The first line above of PS1 is an escape sequence that tells the
terminal to change the window title to the given string.  Emacs
apparently does not support that escape sequence, so you'll have to
modify your prompt.  The Cygwin default is

PS1='\[\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]\n$ '

The part that sets the window title is "\033]0;\w\007", so you would
want

PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]\n$ '

Note that '\[' and '\]' are pseudo-escape sequences that tell bash that
the enclosed characters represent an escape sequence that the terminal
will interpret and not print.  They are used so that bash will know to
not include those characters in calculating the cursor position.

If you want to change the colors, the number N in "\033[Nm" is what to
modify.  See google or
 for more details.

Re: recv and errno during a connection reset/closed by peer

[Joris van der Sande]

Peter,
This works for me:
   /* Detect dead connections */
   int   keepalive = 1 ;
   r = setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE,
  (char *)&keepalive,
  sizeof(keepalive)) ;
recv() will now return ECONNABORTED when the host 
disconnects.

Best regards,
Joris

Cygwin Dlls

[Ravi Prasad]

Hi group,
   I am using cygwin for tinyos. I installed
Tinyos1.1.0 in directory C:\tinyos\ and later upgraded
to 1.1.7. I have installed arm-gcc from 
http://www.gnuarm.com/bu-2.15_gcc-3.4.3-c-c++-java_nl-1.12.0_gi-6.1.exe

to the directory C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM

Now the problem starts:
1. When I tried to compile a C program by arm-elf-gcc
it gave error
"The procedure entry point__argz_count could not be
located in the dynamic linked library cygwin1.dll"

2. I replaced C:\tinyos\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll by
C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin\cygwin1.dll and
also deleted
C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin\cygwin1.dll . Now
the program compiled if I compiled it from the
directory C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin. From
other directory it gave error
"The procedure entry point
libconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be located in
the dynamic linked library cygiconv-2.dll".

**At this point the uisp command to uplaod a program
started hanging indefinetly.

3. Finally I moved all dll in
C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin\ to
C:\tinyos\cygwin\bin\. Now I can compile from any
place but uisp still hangs.


Can any one please suggest the exact way of using dlls
so that I can use the arm-gcc as like avr-gcc in
tinyos

Regds,
Ravi

Try passing a buffer and length to recv().  The Cygwin code does not
attempt to do anything with the socket if buf = NULL and len = 0.  (You
can look at it yourself, file winsup/cygwin/net.cc, functions
cygwin_recv() and cygwin_recvfrom().)  How would you ever expect recv()
to return >0 when you don't give it a buffer to put the data into?  The
POSIX standard doesn't say anything about the behavior of recv() when
buf=NULL so what you're trying to do must be some nonstandard quirk of
other systems' libc.

Thanks Michael. I am using the CVS-version (dated early febraury) of Emacs. 
I removed the lines I added to my .bashrc and added what you showed to my 
.emacs. Now my bash shell inside emacs looks nice (and in color), but it's 
not perfect. Here it is:

]0;c:/cygwin/home/mikael/coding/Win32/show_styles/src
[EMAIL PROTECTED] c:/cygwin/home/mikael/coding/Win32/show_styles/src
$

The first line doesn't look so good and it's basically repeating what's in 
the second line (the path).

How do I make it perfect?

recv and errno during a connection reset/closed by peer

[Peter Stephens]

I am writing a program to handle messages on a TCP/CONNECTION based setup.
I have verified that I can receive the messages I want, both blocking and
non-blocking.  I want to be in non-blocking mode.

When in blocking mode I can detect a loss of the connection simply by
waiting for a return of '0' from recv.  Easy enough.

When in non-blocking mode I thought I would be able to get a return from
recv of '-1' and then check errno, but it never seems to be anything but
'11', or EAGAIN.  This seems to be true whether I MSG_PEEK or not.

I have included my code below.  The intention is that for recv returns
greater than zero, there is a message and I should process it and get ready
for the next one.  For recv returns of '0' I should do nothing and for recv
returns of '-1' I should handle per errno.

Seems easy enough, but no matter what I have tried I can only get a recv
return of EAGAIN.

Any help would be appreciated..

Did you miss the initial post from Peter Castro?



Browsing his mirror, I found Postgres versions back to 7.1.x.  Please 
be sure to read his full announcement and/or the text at the site so 
you understand what you're using and it's limits/benefits.

