I've updated "What Cygwin mailing lists can I join?" with a 
better description. Old language was "If you are going to help
develop the Cygwin library by volunteering for the project, you 
will want to subscribe to the Cygwin developers list,
called cygwin-developers."

New language is "There is also a low-volume list called
cygwin-developers which is reserved for knowledgeable people who
regularly contribute to the Cygwin DLL. Please do not ask for
read-only access to this mailing list."

OK, I added some about managed mounts. I've never really
used them myself, but this is the example I came up with for 
the FAQ that seems to work fine:

mkdir /managed-dir
mount -o managed c:/cygwin/managed-dir /managed-dir
cd /managed-dir/
touch makefile
touch Makefile

Are managed mounts prime-time enough to be put in the
--help statement and users guide with caveats?

Why does cygwin perl not build openssl win32 nmake files correctly ?

[Gianni Mariani]

It appears a long long time ago that cygwin perl was capable of building 
openssl, however it appears that now the openssl make files generated by 
cygwin are filled with errors.


This seems to be a long-running issue.  Ideas ?

If the problem is really what it appears to be, it's rather incredible.
It seems like the IsBadWritePtr function in thread.cc is tripping 
lynx's SIGSEGV handler.  I didn't think that was possible.  It sort
of defeats the whole purpose of IsBadWritePtr.  I have to think about
this one...

Sorry for the lack of details; I was a bit rushed earlier.

Any site, AFAICT.  Just starting lynx with no parameters goes to
http://lynx.browser.org, with the http://lynx.isc.org/release/ "Lynx
2.8.3" link highlighted.  Pressing the right arrow key gets:

I noticed that the other day actually.  The link in question was one
that did not have a protocol in the URI, for example:   I believe that this is permitted by
the standards, and it allows for having a site accessible with the same
links over both http: and https: at the same time.  (The browser is
supposed to use whichever protocol is in effect currently when presented
with such a URL.)

I did not take the time to figure out why lynx was segfaulting, I just
switched to the linux box where lynx worked correctly on such URIs.  By
any chance was the link you visited the same type?  It could very well
be an upstream bug -- does a lynx upstream still even exist?  I seem to
recall reading that development on it stopped long ago.

enscript ... > $PRINTER fails

[davidr]

Up to last week, I was able to do

> enscript -p- file.txt > $PRINTER

where I had

export PRINTER="//rhosvr01/rhohp4100"
in my /etc/profile

and this worked well.

After my hard drive failed and I reinstalled windows, etc.,
the above enscript command fails with:

bash: //rhosvr01/rhohp4100: No such host or network path

I can print to the printer from any windows app, just not from any
cygwin app.
(I've looked in the archives and tried all the suggestions: 
lpr and cat also fail with other error messages.
Using the share name of the printer makes no difference, nor does using
(doubly) escaped backslashes.)

The printer is a networked HP laserjet 4100 (just stating the obvious),
and the port is HPLaserJet4100MFP.
I tried another printer (also with no spaces in any name) whose port is
DOT4_001, with the same results.
I used to be able to print to this printer last week, too.

Can anyone please tell me what I forgot to set in windows to make this
work as it did before?

Thanks!

Cygwin problem

Hello

I have a problem with cygwin. I wanted to install on my PC cygwin with the UNIX 
text mode.
I don't know why because I tried it many times but cygwin after installing is 
working allways
in the DOS text mode. Furthermore, the most basic functions like "ls" or "dir" 
aren't
working. I need to cygwin for NS-2 (Network Simulator).  Please help me!!!

RE: Exim 4.50 with Content filtering and SPF

[Herb Martin]

You indicated that SPF might be dependent on SRS,
I don't see that (but might be missing something).

My limited experience confirms your previous email pointing
to IPv6 support as the hangup.

> > I compiled libspf & libsrs, though there were some tweaks 
> neccessary.

I take it that you commented out the IPv6 support somehow?
(I haven't even begun searching for those references...)

[Since you folks are kind enough to answer, I 
am presuming that this is the right place for
this discussion (let me know if that is incorrect.)]


It looks mostly like IPv6 stuff is causing the glitches.

libspf2 uses IPv6 which is not supported under Cygwin, and it is not

libsrs2 works fine.

I compiled libspf & libsrs, though there were some tweaks neccessary.

I debug from withing Emacs and when I get that error message it usually

Mouse button copy/paste not working

[Charles Packer]

As a Unix veteran but first-time Cygwin user,  I've discovered that I 
can't paste selected text with the middle button under these 
circumstances: I have logged into a remote Unix system and start some X 
window from there -- an xterm, say, or xedit. I select text in one of 
those windows (by dragging with the left button down) and then try to 
paste somewhere else in the window. It will paste only if the selected 
text is still highlighted. This is not right; it should have been copied 
to some buffer that is still available to the middle button even if the 
originally selected text is no longer highlighted.


