If not, what scale of changes would be required to implement this ? What subsystems and libraries should be touched ? Yes, it's possible. AFAIU, that's what the xorg-x11-fscl package does (though possibly only with enclosed fonts). But perusing its structure and the postinstall script should prove instructive... 2. Is it possible to derive XKB settings from existing keyboard layout settings already done in Windows ? I.e., use the same layout set and switching rules as other Windows apps do ? If not, the question again is - what modules should be reworked, and to what extent ? Again, AFAIK, XWin.exe already does that -- and the previous maintainer, Alexander Gottwald, went to great lengths to keep the keyboard detection tables as complete as possible -- search the archives of cygwin-xfree for keyboard. If you have a keyboard layout that isn't automatically detected, it needs to be added to the table -- again, the archives should also contain the procedure for reporting such layouts; perhaps the current Cygwin/X maintainer will be able to integrate the new layout into the code. Thank you in advance for your replies. I think these changes could be useful for users and make Cygwin/X more natively-lookingbehaving Windows application. Btw, rootless mode is great ! You've heard of -multiwindow, right? That's as native as it gets. :-) If it proved to be implementable, these font/xkb integrations should be as well.

Yes, because the diffutils project is trying to incorporate patch in order to share code (remember when sh-utils, fileutils, and textutils joined to make coreutils?). Also from what i can tell: Nothing from ftp://alpha.gnu.org is or has ever been offical. It houses development snapshots. Note that the above may be incorect, but it is the best I am able to figure out. Yes, projects on alpha.gnu.org are considered development releases, but they are often good enough to use. For example, if you are using cygwin right now, you are either using coreutils 5.3.0 (only published on alpha.gnu.org), or the stable coreutils 5.93 but a cygwin snapshot; either way, you have a development release on your machine.

That's why it complains about not being able to find cc1. If you're not using --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs that will probably also be required. And I wouldn't be surprised if you had to do some patching of the specs file in order to get it fully working. This option is more of a Cygwin-specific patch, I am not sure whether it is fully supported by the upstream FSF sources. To get an idea how it works, look at the current gcc specs file and layout of the gcc and gcc-mingw packages, and their source tarballs. But I don't understand why you're building a cygwin targeted gcc yourself if you intend to always run in mingw mode - just build a mingw gcc if that's what you want.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated [experimental]: coreutils-5.93-2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
A new release of coreutils, 5.93-2, is available for experimental use.
NEWS:
=
I've uploaded a test version of coreutils, 5.93-2. This is a new, stable
upstream release, with a number of changes from 5.3.0. However, this
build depends on features that have been added to cygwin since
cygwin-1.5.18-1 (such as getline, futimes, and O_DIRECT), so I am leaving
5.3.0-9 as current until cygwin-1.5.19 is released. To use this release,
you MUST install a recent snapshot of cygwin (20051214 or later). If you
don't know what this means, then stick with 5.3.0-9. A list of changes
from the NEWS file appears below; see also /usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.93/.
This version also has a new cygwin-specific --append-exe option to ls(1)
(and dir, vdir) and stat(1); if a command-line argument does not have
.exe, but the file on the system does, then using this option will make
the listing show the .exe. I found this addition to my ~/.bashrc useful
to use the new options (the spacing is chosen so that bash doesn't treat
the next word on the command line as an alias):
ls --append-exe -d . /dev/null 21 append_exe=' --append-exe'
alias ls=ls {your favorite options here}$append_exe
alias stat=stat$append_exe
unset append_exe
Previous experimental versions have been available, unannounced; if you
were using 5.93-1, the only change is that dd(1) now uses the cygwin
snapshot's capability to open files with O_DIRECT for unbuffered access.
Note that su(1) is UNSUPPORTED; for more details, see
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC42.
DESCRIPTION:
GNU coreutils provides a collection of commonly used utilities essential
to a standard POSIX environment. It comprises the former textutils,
sh-utils, and fileutils packages. The following executables are included:
[ basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd
df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold
gkill groups head hostid hostname id install join link ln logname ls
md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr
printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm rmdir seq sha1sum shred sleep sort
split stat stty sum sync tac tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname
unexpand uniq unlink users vdir wc who whoami yes
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, then look for
'coreutils' in the 'Base' category (it should already be selected).
Since this is an experimental release, you must first install a recent
cygwin snapshot, and you will have to use the Exp radio button in setup.exe.

