setup.exe timestamp 1108087248: mined-2000.10-1: minor glitch

[fergus]

There is an intrusive blank line in the entry for mined-2000.10-1 in
setup.ini timestamp 1108087248, preventing its download and installation.

cp (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0 shows the correct error
message (permission denied) instead of looking for the
exe.

Re: Fw: bug in texi2dvi, and hack patch

[Karl Berry]

Back on this thread about texi2dvi and cygwin from a couple weeks ago.

2) On cygwin, if both $dir/tex.exe exists and a directory $dir/tex/ exist,
this function misses the existence of tex.exe.

I don't see why the presence of $dir/tex would affect things.
tex.exe would never be found on cygwin with the present code, as I
understand it.

So I added an explicit check for foo.exe, for Cygwin's sake.  test -x
will work, right?  (If a Unix system has an executable foo.exe in PATH
first, they deserve what they get, IMO.)

I do not want to autoconfiscate texi2dvi, nor do I think it's necessary.

If you feel like testing, you can get the current version from texinfo
cvs at savannah.gnu.org, namely:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/texinfo/texinfo/util/texi2dvi?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain

Thanks,
karl

Hmmm, s.th. wrong with the permissons? Is your /etc/group file empty,

I was using large fortran arrays with no trouble a year ago using the 
-Wl,--stack option to enlarge the stack, but it is no longer working for 
me.  Same machine, but with cygwin upgrades and with SP2 for the XP 
pro.  Something has changed.
I have these problems on Windows 2000. I suspect it is Cygwin and/or gcc 
that has changed.

Switching to g95 is a poor option.  Both g95 and gfortran are currently 
beta software, and it is gfortran that is destined to replace g77 in the 
next version of gcc.
Right now, poor options are the only ones available.
There is now a Mingw version of gfortran. Does that help?

RE: scponly for chrooted sftp server in cygwin

[Chad Neufeld]

Thank you for the help Christian,

I was able to make and install scponly.

I still get the following error during the make phase.

gcc -g -O2 -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DDEBUGFILE='"/usr/local/etc/scponly/debuglev
el"' -o helper.o -c helper.c
helper.c:174: warning: passing arg 1 of `strdup' makes pointer from
integer with
out a cast
helper.c:179: warning: passing arg 1 of `strcmp' makes pointer from
integer with
out a cast

During the install phase the script attempted to set some file permisissions
as follows:
${INSTALL} -o 0 -g 0 scponly ${bindir}/scponly
${INSTALL} -o 0 -g 0 -m 0644 scponly.8 ${mandir}/man8/scponly.8
${INSTALL} -o 0 -g 0 -m 0644 debuglevel ${DEBUGFILE}

but was returing an error message:
install: cannot change ownership of '/usr/local/bin/scponly'

I changed the make file to:
${INSTALL} -o SYSTEM -g SYSTEM scponly ${bindir}/scponly
${INSTALL} -o SYSTEM -g SYSTEM -m 0644 scponly.8
${mandir}/man8/scponly.8
${INSTALL} -o SYSTEM -g SYSTEM -m 0644 debuglevel ${DEBUGFILE}
And it worked fine.

I tried using the setup_chroot.sh script but could not get it to work.  You
mentioned an alternative make tool for setting up chrooted users.  Or
instructions on how to manually set it up.  

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Chad

Um, you aren't going to have a lot of success building libwin32 from
CPAN afaik.  Your options are really

1) use the cygwin perl-libwin32 package, with a
"use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2';" at the beginning of your
code or via the PERL5LIB var (see perldoc perlrun)

2) get the source for the perl-libwin32 and the other packages necessary
and try to build it (there will be a few failures)

3) wait for an updated perl-libwin32 release (should be soon)

Just a side effect of libwin32 being assembled from several independent
parts.  Win32API::Registry is in fact included with libwin32.

Use the "look Win32" command in the cpan shell.  I've had that
sometimes not work; if it doesn't, just start another shell and cd to
the directory cpan is doing the build in (probably
~/.cpan/build/libwin32-0.191).

Re: perl & Win32 lib support

[linda w]

Am having problems with trying fixes for the below errors --
once I encounter an error in making Win32, I can correct the source
files in another window, but I then it won't let me run "make" on
Win32 again w/o force because it already encountered an error.
If I do a make force, it re-unpacks the source files over my changes.
If I try to do the make by hand, I must not have my INC path setup,
as I get a missing "Config.pm" when trying to "make" outside of
cpan.

As promised, I've update the time machine doc with bigger, bolder,
brighter (now with Chemical-C!) words of warning.  Hopefully this will
help stave off newbie questions from hitting the list.

It's been a few weeks, and nothing bad has happened.  I see several
people have made use of the time machine and it hasn't been much of a
strain on my servers at all, so I will continue to maintain the time
machine as a service to the community.

I guess I would like to make this official as "cygwin news", but I'm not
quite sure what to say.  I'll ponder that and submit something later.

I have looked into this and I am now archiving snapshots, as of 01/25/2005.
All snapshot archives will be kept here:
  ftp://www.fruitbat.org/ftp/pub/cygwin/snapshots/

This took a little more effort than I was expecting, because the
robots.txt file prevents me from just grabbing them via wget (if there's
a way to make wget ignore robots.txt, I'd love to know it!), so I ended
up having to extract href's from index.html and pull everything that way.
As long as the link format in index.html doesn't change too much, this
will continue to work fairly well.