Neither are available from Cygwin mirrors via 'setup.exe'.  There has 
been some discussion in the past about building Mozilla with Cygwin.
You can Google for info on that.  I don't recall any discussions of 
Netscape, though that may be out there somewhere too (but it seems kind
of moot if you get your hands on Mozilla).

Re: Postgres 7.2

[Zeb]

Larry -- You've partially diagnosed my problem for me.

Here's what's going on (in detail):

I've taken over admin on development (DEV) and production (PROD) boxes for 
a small website.  DEV is W2K and PROD is Linux.  The app running on the 
servers in Java-based, and it connects to a Postgres DB.

The PROD box (which is running fine) is running Postgres 7.2.

The DEV box WAS running fine, until I started up pg_ctl without first 
"ipc-daemon", resulting in 100% CPU utilization.  Thinking that there was 
something wrong with the installation (vim was broken, and I was getting 
some other strange behavior every time I typed a new command in the Cygwin 
command line) I decided to execute the setup.exe file, trying to be very 
careful not to over-write the Postgres 7.2 installation I had on DEV.

After having to go through the install process three or four times, the 
last time I accidentally over-wrote the 7.2 install I had on DEV with 
version 7.4.5-1.

But, since PROD is working fine (v. 7.2), I want to get DEV running again 
with the same (7.2) version.  Once that's done and I understand the setup 
in the DEV and PROD environments, I'll upgrade to more up to date 
version.s

I hope that better explains why I'm looking for version 7.2.  Any pointers 
on where to obtain it would be helpful.  I looked for the "Cygwin Time 
Machine", and while I found references, I can't find any working sites 
which have old tar.bz2 setup files for Cygwin.


Rgs,

Zeb

We have a link for such applications: .

What details are that?  Does it work or not?  If it does and you don't
want to upgrade, just make sure you don't inadvertently upgrade the next
time you run 'setup.exe'.  If it doesn't work for you, there seems to be

You might be able to find a stale mirror somewhere.  Or you can search

Right.  It will.  It's also worth noting that hard links break again as 
soon as you update either clamwin or Cygwin, even on NTFS volumes.   
Alternatively, if you make sure that clamwin can see your Cygwin 
installation, it will seamlessly work through Cygwin updates.  But the
only way you're going to get clamwin to work seamlessly through updates 
of clamwin is to get clamwin's installation to change.

Postgres 7.2

[Zeb Agha]

I've taken over as admin on a box which is running Postgres 7.2 under 
Cygwin.  I seem to have a problem with the installation.

I don't want to upgrade to the latest version of Postgres (7.4.5) until I 
can get the details of the current (7.2) installation sorted out.

Can anyone tell me how I can go about obtaining the old, 7.2 version of 
Postgres?  I don't see it in the Cygwin setup.


Thanks,

A symlink won't work, because it's Windows own loader that searches for
and loads any .DLLs called for by an .exe.  Windows does not understand
symlinks as they are a Cygwin thing, so you can't symlink a DLL and
expect it to load.

NTFS does not support symbolic links but it does support hard links, see
.
 
If the volume is NTFS, 'ln' will use this capability.  On 9x or FAT it
will make a copy (I think.)

You shouldn't need to do either though, as long as your original
cygwin1.dll from the Cygwin installation is in the path.  Windows will
search for DLLs in: the directory of the .exe, the system directory, the
wondows directory, the current directory, and directories in the PATH,
in that order.  See

for details.  So all you need to do is put \cygwin\bin in your path.

Care is taken by the maintainers to make sure the Cygwin DLL is
backwards-compatible, so the current cygwin1.dll should always be able
to replace any weird older Cygwin DLL that some installer uses (but not
the Bxx series.)  However the reverse is not true, you cannot use a
binary that was compiled against a recent cygwin1.dll with an older copy
of the DLL.  So in other words, all you have to do is ensure that you
only have one cygwin1.dll on your system and in the path, and that it's
the current version.  Remove any other copies.

It's a bad idea.  Just delete the spurious DLL.  No special action is
required if the cygwin dll is in the PATH.

I had a user install clamwin and as discussed on the list here:

Searching through the user guide and faq doesn't yield
a suggestion for solutions or workarounds and searching
the list archives yields so much material that it is
hard to focus in on what specifically to do.  Obviously,
I can have the person uninstall clamwin.  Is there anything
else that makes sense (and, no, uninstalling cygwin doesn't
make sense)?  
   


