In 90% of the cases, the reason for "Why doesn't X exist?" is that no
one had taken the time to implement it.  That was the case here.
readdir_r was never implemented.  I have, however, just added it to the
DLL.  It will be in the next cygwin snapshot:

XP x64 steps?

[Mike Miller]

Hello--

I'm new to the list.  I would love to get Cygwin running on my Windows XP 
x64 system.  I found some recent messages from this list and they helped 
enough that I got Cygwin up, but there were errors in the installation 
such that I am missing many important things like ls and mv!  But most 
other things seem to be there.  The install stuck repeatedly on 
sysvinit.sh and on xinetd.sh, so I renamed those scripts and skipped them.


What I'd really like to see is some instructions on how I can get Cygwin 
running on XP x64.  Are such instructions planned, or will a new version 
of the installer just work with XP x64?  I used the 8/19 versions of the 
snapshots of cygwin1-20050819.dll.bz2 and cygwin-inst-20050819.tar.bz2, 
but I might not have used them correctly (I just overwrote old files with 
new ones midway through the install).


I appreciate any help you can offer.  Thanks in advance.

Mike

Abandon that idea.  Windows device drivers barely resemble C code.  They are
about as far away from POSIX as it is possible to get.  I am not
exaggerating.

You are in for a world of hurt the magnitude of which you can not possibly
imagine.

The short form is that it is nonsensical to talk of "moving code into kernal
space" on Windows.  From the very start, you have to design the code to
cleave to Windows' notions of how a device driver must operate.  And large
chunks of that notion are undocumented.  Still larger chunks are erroneously
documented.  The rare portion that is clearly and correctly documented is
certain to change with the release of the next service pack.

Do one of the following:

- Contract the job out to an experienced shop that does drivers and drivers
only.
- Look into one of these "Write your drivers in C++ in 10 minutes!" packages
that are around.  I have no experience with them, and frankly would expect
them to cause more problems than they solved, but who knows, you might get
lucky.

An entirely separate issue, and completely unrelated to writing Windows
drivers.  It would do you no good even if it could be statically linked.

RE: Trying to build crm114 (20050721) under CygWin 1.5.18-1 SUCCESS

[Herb Martin]

Thanks again folks. 

crm114 now passes even the megatest.sh script that
accompanies it.  

Using merely these (changed) settings:

LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib
LIBS += -lintl -liconv

$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(OFILES) \
crmregex_tre.o \
-ltre $(LIBS) -o crm114_tre

This is the current build (20050721 BlameitonNeilArmstrong).

I do appreciate the help and patience in
reading and responding to my messages.

I thought that was what the various "mask" ACLs did, but someone more
familiar with ACLs and getfacl/setfacl needs to chime in here...

You can also try "cacls" and whatever the equivalent ACL modification tool
is from Microsoft.

You mean "nontsec", don't you?  In "nontsec" mode, Cygwin lets Windows
handle the file ACLs, which results in inherited permissions.

I believe POSIX mandates that "touch" use permissions 0666&~umask for new
files (i.e., the execute bits in the umask are ignored).

Hm...  It seems that (get|set)facl do allow detailed permissions to be
set, but what I really need is the inherited
property/attribute/whatever to be set, as these files need to have
permissions matching those of their final destinations.  It's okay to

Incidentally, while I was using the ntsec default for permissions,
all this stuff worked correctly...

Also, with umask set to 077, a file I create with "touch" will end up

numerous other types of permissions.

Cygwin maps POSIX permissions to Windows ACLs.  In particular, one
decision that was made was to replace the ACLs instead of appending to
them, to better reflect the POSIX permission model.

chmod, and other POSIX programs know nothing about ACLs (which is where
inheritance is specified).  You should, however, be able to use
"getfacl/setfacl" to do what you want.

This is a symptom of something else having that file open.

* What Antivirus software do you have? They sometimes take a few seconds 
to do their check, during which time the file is open.

Er, yeah.  That's what I meant when I said:

Nope.  POSIX requires that when there is one argument, it evaluates
to true if it is not empty.  Neither -n nor -z is empty, so they are both
true.  Remember, if there are no quotes around a word, it is subject to
field splitting, such that an empty string disappears from the argument
list altogether, and you are only giving one argument to [.

Yep - adding the quotes now forces the second word to remain,
even if it is empty, and with two arguments to [, -n and -z now
become mutually exclusive unary operators instead of strings.

