I don't know. The current Boost package is the only Boost Cygwin package
so far. You could try to compile some older Boost than 1.33.0 from sources.

I don't know. The current Boost package is the only Boost Cygwin package
so far. You could try to compile some older Boost than 1.33.0 from sources.



Actually, I tried to compile the test libraries of boost 1.33 myself 
like this:


bjam -sTOOLS=gcc --with-test stage

And that command produced the test libraries for me. The only difference 
from your libraries was that their extension was .lib instead of .a. How 
did you manage to get .a libraries? Is there any difference between .a 
and .lib in Cygwin?


When I changed the extension of boost_unit_test_framework to .a and 
compiled and linked my test with -lboost_unit_test_framework I got a 
working binary.


However, I would like to be able to build my project with a vanilla 
installation of Cygwin. This would make it easier for me to share my 
project with other people since they would only have to install the 
correct versions (preferable the latest) of the Cygwin packages to be 
able to build it.


In what way is the test libraries broken under Cygwin?

I don't know why cygwin-apps is registered as a one-way only list on
gmane, but I have also found it is annoying that you can't post there
through gmane.  It would take permission from the list owner for gmane to
change the policy on their mirroring of the list (at least gmane still
respects the subscriber-only posting rules).  However, gmane also has the
annoying property of not allowing file attachments, so you really should
be using a proper email client and not gmane when trying to send attachments.

As for you comments about cygwin applications, they really do belong on
cygwin-apps; I've changed the reply-to accordingly.  Also, attachments are
better received if they are MIME attachments, not uuencoded inline; and
with a text MIME type if they really are text based (the number of mail
clients out there that blindly assume every attachment should be marked
application/octet-stream is unfortunate).

There has been no response from the uw-imap maintainer, at least per

are volunteering to maintain it, you will need to respond directly on the

Your opinion is wrong.  Not only will it make future upgrades hard, it
will also not fix the problem, since, as Eric said, this is a legitimate
message that resulted from installing an experimental version of the
coreutils package.

To reiterate: there is *NEVER*[*] any reason to copy cygwin1.dll anywhere
but the directory mounted as /bin.  Doing so will only break your Cygwin
installation.

I had a similar experience this morning, except the DirectX update hung
with inetd using all the CPU.  Shutting down inetd allowed the update to
complete.

Errr.. NO!

If you want to use the cygwin1.dll that's a part of cygwin, add
cygwin\bin to your path (drive letter omitted here).
Then you just make sure and remove any cygwin1.dll's from apps you install.
That way you're always using the most up to date one, and never have a
conflict between the version cygwin has installed and what you have in
your windows directory.

Corinna and I were thinking that 1.5.20 could be the next B20, actually.

If I could just figure out Volker's hang problem, I'd release 1.5.19 and
then we'd be on the road to nirvana.

rxvt as replacement for windows terminal

Plus a local /tmp and /var/tmp...  Also, if the machines sharing the drive
have different OSs, the /etc/{hosts,networks,protocols,services} symlinks
will be broken.  You're probably better off with a local /etc as well,
with symlinks to a shared /etc for stuff that needs sharing (e.g.,
/etc/profile).

One more thing: unless the shared drive has the same access path (i.e.,
drive letter) on all machines, you may want to adapt /cygwin.bat.

sure there are no current security concerns or things that I should be 
aware of.  I just wanted to know if anybody else had any issues where it 
conflicted with any existing application that was running at the time or 
any modification they had to make to cygwin for security purposes. 


Beyond the FAQ entry I pointed you to, there is no additional "caveats" to
using OpenSSH under Cygwin.

Thanks again Christopher and Brian for the help.

The problem is that native windows binaries like edit.com or python for

Is there a solution for this or what is the problem?


Windows programs don't understand Cygwin ttys.  The workarounds are:

  - Don't use Windows programs with rxvt.
  - Go back to using cmd.exe (without 'tty' set in your CYGWIN environment
variable) if you must use Windows programs.

You can find plenty of discussion about this issue in the email archives if
you're interested in further info.

I'm sorry that it didn't occur to me much earlier that this was a cygwin
heap problem that was fixed in a snapshot.

I guess that, as a rule of thumb, "try a snapshot" is always a good idea.

Not to be a total brown nose, but I've been using cygwin for a long time 
and this is only the second time I've had to resort to a snapshot to 
solve a problem. In other words cygwin is normally stable enough so I 
don't think to try a snapshot.


I should have tried it before posting.

At least I learned how to build a debug version of the binutils package 
on cygwin.


Thanks again, and I forgot to thank René Berber for his input,
Pete

Incidentally, that fix also solves the check_case problem I reported,
since, due to the wrong case, Cygwin simply thought that the directory was
non-existent.  My patch attempted to make Cygwin understand that the
directory was valid, whereas your approach is much simpler.  In any case,
I'm happy... Thanks! :-)

The T: drive is my tmp volume; when I first started seeing this error, I
had Windows environment variables TEMP and TMP set to "T:\".  I've since
changed them to T:\FOO and T:\BAR respectively but that hasn't changed
the error message.

The packages it's trying to install are:

  Package Current   New
  cygwin-doc  1.4-2 1.4-3
  dejagnu   20021217-2
  expect20030128-1

  openssl097  0.9.7g-1  0.9.7h-1
  stunnel 4.11-14.12-1

This is a new install (less than a week old) on a freshly-built XP Pro
SP2 system.  The problem started after I'd been using the system for a
couple of days.

Sleep not terminating

[David Rothenberger]

I'm encountering a weird problem with sleep.

If I run

$ while true; do sleep 120; done &
[1] 6780
$ kill %1

the bash process (6780) and its child sleep process are both killed.

However, if I kill the bash process using the pid, the child sleep 
process is not killed.


$ while true; do sleep 120; done &
[1] 5528
$ kill 5528
$ ps -ef | grep sleep
  drothe6532   1   0  12:26:41 /bin/sleep

I guess this problem has been around for a while. I'm seeing it with the 
latest snapshot and also with 1.5.18, with the latest bash and the test 
bash.

I don't suppose that you tried this on linux, did you?  Same behavior.

It's what I'd expect.  In the first case, by specifying "%1", you're
killing the process group, which consists of the bash process and the
sleep process.  In the second case, by specifying the bash pid, you're
killing only the bash process.  Since bash apparently doesn't have any
special "kill my subprocess" behavior, I wouldn't expect sleep to go
away.

problems with top using Cygwin ssh to Debian 31r0a

[David Christensen]

Cygwin:

When I use Cygwin to ssh into a Debian 3.1 stable ("Sarge") machine and run
"top", the newlines seem to be double-expanded -- e.g. there is a blank line
between each line of information.  This problem does not occur when I ssh into a
Debian 3.0 stable ("Woody") machine.  This problem does not occur on either
Debian machine if I use Putty.


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David

What gets me right now is cleartool from IBM Rational is written for

use. That and I'm currently working on a Perl script for Clearquest 
which requires cqperl - an ActiveState based Perl which also doesn't 
understand ptys...


But for you I fail to see why you would want to use edit.com! I mean 
geezer a .com executable! Ain't that quaint!


And as for python, I would hope that you are writing the sort of Python 
code that it relatively portable so you can use Cygwin's Python and if 
you must use whatever Python for Windows you have after you're done. If 
I didn't need to use cqperl I'd be using Cygwin's Perl...