The "standard" solution in these cases is to remove the cygwin1.dll 
from the offending 3rd party package after installing and make sure 
that the 3rd party package can find the already existing cygwin1.dll
in the Cygwin installation (C:\cygwin\bin by default).  The easiest 
way to do this is to put the Cygwin installation path/bin in your
Windows path.  As Chris points out, this could all be automated with 
some minor effort on the part of the 3rd party providers but in the
absence of such support, you have to do it manually. :-(  A better 
question might be to ask the clamwin folks why they can't augment
their installer to accommodate an existing Cygwin installation.  If
their package breaks a Cygwin installation, it's really not a Cygwin
problem per-se.
 

This is helpful, thank you.  Being curious and trying to be minimal

"ln -s /bin/cygwin1.dll" in the clamwin/bin directory and wasn't 
surprised that it
didn't work.  Being Unix person by background, I then tried "ln 
/bin/cygwin1.dll"
and that surprised me by working.  I expected to see an NTFS cygwin1.dll.lnk
file in there but using "cmd.exe" and "dir" or the windows explorer 
looks like a
full copy of the dll file.  An "ls -l" tantalizingly shows a link count 
of 2.  "info ln"
doesn't give any cygwin-specific info.  The section of the user guide 
located here:
 http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-effectively.html#id2950938
has some wording that implies this might work but isin't definitive. 

My question now is, can "ln" be used to work around this issue or is 
that a "bad idea"?

If you are using Emacs >=21.1; try the following elisp
   (add-hook 'comint-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

You should see the colors properly in emacs.  (Essentially Emacs interprets the 
escape sequences and emulates them with the appropriate emacs features.)

Are you sure you are using `bash' as your shell?  The ability to use "visible" 
escape sequences for colors et al. rather than the actual control characters in 
the prompt variables is a `bash' feature.  I see what you are seeing when I use 
`sh' or `ksh' and have the `bash'-style prompt settings.

The reason I think this is that `bash' would not write out the \[ and \] 
sequences as part of the prompt.  These are fenceposts used to identify 
portions of the prompt string that take up no physical space on the output 
line.  This permits `bash' to calculate how long the prompt string actually is 
so that wrapping and editting look correct.

RE: fork error in Windows 2003 running as normal user

Hi Corinna and Igor

Hum. I'll have to confess now. Today it works (i.e. even without
notraverse)... I guess a reboot was necessary after changing the permissions
(don't understand why). So I guess (but am not sure) Igor's suggestion was
the right one after all.

So, thanks a million. I'm happy now!

I do the terminal checking the other way, because many terminals can
not display colors. Like this:

if [ "$TERM" = xterm -o\
"$TERM" = cygwin ] ; then
   (set PS with colors)
else
   (set PS with NO colors)
fi

I installed the nightly tarball version in Cygwin and on my Fedora 3
box. The incremental backups work great now. Also, FWIW, data transfer
"feels" a bit faster.

(I sent this privately to Wayne a couple of days ago. My normal email
server has been acting flakey; hopefully this will actually work now...)

Assuming one has not installed any non-standard DLLs in /bin, then the
above just rebases the DLLs that are rebased by the recommended method:

$ rebaseall

with the following differences:

1. some DLLs are rebased twice
2. cygwin1.dll is rebased, but the attempt fails
3. /bin executables are rebased, but this (AFAICT) should not help

Unless you had non-standard DLLs in /bin, I cannot explain why this way
of rebasing fixed your sshd problem.

Anyway, I'm glad you got sshd working again.

I really really hope that someone makes it work some day (I wish I had the 
knowledge to contribute), because it's on my top-three list of outstanding 
issues I have with Cygwin (admittedly indirectly in this case because I use 
a native Emacs version). My other issues mostly revolve around being unable 
to build certain program ootb on cygwin.

Try launching rxvt like this:

C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i

Personally, I use .Xdefaults, placed in my home directory, to
configure RXVT. Refer to this:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/demos/ossc/man-html/man1/rxvt.1.html

Also, try 'man rxvt'.

Here's my .Xdefaults as an example:

rxvt*font: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-15"
rxvt*geometry: 124x47+0+0
rxvt*background: black
rxvt*foreground: white
rxvt*scrollBar_right: true
rxvt*saveLines: 5000
rxvt*scrollstyle: next
rxvt*termName: rxvt
rxvt*scrollTtyOutput: false
rxvt*scrollWithBuffer: false

