[AC21.4] Auto detecting integer types and avoid using Motif for cygwin

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

Here is a patch for auto detecting integer types. The cygwin version has
the same problems as FreeBSD/NetBSD.

Also included is a patch which avoids using Motif for cygwin. This is
needed because the latest gcc-3.4.4 for cygwin seems to produce an
executable which runs fine but coredumps on every exit which is very annoying.

setup.exe window resizing

[Sam Steingold]

It is nice that the setup.exe window can now be resized, but it would be
even better if setup.exe remembered how it was resized last time and
started in my preferred size.
many applications do that, I see no reason for setup.exe not to.
thanks.

I intend to package and maintain naim, starting with
the most recent 0.11.8 release, which fixes the TOC/TOC2
issue present in the currently-packaged 0.11.7.2 version.

Since naim has no maintainer I'd like to step forward
to maintain this package.  Unless anyone objects I'll
produce a package and make it available for inclusion
shortly.

Hi,

I use Cygwin/X on my laptop all the time, and I often switch back and forth
between my XGA laptop display and an SXGA external monitor.  (I use
startxwin.bat to start the X server.)  What I find is that when I start xwin
while my laptop display is active, and then switch to the external monitor,
nothing displaying through X is visible on the bottom and right-hand sides of
the display.  I assume that this is because startxwin.bat detected my monitor
resolution as XGA and so configured its resolution as 1024x768, and doesn't
automatically resize when I switch displays.  I can fix this by closing the X
server and then restarting it, but then I have to close all my X clients too.

Is there a way to either (a) automatically start X with SXGA resolution, or
(b) manually resize X after I switch monitors, without restarting it?



(a) is possible -- you can pass screen size parameters to X.  For (b), see
if -multiplemonitors does the right thing; if not, you're out of luck.
Igor


Many thanks, I got (a) to work.  For reference, here is the command in 
my startxwin.bat that did the trick:

I can get SIGINT when user presses ctrl-c, but when the user

no signal handler is called. Neather SIGINT not SIGHUP. 
Maybe it is not possible to get any notification by cygwin

   According to exceptions.cc, a SIGHUP will be sent to bash in this
   case. Are you handling the right signal?
  
   BTW, the atexit() callback also should be called -- do you have a
   simple testcase to reproduce the problem?
   Igor
 
  I know nothing about signals, but this program when run inside bash does
  not seem to run callback() *ever*.
  ^c does not run it. Closing the bash window does not run it. But if you
  remove the loop then it *is* run.
 
  #include stdio.h
  void callback()
  {
   FILE *current;
 
   current=fopen(test.txt,a);
   fprintf(current,atexit);
  }
 
  int main()
  {
   atexit(*callback);
   while(1)
   {};
  }
 
 IIRC, the atexit callback is not supposed to be invoked from a default
 signal handler.  In fact, Cygwin defines a signal_exit specifically to
 avoid invoking it.  If you change the above to terminate on something
 other than a signal (e.g., a condition in the loop), your callback will be
 invoked.  Adding a signal handler that calls exit() should also cause the
 callback to be invoked.

Hi,

 a windows hook or such?

I was looking for such thing some time ago, and couldn't find any useful
hook. And
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dllproc/base/setconsolectrlhandler.asp  
says

« The system generates CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT, CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and
CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT signals when the user closes the console, logs off,
or shuts down the system so that the process has an opportunity to clean
up before termination [thanks to SetConsoleCtrlHandler()]. Console
functions, or any C run-time functions that call console functions,
may not work reliably during processing of any of the three signals
mentioned previously. The reason is that some or all of the internal
console cleanup routines may have been called before executing the
process signal handler. »

So when the handler is called, it might already be too late...

Cygwin sets winsup/cygwin/exceptions.cc:ctrl_c_handler() as control
handler, and in the CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT case, returns FALSE, i.e. let
windows terminate the process, even if the user set a signal handler for
SIGHUP. Maybe cygwin could return TRUE in such case, so as to give the
application a chance to detach from the console and continue running?