Oddly enough, the problem doesn't exist with the local Cygwin xterms and 
xedit -- only with those that the remote system creates. For what it's 
worth, the .xinitrc script that Cygwin uses in this installation runs 
xwinclip and then wmaker. The invocation of twm has been commented out. 
When I do a ps, I see that wmaker appears twice.


Incidentally, occasionally the middle button does worse than merely not 
paste; it kills the window. The error message showing in the main Cygwin 
xterm is: BadAtom(invalid Atom parameter); Major opcode of failed 
request: 18(X_Change Property).

Error debuging with Cygwin: No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command

[Fernando Barsoba]

Hello all,

I'm using Eclipse/CDT/Cygwin, and I'm trying to debug an application. 
I'm getting the following error: "No symbol table is loaded.  Use the 
"file" command."


I'm a little bit confused about the origin of the problem. I have been 
able to debug with Eclispe/CDT/MinGW in the past, so I directly pointed 
out to a Cygwin configuration problem.


Any idea? Below you'll find the complete output from the Debug console.

Thanks,

Fernando

"May".  I recall a patch to setup to add an "--install-all" option, but I
don't think it's been applied.  Here's a reference to the thread:
 -- feel free to
extend on it to get a "--reinstall-all" option (which would probably be
more useful anyway).

Once the above option is in setup, this might work.

Careful there!  One issue with this is that unless you're running a
non-Cygwin sshd and bash, replacing the dependencies of either program
will require a reboot.  Another issue is that setup.exe is a pure Win32
program, and will require that the sshd service has the "interact with
desktop" bit.

> BTW: What is the meaning of the *.lst.gz -files in the /etc/setup folder ?

They contain the listings of all installed packages -- "cygcheck -l" uses
them, as well as "cygcheck -f".

Re: Exim 4.50 with Content filtering and SPF

[Pierre A. Humblet]

- I am about to release exim 4.51, which enables the
  features in chapter 40 of
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec.html

- Exim has a non-traditional configuration and makefile
  system. All Makefile variables have default values
  that can be modified by an OS specific Makefile 
  (OS/Makefile-CYGWIN) and further modified by
  local options (Local/Makefile).
  If you build exim (patched for Cygwin) with an empty
  Local/Makefile, you get exactly the features present in
  the pre-compiled version of exim available with setup.
 This is explained in the README, in
 /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/

Re: NTFS & cygwin inodes

[Eric Blake]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

According to Corinna Vinschen on 6/11/2005 9:00 AM:
> Good question.  It shouldn't, but I wouldn't give any gurantee.

At one point in the distant past
(http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg01648.html), the hash
algorithm was very weak on strings differing only in the suffix (a common
feature of pathnames) (if I recall correctly,
d:\cygwin\tmp\classpath\java\n{et,io} clashed on my win98 box), and I
submitted a patch to improve it.  I think a different hash is in use
today, but it is likewise strong enough for every file I've run across.

The other weirdness is that on FAT and other file systems that don't
support hard links, link() is faked by producing copies, which no longer
have unique inodes, so maybe that is part of the problem.

Exim 4.50 with Content filtering and SPF

[Herb Martin]

In just a week or so, I have fallen in love with CygWin,
and cannot understand how I overlooked it for so long.

Thanks folks.  Well done to all who contribute!

[Please redirect me to the correct list/newsgroup;
even RTFM is fine if you will only tell me which
fine manual and preferable a page or chapter reference.]

Question overview:  related to enabling make options,
and to compiling new versions.  I am not looking for
specific diagnostics of my compile problems (since I
don't have the output at the moment) but rather any
hints or direction to understanding this portor 
reference to the correct list/newsgroups and documentation
for understanding such subjects in general.

(Background:  I am pretty good with compilers and make
but not very experienced with CygWin or Unix specifically.)

I successfully recompiled Exim 3.50 under CygWin (current 
CygWin version from last week: cygwin-1.5.17-1).

It seems the 'normal' Exim "Local/Makefile" isn't really 
used for CygWin compiles (except as a re-Make signal if
touched.)  Maybe this is normal for OS ports, but it seems
to invalidate some of the documentation in the Local/Makefile,
or at least doesn't replace it with any guidelines.)

It appears that the Makefile is really "OS/Makefile-CYGWIN",
and that there are some CygWin specifics in: CYGWIN-PATCHES/

It was possible to enable content filtering by modifying
the Makefile-CYGWIN (WITH_CONTENT_SCAN=yes), but had trouble 
with both  (separately) of:

#EXIM_PERL=perl.o
#EXPERIMENTAL_SPF=yes

It seemed to be due to linking or library errors.

