how to create static library in cygwin

[cxf]

Hello, everyone:
   I compile source files, create a dll file "cygtspi.dll" , an import 
file "libtspi.dll.a" and a link file "libtspi.la",How can I use the dll 
in windows(such as using the dll in VC). the "cygtspi.dll" seems depends 
on several cygwin's dll.
   Another question: How can I create the static library, So I can use 
the static library only( such that can import the static library in VC) 
,not using the dll.

It's a snapshot ().
It'll also be in 1.5.20, whenever that comes out.

updwtmpx

[Luis P Caamano]

The latest gnome-terminal, which works nicely btw, complaints before
first start that it cannot find updwtmpx in cygwin1.dll.  I see that
it was added back in February but I can't figure out which version
includes it.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.cvs/2345/match=updwtmpx+cygwin

Perhaps it's in an experimental version?

Yes, certainly.  Please avail yourself of the existing
Cygwin resources found at www.cygwin.com.  For specific
information on building DLLs, see the proper section in
the Cygwin User's Guide:




>Can cygwin create static library(.lib file)?


Of course.  By default, it's named libfoo.a but the format
is the same and can be named however you want.

Applying the patch reported in

the problem!

On my system, mkdirhier is just a shell script. The program "mkdir"
has an option "-p" that seems to do exactly what mkdirhier does.
Perhaps mkdirhier needs to be retired.

Of course. As you surmised, these two are *NOT* the same. The literal

Unlike on linux, "mount" is not modifying the kernel layer below to 
create a file system linkage - it's all in the emulation layer for 
open() in cygwin1.dll..


You can't cd to "/" using a native win32 shell, for instance, and see

Before running ssh-host-config I did:

add ntsec as the variable value
- Under System Variables, scroll down to Path, click Edit, add
;c:\cygwin\bin to the end of the string already in the field

Then opened Cygwin on the desktop, ran ssh-host-config and entered:

Should I have done anything different there on W2003 ?


Depends on what you need.  If you need to get output from non-Cygwin
executables, then you'll need to re-install the service with "nontsec"
instead.  But this is notably less secure.  There should be no need to
do this if you're simply dealing with Cygwin utilities though.

My guess is the one that was listed in one of the earlier replies,
namely, to confirm that you have created the required special accounts
required for running a Cygwin ssh service on Windows 2K+.  Normally,
'ssh-host-config' will have done this for you, or will have prompted
you for permission to do it.  Consider posting your /etc/passwd,
/etc/group,
and /etc/sshd_config files (as attachments) to the Cygwin mailing list.
Someone may see a problem with your configuration.

For what it's worth, I used your test program, 'ipconfig', to check the
cygwin sshd behavior on three W2003 servers.  All three worked as
expected,
with the output of ipconfig displayed in my rxvt terminal window.

Also, I am assuming that you are able to start an ssh client on your
RHEL
server and successfully connect to your W2003 server, and can run the
'ipconfig' command with the expected results when run interactively.

Nicolas,

  I should point out that the device node handling in the NFS server
isn't as good as it should be :-/  If you export a directory from Cygwin
using the NFS server, mount it on an Linux system, and then create a
device node on the NFS mount from the Linux system... well, that's just
plain broken.

  Translation of device node major/minor numbers *does* work properly if
the device node is created under Cygwin and then exported via NFS,
though.  So if you're going to create device nodes for a Linux root file
system, you'll want to create those under Cygwin, instead of from the
system where you mount the NFS export.

Most of the above is irrelevant.  This sounds like a bug in mkdirhier, and
I also seem to recall that it was mentioned on the Cygwin lists before,
with proposed fixes.  Apparently, the fixes haven't been incorporated in
6.8.99.901-1.

Googling for "mkdirhier site:cygwin.com inurl:ml/cygwin" should turn up
the fixes you need.
HTH,
Igor

You'll be surprised, but on 2K3 the SYSTEM account still has all the
rights it has on previous systems.

The sad fact on 2K3 is that the SYSTEM account gets revoked the
SeCreateTokenName privilege *unconditionally* as soon as a service is
running under that account.  Unfortunately this is the privilege
necessary to allow password-less logins.

Whatever you do to the SYSTEM account, you'll not have the
SeCreateTokenName privilege in any service started under this account.
This is a Microsoft design decision to raise security.  Alas, the cygwin
mailing list is not the right place to discuss sense or nonsense of this
decision...