Samuel

Re: WINE on Cygwin

[Informações]

   Guys,

   Sorry for not getting involved with this discussion before.

   For those interested in more details about this topic, I included 
several good references in this message.


   I can think of many reasons why someone would want to run WINE under 
Cygwin and my reason, put shortly, is: GDI-X11. I did quite a research to 
identify all the issues related to this, and end up knowning that this 
sendmsg() limitation is a major one. I was really willing to start making 
things happen by getting more info on how to tackle this, but the discussion 
diverged to the rather philosophical why do this discussion. The only 
useful info I got from this thread was that this is still an issue, from 
Corinna.


   Can anyone point me to any reference covering the implementation of the 
missing sendmsg functionality (exchanging file descriptors across processes) 
? Any (incomplete) piece of code ? Any help ?


   My company has manifested a clear commitment to having this done, and 
I'm trying to do my best not to let this die again.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lynx-2.8.5-4

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of lynx to 2.8.5-4.

This updates Lynx to the official 2.8.5.rel5 patchlevel.  This release
contains the following security related patches:

* modify LYLoadCGI() to prompt user, displaying the command that would
  be executed, to confirm that it should be.  This makes it easier to
  notice when a local program would be run by activating a lynxcgi link.
  This is not done in advanced mode, since the URL is already visible in
  the status line (report by vade79, comments by Greg MacManus) -TD

* eliminate fixed-size buffers in HTrjis() and related functions to
  avoid potential buffer overflow in nntp pages (report by Ulf
  Harnhammar, CAN-2005-3120) -TD


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.

If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the
Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com.  I would appreciate
it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

Re:[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lynx-2.8.5-4

[Rodrigo Medina]

Hi,
llynx has an extrange and bothering behavior, that actually is not
exclusive of this last version:
If you call lynx  from a command window, when it returns it leaves the
terminal in a starnge status with 
no  echo.  In order to  recover the proper behavior of the terminal one has
to type (with no echo)
$ stty sane
I think that any program should  leave the terminal in its original state.

1.5.18-1: cannot start executables (except cygcheck.exe) on windows server 2003 web edition

[Eduard Witteveen]

When i double click on the Cygwin shortcut on the desktop a new window
pops up and after 2 seconds it hides again. Since i want to use cygwin,
i run start  cmd and i tried to lauch bash from the console:

C:\cygwin\binbash.exe --version

C:\cygwin\binbash.exe

C:\cygwin\bin


I also tried a few (maybe another also works) other executables with the
same result. Since i was working on a windows machine, i assumed that i
had to reboot the machine, but this didnt influence the results in any way

I also tried to see if the application needed the path in anyway or the
executable to be started with the current directory specification

C:\cygwin\binbash.exe

C:\cygwin\binset PATH=c:\cygwin\bin\

C:\cygwin\binbash

C:\cygwin\bin./bash

When i look in the taskmanager's processlist, i dont see any cygwin

Re: 1.5.18-1: cannot start executables (except cygcheck.exe) on windows server 2003 web edition

[Fabrizio Salvatore]

Hi Eduard,

I'm not sure I understand your problem, but in any event here's what I 
do (running cygwin on a WindowsXP laptop) to start the xterm and then a 
session on a different machine:


first, I have a shortcut on my desktop to:

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat

Once oyu double click on the shortcut, also in this case you'll have a 
window that pops-up and then disappears. That's fine, because you've 
simply opened your xterm from within windows.


In startxwin.bat I think I have only un-commented the following line:

run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs

After that I have created several shortcuts for an xterm window and also 
to connect to external Linux boxes:


C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn 7x14 -g 120x24 -si -sk -sb -fg black -bg 
white -T cygwin terminal Window -e /usr/bin/tcsh -l


C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -ls -si -sk -sb -fg white -bg blue -fn 7x14 -g 
120x24 -T lxplus.cern.ch -e ssh -X -Y -l mylogin mymachine.cern.ch


I hope this may help you.

