You seem to be posting to the wrong list. Unless it's a X11-related question, it belongs on cygwin (at) cygwin.com not here. It's not clear why you're running dselect. You can't install packages that way on Cygwin -- the only way to do this is with the graphical setup.exe tool. Normally on *nix that error means that you are trying to run dselect as someone other than root, which means that you won't be able to make any changes. So on a *nix system you would just su to root or use sudo. But Cygwin doesn't work that way, so don't even bother trying. I'm not entirely sure why dselect is even included in the Cygwin dpkg package. It can't possibly serve any purpose.

Plotting from Python on Cygwin/X
My team has begun development of a new project to be written in Python. One of our requirements is that we be able to generate some relatively simple plots and save them in PNG or JPEG format. I've looked at three possibilities so far and encountered problems with all of them. I started by looking at gplt from SciPy (version 0.3.2), but as far as we've been able to determine, it is lacking some of the features we need, especially the ability to do multiplot. I next took a look at Gnuplot-py. It installed easily, but the provided demo failed to run. I may try to resolve the problem if I find time, but for now, I hesitate to spend much more time on it if the demos won't run. The third package I've looked at so far is matplotlib. We might be able to get by for awhile without a GUI agg backend, but I don't want to put myself in that corner. But GTKAgg depends on pygtk, which I've been unable to compile (I tried version 2.6.3 since Cygwin appears to use glib v.2.6.6), and using TkAgg fails to build when it tries to load Tk84.dll. Has anyone gotten one of these to work or found another package that works? Thanks. J.

In summary, the following hangs any time the the latest version of ZoneAlarm Suite is installed: ssh -X target Note that -Y can be used in place of -X as can the options ForwardX11 or ForwardX11Trusted in the ssh_config file. The hang is on the client running xauth via popen, details can be found in the original posting. ssh -R 6001:localhost:6000 target password: Last Login blah, blah,... $ export DISPLAY=localhost:1 $ xclock $ Not nearly as clean as having ssh perform the setup, but it does work.

This uses LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress instead of -lwininet so that systems
lacking IE3 can still run cygcheck. Tested on XP and NT4, and verified that
with WININET.DLL renamed cygcheck can still function.

* cygcheck.cc (pInternetCloseHandle): Define global function pointer.

I managed to use the 1.5.19 socket header while linking the inetutils package against Cygwin 1.5.18 which added up to the described effect. Oh well, I have uploaded a new inetutils package built with the 1.5.18 headers now. However, you should still see an error in the above case, just a different one: % ftp ibiblio.org ftp: setsockopt TOS (ignored): Invalid parameter This is a result of newer Windows versions not simply ignoring the IP_TOS setting, but instead returning an error WSAEINVAL. I applied a fix to Cygwin which now ignores the retun code of setting IP_TOS on Windows 2000 and above. It's a no-op by default anyway.

My question is: what are the settings required by cygwin to operate normally? ( i guess it needs some environment variables and/or registry settings ). Is it just the mount points that are the issue? The path? The desktop icon? It is possible to run setup against such an 'installation' to update it? On a related note, it is possible to 'prime' setup with additional packages to select by default.

See Corinna's message in this thread for recreating them. The desktop start menu icons are obviously not going to be present with this method, but that's not really an issue. It should be noted that cygwin.bat has a full path in it, so this would need editing. Yes, you could run setup with this - it is, for all intents and purposes, the installation you made with setup on the other machine. Setup doesn't care that it's now on a different machine. None of what it does is machine-specific. On a related note, it is possible to 'prime' setup with additional packages to select by default. That is whenever I install cygwin, there are about 1/2 dozen packages I always manually select, it would be helpful to have an automated way to doing this. Quoting Igor Peshansky: 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).

