. I had no idea of the --enable-debugging option that creates a debug version, or any of the other requirements for making the source compile (I'm sure there exists some). 4. I hate to bug the list with stupid questions on how to compile Cygwin, when all I really need is to retrieve more debug information from a running system, not compile a new one. 5. Probably more reasons. Nobody cares, so I'm going to stop the listing here :-). I just tried a regular (non-debug) compile, compiling the freshest source that comes with the stock 1.5.10, using GCC etc. from 1.5.10. It stopped compiling with this error message: /winsup/cygwin/errno.cc:154: error: external linkage required for symbol 'const char* const _sys_errlist[]' because of 'dllexport' attribute. The cause for this particular compile error is probably some minor technicality, but add up a dozen of these, and I will soon have spent a month just trying to make myself a debug DLL to match my 1.5.10 :-(. I've seen advice elsewhere to simply migrate through Cygwin versions until I happen to bump into one that works with the application in question. With limited time on my hands (I can't devote a month to finding out how to compile Cygwin proper), I think that that's maybe the most viable solution so far?.. Otherwise I may put some more effort into the whole compilation thing. There's another version of the source that comes with stock 1.5.10 which so far only complains about missing 'w32api'-something, so maybe I'll have more luck with that. -- 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/

Windows shortcuts may contain a couple of extra information which just have nothing to do with the pure path information. If these shortcuts are treated like symlinks, it becomes impossible to make backups of Windows shortcuts using Cygwin tools like tar. Today, tar treats Windows shortcuts as normal files. If tar just can see the symlink part, the extracted shortcut wouldn't be very similar to what has been archived.

Re: more coreutils problems
On Jan 25 06:46, Eric Blake wrote: It looks like the lstat() call is violating POSIX - it should be checking the path prefix, note that `file' is not a directory, and set errno to ENOTDIR, but instead it is just setting ENOENT. I tested the following three situations on Linux and on Cygwin: lstat(file/x) with file an existing file lstat(dir/x) with dir an existing directory lstat(dir/x) with dir non-existing. On linux, the first case sets errno to ENOTDIR, the other two cases set errno to ENOENT. On Cygwin, errno is the translated Win32 error code from a call to GetFileAttributes. GetFileAttributes results in ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND in the second case, in ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND in the first and third case. So there's no chance to get a 1:1 translation into the correct POSIX errno except for testing all path components if GetFileAttributes returns ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND until GetFileAttributes succeeds. Implementing checking of each parent path component would slow things down incredibly. Also, I noticed there is no setpriority() or getpriority(), but nice() is provided in unistd.h which does the same thing. It looks like winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc always returns 0 in nice() on success, contrary to POSIX (it should be the new nice value, between -NZERO and NZERO-1). Furthermore, there is no definition of NZERO in limits.h, but POSIX requires it to be defined, and at least 20, if nice() is implemented. Ultimately, `nice nice' should print 10, not 0. But since Windows only provides 4 priority levels, cygwin should maintain a separate nice value per process that is mapped into Windows values, something like: -20 to - -11, -10 to -1, 0 to 9, and 10 to 19. That would make 'nice 1 nice' print 1, but not change the process priority; but 'nice nice' would print 10 and lower the priority. On Linux, nice(2) also only returns 0 in case of success and -1 otherwise. If somebody needs to retrieve the nice value, she's pointed to getpriority. I'm going to implement setpriority/getpriority and leave the nice(2) return codes as on Linux.

My next step is to (try to) make the code with debugging options on and to use a convenient debugger (gdb) to see what went wrong.

The readme for building in mingw states: - Download (http://www.mingw.org) and install the following Mingw32 packages: MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe MSYS-1.0.10.exe - Set PATH environment variable using command: set path=c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\mingw\bin;%path% - enter 'make' command in top level directory of the unpacked project I'd like to be able to build the cdrtools under mingw. Is it possible for me to just change all references to gcc to gcc -mno-cygwin and run make (assuming, of course that both the native cygwin and native mingw libraries exist)? 2. Is there a one-to-one correspondence between the mingw runtime libraries (cygwin version) and the cygwin-native libraries? If not, what runtime libraries are in mingw (cygwin version) that are not in the cygwin-native libraries and vice versa? 3. What difference would there be between: a) having the rest of cygwin except the mingw libraries plus the (native) mingw and b) having the rest of cygwin including its mingw libraries minus the (native) mingw Thank you all for your patience.