* Major changes in release 5.93 (2005-11-06) [stable]
** Bug fixes
dircolors no longer segfaults upon an attempt to use the new
STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE (OWT) attribute
du no longer overflows a counter when processing a file larger than
2^31-1 on some 32-bit systems (at least some AIX 5.1 configurations).
md5sum once again defaults to using the ` ' non-binary marker
(rather than the `*' binary marker) by default on Unix-like systems.
mkdir -p and install -d no longer exit nonzero when asked to create
a directory like `nonexistent/.'
rm emits a better diagnostic when (without -r) it fails to remove
a directory on e.g., Solaris 9/10 systems.
tac now works when stdin is a tty, even on non-Linux systems
tail -c 2 FILE and touch 010100 now operate as POSIX
1003.1-2001 requires, even when coreutils is conforming to older
POSIX standards, as the newly-required behavior is upward-compatible
with the old.
** Build-related bug fixes
installing .mo files would fail
* Major changes in release 5.92 (2005-10-22) [stable]
** Bug fixes
chmod now diagnoses an invalid mode string starting with an octal digit
dircolors now properly quotes single-quote characters
* Major changes in release 5.91 (2005-10-17) [stable candidate]
** Bug fixes
mkdir -p /a/b/c no longer fails merely because a leading prefix
directory (e.g., /a or /a/b) exists on a read-only file system.
** Removed options
tail's --allow-missing option has been removed.

Note that when you use gcc -mno-cygwin your search paths will be modified so that no Cygwin libraries/headers will be found, instead the mingw ones will be searched (/usr/include/mingw, /usr/lib/mingw). Essentially this is just a shortcut for compiling with the mingw toolchain under Cygwin - do not get confused and think that this somehow lets you use Cygwin library functions in any shape or form. If you use mingw or -mno-cygwin, you are essentially programming directly at the win32 API and the MSVCRT, you have no unix emulation at all other than what is provided by the microsoft C library. Thanks Brian, now -mwindows is clear to me, and the strange linker problem has gone, but I have one more question on -mno-cygwin option. When I installed the latest release of Cygwin I found gcc 3.4.4 in its packages, which I installed as well; and if I use it with the -mno-cygwin option when compiling everything's allright. But then I downloaded the gcc 4.0.2 sources, which I compiled in Cygwin with the old gcc provided, so now I have a second version of gcc currently working. The problem is that this version has some problem with the -mno-cygwin option; if I use it when compiling I get the error message: gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1': No such file or directory. Do you think that this is a CygWin's configuration problem or a gcc one? -mno-cygwin is supported by cygwin-special patches to standard gcc. This is among the obstacles to keeping cygwin up to date with respect to gcc. mingw appears more difficult to support anyway, judging by the results (rarely) posted to gcc-testsuites. AFAIK, there are no cygwin-special patches related to -mno-cygwin in the cygwin distribution version of gcc. I spent some time on getting this more-or-less working a few years ago and I checked in everything I had. If there are patches, then Gerrit should submit them and we'll work towards getting them approved. cgf -- 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: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated [experimental]: coreutils-5.93-2 [attn base-files maintainer]
A new release of coreutils, 5.93-2, is available for experimental use. dircolors now supports SETUID, SETGID, STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE, OTHER_WRITABLE, and STICKY, with ls providing default colors for these categories if not specified by dircolors. Just a heads-up to the base-files maintainer - when cygwin-1.5.19 is released, you will need to update /etc/defaults/etc/DIR_COLORS to incorporate the new features available in dircolors 5.93. I would suggest using 'dircolors -p DIR_COLORS' as a starting point. But don't update until coreutils-5.93-2 is moved out of test into current, because dircolors 5.3.0 chokes on the new keywords. -- Eric Blake ---BeginMessage--- * Major changes in release 5.93 (2005-11-06) [stable] ** Bug fixes dircolors no longer segfaults upon an attempt to use the new STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE (OWT) attribute du no longer overflows a counter when processing a file larger than 2^31-1 on some 32-bit systems (at least some AIX 5.1 configurations). md5sum once again defaults to using the ` ' non-binary marker (rather than the `*' binary marker) by default on Unix-like systems. mkdir -p and install -d no longer exit nonzero when asked to create a directory like `nonexistent/.' rm emits a better diagnostic when (without -r) it fails to remove a directory on e.g., Solaris 9/10 systems. tac now works when stdin is a tty, even on non-Linux systems tail -c 2 FILE and touch 010100 now operate as POSIX 1003.1-2001 requires, even when coreutils is conforming to older POSIX standards, as the newly-required behavior is upward-compatible with the old. ** Build-related bug fixes installing .mo files would fail * Major changes in release 5.92 (2005-10-22) [stable] ** Bug fixes chmod now diagnoses an invalid mode string starting with an octal digit dircolors now properly quotes single-quote characters * Major changes in release 5.91 (2005-10-17) [stable candidate] ** Bug fixes mkdir -p /a/b/c no longer fails merely because a leading prefix directory (e.g., /a or /a/b) exists on a read-only file system. ** Removed options tail's --allow-missing option has been removed.

