RFC: [ITP] Installation Profiles packages
As the latest installment in the recent series of major D'oh!s, I realized that the installation profiles I previously proposed for setup could be initially implemented as special packages with the right dependences. This still doesn't absolve us from adding some more sophisticated support for these in setup (e.g., communicating the user prerefence about creating desktop icons to them), but it's a start, and it'll cut down on the I installed Cygwin, so how come gcc doesn't work (and the much more annoying just install everything, it's only 2 gigs answers to those). IMO, these packages should be in a special new category (I propose the name @Profiles to make setup put this at the top, but I don't know if setup will parse this correctly). I've attached a few sample profile packages for commonly requested configurations with the corresponding setup.hints. We could probably concentrate them all in one directory (thus the '@ ...' lines at the top of the hint files). All the .tar.bz2 files are the same empty tarball -- it's the setup.hints that are important. Comments and other suggestions welcome. Note that the attached packages are an initial cut at defining those profiles -- I'm bound to have missed something. Also, I'm not proposing to maintain *all* of the profiles, though I could maintain the ones I've attached, as there isn't too much work involved.

This would be particularly nice if setup.exe were modified so that on an initial installation, it showed a profile selection page first, instead of the package selection page. The profile selection page would let the user choose one or more profiles to install; the packages selected would be a union of the dependencies from the profiles. There could be a check box for advanced package selection that the user could select if they wanted to go to the regular package selection page. Re-running setup.exe (for updates, as opposed to an installation) would skip the profile selection page and go straight to the package selection page. -Samrobb

Yes, I'm sorry, I did so because I wanted to run the testsuite automatically, since libtool is broken in this regard. Another, better option would be to add the build directories to the PATH before running the testsuite. Why don't you use the g-b-s for libidn ?

Lets try with this one: RUN(1) User Commands RUN(1) NAME run - start programs with hidden console SYNOPSIS run [-p path] command [-wait] arguments runcommand [-p path] [-wait] argument DESCRIPTION Windows programs are either GUI programs or console programs. When started, console programs will either attach to an existing console or create a new one. GUI programs can never attach to an exiting console. There is no way to attach to an existing console but hide it if started as GUI program. run will do this for you. It works as intermediate and starts a program but makes the console window hidden. With -p path you can add path to the PATH environment variable. Issuing -wait as first program argument will make run wait for program completition, otherwise it returns immediately. The second variant is for creating wrappers. If the executable is named runcommand (eg runemacs), run will try to start the program (eg emacs).

opendir,readdir
I'm new to Cygwin, and I'm trying to port some applications that run under HPUX 10.20.

HP is obsolescing this function and recommends that you rewrite this function using opendir and readdir functions. My question is does Cygwin support these functions and if so what library are they located in. They don't show up in the man pages, but the do show up in the man pages on a pc running RedHat Linux.

nfs problems
I have a w2k box running cygwin and in particular the nfs-server. Then I have serge debian box with the standard stuff. It seems that nfs-server is not able to actually make available stuff outside the cygwin root. Is this a hard fact or is there space for a misconfiguration? in the w2k box I have installed cygwin under c:\Optional\cygwin and I have used --change-cygdrive-prefix for changing the prefix to '/'. c: and d: are local hard drives in the w2k machine. My output is shown below. Trying to mount /c gives a catastrophic error output, trying to mount /d seems to be less serious but a failure anyhow. Mounting / works great. cygwin is great stuff and nfs-server is valuable.

php5 on cygwin
Hello, I had a brief communication with Tod on this mailing of his - http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg00077.html I managed to compile Apache 1.3.34 and php 5.1 RC4 on cygwin and Tod suggested that I post it to the list for reference. Here are the steps - 1. Get latest cygwin and the following packages - bison, cvs, flex, gcc, gd, grep, keychain, libtool1.5, libxml, libxml2, libxml2-devel, make, openssh, perl, readline, rsync, unzip, vim, whois, zip These are all packages I have and use. Some of them I had to install because Apache or php needed them, but I did not keep track which were for what. You can experiment by removing some that seem unneeded and see where it will stop working. For sure you will need bison, flex, gcc, some of the libxml packages, make and readline. 2. Unzip the Apache source In the Apache source directory type - ./configure And press Enter. 3. Unzip the php source In the php source directory type - ./configure --with-apache=[PATH TO APACHE SOURCE DIRECTORY FROM POINT 1.] --with-pgsql I use PostgreSQL so I quote it literally. Perhaps it would work with another database too and perhaps it will work without. Note that I did a default compile of PostgreSQL 8.0.4 from sources. I am _not_ sure if you get it as cygwin package that this way it will work, as I suspect that the cygwin PostgreSQL package is not installed in the same locations as if you compile PostgreSQL from source. 4. Still in the php source directory make make install 5. Go back to the Apache source directory ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a make make install Then configure httpd.conf by adding index.php to the indexes and - AddType application/x-httpd-php .php somewhere else. This way of installing makes Apache to compile with php so that php is somehow embedded into Apache. That's all. Start apache and you should have it. If somebody has questions, I'll be glad to answer.

The OP was asking two separate questions: (a) is it possible to specify a list of packages that setup would automatically install, and (b) is there a command-line installer available. The answer to (b) is no. The answer to (a) (which is what you seem to be asking as well) is most definitely yes. I've posted this recipe a few times already: create an empty package on your own server, put it in the Base category (which is what setup.exe selects by default on new installs), and make that package depend on the packages you want installed. You'll need to create a custom setup.ini file (see http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-server.html), but don't need to create a full-fledged mirror (i.e., having the users select both your mirror and some other mirror will also work).

