HTH,


not without knowing your setup it doesn't, no.
and he was asking for personal mails to keep the spam off the
list while collating information about the bug.

try running "cygcheck -cd gcc cygwin" and mailing it to rob
at the very least to show what versions of the compiler and cygwin
you are running. reporting you got a problem but not knowing what
versions you are running doesn't really help narrow the problem
down.

Re: making a cygwin install.

[Oliver Wienand]

Creating a self-extracting .exe that installs parts of Cygwin is not a
very Cygwin-friendly way of distributing software, as it won't play nicely
with existing Cygwin installations (see ).
The approved way of installing Cygwin is using the setup.exe tool.


I totally agree that one should use Cygwin setup.exe to install a 
Cygwin-based application. However, you can just wrap setup.exe and a 
local repository with a base package holding all the packages to install 
with some Windows install program to get single executable setup package.

All:

This is a follow-up to a couple of posts I made 7/25,7/26/2006 regarding 
DLL loading issues.  cygcheck output was attached to the first of my two 
posts.  The cause of the problem in its original incarnation is still 
undetermined, as it all seems to be happening upstream of main() where 
things are slightly harder to nail down.


I tried pushing the issue downstream of main() by loading one of the 
questionable DLLs directly via dlopen().  This also failed, so I pared it 
down to something small that still fails consistently (testcase1.tgz, 
attached).  While this isn't exactly the form of the problem I originally 
described, it's still DLL related, and the behavior is similar.


As indicated in my original post, this problem appears possibly related to 
previously reported DLL loading issues.  But... those are supposed to be 
fixed in 1.5.21-1.


I've run this app on two XP boxes and one Win2K box with the 1.5.21-1 
cygwin1.dll, and all failed with dlerror() reporting "permission denied".  
FWIW on two of the machines I tried the 1.5.18-1 cygwin1.dll (same compiler 
version), and it always worked.


At first glance it would seem that "permission denied" is pointing to the 
issue, but simple (and irrational) changes to the source cause the problem 
to morph.  For example, commenting out the #include of ReleasePool.h in 
Object.cpp - which isn't strictly required in the test case Object.cpp but 
was a leftover from the paring down process - caused the failure to be 
reported as "bad address".  Commenting out other things, such as some of 
the static fields in the Object and/or ReleasePool classes, or the 
#include's in Object.h, permit dlopen() to load the DLL successfully.  
Also, removing the -g from CXXFLAGS results in a build that works.  There 
are other variations.


At this point I'm looking for volunteers with the same cygwin/g++/etc... 
versions to try to build and run this, to see if the failure is consistent, 
or if we just happen to have a pile of confused machines at our office.  To 
run a) untar testcase1.tgz somewhere, b) make, c) ./run.  It will either 
say the DLL loaded OK, or give a reason why it didn't.


Note that I have *not* yet tried gcc 3.4.4-2 as suggested earlier by Dave 
Korn.  I'll try to get to that shortly.  Have also not yet tried the 
current nightly build.


For any of you who have a moment to help, feel free to my private email if 
you prefer and I will be glad to summarize any findings in a future post to 
keep the chatter on the list down.


TIA for any help.

Rob

Help with ITP (package maintenance)

[Maurício]

  Hi,

  I would like to be maintainer of a program called 'rlwrap'. It's a 
great tool to be used with Windows command line programs and cygwin, 
since it allows any program to be used with GNU readline input (I use it 
with 'ghci', the Haskell interpreter, and others).
  However, I don't have a FTP server where I can put my packages so 
they can be evaluated by current maintainers. Can someone provide me a 
place to put those files? They sum 180KB. That would be only for a few 
days until cygwin maintainers can check the quality of my package and 
vote its inclusion in official cygwin, and then those files can be removed.


  Thanks for your help,
  Maurício

can't help with the sftp, but one solution to creating the links is
to create a script that checks for them and creates them if they

need assistance w/sftp & home folder creation

[MyStiC]

The issue is that members of the users group cannot connect to the
server via SFTP.  The users can connect via SSH & SCP when their
rights include the ability to write & append data.  When using the
SFTP command within the bash console, after the password is entered,
the connection immediately closes.  WinSCP logs "Server unexpectedly
closed network connection".  Members of the administrators group have
no issues.

I've made several reinstall attempts of both the OS & Cygwin apps,
with no progress.  I've exhausted the resources on the web and have
yet to find any resolution to this issue within the mailing lists
archives.

Also, I am looking for a way to have the initial setup of the users'
home directories to also create predefined links.  ie /home/user/
link_1, link_2...  Presently, I am creating these links manually so
the restricted users, or any user which is unfamiliar with the file
system, can quickly access public resources.

I appreciate any assistance

How do I reply so that this stays attached to this issue? Sorry, new @ Cygwin

Yes, they can share a network drive.
And ... it works!

There are still a couple of packaging errors:

 o /etc/*.conf shouldn't be there, instead copied only in the postinstall script

Hi,

we have some (~20) PCs here, which have no connection to the Internet.
Reason: Security!