I plan to make them available through the time machine, but for now, they
are available via ftp.  If people have kept earlier snapshots and would
be willing to send them to me (or provide a link for me to pull them), I
will add them to the collection.

Thanks!

Cygwin memory profiling tools?

[svoboda]

I have the task of porting a big C++ application to Windows XP. It
currently runs on Linux and AIX, and builds using g++ 3.2 &
makefiles. Fortunately, the big application contains a lot of small
test code, so I have been able to do small incremental builds and test
them in Windows before moving on to bigger pieces. I am thus using
Cygwin/G++ for the porting.

Unfortunately I have hit a snag that seems to bar any workarounds. It
seems that most any time I load a DLL that uses new/delete, I get a
crash, usually 'signal 11'.  The crash goes away if I don't load the
DLL, but that's not possible for the big application.

This same code that crashes under Cygwin runs under Linux, and
generates 0 errors under valgrind on Linux.

My question is, what debugging tools are there on cygwin or Windows
that would help here? Valgrind seems to not be available, and gdb only
tells me that the coredump occurred during a destructor (or after the
program ended.) How do I find out what code is screwing up memory
allocation?

Re: Running custom cygwin apps from Matlab for windows

[Phillips, James R]

OK, matlab for windows has several for executing windows commands, the
simplest to discuss is
 
system(string)
  
This will pass the contents of the string to windows as a command to
execute.
 
The string could look like
 
'C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c custom-command'
 
which will log into a cygwin bash shell to excecute custom-command and then
exit.
 
So its perfectly possible.  
 
Experiment a little; you will find that it does in fact work.

Running custom cygwin apps from Matlab for windows

[David Wagner]

Hi,
 I'm new to cygwin. My lab does medical image analysis, and while our 
statistical analysis can be done in Matlab on the PC, our image 
preprocessing is done in Unix (using command line tools). Using cygwin I've 
managed to get our unix apps to work on a PC.

 However I would like to automate the process from within matlab. 
Ideally Matlab would send command lines to cygwin which would perform the 
operation and automatically exit when finished. I've found no clues in the 
documentation as to whether it's possible to send commands to cygwin from 
native windows applications. Anyone have any ideas or links?

 An alternative route would be to run matlab under cygwin and do 
everything in cygwin. Is this possible with say, the linux version of 
matlab?

  Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

These are the version numbers for the setup program.  They tell us nothing

their versions.

It's a shame that we can't just install a google link for our searches

Options:
XPM,transparent,utmp,menubar,multichar_languages,scrollbars=rxvt+NeXT+xt
erm,frills,linespace,256colour,.Xdefaults

Definitely changes the cursor color and scrollbar location on my terms.
Not sure about selectstyle, i use the default and am happy with
it(although i seem to recall running across a definition while googling
re this yesterday).

I also did a quick change to background and foreground colors -- they
were picked up too.

Are you explicitely setting values in the call to open a new term that
are overriding those in .Xdefaults?
My normal means of opening rxvt terminals is via shortcuts that equate
to some variant of:

  rxvt.exe  -sr -sl 2500  -geometry 80x25 -sb -fg green -bg midnightblue
-fn "lucida console-13-bold" -e bash --rcfile /home/rthompso/.bashrc

The explicitely given parameters will override those in .Xdefaults.
(Using different color schemes for different hosts makes it easy for me
to determine with a 'look' what host the current terminal is connected
to.)

Just uncomment the #included "libgen.h". Declarations from this file are
included in one of the cygwin default includes.

The only "hack" I had to do was to explicitly add one or two libraries in the
call to the linker.
Currently IÂve no access to my machine. IÂll check this later and post more
details if I can find the old makefile.

rsh command gives: "rlogin: read: Operation not permitted"

I installed cygwin on a Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 PC on my work.
 
Installation is OK, but when a try to do a
rsh hostname 
I always get:
rlogin: read: Operation not permitted
 
I get this when I try to connect to one of the AIX machines, but also when I 
try to connect to my laptop.
When I do a telnet it works ok and I get for example:
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) (g1gpv0j) (tty0)
login:
 
When I try the same from my laptop it works OK.
 
I tried:
- installing version 2.457.2.1
- isntalling version 2.416
-copying the working installed version from my laptop
but always the same problem.
 
Anyone any idea ??

I keep seeing people post this, but they don't seem to realise that the
list is archived in many places and the htdig search on cygwin.com was
never very good anyway.  You can search the list at:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cygwin
http://www.mail-archive.com/index.php?hunt=cygwin
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin

...or by using a google search for "site:cygwin.com inurl:ml foo" where
foo is your search query.  You can even search by year by adding
"inurl:2004" to search only 2004.

Man pages should go to /usr/share/man in cygwin land.

Installer: setup auto install of chosen packages?

[Jesper Vad Kristensen]

Hi,

There's a couple of developers here who must use cygwin, but they tend
to always forget to install this or that package (even if instructions
are clear), and this creates a support problem for me.

So the question is if I can somehow automate the installation process so
it pre-selects all the required packages (e.g. latest perl, cvs, man
pages, zip, unzip, etc.)?

Regards,
