Requesting Help Troubleshooting App That Won't Start
Hello mailing list. I'm new to Cygwin/X, and I'm trying to use it to run Micros 8700 apps (on a SCO OpenServer 5 machine) from my Win2K PC. I'm running an out-of-the box default install of Cygwin/X, except for adding the -ac switch to the startxdmcp.bat file (thanks to Matt Flemming's web site). I can successfully run startxdmcp.bat and log in to the OpenServer desktop. All the built-in OpenServer apps seem to work, and all the Micros 8700 apps work except one (Configurator), which of course is the one I need. When I attempt to start the app, the outline of the window begins to display, but before the contents become visible it immediately closes. The XWin.log file looks exactly the same whether I run a working app or the nonworking one, so that doesn't seem to give me any clues. I don't know where to go from here to troubleshoot - any suggestions would be appreciated.

It starts Cygwin's 'cygserver' http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html as a service. This service is not required to run the X-server. The Cygwin X-server is started just as one would manually but automates it by putting it in the startup folder. Things started from this folder are not services, though it is a perfectly good way to start the X-server automatically.

Which packages for a2x
Hi, I downloaded the asciidoc package. asciddoc works fine. I then tried the a2x program. First 'getopt' was missing from my installation. I used the Search Package List, it said that getopt.exe is in: cygutils/cygutils-1.2.10-1 A collection of simple utilities util-linux/util-linux-2.12r-2 Random collection of Linux utilities But I have cygutils installed (by default?), so maybe the package list is somehow wrong? I installed util-linux, and now a2x is missing xsltproc. So I was wondoering if a2x could be a package itself, that pulled all the needed packages with it? (asciidoc+util-linux+???)

iostream
Hi everybody I have problems with cygwin supporting iostream.h I use g++ as compiler and I'm told to remove the .h suffix from the header. doing so results in error messages about unknown functions. the test programm is: #include main() { cout He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy endl; } resulting in: In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/backward/iostream.h:31, from test.cc:1: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2: warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header.

However, it's been asked often enough on this list, so here's an answer for the archives: gcc uses the file extension to determine the language. Any extension it doesn't recognize is assumed to be a C file. The default extension for a C++ file is .C. gcc does not recognize .cxx, which is used by Microsoft compilers, I think. It is, of course, possible to tell gcc to treat a .cxx file as a C++ file. In case you don't want to mess with the gcc configuration, use either the -x c++ option of gcc, or simply call g++. Igor Hmm, I suppose I better correct myself before someone else does... The default extensions (suffixes) for C++ are .C, .cc, .cpp, and .cxx. Any suffix that is not recognized (e.g., .o and .a) is passed directly to the linker. What's wrong with me today? :-( Please strike the .cpp suffix. The above should read: The default suffixes for C++ are .C, .cc, and .cxx. your 'mistake' was understandable, since .C, .cc, .cxx, .cp, .cpp and.c++. are all considered c++ in gcc 3.0 and up. (although the person in this question is obviously using 3.0 since they got it to compile :P) Gareth Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!