Question: How can I install cygwin on such PCs?
  (The recommended method with "setup.exe" doesn't work!
   I'm able to download files and carry them to the internal network)

Creating a self-extracting .exe that installs parts of Cygwin is not a
very Cygwin-friendly way of distributing software, as it won't play nicely
with existing Cygwin installations (see ).
The approved way of installing Cygwin is using the setup.exe tool.

However, there is a way of doing what you want using setup.exe.  Simply
create a Cygwin package that contains the right configuration files, add a
setup.hint that puts the package in the Base category and requires all the
standard packages you've installed, then publish your package on some web
site and have your users run Cygwin setup and point it to both a standard
mirror and your site.  The users will then have all the right packages
selected automatically.  You might want to have your package initially put
the config files somewhere other than their final location (e.g.,
/etc/defaults), and then have the postinstall script that moves them into
the right location (to ensure that the postinstall scripts of all other
required packages have completed by the time you do that).

If you do it right, the users can later update Cygwin on their machines or
install more packages in a standard way.  Just make sure there are no
clashes of the files actually included in your package with the files
included in other package tarballs, otherwise setup will remove your files
if the user decides to update those packages later.
HTH,
Igor

[McGraw, Robert P.] 

I have looked through the suggested ULR and not finding my answer. 

I googled genini cygwin, and the perl script pointed me
cygwin.com/setup.html, but it is talking about creating software packages.
This does not sound like what I need to do.

So let me rephrase my question and ask how other people handle this through
an example. 

I need to install the Cygwin/Xserver on multiple machines. I first installed
Cygwin & Cygwin/X and all necessary and needed packages from a cygwin server
to my WinXP test system. 

Once I have tested and have it working with the right parameters, I now need
to install the same software on multiple machines. I would like to create
some kind of bundle or selfextracting file that a user can get and install
on their WinXP machine. This will be sure that users have what they need to
run the Cygwin/Xserver.


Thanks

Robert

WJFFM.  There are many things that can be different in our environments.
Are you sure you're reading the hosts separately?  What's IFS set to?
Try prepending something to $host in your second loop, e.g., "echo Host:
$host" and see if you get them echoed one host at a time, or all three at
once.  You may also insert "echo" before the ssh in the first loop and see
if you get 3 echoes.  Also, is "set -e" in effect?  If it is, the loop may
be quitting if the first ssh returns false.

This statement isn't necessarily correct. I use bash and doing an
echo 
there won't call the executable from the coreutils but the bash builtin. But 
since both behave very similar wrt escape characters that doesn't matter too 
much, I guess.

Almost correct, except that in bash, "echo" is a shell builtin, and you
should've been using "help echo" instead of "man echo".  Luckily, both
/bin/echo and bash's builtin understand the -e option.

It's usually a good idea to run "type COMMAND" first, to find out what
COMMAND is, to make sure you're looking at the right documentation.

Robert,

All of the information you're looking for should be on these pages:

You might also Google for "genini cygwin".

man echo
would have shown you echo's "-e" option. Try
echo -e "\t\t Hello"

I doubt that that's a matter of whether you use Cygwin or not but a matter of 
whether you use the echo command from the GNU core utilities or not. On your 
True64 unix, you propably don't.

"man echo" has the answer - on Cygwin use the "-e" argument ie :  echo -e
"\t\t Hello"

Escape Character

[mattlucasv]

Hi

I am new to Cygwin and I am just trying to use the escape character example
is

echo "\t\t Hello"

but this returns \t\t Hello and ignores the escape characters.

I was looking for it to return Hello with a couple of TABS in front like
it does on our True64 unix system.  Is the escape character differant in
Cygwin or am I missing something ??? any help would be great

making a cygwin install.

[McGraw, Robert P.]

I would like to create a cygwin setup package so that users can install the
same software package on their machines.

Is this possible? If so can you point me to the documentation that explains
how to do this?

Thanks

Robert

Re: 1.5.21-1 missing header file 'jpeglib'

[Susana Manrique de Lara Sanz]

Right.  So why would you expect to find the include file there as well?
Why do you think the file you need is in libjpeg62?  The only file in that 
package is /usr/bin/cygjpeg-62.dll, which is what "cygcheck -l" shows you.
Try searching for the needed file (jpeglib.h) again on the package search 
page (), and install the package that actually 
contains it (according to your cygcheck output, you don't have it installed 
yet).


Sorry, I don't know why I thought so bad that the missing jpeglib.h had to 
be in that package, I was blind to see it, maybe because I wanted to compile 
a project I downloaded from a web and it said that only the packages I told 
you I installed were needed. So I thougth something must be wrong with 
cygwin instead of they had forgotten to include the jpeg package.


Problem solved, thank you very much Igor and Dave :)

Bye,

Susana

The announcement is missing.  -1 was just missing a bit of documentation.

Try this:

The first match

is what you're looking for and what I used when implementing the