When I run dselect in an cygwin bash shell, I get the following message read-only access: only preview of selections is available. Is this covered in the documentation? If not, how do I fix it? You seem to be posting to the wrong list. Unless it's a X11-related question, it belongs on cygwin (at) cygwin.com not here. It's not clear why you're running dselect. You can't install packages that way on Cygwin -- the only way to do this is with the graphical setup.exe tool. Normally on *nix that error means that you are trying to run dselect as someone other than root, which means that you won't be able to make any changes. So on a *nix system you would just su to root or use sudo. But Cygwin doesn't work that way, so don't even bother trying. I'm not entirely sure why dselect is even included in the Cygwin dpkg package. It can't possibly serve any purpose.

Re: Define _POSIX_SOURCE in cygwin's features.h?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Christopher Faylor on 1/12/2006 10:31 AM: Someone on the cygwin irc channel had a problem building a package which would have been solved if Cygwin defined _POSIX_SOURCE. I know that Cygwin is not fully POSIX compliant (I really really do) but I'm wondering if setting _POSIX_SOURCE in the cygwin headers wouldn't solve more porting problems than it creates. Any opinions on this? Eric? Well, since you asked me (what, am I now the POSIX guru?), POSIX has this to say about it: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_02.html It is the responsibility of a POSIX-conformant app to define _POSIX_SOURCE to 1 if they want compliance with the 1992 version of POSIX.1, or to define _POSIX_C_SOURCE to 200112L if they want compliance with the 2001 version of POSIX. The definition must occur in the application's file before the inclusion of any standard header. By defining _POSIX*SOURCE, the application is specifically requesting that all namespace variables required or reserved by POSIX are visible, and no functions not required by POSIX and not in a reserved namespace are hidden, unless additional feature macros were also defined. (For example, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 is an additional feature macro to pull in the X headers.) In fact, POSIX states that defining only _XOPEN_SOURCE=600 is good enough that the system headers should then turn on _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L. Now what does this all mean to cygwin? Most apps don't care about strict compliance - they are more than willing to use extensions if it makes it easier to get the job done, so most apps don't define _POSIX_SOURCE or _POSIX_C_SOURCE before including headers. I agree with Samuel's conclusion - we can use the Linux trick of having a default configuration of gcc that turns on _GNU_SOURCE (itself a feature test, that turns on all other extensions), provided that gcc can also be told to be strictly compliant to a given standard (gcc's -ansi flag, among others). Then, when _GNU_SOURCE is defined, cygwin can also define _POSIX_SOURCE under the hood to allow developers to be lazy and not explicitly define it themselves when they don't care about strict compliance. In other words, the goal should be that unless the user EXPLICITLY asked for a certain namespace, by defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE themselves, we might as well be generous and give them everything. P.S. I know that Cygwin isn't fully compliant with POSIX specifications. One other thing to be aware of. If cygwin does define _POSIX2_VERSION in its headers, programs will assume that all features specified by POSIX are available. Coreutils, in particular, makes a compile-time decision about the default behavior of some of its apps, based on the value of _POSIX2_VERSION (of course, this decision is overridable at runtime by redefining _POSIX2_VERSION in the environment). An example of this would be that right now on cygwin, with coreutils 5.93, tail +4 defaults to the 1992 POSIX semantics of tail -n +4, because _POSIX2_VERSION was not detected at configure time. But if you start adding _POSIX* macros to features.h, to be more like Linux, and choose to move to the 2001 version of POSIX, then a recompilation of tail +4 would default to the semantics of tail ./+4. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

Re: Define _POSIX_SOURCE in cygwin's features.h?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Christopher Faylor on 1/12/2006 12:24 PM: This particular application was ircd. It was testing _POSIX_SOURCE (and a few other defines) to determine whether it should use setsid or a two-argument version of setpgrp, e.g.: #ifdef _POSIX_SOURCE setsid (); #else setpgr(..., ...); #endif That is a bug in ircd. It is ircd's responsibility to define _POSIX_SOURCE itself if it wants strict POSIX compliance. In other words, if ircd wants to guarantee that it will compile on all POSIX-compliant systems, it should have defined _POSIX_SOURCE and then it could blindly use setsid() without any further heartburn. But it is possible to be portable to more systems than just those that are POSIX-compliant, so the better approach for ircd would have been to do an autoconf test for the existance of setsid, whether or not _POSIX_SOURCE was defined, and not a test for the existance of _POSIX_SOURCE. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