I think when -n and -z aren't given a parameter, the results are
unspecified.  You need to quote the output of $(which...):

$ [ -n "$(which nonexisingfilename 2>/dev/null)" ] && [ -z "$(which 
nonexistingfilename 2&>/dev/null)" ] && echo hello
$

I'm moved to tears.

The reason was an incorrect (better: missing) handling of $HOME
in rshd in the Cygwin code building the new environment for the
child process.  I've fixed that and uploaded a new inetutils
version 1.3.2-30 which should show up on the mirrors soon.

This defaults to

I would have expected a syntax error in that case.

Regardless of that, however, if you want to actually make this work you
need to do something like:

  [ -n "$(which nonexisingfilename 2>/dev/null)" ]

sftp a big file

[Jack Offerman]

Last night I tried to sftp a really big file and it failed at about 90
percent done.
I saw an error message that's somewhat similar to "Message received too big".
It is my daily practice to download big files using sftp and I have
never seen that
before. The size is usally about 500MB to 1GB and I have no problem doing them.
But this one was way bigger than that and I'm wondering if there is any filesize
limitation on sftp/cygwin.

Makes

Thank you.  

Thanks to eveyone who tried to help me.

It runs (minimaly) and passes the first of the two
trivial tests given in the crm114 "How To" document
-- it seems to hang on the second (Hello, world!)
test, but the basic (make/link) problem is solved.

Thanks Gerrit; thanks again eveyone.

Now, to debug the program.

I'm not going to build crm114 now.  Yaakov already did so.

Go fetch his binaries:
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/release/crm114/
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/release/tre/

You may take a look at the source package to see how packages
are created and what changes were needed to build this very
special package named crm114.BlameBillYerazunis.

The problem I am running into, is what Linux considers user space, windows 
does not.


So to port the code, with minimal changes, I have to move it into kernel 
space on windows. IGNORING RED FLAGS THERE.


So that being said, why can't the cygwin libraries be linked statically?

The make utility is pretty smart about what it can do by default --
reading "info make" can be pretty, well, informative (pun intended).
Run "make -p -f /dev/null" to see what the default rules are.

building device drivers

[Jason Pyeron]

I am building a windows device driver (libraw1394), now I want to do it 
using cygwin (port of Linux device driver). I assume I will need to 
statically link to cygwin libs.


I am assuming the windows device drivers cannot have DLL dependencies.

So can things be linked statically? If so an example, please?

Re-entrant versions of functions

[syphon]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build some example code from 'Programming with POSIX 
Threads' by David Butenhof, and have run into an error because one of 
the programs calls readdir_r.  From googling and searching the mailing 
lists, it looks like there has been some work done on the re-entrant 
versions of the standard functions, but nothing seems to be built in the 
shipping binary code.


I downloaded the cygwin source and there is definition for readdir_r in 
newlib/libc/posix however there is no corresponding declaration in any 
header file.


My question is, is there a reason that the re-entrant versions of the 
functions like readdir_r are not built?


This isn't a critical issue for me - I just want to play with this stuff 
on my laptop on the train without needing to dual-boot into linux (so 
I'm just being lazy!).  However I'm still curious, so if anyone has an 
answer I'd be greatful.


Many thanks

DL

Change the Makefile so that $LIBS are at the end behind the objects

How does that fix anything?  Where do -ltre and -lintl come from?  Are
you adding them to $LIBS?  If so then that's not going to work as you've
still got the wrong order.

Thank you Mr. Faylor. I have installed the cygwin1.dll dated August
19. If I see any relevant messages from Cygwin software, I will post
to this mail list. The problem I have is intermittent, so all I can do
is (stress) test the DLL from now to eternity.

... Apparently I don't know that much since I just checked and they are
distributed.  But all the imports in libm should be in libcygwin too:

$ nm /usr/lib/libcygwin.a |grep fabs
 T __fabs
 I __imp___fabs
 T __fabsf
 I __imp___fabsf
 I __imp__fabs
 T _fabs
 I __imp__fabsf
 T _fabsf

$ nm /usr/lib/libm.a |grep fabs
 I __imp__fabs
 T _fabs
 I __imp__fabsf
 T _fabsf

So the libm, libpthread, etc are probably just there to satisfy link
command lines that specify them, but all the functionality is in
libcygwin.a / cygwin1.dll anyway.