Cheers,

Fab

Usually, you should leave Windows directories on your PATH, and just
append to it rather than replacing it.

- From cmd, you have to use Windows syntax to invoke a program (.\bash, not

True, though that would've been taken care of by the Windows-level

  Does 'bind -p | grep B' show anything for 'B'?
 
  Check your .inputrc for any bindings for B; then .bashrc and

Now, interestingly enough, a lone 'B' in .inputrc doesn't produce any key

bind -p lists all bindings, and every character that does not do a
special function should at least do self-insert.  If a key combination
is not bound, then it will not show up in bind -p.  Therefore, the
fact that bind -p | grep 'B' failed to produce output is a good
indication that 'B' is not bound, and it can be rectified by:
bind B:self-insert
(where you use the key sequence [ctrl-v][shift-B] to actually
put B in the command line).

True, but I couldn't resist answering.

(this is what I believe is the real fix since a perl -V showed

I rebuilt apache-1.33.3-2 using the included build script with the only 
difference that I installed in /usr/local/apache instead so as not to 
conflict with the distributed version. However I had to comment out
ssize_t_EXFUN(getline, (char **, size_t *, FILE *));  in 
/usr/include/sys/stdio.h or apache would not build (apache has its own 
getline). Don't know if this a problem with the snapshot or with my 
installation.


I built mod_perl-1.29 following the steps in the post from Harald Joerg 
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-08/msg00128.html).

RE: Making the command console stay on top

[Terry Dabbs]

 
I would like to thank you for your suggestions.

Just to clarify: I have checked out a number of the simple solutions:
WindowOnTop, AlwaysOnTop, LaunchOnTop, etc.,.
The problem with each of these is that it requires the operator to
physically select the window which is to remain on top, or with
LaunchOnTop, it doesn't work with the windows console window (The
command prompt). The point of this program is to have an operator at a
pc that controls a manufacturing operation to use a scanner, scan a
barcode, and the data they need shows up on the screen, with no other
interaction with the program (the dirt simple approach...), so I will
not make them fumble around with the mouse, which is required by the
above mentioned programs. They are quite nice for what they do, however.

The machines I am putting my application on, do not have cygwin
installed as a package. What I do is put the compiled exe file and the
cygwin1.dll only on the machine and use the windows console as the
display window, because all the windows machines have it. I can have
them start it with a short cut, and it requires zero support once it is
set up. Previous applications I have made in this way automatically
loaded the machine's programs for it, but this one requires the operator
to read the program output and then enter it in the main application
that covers the screen.

What I will do:
-Check out the run package and see what I can do with it.
-See what other window manipulations are possible with gcc libraries.
-Keep checking this mailing list for suggestions. This is one of the few
lists that actually produces *really good* information.

Terry 


original message:-
I have an application written and compiled using gcc and ncurses (for
the colors), in the cygwin environment. This application gets
information from a database, and displays it to an operator running a
machine telling them what program to input (among other things).

The problem is that when they go to enter the program name, the console
window immediately falls behind that of the application they are
entering the data into, and they can't read it.

I'm using a shortcut to start this, and the level of display of the
window is not one of the options. Does anyone (that will answer) know a
way to start this window with the attributes needed so it will not be
covered when another application is touched by the mouse?

Thanks,

Terry Dabbs

Somehow, your installation of bash has failed.  Rerun setup.exe,

Pandey, Sunil K wrote:

 However when I try to launch the same script with windows scheduler
via
 following command line it doesn't work.

That is because if you type /tmp/test.csh at the prompt, bash will ask
the system to execute the script and the #!/bin/csh line will be
honored.  It will also do this if you run it as bash -c /tmp/test.csh,
since that is by definition what the -c flag means.

But if you just run bash test.csh (which is what you are doing in you
cronjob) then bash will read the file itself and try to execute each
line as if it were a command.  This will also happen if you type source
test.csh or . test.csh.  And because you are using csh syntax, not
bourne shell syntax, you get unexpected results.