Thank you for your feedback. I was just going to silently digest this but I can't let this particular one slide. I don't see how you credit *Samuel* with any conclusions other than the one that anyone who used _POSIX_SOURCE in source code was stupid and that I needed to read a book on posix. After making those observations for a couple of paragraphs he quoted a snippet of a header file that *I* included and said Well, that's ok then. I'm glad to have his permission on this, though. So, let me state a few things: 0) It is cygwin's goal to emulate linux (as per the cygwin web page). 1) linux defines _POSIX_SOURCE by default unless specific gcc command line options are specified (as per the code snippet that I posted). 2) I want cygwin to be *more* like linux (as per my repeated assertions in this thread and elsewhere). 3) The fact that the cygwin header files are currently inconsistent, and probably wrong, wrt _POSIX_SOURCE does not preclude fixing them to make them more like linux. Conclusion: newlib's headers are not close enough to glibc headers and that is what is causing people problems. Task for 1.5.20: Make cygwin's header files more like the linux header files. I'm sorry that my goals here were not clearer from my original message.

cd to directory in paste buffer : shell function
Hi,
I often want to cd to a (DOS) path that I've copied from some Windows App.
The following function (put in one of your startup files .bashrc .profile etc)
saves a few clicks
and is forward or backslash proof
function cdp()
{
# cdp(aste)
# description : Cd to path in paste buffer: convert from DOS if required
# set -x
getclip
echo ''
getclip|sed 's#\\#\/#g'|putclip
cd $(getclip)
}
I can already see a few improvements, and it would also be nice to have a check
that paste buffer
actually contains a path

Re: ZoneAlarm Suite popen hang (ssh ForwardX11)
[snip] Other than the usual issues with bash and sshd, I suddenly found that trying to use ssh with X forwarding hung.

In summary, the following hangs any time the the latest version of ZoneAlarm Suite is installed: ssh -X target Note that -Y can be used in place of -X as can the options ForwardX11 or ForwardX11Trusted in the ssh_config file.

fenv.h and friends
I'm trying to compile NumPy [1], and am running into a problem: I'm getting undefined references to fetestexcept, feclearexcept, and feraisexcept. These are normally defined in fenv.h. Now, Cygwin doesn't come with a fenv.h; there *is* one in /usr/include/mingw (and a matching definition in /usr/lib/mingw/libminwex.a), but something tells me that linking a MinGW runtime library into an otherwise-Cygwin program will cause more problems than it'll solve.

Re: once more into the breach - please try a snapshot so I can release this thing
Although a cygwin package maintainer, I am a complete novice at debugging cygwin programs, so please bear with me. The current cygwin1.dll snapshot (2006.01.12) causes octave (a package I maintain) to dump core under some circumstances. I haven't been able to isolate just what causes it. When this happens, I get the following error message _on_exit_ : === octave:3 exit Aborted (core dumped) === This causes octave to write an octave-core file, which apparently is not something gdb understands, but is a binary file that octave can load to restart a computation. I take the core dump error message to have originated in octave, rather than cygwin. In order to further investigate this, I tried gdb, with the following results: === $ gdb -q /usr/bin/octave (no debugging symbols found) (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/octave.exe Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x610ae8d8 in pthread_key_create () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (gdb) === I interpret this to mean a segfault has occurred even prior to any computations. This surprises me because if I don't use gdb, I can apparently load and exit octave, doing no computations between load and exit, without any aborts, segfaults, or obvious error messages. Advice on where to go from here in debugging the problem would be appreciated.

I think it is one of the bin utils. Since someone recently explained that cygwin so files are the same as dll files, can I infer that the same technique works for converting so files to LIB files? I think here you are referring to an *import* library, or what dlltool seems to call and *interface* library. You certainly can't create a static library from an existing dynamic libray, but you can create an import library from a dynamic library. Check the documentation of dlltool, which can create the .lib file from a .def file. Or just use -Wl,--out-implib when building the DLL and you will get an import library (.a) for it, which you can just rename to .lib. If all you have is the dll you can use 'pexports' to create a .def file and then dlltool to create the import library. You may even be able to do this in one step with dlltool, I'm not sure.