Adding -lm is a complete no-op.  I dont' think it will improve any link
efficieny since it is just a subcomponent of libcygwin.a and libcygwin.a
is always searched anyway.

Removing it from link lines is the way to go, IMO.

I'm surprised the Makefile is not using the default link rule, e.g.,
something like

LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib
LDLIBS += -lm -ltre
LDLIBS += -lintl -liconv
crm114_tre: $(OFILES) crmregex_tre.o
$(LINK.o) $^ $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS) -o $@

which would do the right thing w.r.t. library order, etc...

It's finding the library just fine.  If you specify a -lfoo and it can't
find libfoo then you get an error about not being able to find libfoo. 
But that's not the error you're getting so that's not your problem.

The libraries must come after the objects that reference them.

I have no idea how this makefile is structured and since it apparently
doesn't use autotools (ggghhh!!) then you'll probably have to hack
it up.  This is precisely why using home-made Makefiles is a terrible
idea.  You need to find where the actual gcc link command is constructed
and see how the order is specified in order to figure out how to get the
libraries in the right place.

libm is a subcomponent of the final cygwin1.dll, which merges several
such components.  There's also libpthread, libc, libserver, libutil, the
malloc code, the startup code (etc.) all of which are combined to make
cygwin1.dll.  As far as I know this is only done for link efficiency, as
these sub-libs are never distributed and probably don't work as
standalone libraries.

I always remove -lm from every link line.  IIRC, all which is included
in libm.a is also in libcygwin.a?  E.g. take this:

$ nm /usr/lib/libm.a | grep _log1pf
 I __imp__log1pf
 T _log1pf

$ nm /usr/lib/libcygwin.a | grep _log1pf
 I __imp___log1pf
 T __log1pf
 I __imp__log1pf
 T _log1pf

So why should I include libm?

Ok, so I just dropped the -L/lib (and :/lib) and even tried 
adding the TRE lib directory which is below the crm build 
directory (as opposed to the same one I think is installed
in /usr/bin/local):

-L./tre-0.7.2/lib

...in the thought that maybe the supposedly installed tre
libs were not getting picked up -- no joy.  Didn't help.

Order of what specifically?  I am modifying these lines in
the Makefile:

LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib  
#LIBS += -lintl -liconv 

I uncommented the second line and added various
combinations of -L to the first, and -ltre to the
second.

LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib  
LIBS += -ltre -lintl -liconv 
(and trying -ltre at the end; is THIS the order
you were referencing?)

The dependency tha that is failing looks like this:

crm114_tre: $(OFILES) crmregex_tre.o
#   Note: if you haven't installed TRElib, the next step 
#   will get an error.
#   For TRElib, look in the TRE sub-directory of this kit.
#   Remember to use ./configure --enable-static for static libs.
#   You will also need to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf,
#   and then run ldconfig (as root) to set the library up and make
#   the library known to the static and runtime linkers.
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS) $(OFILES) \
  crmregex_tre.o \
  -lm -ltre -o crm114_tre

[Ramón]

Hi to all,

when I do:

# rsh -l Administrator MYHOST set | grep HOME

I obtain:

HOME=/
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH='\cygwin\home\Administrator'

$HOME must be /home/Administrator 

With ssh $HOME is correctly declarated:

# ssh -l Administrator MYHOST set | grep HOME
HOME=/home/Administrator
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH='\cygwin\home\Administrator'


WHY ?? I need ~ and $HOME correctly declarated !!

Regards,

Ramón.

error 231 is ERROR_PIPE_BUSY -- that's a very strange error to be coming

I've created a new snapshot which may work around this problem by trying

Thanks to everyone who offered a suggestion -- I don't
have crm114 building yet, but I at least feel like I
am BEGINNING to understand the link (not well enough
however.)

Will do.  (If I can figure out where.)

There is a /bin/cygintl.dll, and in /lib there are:

libintl.a libintl.dll.a libintl.la

If I change -L/usr/local/lib to -L/usr/local/lib:/lib
the problem moves to "-ltre"; if I leave out the :/lib
or try to use a separate -L/lib then the errors messages
references libintl again.  (Obviously, I am just flailing,
trying each combination.)

TRE makes and tests just fine.  Do you think that TRE

crm114 doesn't use configure.  Did you intend this

of the problem.)