Only if you are running rxvt in X mode and talking about things that have
to do with visual rendering of the window (e.g., fonts, positioning, etc).
Then this would belong on the cygwin-xfree list.  Otherwise, mentioning
rxvt should be fine.

Cygwin ssh (and basically all terminals except the Windows console) use
pipes to emulate ttys (so-called "ptys").  Some Windows applications don't
like these ptys and won't write data to them (and they will certainly not
detect them as a console, so any console-specific functions won't work
either).

On Windows 2003, SYSTEM does not have the appropriate privileges to switch
user contexts, so ssh-host-config needs to create an account that does.
Read  for
details.

You are not guaranteed that the program you want to drive will work with a
pty.  The easiest way to check is to run the application in rxvt.  If that
works, your app will probably work over ssh as well.  If it doesn't, don't
even bother to set up ssh.  Whether or not this works is specific to the
application you intend to run.

Problems using 'mkdirhier'

[Angelo Graziosi]

Trying to build an application downloaded from the web, the make fails
using 'mkdirhier'. I have reproduced this with the following example:

As Administrator:

$ cd

mkdir: cannot create directory `//home': No such host or network path
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/Administrator': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/Administrator/foo1': Permission
denied
mkdir: cannot create directory
`//home/Administrator/foo1/foo2': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory
`//home/Administrator/foo1/foo2/lib': Permission denied

-

The system is W2K SP4 with ALL CYGWIN installed.

I am using the snapshot : 1.5.20s(0.155/4/2) 20060614 16:21:31

In cygwin am using the following test packages:


   coreutils-5.96-1

   lesstiff-0.94.4-1

I do not see this and I do not know why you are seeing that behavior.
I am reporting that 

  $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] server] [command]

produces user-visible output when I run that command from RHEL 3

Sorry.  Don't know.  I've given you the basic facts but researching this
further is not something that I'm interested in doing.  Your use is
very much a corner case and if it doesn't work then I'm not terribly
concerned.  However, if you think you have a fix for the behavior you
can certainly submit it to cygwin-patches.

RE: 1.5.19: tar runs normally from command line but terminates early when run from crontab

[Stepp, Charles]

From a Unix viewpoint, running from cron does not set the environment
the same as with an interactive session. I have sometimes had to set
TERM=vt100 (or whatever) and other environment variables to get things
to run from cron.

One trick it to capture your environment to a file, edit out what you
know won't matter and add the rest to the top of your script:

env > env.out
vi env.out

Add
. env.out

To script.

Subject: 1.5.19: tar runs normally from command line but terminates
early when run from crontab

Hi there,

This is my first installation of cygwin, and I'm not very familiar
with W2000 (server or otherwise).

Using ssh from a remote machine I log onto a Windows 2000 server which
is running a freshly installed cygwin.  The recommended settings were
used in the installation and in addition to the defaults, a few extra
packages were installed.  (Although I couldn't find ntpd anywhere...:)

On my local (Linux) box I get a bash prompt from the W2k server:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$

On the W2k server there are two physical devices in a simple RAID
array arranged as one logical drive.  I want to back up some files
from one of the Windows directories on this logical drive into a file
e.g. in the Administrator account's cygwin /home directory located on
the same logical device.  Later, when I have the file, I will copy it
to a remote machine.

To create the file I will use tar.  A simple tar command works when it
is run from the Administrator's command line (either in the foreground
or the background) but fails when run from the Administrator account's
crontab.

When run from the command line the job works whether gzip compression
is used or not, and when run from the crontab it fails also whether
compression is used or not, so I don't think it's anything to do with
pipes and DOS/Unix line endings.

It looks like I'm missing something here.  What is it?

My command window does not show COLUMNS or LINES at all, i.e. echo $COLUMNS 
gives no output. 
After "export COLUMNS=80" as stated somewhere in the thread, both echo $COLUMNS 
and printenv COLUMNS give 80, but resizing the window does not influence this.
What am I missing to get COLUMNS and LINES in the first place

Re: find dir -o does not work

I've now seen substantially the same message content three times.

It does what it was told, but is the same as
find common -type f -o \( -type l -print \)
and only prints symlinks.