It's clear that both ActivePerl and IBM Rational's ccperl (which is based off of ActiveState Perl BTW) can do it therefore that's the exact prove that it's possible - isn't it? Almost anything is possible with the right amount of effort and know-how. The point is that there is significant work to get this to work right in the Cygwin environment.

I have updated the version of vim on cygwin.com to 6.4-3. This version contains a fixed xxd, which does not create the text output files always using CRLF line endings anymore, but rather honors the mount mode (text/binary) of the underlying mount point, the output file is written to. Output to stdout is now always using LF line endings. 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.

We've had over two decades to get used to these new-fangled CRLF endings, we should be able to cope by now!

Vorbisfile and gdb
It seems that running any program linked with vorbisfile in gdb causes gdb to
hang immediately at the beginning of the program, even before reaching main().
Note, everything works fine outside the debugger!
I've simplified it to a very basic sanity check:
#include stdio.h
extern int ov_open;
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
printf (ov_open is 0x%08x\n, ov_open);
return 0;
}
And here's the test:
$ gcc -g -o blah.exe blah.c $(pkg-config --cflags vorbisfile) $(pkg-config
--libs vorbisfile)
$ ./blah
ov_open is 0x004010a0
$ gdb blah.exe

(gdb) b mainCRTStartup
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401006
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/wjl/projects/test/blah.exe
-- GDB and Blah.exe both hang at this point.
It seems that the mere presence of any symbol from vorbisfile, anywhere in the
program, causes gdb to hang at the beginning of the program. Does anyone
else's gdb have the same behaviour? If this is a widespread problem, I suppose
it is a bug in gdb. Please verify.
Thanks

Patch and Cygwin
This is a summary of my tests with Cygwin patch and different line ending styles. (Only LF and CRLF are tested here.) I have downloaded patch 2.5.9 from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/patch-2.5.9.tar.gz and compiled it using Cygwin. I have used this patch and the patch that currently comes with Cygwin to do some tests of patch and diff when the files to compare and patch have different line ending styles. I have also made this test using MSYS and GnuWin32 utilities. The result is that the only option that seems to be able to handle the mix of line endings is Cygwin using DOS line endings with patch 2.5.9. (The only thing that did not work was preservation of line endings in the patched file, but that seems to be a small problem here.)