So, as I understand it, the TRE libs in /usr/local/lib
make sense, correct?

rsh , $HOME environment variable

[Ramón]

Hi to all,

when I do: 

# rsh -l Administrator MYHOST set | grep HOME

I obtain:

HOME=/
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH='\cygwin\home\Administrator'

$HOME must be /home/Administrator 

With ssh $HOME is correctly declarated:

# ssh -l Administrator MYHOST set | grep HOME
HOME=/home/Administrator
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH='\cygwin\home\Administrator'


WHY ?? I need ~ and $HOME correctly declarated !!

Regards,

Ramón.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: tar-1.15.1-2

[Eric Blake]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

A new release of tar, 1.15.1-2, is available.

NEWS:
=
This is a new upstream release, with a new maintainer.  Upstream changes
since the previous version, 1.13.25-7, are listed below, and can be found
in /usr/share/doc/tar-1.15.1/NEWS.

Additionally, for text files managed by tar (such as incremental listings,
as opposed to actual binary tar files), this version no longer forces \r\n
line endings on binary mounts.  Also, it is now possible to use file lists
that have managed mount filenames including \r by using the --null option.
 The testsuite passes for both binary and text mounts, so please report
any problems caused by this change.

DESCRIPTION:

GNU Tar is an archiver program. It is used to create and manipulate files
that are actually collections of many other files; the program provides
users with an organized and systematic method of controlling a large
amount of data.  Despite its name, that is an acronym of "tape archiver",
GNU Tar is able to direct its output to any available devices, files or
other programs, it may as well access remote devices or files.  The main
areas of usage for GNU Tar are: storage, backup and transportation.

UPDATE:
===
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.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'tar' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected).

DOWNLOAD:
=
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest
to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing
list is the appropriate place.

version 1.15.1 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2004-12-21

This version fixes a bug introduced in 1.15 which caused 
tar to refuse to extract files from standard input.


version 1.15 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2004-12-20

* Compressed archives are recognised automatically, it is no longer
necessary to specify -Z, -z, or -j options to read them. Thus, you can
now run `tar tf archive.tar.gz'.

* When restoring incremental dumps, --one-file-system option
prevents directory hierarchies residing on different devices
from being purged.

With the previous versions of tar it was dangerous to create
incremental dumps with --one-file-system option, since they
would recursively remove mount points when restoring from the
back up. This change fixes the bug.

* Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with
the GNU convention.

* Skipping archive members is sped up if the archive media supports
seeks.

* Restore script starts restoring only if it is given --all (-a) option,
or some patterns. This is to prevent accidental restores.

* `tar --verify' prints a warning if during archive creation some of
the file names had their prefixes stripped off.

* New option --exclude-caches instructs tar to exclude cache directories
automatically on archive creation. Cache directories are those
containing a standardized tag file, as specified at:

http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html   

* New configure option --with-rmt allows to specify full path name to
the `rmt' utility. This supercedes DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND variable
introduced in version 1.14

* New configure variable DEFAULT_RMT_DIR allows to specify the directory
where to install `rmt' utility. This is necessary since modifying
--libexecdir as was suggested for version 1.14 produced a side effect: it
also modified installation prefix for backup scripts (if
--enable-backup-scripts was given).

* Bugfixes:
** Fixed flow in recognizing files to be included in incremental dumps.
** Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used

Please just update the FAQ to point to http://cygwin.com/license.html .
There is no need to keep this information in two places.

I think that this is a good rule to follow, in general.  The FAQ
shouldn't be summarizing or paraphrasing information that is available
elsewhere; it should be just pointing to the information.  IIRC, the FAQ
also has advice on how to post to the cygwin mailing lists which is
covered by http://cygwin.com/lists.html and
http://cygwin.com/problems.html .

Ask them what's wrong with their instructions.  People using the
official instructions and /bin/ssh-host-config don't have these
problems.  Try reading /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README, it's
meant to be helpful.