> find common -type f -o -type l

Are you sure you don't have some alias in place, and that
you are picking up the right version of find?  The above
expression is the same as
find common \( -type f -o -type l \) -print
and works for me to print out all regular files and symlinks.

> find common -type f -o

That is a syntax error.  -o requires two arguments.  The fact
that you got directories listed instead of a syntax error makes
me suspect that you aren't invoking find properly.

What do 'type find' and 'echo find common -type f -o' print?

Also, following these directions:

and attaching the output of 'cygcheck -svr' would be helpful.

ssh password-less cmds to Windows 2003 don't return any output

[John McNulty]

Hello,

I've been testing executing command via password-less SSH (public key)
logins from  MacOSX and OpenVMS clients to a Redhat EL AS 4 server,
and a WinXP Home system (with Cygwin's OpenSSH).  All works ok and I
can issue test commands like:

$  ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ipconfig

and see the output from ipconfig on the client.

However I've just installed and configured Cygwin OpenSSH on a Windows
2003 server, and setup password-less logins (via public keys) as
before. But when I try and issue a command via ssh from the client I
get no command output back at all.  The remote command just completes
silently.  The password-less login is working just fine.

Does anyone else see this and have any idea why I'm getting this behavior?

I followed the instructions in ssh-host-config and opted to use the
sshd_server account (which kind of caught me by surprise).  Obviously
this changes the way ssh works on Cygwin a little.


Ultimately the object of the exercise here is to drive a CLI app on
Windows 2003 from batch jobs on OpenVMS.  Cygwin OpenSSH is the only
way I've been able to think of to solve this problem.  The other
clients and servers are only being used to test my methodology is
correct, and it works flawlessly on WinXP Home.

Regards,

John

find dir -o does not work

[root]

Hi,
I posted my request for help, but the client i used truncated the message.
I post it again for your attention.
By the way
find common -type f -o -type l -print  does not works either.
I think the -o flag  is returning false.

I am trying to make a tar with files that are in a directory and checks
some condition
The problem i encountered is next :
find common  -type f   give the following output. (which is good)

common/VERSION
common/gui/svcConsole/src/com/ibm/storage/svc/console/rcmap/RcMapCreateOptionsStep.java


find common -type f -o -type l
(get nothing here )

find common -type f -o
common
common/gui
common/gui/svcConsole
common/gui/svcConsole/src
common/gui/svcConsole/src/com
common/gui/svcConsole/src/com/ibm
common/gui/svcConsole/src/com/ibm/storage
common/gui/svcConsole/src/com/ibm/storage/svc
common/gui/svcConsole/src/com/ibm/storage/svc/console
common/gui/svcConsole/src/com/ibm/storage/svc/console/rcmap
find common -type f -o -type f
(nothing)
It seems that  "find common -type f -o -
returns nothing.
I'm using winXP. On linux same comand works fine...
Thanks for your time.

OK, thank you. :) Now that I am enlightened I will enlight the guy who made 
this mistake in a program I am using. ;)

You are making invalid assumptions.  Have a look into
/usr/include/cygwin/types.h and /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h
and see the light.  After that, make a mental note:

  "Never create a device number other than by using the makedev macro"

Problem creating device files

[Nicolas Boudin]

Hello,

I get strange results when trying to create device files with this program:

#include 

int main (void)
{
int major, minor;
dev_t dev;

major = 5;
minor = 1;
dev = (major << 8) | minor;

mknod ("test", S_IFCHR | 0666, dev);

return 0;
}

After running it, I get:

# ls -al test
crw-rw-rw-1 NBoudin mkgroup-l-d 0, 1281 Jun 21 10:44 test

However, with "mknod test2 c 5 1":
crw-rw-rw-1 NBoudin mkgroup-l-d 5,1 Jun 21 10:44 test2

Why do I get this result?

Bye,

Nicolas

I have put correct values here now.

These ports are open. I don't understand why NFS transfers work with U-Boot but 
not with the kernel.

File Monitor told me nfsd was failing to open the C:/ directory (my cygwin is 
in C:/local), so it looks like it was a permission problem, but everything was 
allowed for members of my Administrators group, like my nfs user who is running 
the NFS services. So it is strange it didn't report me an "acces denied" error.

Now it goes a bit further, it can mount the root filesystem at last, and I get 
other errors about device files, but this is another problem. ;)

Thanks a lot!

Nicolas