Last time I installed cygwin, I also installed cygnome and it would crash setup using the current version at the time. I had to finad version 2.340.2.5 of setup and use that. Well, it stands to reason, then, to try the newest version of setup, not embark on quests for older ones. Why not try the latest snapshot[*] and, only if that fails too, report this as a bug and grab an older version? So far, setup has been backwards compatable with older versions of the Cygwin distribution. Trying the latest setup.exe is always advisable. Is there an archive of these versions somewhere? If the newest snapshot doesn't work for you, you can try grabbing the one you want from the Cygwin Time Machine (Google for it). Note that anything you get from there is unsupported on this list. Unfortunately, the Cygwin Time Machine hasn't been archiving setup.exe (at least not consistently). The top of /pub/cygwin/ always has the latest setup.exe (and setup.ini), but the Time Machine hasn't been archiving it because there's no automatic way to extract the version number from it. There is a setup-snapshots dir that has a smattering of older setup versions, but keeping it up to date with the latest versioning it appropriately isn't something I've automated (yet). Even http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/ doesn't have the latest setup.exe. I'd also like to point out that the setup source is not being distributed anymore as part of the cygwin release. The last source dist was setup-2.427-1-src.tar.bz2 (back on 2004-04-25). It would really be nice if setup was treated as just another package and distributed as such, but I understand the work involved and so I haven't actively pushed for this until now. Brian, How hard would it be to generate a source binary dist each time a release of setup is made? Or, at the lease, could the version number be stored as a string with some eye-catcher tag so that it can easily be extracted? Pretty please?

I had previously found a problem with readv (http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01626.html). The simple test case submitted with that previous inquiry produces a segmentation fault in cygwin1.dll version 1.5.18 on the readv call.

The test looks like: my $catpid = open my $cat, |cat or die Couldn't cat: $!; open my $ps, ps| or die Couldn't do ps: $!; my ($catwinpid) = map /^.\s+$catpid\s+\d+\s+\d+\s+(\d+)/, $ps; close($ps); is(Cygwin::winpid_to_pid($catwinpid), $catpid, winpid to pid); is(Cygwin::pid_to_winpid($catpid), $catwinpid, pid to winpid); close($cat); in perl, where Cygwin::winpid_to_pid internally just calls cygwin32_winpid_to_pid. I'm not able to think of any way in which system load or a race could cause this failure.

ln, ls or readline problem?
Hello, In my home directory named /home/Carlo, I have a directory named foo and under foo is the directory bar: $ ls -ld foo drwxr-xr-x 3 Carlo None 0 Nov 9 08:46 foo $ ls -ld foo/bar drwxr-xr-x 2 Carlo None 0 Nov 9 08:46 foo/bar I also have a symbolic link to foo/bar on my home directory named bar2: $ ls -ld bar2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 Carlo None 7 Nov 9 08:47 bar2 - foo/bar Here's the problem: When I do a `cd bar2' and do an `ls -l ../', here's what I get: $ pwd /home/Carlo $ cd bar2 $ pwd /home/Carlo/bar2 $ ls -l ../ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 Carlo None 0 Nov 9 08:46 bar As you can see, it shows only `bar' (since ls obviously looks under /home/Carlo/foo) However, when I go inside bar2, and press the TAB after `ls -l ../', I get the contents of /home/Carlo: $ cd /home/Carlo $ pwd /home/Carlo $ cd bar2 $ pwd /home/Carlo/bar2 $ ls -l ../PRESSED THE TAB KEY HERE .addressbook desktop/ .addressbook.ludicom.txt.bak .aspell.en.prepl dicom_capture .bash_history foo/ .bash_profile fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz .bashrcidentity .cvspass index.html .ddd/ index.php In other words, the output of `ls -l ../ shows the contents of the directory relative to the target path of the symbolic link while `ls -l ../PRESSED TAB' shows the contents of the directory above the symbolic link. Which is incorrect, the output of `ls -l ../', or the output of `ls -l ../PRESSED TAB'? Thanks!

Re: ln, ls or readline problem?
Known problem. Cygwin takes a shortcut and treats name/.. as though it were a single ., which unfortunately is counter to posix when name was a symlink. The problem is that patching cygwin is likely to slow down the common case, so the cygwin developers have chosen speed over correctness for the moment on this issue. And I can't remember if this came up in that original thread but I see the same behavior as described by the OP on Linux (FC4). Then maybe my initial evaluation was a bit hasty - it looks like the OP is calling ls without any name before .., so it does not actually tickle the cygwin bug. To actually see the cygwin bug, note that on cygwin, ls bar2/.. does the same as ls ., whereas on Linux, it is the same as ls foo/bar/.. or ls foo. One other thing to remember - POSIX specifies that cd takes an optional argument -P or -L, but by default it uses -L. When you do cd -L bar2, the shell remembers that bar2 is a symlink on as part of the current logical directory name, and since readline is built into the shell, it treats an unqualified .. as relative to the logical directory during TAB completion. But ls is not allowed by POSIX to use logical directories, so ls .. behaves the same whether you did cd -L bar2 or cd -P bar2. Meanwhile, if you do cd -P bar2, then the shell will know that your physical location really is foo/bar, so that readline would then treat .. as relative to the physical directory just as ls does. So, I retract my earlier statement that this is a bug in cygwin, because in this particular case, you are seeing everything working as designed. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Inetd running slow
I had a problem of slowness with inetd and telnetd: when connecting with telnet to my machine (even locally) it took much time to prompt for the user name. I discovered that it was due to the SYSTEM user missing a home in /etc/passwd, i.e. when I had the problem the line in /etc/passwd was: SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:: then I fixed it this way: SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:/tmp: and the slowness went away (but don't ask me why: I don't know).