Hi.
I've been trying to set up a ssh server on a Windows XP machine
with cygwin. I followed the instructions at
http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html
but keep getting:
ssh: connect to host xx port 22: Connection refused
when I try to connect.
I tried including port 22 (tcp) in my list of execeptions or
even disabling the firewall altogether but the I keep
receiving the same messge. Any ideas?

ld.so.conf and ldconfig are aspects of the Linux dynamic linker.  There
is no such thing under Windows or Cygwin, so those instructions are
meaningless.  The closest equivalent is to ensure that the installed DLL
is in the path.  This normally means that if you configured with
--prefix=/usr/local (the default) that you should get a
cyg.dll in /usr/local/bin and hence you need /usr/local/bin in
the path.  Only static libraries and import libraries go in
/usr/local/lib, and these do not need to be in the path.

I assume this is a copy and paste error and that there was no space in
`_libintl_gettext'.  It sounds like you need to add -lintl to the link
command line.  If I'm not mistaken, these functions are part of glibc on
the Linux platform so there is no need for any extra -l switches there. 
If this is the case then it indicates that the configury for this
program is seriously broken, because these things are supposed to be
detected.  You might try an autoreconf --install --force --verbose (or
run the equivalent bootstrap.sh if included) before trying anything
else.

Trying to install current version of crm114
(crm114-20050721-BlameNeilArmstrong.src) under cygwin 1.5.18 without success
(see relevant output below).

http://crm114.sourceforge.net/

Just prior to the error the make file outputs a warning that if TRE (the
regex library) is not installed you will get an error AND that to fix this
you must edit /etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/local/lib, and then run
ldconfig.

I have made, tested and installed TRE (tre-0.7.2, the version included with
the crm114 source) but there was no file '/usr/local/lib' and "which
ldconfig" does not find that program. (make, make check, and make install
all succeed for TRE.

Documentation indicates TRE must be prepared with './configure
--enable-static' (which I did.)
(CRM114 & Mailfilter HOWTO
)

[Needless to say, I am not very familiar with linking or writing make files
on cygwin.]

The above error just means that you'r missing libintl at your link
command, try to add -lintl to the Makefile where appropriate.


There are ready to use TRE packages.  E.g. here:
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/release/tre/

There is also a source package, including a script and patch (if
any patch is needed), the patch may be adopted for newer releases
and the script contains the configure options used to build this
package.  However, you also may try to use this older version without
rebuilding TRE.

Trying to build crm114 (20050721) under CygWin 1.5.18-1

[Herb Martin]

[I would of course love a solution for this, but even hints on how to
approach such a problem will be greatly appreciated.]

Trying to install current version of crm114
(crm114-20050721-BlameNeilArmstrong.src) under cygwin 1.5.18 without success
(see relevant output below).

http://crm114.sourceforge.net/

Just prior to the error the make file outputs a warning that if TRE (the
regex library) is not installed you will get an error AND that to fix this
you must edit /etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/local/lib, and then run
ldconfig.

I have made, tested and installed TRE (tre-0.7.2, the version included with
the crm114 source) but there was no file '/usr/local/lib' and "which
ldconfig" does not find that program. (make, make check, and make install
all succeed for TRE.

Documentation indicates TRE must be prepared with './configure
--enable-static' (which I did.)
(CRM114 & Mailfilter HOWTO
)

[Needless to say, I am not very familiar with linking or writing make files
on cygwin.]

[There is a SourceForge project for ports that are NOT included in the
standard CygWin release:

...which has crm114 20040328-1 from 2004-04-21 (most/all of the packages
there are dated from 2004.
This one doesn't make for me either.]

Thanks, it looks like it's 
http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/

I'll update this weekend.

Broken link at http://cygwin.com/faq.html

[Gerald Pfeifer]

http://cygwin.com/faq.html has one (I believe actually more than one)
link to http://www.redhat.com/software/tools/cygwin/ which is broken.

I don't have the current URL at redhat.com, but thought you might want
to know; it's kind of critical, since that's the pointer to the license
information for non-GPL use.

It's a beginning.  Thanks.

The next step is to find out what object is the argument passed to
mark_object in frame #1.  This is the object that caused the abort.

Also, please send the output of the GDB command xbacktrace, it should
produce the Lisp traceback at this point (although it looks like Emacs
crashed right at startup, so the Lisp traceback will not tell anything
important).

This is wrong.  etc/DEBUG says:

The variable
`last_marked_index' holds the index into the `last_marked' array one
place beyond where the pointer to the very last marked object is
stored.

See that ``one place beyond'' part?  So you should have said

(gdb) print last_marked[21]

I can run about 300 processes on my XP SP2 laptop no problem.