The "standard" solution in these cases is to remove the cygwin1.dll 
from the offending 3rd party package after installing and make sure 
that the 3rd party package can find the already existing cygwin1.dll
in the Cygwin installation (C:\cygwin\bin by default).  The easiest 
way to do this is to put the Cygwin installation path/bin in your
Windows path.  As Chris points out, this could all be automated with 
some minor effort on the part of the 3rd party providers but in the
absence of such support, you have to do it manually. :-(  A better 
question might be to ask the clamwin folks why they can't augment
their installer to accommodate an existing Cygwin installation.  If
their package breaks a Cygwin installation, it's really not a Cygwin
problem per-se.

rxvt problem: Prompt doesn't look very nice

[Mikael]

Hello, I just tried rxvt because I wanted to replace the hopeless cmd 
window. However, the "prompt" (not sure that is the correct word) doesn't 
look very nice, here it is copied and pasted:
\[\033]0;\w\007
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$
It looks similar, if not the same, as the result when I tried to set bash as 
the default shell for a native Windows Emacs cvs version. I guess the 
\[\033]0;\w\007
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] should display the cwd if it was 
working correctly, yes?

I was wondering how I can solve this problem with rxvt. And, when I solve it 
I will be interested in tips on how to make rxvt look better or other tips 
so feel free to mention such things too.

Sorry.  I will steadfastedly refuse to document as a "FAQ" problems with
broken software that installs their own version of the cygwin dll.  This
is nothing more than the standard multiple version of cygwin problem
aggravated by software providers who are too lazy to figure out how to
install their product without messing up a cygwin installation.

Regardless of that, however, I don't believe that this qualifies as a
"FAQ" since it hasn't been a frequently asked question.

"is rsync available?" is a question that is easily answered by just trying
it, e.g.:

  rsync cygwin.com::

If it works, then yes, rsync is available.  If it doesn't work, then, no
it isn't.

In this case, yes, it is available.

Look again.  There are instructions on that page which specifically say
where to "send requests to be added to this list."

Note that the mirror has to be publicly available for it to be added
to this list.  We don't add private mirrors to the list for hopefully
obvious reasons.

clamwin installs incompatible copy of cygwin1.dll

I had a user install clamwin and as discussed on the list here:

it blithely installs cygwin1.dll regardless of any installation

Searching through the user guide and faq doesn't yield
a suggestion for solutions or workarounds and searching
the list archives yields so much material that it is
hard to focus in on what specifically to do.  Obviously,
I can have the person uninstall clamwin.  Is there anything

Re: does rxvt support cut and paste?

[Andrew DeFaria]

Dave Korn wrote:
Normally Shift-Insert will (Standard Windows conventions...)
No, that's not "standard windows conventions"! The 'doze conventions 
are Ctrl+X/C/V for cut/copy/paste.

Shift+Ins/Del is the *MS-DOS* convention, as seen in such classic and 
historical programs as 'ed'.
I refer you to 
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/keyboard/keyboardresults.asp?Product=2 
which clearly shows SHIFT+INSERT (search for that) as a standard way to 
paste (as well as CTRL+V). That MS-DOS may have also supported that is 
irrelevant really.

Interestingly though MS lists keyboard short cuts for the various 
flavors of Windows - 98, 2000, XP, 2003. Some list SHIFT+INSERT as paste 
right along side of CTRL+V (98, 2000), some don't list it at all (XP) 
and 2003 lists them separately. In practice however CTRL+V == 
SHIFT-INSERT. YMMV.

And, most importantly to the OP, SHIFT-INSERT works with rxvt.

Please test the next Cygwin snapshot again.
The latest snapshot is working well for me. Thanks!

  No, that's not "standard windows conventions"!  The 'doze conventions are
Ctrl+X/C/V for cut/copy/paste.

  Shift+Ins/Del is the *MS-DOS* convention, as seen in such classic and
historical programs as 'ed'.

  sourceware.org == cygwin.com == sources.redhat.com == gcc.gnu.org; these
names are all DNS aliases for each other.  However, it is *not* 'more
proper' to use sourceware.org to refer to the cygwin site.  You should use
the name for the site you actually want to see.

  Compare http://cygwin.com/ and http://sourceware.org/ and you'll see that
they're very different.  Although the names all resolve to the same IP
address, the webserver on that machine looks at the name in the URL[*] to
decide which front page to display.  Various other pages are served from
different sources according to what FQDN you use for the machine - e.g. if
you go to http://cygwin.com/lists.html you get a different page from
http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html.  If you go to http://cygwin.com/ml, you get
the same list of mailing lists as at http://sourceware.org/ml, but if you go
to http://gcc.gnu.org/ml, you get redirected to
http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: rxvt-2.7.10-5

[Steve O]

I've updated the rxvt package to install the documentation under 
/usr/share.  No code has been changed, though hopefully the man page is 
now readable.

rxvt is in the 'Shells' section of the installer.  It works with or 
without X Windows running and is a comfy replacement for the cmd window.