1.5.21-1 Release: Windows memory resources do not recover.
Hi! On further investigation an looking more closely at the areas in the configure script where they errors and/or reboot was occurring, and with some helpful pointers from responders on this list, I've constructed the following bash shell script (exhaustMem.bsh): -- #!/bin/sh if [ $1 == --help -o $1 == -h -o $1 == /? ] then echo Usage: `basename $0` [mainIter [execIter [varIter]]] echo Where: mainIter outermost loop iterations [default: 50] echoexecIter exec file descriptors iterations [default: \$mainIter] echovarIter variable assignment via back tick exec [default: \$mainIter] echo echo Description: echoExecute while monitoring the Task Manager in Windows selecting the echo'Performance' tab and watching the value in the 'Physical Memory (K)' echotable element 'Available'. Value will steadily decrease and never echofully recover after all execution has finished. At least, not in the echoshort term. And it can lead to depletion to the point where reboot echois necessary or precipitated. echo echoCommand line parameters can be tweaked to examine which seem to affect echothe severity of the condition the most. exit 0 fi mainIter=$1 : ${mainIter:=10} mainMax=$mainIter execIter=$2 : ${execIter:=$mainIter} execMax=$execIter varIter=$3 : ${varIter:=$mainIter} varMax=$varIter while [ ${mainIter} -ne 0 ] do mainIter=`expr ${mainIter} - 1` echo Main Output to File Iteration: `expr ${mainMax} - ${mainIter}` tmpIter=$execIter while [ ${tmpIter} -ne 0 ] do tmpIter=`expr ${tmpIter} - 1` echo Exec to Open File Descriptor Iteration: `expr ${execMax} - ${tmpIter}` exec 5data5.txt exec 6data6.txt exec 7data7.txt done tmpIter=$varIter while [ ${tmpIter} -ne 0 ] do tmpIter=`expr ${tmpIter} - 1` echo Variable Backtick Exec Assignment Iteration: `expr ${varMax} - ${tmpIter}` thePath=`echo $PATH` theDir=`pwd` theDate=`date` theMachine=`uname -m` theKernel=`uname -s` theKernRlse=`uname -r` theOpSys=`uname -o` done echo Current Path: 5 echo $thePath 5 echo 5 echo Current Directory: ${theDir} 5 echo 5 echo Date and Time: ${theDate} 5 echo 5 echo Machine Type: ${theMachine} 5 echo 5 echo Kernel Name: ${theKernel} 5 echo 5 echo Kernel Release: ${theKernRlse} 5 echo 5 echo Operating System: ${theOpSys} 5 echo 5 echo Current Path: 6 echo $thePath 6 echo 6 echo Current Directory: ${theDir} 6 echo 6 echo Date and Time: ${theDate} 6 echo 6 echo Machine Type: ${theMachine} 6 echo 6 echo Kernel Name: ${theKernel} 6 echo 6 echo Kernel Release: ${theKernRlse} 6 echo 6 echo Operating System: ${theOpSys} 6 echo 6 echo Current Path: 7 echo $thePath 7 echo 7 echo Current Directory: ${theDir} 7 echo 7 echo Date and Time: ${theDate} 7 echo 7 echo Machine Type: ${theMachine} 7 echo 7 echo Kernel Name: ${theKernel} 7 echo 7 echo Kernel Release: ${theKernRlse} 7 echo 7 echo Operating System: ${theOpSys} 7 echo 7 done exit 0 -- It pretty well illustrates the problem. It also points to it's being a problem between Windows (mine is XP Pro SP2) and bash.exe. Possibly the particular build Cygwin uses (?). Anyway, it does appear to be an exec error from one source or another (backtick execution being another form of exec). The severity also seems related to what is being exec'd more so than how long the exec takes or how large. If you open Windows Task Manager and monitor the Physical Memory, it's pretty easy to see.

I guess the vendor isn't likely to want to share their dll source with you so you could recompile it with gcc, but it might not be /too/ complicated to just take a look at the USB transactions that get sent across the bus when you try to manipulate the gpios using their dll, then throw together your own custom library to send the same transactions using libusb or similar. This works in Linux already (we extended the linux driver to emulate the gpio capbilities of the vendor DLL). ...especially since he seemed to imply that he already has his own working source for Linux. It should (FLW) be fairly easy to port this to Cygwin (seeing as how Cygwin's purpose is to emulate Linux, and make porting Linux code easy). To use libusb, a native driver can't have allocated the device, right? The windows driver is currently providing a USB/serial interface so the device can be opened by its tty/com port. This functionality is required. In Linux, this was easy; extend the part's kernel driver to provide ioctl()s that implement the additional USB transactions to support gpio. There's no such analog in the vendor's windows driver; instead they provide this add-on DLL. Any feedback is appreciated. I'm possibly missing some simpler alternative.

You can download and install a precompiled mpich2 for windows. Then you can use cygwin compilers and loaders to link your program to that library in the usual way. When I tried a couple of months ago to build mpich2 from sources using cygwin's compilers, there were problems (which I don't even fully remember now).

My server is currently a simple HTTP server (sends out a blank html page saying you are here). I can connect to my listening socket from within the same process and transmit data to and from the server and client, but, if I try to use a web-browser, I get This connection was denied and the server application has no notification of anything even trying to connect. I've checked all of windows' firewall settings (firewall is disabled). I've also tryed binding to my external IP and to my loopback. I've tryed binding to 0.0.0.0. Somewhere, my connection is being rejected. I've checked the windows log files for dropped packets, and nothing. I'm at my wits end. All sockets functions return normally, there are no errors that windows is reporting. This is either a Windows or Cygwin problem, but I can't figure it out.

All sockets functions return normally, there are no errors that windows is reporting. This is either a Windows or Cygwin problem, but I can't figure it out. There is no such thing as a per-process socket, so that can't be the cause directly. I suggest you a) look at the netstat output to make sure that the socket you think is there and listening is valid and b) try to connect with something simple like telnet or netcat rather than a browser. The most likely explanation for this behaviour is that you've got the wrong endianness somewhere in your code when you setup the inetaddrs. Within the same process, you've got the same code, so the server is listening on whichever numbered port you get if you byteswap (unsigned short)80, and the client that tries to connect tries to connect to that port, whereas when you try it with a real browser it tries to get to the real port 80 and finds nothing there listening. You must use htonX when entering values directly into an inetaddr. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/