Updated [experimental]: coreutils-5.93-2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
A new release of coreutils, 5.93-2, is available for experimental use.
NEWS:
=
I've uploaded a test version of coreutils, 5.93-2. This is a new, stable
upstream release, with a number of changes from 5.3.0. However, this
build depends on features that have been added to cygwin since
cygwin-1.5.18-1 (such as getline, futimes, and O_DIRECT), so I am leaving
5.3.0-9 as current until cygwin-1.5.19 is released. To use this release,
you MUST install a recent snapshot of cygwin (20051214 or later). If you
don't know what this means, then stick with 5.3.0-9. A list of changes
from the NEWS file appears below; see also /usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.93/.
This version also has a new cygwin-specific --append-exe option to ls(1)
(and dir, vdir) and stat(1); if a command-line argument does not have
.exe, but the file on the system does, then using this option will make
the listing show the .exe. I found this addition to my ~/.bashrc useful
to use the new options (the spacing is chosen so that bash doesn't treat
the next word on the command line as an alias):
ls --append-exe -d . /dev/null 21 append_exe=' --append-exe'
alias ls=ls {your favorite options here}$append_exe
alias stat=stat$append_exe
unset append_exe
Previous experimental versions have been available, unannounced; if you
were using 5.93-1, the only change is that dd(1) now uses the cygwin
snapshot's capability to open files with O_DIRECT for unbuffered access.
Note that su(1) is UNSUPPORTED; for more details, see
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC42.
DESCRIPTION:
GNU coreutils provides a collection of commonly used utilities essential
to a standard POSIX environment. It comprises the former textutils,
sh-utils, and fileutils packages. The following executables are included:
[ basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd
df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold
gkill groups head hostid hostname id install join link ln logname ls
md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr
printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm rmdir seq sha1sum shred sleep sort
split stat stty sum sync tac tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname
unexpand uniq unlink users vdir wc who whoami yes
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, then look for
'coreutils' in the 'Base' category (it should already be selected).
Since this is an experimental release, you must first install a recent
cygwin snapshot, and you will have to use the Exp radio button in setup.exe.
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:

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

* Major changes in release 5.93 (2005-11-06) [stable]
** Bug fixes
dircolors no longer segfaults upon an attempt to use the new
STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE (OWT) attribute
du no longer overflows a counter when processing a file larger than
2^31-1 on some 32-bit systems (at least some AIX 5.1 configurations).
md5sum once again defaults to using the ` ' non-binary marker
(rather than the `*' binary marker) by default on Unix-like systems.
mkdir -p and install -d no longer exit nonzero when asked to create
a directory like `nonexistent/.'
rm emits a better diagnostic when (without -r) it fails to remove
a directory on e.g., Solaris 9/10 systems.
tac now works when stdin is a tty, even on non-Linux systems
tail -c 2 FILE and touch 010100 now operate as POSIX
1003.1-2001 requires, even when coreutils is conforming to older
POSIX standards, as the newly-required behavior is upward-compatible
with the old.
** Build-related bug fixes
installing .mo files would fail
* Major changes in release 5.92 (2005-10-22) [stable]
** Bug fixes
chmod now diagnoses an invalid mode string starting with an octal digit
dircolors now properly quotes single-quote characters
* Major changes in release 5.91 (2005-10-17) [stable candidate]
** Bug fixes
mkdir -p /a/b/c no longer fails merely because a leading prefix
directory (e.g., /a or /a/b) exists on a read-only file system.
** Removed options
tail's --allow-missing option has been removed.
Updated: vim-6.4-3
I have updated the version of vim on cygwin.com to 6.4-3. This version contains a fixed xxd, which does not create the text output files always using CRLF line endings anymore, but rather honors the mount mode (text/binary) of the underlying mount point, the output file is written to. Output to stdout is now always using LF line endings. 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. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.