===

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Dunno if our Doxygen maintainer is still listening, but I've Cc'd the
cygwin-apps list.

Ryunosuke, are you still somewhere around?  Are you still interested in
maintaining doxygen?

Hans, further discussion should take place on cygwin-apps.

doxygen status

[Hans Horn]

Group,

I noticed that the vintage of doxygen that ships with cygwin (v1.2.18) is 
more than two years old.
The current version of doxygen (1.4.1-20050315) builds ootb and appears to 
be functioning properly; I ran it on a mid-size C++ source tree and on a 
rather large Java source tree. When doing the latter, I noticed that the 
current vintage is almost infinitely faster than the one that is shipping 
with cygwin.

The question is, is there a maintainer for doxygen, and if so, is she still 
alive and willing.
If not, I'd like to step up to the plate and offer my services as new 
doxygen maintainer.

greets,
H.

Why did you do that?  ssh-host-config does that for you.  You might want to

I'm not sure how you got from the above to this but if this is a problem 
that's keeping the ssh server from running for you, you need to look at 
what other services you have running.  Also, its not clear based on the
information you've given whether or not you've even started the ssh server.
Also, did you run ssh-user-config?  

If you're still having problems getting the Cygwin ssh server working for 
you, please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines at 
.  FWIW, I run this server on both 
W2K and XP machines without any difficulty.  So whatever the problem is that
you're seeing, it's local.

The digest messages usually contain the Message-ID: header, and most
mailers would thread the replies properly...  Occasionally the Message-ID:
header is not recognized (don't know why), and thus doesn't get into the
digest.

They do.  Look at the "Raw text" link in the web archives -- that gives
you the complete mbox-formatted text of the message, headers and all.
Just save it where your mailer can get to it (as long as your mailer
understands the mbox format, like mine does), and it should work.  You
will need to do a bit of pre-processing on the text, as the headers are
somewhat obfuscated (to deter spammers).  Here's the script I use:

sed -e '1,/^$/{/^Subject:/I!{s/\r$//
s/ dot /./g
s/ at /@/g
s/^Path.*!not-for-mail$/From [EMAIL PROTECTED] '"`date -u +"%a %b %d %T 
%Y"`"'/}}'

That last one is there because I also occasionally use Gmane's "raw
article" mode to get at the text of the article (for those cases when the
web archives cannot find the raw text).

I reply to most messages through the archives, and threading is correctly
preserved in all cases where the Message-ID: is present.

> (Should make it independent of any rogue e-mail clients as well.)

No, since it's the e-mail client that adds the References: or In-Reply-To:
headers.  If your client doesn't do this, there will be no threading...

> (Btw  is apparently a different -- may
> be more proper(?) -- name to refer to the location of the Cygwin archive

The usual way I use is  -- that's the
shortest non-obfuscated link I'm aware of.

What's strange, though, is that when he ssh's in, things work.  AFAICS,

I could reproduce it and apparently the secret event handling isn't quite
as safe under load as expected.  I reworked the whole secret handhake so
that a AF_LOCAL/SOCK_STREAM session now always starts with a handshake on
the socket itself, which exchanges the connect secret and the credentials
and closes the connection if anything happens.  I've tested this solution
under heavy load and it only breaks for me now, if the number of sockets
in the TIME_WAIT state disallows any further connection to the running
ssh-agent.  In this case you'll get a message:

  Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

This is not a Cygwin problem or only in so far as Cygwin uses AF_INET
sockets to implement AF_LOCAL sockets.  On my XP Pro system there's an
upper bound of about 2000 connections in TIME_WAIT, when the above
message shows up for the first time.

Please test the next Cygwin snapshot again.

Lpr problem with Cygwin 1.5.13 (Works fine with 1.5.12)

[Weiqi Gao]

I'm having problems with lpr since I updated to the 1.5.13 version of
cygwin.  When I roll back the cygwin package (cygwin package only) to
1.5.12, lpr worked again.

I'm using lpr to print to a Samba printer.  I have exported the
PRINTER environment variable that points to the UNC name of the
printer "//MAPLE/CLP510N".

The Error message I get when I try to print with "lpr foo.ps" is:

  lpr: printer error: can't open '' for writing: The printer name is invalid

The same as described in

  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00361.html

Reading the thread started with the above message, I know that it has
been identified as a cygwin bug.  What I don't know is when will it be
fixed.  Will the fix be in the upcoming 1.5.14?