So what this all means is that if you want /bin/csh to execute your
script you need to invoke it as either bash -c /tmp/test.csh or csh
/tmp/test.csh.

None of this has anything to do with Cygwin.  You will find the exact
same behavior on any *nix.

Help with sshd on alternate port on XP

Edit /etc/sshd_config, just set Port to 8001.

Install sshd as a service following the documentation in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README.  This is the main part you are missing 
above.

cppunit problems

[angolero]

Hello to all, i installed cygwin version 2.457.2.2 in a windows xp, i install
g++, c++ gnu compiler and cppunit, the unitest freamwork for develop unitests
for cpp.
I create a very simple test, (but happens too with any sample code i can find),
the sample contain tree files, SimpleTest.h , SimpleTest.cpp, and run.cpp,
i compile this files to exe files with the next command:

g++ -Wall run.cpp SimpleTest.cpp -lcppunit -o all

and the compiler dont complain at hall, and of corse produce the exe file
all.exe

but When i run the file

./all.exe

i have the next mesage

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and in the directory i find a new file, all.exe.stackdump
in this file i find the next information:

I try, install cygwin again, and the problem persist, i try to run all the
examples in cppunit documentation, and the problem is the same, the code is
transformed to *.exe files, with no complain from the compiler but when i run
it i have the Segmentation fault (core dumped) message, when i debbug the
code, i find the problem arise when i call the method addTest(Test *test) from
the class TestRunner
i can call the method with diferent arguments and the problem is the same.

Some help please??, i really want to start coding my program, and is the first
time i try to create the tests first, and i start to feel impatient.

Thanks to all.

upgrade/add a single package

[beau]

Greetings,

I've looked at the user guide, I think I've got my /etc/setup properly
in place, but when I try to add a new package I end up getting
everything.  The only way I can see to stop this currently is to
manually set each package to keep in the package choosing window. 
All pointers appreciated.

The latest snapshot comments out the part of the code which sets the

It's a long shot but please try out the latest snapshot.

Testing will happen soon ...

Took a little longer, not to reproduce but to send, this time:

Ok.  Still hanging in the same place.

I've taken one more shot in the dark in the latest snapshot but I don't

I don't remember.  Did you ever confirm/deny that this problem happens

Don't know if you have solved this yet,  but there is a special build
that does indeed work.  
It is a version of tk800.025 with a patch.  I can't find it right now
but I found it with a bit of digging about 2 weeks ago.  There was a
tk800.024 for native win  and tk804.xx for X11.  they both seem to work
after the requesit playing with rebase

That is *not* the version of Cygwin, that is just the version of the
installer, and it tells us nothing useful.  Cygwin is a collection of
many packages and they each have a version number.  This is why we ask
for output of cygcheck -svr when reporting problems, which you did not
include.

 I create a very simple test, (but happens too with any sample code i can 
 find),
 the sample contain tree files, SimpleTest.h , SimpleTest.cpp, and run.cpp,
 i compile this files to exe files with the next command:

You haven't given enough information.  Without the source to this
testcase (or perhaps a stack trace with debugging info) the best anyone
could say would be you're doing something wrong.

RE: Making the command console stay on top

Thank you, Ehud!

You just saved me from writing a GUI that I didn't really have time to
do.
Yes, this one works on console windows, you can name the object you want
to float,
And limit it just to that, and it works if you start it before or after
the application.

Huh?  Normally there is no need to touch anything under /etc/setup at
all.

, but when I try to add a new package I end up getting
 everything.  The only way I can see to stop this currently is to
 manually set each package to keep in the package choosing window.

Put the radio button at the top to 'keep', then select whichever
individual package you want.

PerlTk under Cygwin?

[Jason Pearce]

I found this once:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=99645package_id=112046

I tried it back at version 800.025-2 , where both the X and native 
windows bindings worked. Well, to be honest I didn't use it much but I 
built some test cases with specTk and they ran OK. I was just satisfying 
a curiosity and I have not looked at it for some time. Hope it helps.