Tried recompiling SPF and failed that due to similar
errors with (each of):

 libspf2-1.2.4/
 libspf2-1.2.5/

...but succeeded with  libsrs_alt-1.0rc1.tar.gz compile.
(which is more or less a sister package to SPF.)

My attempts to compile Exim 4.51 were unsuccessful; my
assumption is that this is due to not having (not even 
attempting to use) the CYGWIN specifics in the current
CygWin 3.50 version but not automatically in the current
Exim 3.51 general version.

Again, I am looking for strategy guidelines (unless you
already know specific fixes etc.)

been run with the bash-3.0-2 experimental version?

Currently, bash-3.0-2 dynamically links in libintl and libiconv (along
with at least sed and coreutils, which is a good reason that these
libraries should be made part of the base packages).  Does dynamic linking
affect the time for a fork() to take place, positively or negatively?
Also, I am still waiting for an updated libreadline6 package before bash
can dynamically link against libreadline as opposed to its own static
version of readline.  And it will take some time before I can audit the
bash source code to see if there are any fork/exec pairs that can be
rewritten with a spawn idiom, to see if that offers any speed improvements.

There's a far better way:  Go a step forward instead of three steps
back.  Try the latest snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/.

I just tried to use zsh as login shell from an ssh session and guess
what?  It works.

Nearly as much as telling us that it works on Linux.

Re: sshd and /usr/bin/zsh

[Martin Vetter]

hi,


I just upgraded cygwin and now
I cannot login to the machine via ssh unless
I change /etc/passwd to use /bin/bash for my shell.


same here after a cygwin update (windows 2000, cygwin 1.5.17):

-  zsh as login shell for non-administrator = login via sshd hangs (!)
- bash as login shell for non-administrator = login via sshd works fine
-  zsh as login shell for the administrator = login via sshd works fine

workaround:
use cygwin1.dll release 1.5.14,
.{15,16,17} won't work ...

- stop cygwin sshd and all other cygwin-related processes
- locate cygwin-1.5.14-1.tar.bz2 via google
- extract usr/bin/cygwin1.dll from cygwin-1.5.14-1.tar.bz2
- backup /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (!), then
- replace /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll in the cygwin installation tree
- start cygwin sshd
- voila, zsh works as login shell again :o)

hope this helps. regards,

martin

You'll need to install vim and perl. 
You'll find vim in the editors category and perl in the interpreters 
category using the cygwin setup program.

Did You consider using a proxy of Your own eg Proxomitron that is able to 
manipulate the user-agent?

Re: Any chance to get Apache 2.0.xx working on cygwin?

Now that we're talking about apache 2 here, is there some chance we 
could include PHP as a module in apache?  The 
apache-php-postgresql/mysql framework has been waiting for a long time 
in cygwin now.  I remember around 2 years ago that the framework (at 
least with postgresql) used to be in cygwin.


Why not? If you or anyone is contributing PHP.

There is just one problem.  PHP *can* compile in cygwin but the wrong 
thing is compiled.   (I'm trying to configure PHP as a module that will 
load into apache)  Doing a ./configure, make, runs with no errors.  
However, when doing a make install, here's what crops up:


$ make install
Installing PHP SAPI module:   apache
apxs:Error: file libs/libphp4.so is not a DSO
make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1

The thing is, libs/libphp4.so does not exist but only libs/libpp4.a


This is the problem, Cygwin is not supported from the PHP people.  They
use their own buildsystem instead of an automake/autoconf/libtool
chain.


I remember someone saying before that there is a problem in libtool.  
However, I don't quite understand how libtool works.


Here's what the make warning says:

libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-cygwin 
shared libraries




This usually means that the flag -no-undefined is missing.  However,
once you add this flag the mess begins.


If anyone could help me build php4 on cygwin, I would volunteer as its 
maintainer.


I got it compiled once, including shared modules, but it was too much
work.

Try to understand how their build systems works and add the missing
bits, most work will be to get the changes included in the upstream
sources.


Thank you very much!

Re: Clone cygwin-setup settings from one PC to another

[Oliver Geisen]

Hi,


is it possible to find out which packages installed via SETUP.EXE on
one PC and use this information (selection) to automatically install
the same on another PC ?


Or simply copy the installed.db file, make the package cache available 
on

the network, do "install from local directory", and set All to
"Reinstall".

Sounds good...


There may even be a command-line option to setup to do this.
You'd still need to replicate any changed configuration files, 
though...

"may" ? or is there any ?
This would be the key for a distribution system.
So i could save the "installed.db" for some systems according to their 
station names und start
an sync-script everytime i change something. This script could be 
started from ssh-bash.


BTW: What is the meaning of the *.lst.gz -files in the /etc/setup 
folder ?



Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

Oliver Geisen