Re: Moving to the Desktop
Can anybody help with a single keyboard command that would move the user to the Desktop, usable across all systems? Well, the following THREE commands will work on any system, and then you can easily reference the user's desktop: mkdir /desktop foo=`cygpath -D -w` mount -u [-b|-t] $foo /desktop now cd /desktop Just Works(tm). -- Chuck -- 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: Cygwin Time Machine
Actually, I think this is a neat idea. I tried to do something like it for personal use about 18 months ago -- I wanted a one-time snapshot of the cygwin-1.3.x baseline just prior to the 1.5.x transition. But I waited too long (e.g. after packages which required 1.5.x had polluted the server), and couldn't untangle what was old/what was new well enough for my taste. So I gave up. Your mechanism is much better. I, too, hope you don't regret it. :-) -- Chuck P.S. If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately.

RE: Problem uninstalling/deleting cygwin
At 01:34 PM 1/25/2005, Dave Korn wrote: This subject is really off-topic for this list. The cygwin time machine is not a service supported by this list. Larry, you're being too harsh there! The how to uninstall procedure is standard advice and fully backwardly compatible. If we would give the uninstall advice to someone who never upgraded beyone 1.3.x, there's no reason not to give it to someone who has downgraded; we wouldn't tell the first person Oh, uninstalling 1.3.x is not supported, so first update your entire installation to 1.5.12, then follow this procedure., now would we? No, that's true. The uninstall procedure is documented in the FAQ. Anyone that wants it can find it there. But I didn't read Neven's request as a simple inquiry of how to uninstall Cygwin (which the FAQ does cover) but rather how do I fix this now that I installed an old version from the cygwin time mmachine and trying to uninstall it didn't work. I don't know why Neven had a problem but if the prescribed approach given by the FAQ didn't work for him, then it seems reasonable to consult Peter's site with further questions. While I would agree that we cannot say that we don't support uninstalling of old versions, Neven says that he installed some old version over his current, which really isn't a supported option for Cygwin setup. There's the ability to downgrade an existing installation to the version just previous or there's the ability to install the previous version for the first time. But installing a previous version over a current installation isn't a recommended way of using setup even if you're not using the cygwin time machine. And if you are, well then there's a whole set of variations and options available that were not there heretofore. This is the reason I directed Neven back to Peter's site. Clearly, though, if Neven and others that use the cygwin time machine can get what they need from the cygwin.com web pages to help them with any problems they have after using the cygwin time machine, then that's great. But my position is that folks that have a problem after using Peter's site need to consult Peter, at least at first, the same as any other 3rd party site. Obviously, those who disagree with me are still free to answer the inevitable posts that we'll get here about the cygwin time machine anyway. With any luck, those posts will be few and far between so there will be little need to discuss how much noise of this kind is too much. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Maybe the source file is opened (maybe this translation from german is bad, but I saw it before, so you'll recognize it). Does any process have this file opened? Try using Process Explorer from SysInternals.com. Process Explorer doesn't show anything (I looked for the handle cygwin.old, i.e. the top level dir). I killed any process that I could (including explorer) and stopped AntiVir, Apache and mysql. No change. Anyway, those stale links cannot be accessed as files at all. I can only see them using ls or apply chmod/chown on them. Nothing else. If I try cat file, it says No such file or directory. File zombies. Can you see those stale link files in Windows Explorer? If not, you might want to try turning off the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) option. To get to this option, select the Folder Options... on the Tools menu. Then select the View tab and look for the option in the Advanced settings box. Note that Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) hides all files that have both the system and hidden attribute including those that might not be used by the operating system. If you can see the files but can not delete them, you might want to try bypassing the recycle bin by holding down the left shift key while selecting delete. This will try to the delete the file instead of moving it to the recycle bin.

Re: Problem uninstalling/deleting cygwin
At 01:20 PM 1/25/2005, you wrote: after a (stupid) attempt to install an older version of cygwin over my current installation (using the cygwin time machine mentioned some days ago) I just wanted to throw it away and start anew, but the cygwin directory is undeletable. This is due to some symbolic links from versions of uninstalled programs pointing to nowhere (i.e. /usr/autotool/devel/bin/automake, which is a symlink to automake-1.9). I am able to change owner and permissions of these files to whatever I want, but I can not delete them (Permission denied). What should I do, to get a clean new install? This subject is really off-topic for this list. The cygwin time machine is not a service supported by this list. As mentioned at http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwincirca, you want to consult doctor at fruitbat dot org. Well, I thought my question had something to do with permissions/ownerships or perhaps stale symbolic links. I doubt, that installing older versions on an existing cygwin installation is the only way to run into such a problem. You may be right. The point is that what you installed came from a completely different source than cygwin.com. Peter has kindly made this service available to those that want to use it but that also means that his site is the first source of support when problems arise from using it. That being said, you are of course welcome to use the information at the Cygwin site to help solve your problems. There's certainly at least one entry in the FAQ dedicated to the removal of Cygwin. To me, it sounds like you still have a Cygwin service or something running on your machine but that's just a WAG. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