Well, obsolete or not, the tk800.025 for win32 from sourceforge is
building and working on 1.5.18  with it's perl5.8.5.  Any chance a

 non-obsolete version for win32 anytime? We use this native a lot.

804.x doesn't build for Win32, and as X11 was working with only a minor
patch and I didn't care either way, I decided to stop supporting Win32.
 You could take the source tarball from there and try recompiling with
the current perl and see how that works for you.

buffer overflow on cygwin vs solaris.

[Song Ken Vern-E11804]

Hi, 

I am working through some examples in the buffer overflow tutorial at 
http://www.wbglinks.net/pages/reads/wbgreads/bofs/bof07.html

One of the sample code used is this 

#include syslog.h

char buffer[4028];

void main() {

   int i;

   for (i=0; i=4028; i++)
   buffer[i]='A';

   syslog(LOG_ERR, buffer);
}

According to the tutorial, it should produced output
bash$ gcc -g buf.c -o buf
bash$ buf
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

However, on my cygwin installation, it does not core dump. 
bash$ gcc -g buf.c -o buf
bash$ buf
bash$

On Solaris, it does.

How do I get the core dump equivalent on cygwin installation? 

Thanks.

Wow.  That's some horrible code.  Hasn't this person heard of memset()?

 On Solaris, it does.

That's because you're trying to exploit a bug in Solaris.  Cygwin is not
Solaris.  It does not have this vulnerability.  This is a good thing. 
Ideally Cygwin (and any other library for that matter) would have zero
exploitable buffer overflows.  And even if it did, you most certainly
can't expect to use shellcode intended for Solaris under Cygwin.  They
aren't even remotely similar under the hood, so don't expect a single
thing on that page to work.  You'll need to use win32 shellcode
techniques.

If you want to play around with buffer overflows, I suggest that you
create your own buffer and overflow it.  And find a better guide.  There
are plenty of win32-oriented guides to overflowing buffers and executing
your code.

RE: PerlTk under Cygwin?

I've beaten my head against Perl/TK on Cygwin repeatedly over the years.  The
only way I succeeded was to use ActivePerl and keep it isolated from Cygwin --
basically, use the Cygwin environment for editing and use Command Prompt,
Windows Explorer, etc., to launch ActivePerl scripts.


HTH,

David

Oh I often work as a Clearcase administrator and Clearcase comes with 
it's own, ActiveState based Perl called ccperl. I've been using that 
develop a PerlTk based application. However I much prefer the Cygwin 
environment over a cmd prompt. ActiveState Perl doesn't handle windows 
that use ptys such as rxvt and so doing ccperl -d my PerlTk script 
does not work under rxvt. Also, that debugger doesn't seem to use 
ReadLine thus command history and editing in the Perl debugger is 
different, etc. Plus I'm not always at a place with Clearcase installed. 
I don't have Clearcase installed on my home computer, for example.


It would be good if PerlTk could work from Cygwin's Perl (and perhaps 
even have a package in Cygwin's setup.exe to install it or have it 
installed by default). At the very least PerlTk should be installable 
from CPAN and be able to be built/made so that it's usable.


After using PerlTk a little bit I'm finding that this PerlTk thing could 
be very useful to me as I've never gotten into the monolithic MS Visual 
Studio and C++ or C# way of building GUI apps. I'm much more comfortable 
in Perl...

Updated: lynx-2.8.5-4

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of lynx to 2.8.5-4.

This updates Lynx to the official 2.8.5.rel5 patchlevel.  This release
contains the following security related patches:

* modify LYLoadCGI() to prompt user, displaying the command that would
  be executed, to confirm that it should be.  This makes it easier to
  notice when a local program would be run by activating a lynxcgi link.
  This is not done in advanced mode, since the URL is already visible in
  the status line (report by vade79, comments by Greg MacManus) -TD

* eliminate fixed-size buffers in HTrjis() and related functions to
  avoid potential buffer overflow in nntp pages (report by Ulf
  Harnhammar, CAN-2005-3120) -TD


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.

If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the
Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com.  I would appreciate
it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