Re: once more into the breach - please try a snapshot so I canrelease this thing
On Fri, 13 Jan 2006, James R. Phillips wrote: Although a cygwin package maintainer, I am a complete novice at debugging cygwin programs, so please bear with me. The current cygwin1.dll snapshot (2006.01.12) causes octave (a package I maintain) to dump core under some circumstances. I haven't been able to isolate just what causes it. When this happens, I get the following error message _on_exit_ : === octave:3 exit Aborted (core dumped) === This causes octave to write an octave-core file, which apparently is not something gdb understands, but is a binary file that octave can load to restart a computation. I take the core dump error message to have originated in octave, rather than cygwin. In order to further investigate this, I tried gdb, with the following results: === $ gdb -q /usr/bin/octave (no debugging symbols found) FWIW, you might want to download the cygwin1.dbg file associated with the snapshot. Assuming you save it in /tmp, at this point you'd issue the command (gdb) dll-symbols /tmp/cygwin1.dbg to load the debugging symbols. If you've already downloaded the .dbg file, please ignore this. (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/octave.exe Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x610ae8d8 in pthread_key_create () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (gdb) === I interpret this to mean a segfault has occurred even prior to any computations. This surprises me because if I don't use gdb, I can apparently load and exit octave, doing no computations between load and exit, without any aborts, segfaults, or obvious error messages.

Re: Installing cygwin by manually copying c:\cygwin to another machine

You could /potentially/ have a permissions problem if you copy the folder as a user and for whatever reason permissions are not inherited that allow other users to utilise cygwin, but if this is the case then you're already running a non-standard setup, and should know enough about it to avoid this problem.

Re: Installing cygwin by manually copying c:\cygwin to another machine
[snip] Not particularly, assuming you use the same local package cache on each machine, especially if you use the trick for pulling in all the packages you want automatically. Right. I don't know about chere, chere must have settings in the registry, as it adds a 'bash here' menu option in explorer when you right click on a directory. You'd have to run 'chere -i' on the new system. That means that setup, services like sshd, cron, inetd, etcetera will be available for installation. Right, available for installation, you'd have to run the setup scripts. I suppose running ssh-host-config wouldn't be a bad idea, not only would it install the Windows sshd service on the new system, but it would generate unique host keys, otherwise both the new and old systems would have the same key.

stat(2) triggers on-demand virus scan

Re: procedure entry point getline could not be located
What further steps can I take to try and fix the error The procedure entry point getline could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll? Although you did extensive research, you failed to realize that providing the output of cygcheck -svr is essential to helping us determine your problem. However, my guess is as follows: You are probably running cygwin 1.5.18 and tried the experimental findutils 4.2.27-1. This won't work. Findutils 4.2.27 is experimental for a reason - it depends on getline(), which cygwin1.dll did not provide until in the snapshots following 1.5.18. To fix the problem, either downgrade findutils back to the stable 4.2.25-2, or upgrade cygwin to a current snapshot (see earlier threads from this week for instructions on installing a snapshot). -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin findutils maintainer -- 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: procedure entry point getline could not be located
In my case, the following fix worked: - delete all files from the local install directory e.g. ftp%22%3A%2F%2F%somemirror-filefolder.com - run setup, select All, then click the arrow switch to cycle through actions. Keep - Install - until Uninstall is displayed. Follow wizard until Uninstall is complete. - verify absence of cygwin1.dll (click desktop icon, get error) - run setup.exe again, with Defaults Cygwin runs, with just the basics. Find and startup work without the getline error. Now, let's see if I can add more than the basic defaults without horking it up... - reboot - run setup.exe - choose a mirror - make a zillion selections - let the installer run It works now! I don't know which of these actions fixed the installation. Maybe one of the ini files in the install directory had a bad combination of versions. I'm sure I did not pick the exact same set of packages to install. I did not remove the exes and other files left behind after the uninstall. ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- 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/