If yes, thank you very much.  If not, is there a workaround aside from
rolling back to 1.5.12?

I should have had a closer look at (a euphemism for "actually read") the 
log file.  The log file didn't exist prior to running fetchmail in 
daemon mode, as evidenced by the first line:

   fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon

All subsequent invocations of fetchmail (fetchmail -v) generated log 
entries only.  Manually removing the log file allows the -v option to 
function normally and generate screen output.  Executing 'touch 
/var/log/fetchmail.log' recreates the no-screen-output behaviour and 
status messages are again redirected to the log file.

I haven't looked closely enough (another euphemism, but this one for 
"I'm too lazy at the moment") at fetchmail's various logging options (I 
have none set in ~/.fetchmailrc), so I'll leave the issue as to whether 
this is a fetchmail problem to you.

Cheers.

sshd doesn't work after rebaseall: cygheap_fixup_in_child error

[Pietro Toniolo]

I experience the same problem that Jet Wilda had last dec, 6. He did not
get any answer, then... hope to be luckier.
After a rebaseall, as suggested in the kde-cygwin instructions at
sf.net, my sshd daemon is not running anymore.
My steps were:
1) stop the cygwin-related services (init & sshd)
2) issued s "rebaseall -v" from a bash shell
3) tried to restart sshd
4) the service remains in pending state: starting
If I try to run sshd manually I get errors like this:
209 [main] ? 1380 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve
9891544 bytes of C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe (1380): ***
m.AllocationBase 0x0, m.BaseAddress 0x6180,
m.RegionSize 0x36, m.State 0x1
I reinstalled the OpenSSH package from the cygwin setup, but nothing
changed. Looks like some other library has been broken by the rebaseall
command.
Notice that I've already used kde many times, it always run w/o
problems... I just tried to speedup the startup with the rebaseall
suggestion... &%$£
My installation of cygwin is complete, I always install all the
available packages. My system is W2K, with all service packs. If
required, I can attach a cygcheck.
Any idea?
Thanks
Pietro

What are all the flags doing?  Have you tried without using them?
Since the flags are C++ it is possible that the C compiler fails?
Iff so, it is an autoconf problem.  Which version of the autotools are
used?

Hello Gerrit:
Thanks for inquiring and offering the suggestion. It appears we have 
made some headway beyond this being the configure process now. In fact 
at this point I'm not sure the problem is likely very related to cygwin 
as much as it is QT. Here is why I think that (does anyone think I may 
find some help from cygwin-xfree?):
[...snip...]

[...snip...]
Something wrong with QT?  What was the command issued before this error?
Usually it is important to put the import libs in the right order.

Thanks Brian, for the clarification. Does this imply that if one is e.g. on
the 
digest version of the mailinglist (as I am, and would like to stay that way), 
that this confusion will be inevitable when one replies to a message or is
there 
a work around? (Actually I'm in fact responding to your reply from the
archive 
since the digest version with your reply has not yet arrived.) 
Would it not be convenient if the archive and mailinglist present a line 
one could copy and paste as the first line of a reply so that threading info 
would be correctly preserved? (Should make it independent of any rogue 
e-mail clients as well.)

(Btw  is apparently a different -- may be 
more proper(?) -- name to refer to the location of the Cygwin archive
(currently 
at IP 12.107.209.250).)

[mikek] Brian, thanks for this. Executing ssh-host-config -y followed by
cygrunsrv -S sshd worked perfectly. The only difference I detected to
what
I had been doing was that it now queried me about ntsec.

Anyway working now, thanks.

You should read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README for details on
sshd.  You will find the following passage:

If you start sshd as deamon via cygrunsrv.exe you MUST give the
"-D" option to sshd. Otherwise the service can't get started at all.

You should let ssh-host-config install the service.  Your install
command above is wrong, you need "-a -D" to pass -D to sshd. 
ssh-host-config ought to take care of everything for you if you let it.

I think you caught the ML archives page at a point at which it was
re-indexing.  Both URLs above display both messages with the correct
threading for me.

The reply email did not contain a "References:" or "In-reply-to:"
header, so the archives did not know it was a reply.  Proper email
readers and archive software depend on one or both of those headers to
preserve threads.  Some brain dead email programs (cough Outlook cough)
instead just go by subject, and are too ignorant to add the headers that
preserve the threading.  That means that messages created in those
programs break threading in the archives, and those programs cannot cope
with threads where the subject is changed mid-thread.
