runtime unpleasantness with setup.exe
I'm trying to make an automated cygwin install as part of another project. Everything works as expected, except on my boss's tablet (running XP with all updates). There the installer runs into a error parsing an ini file (presumably my setup.ini) when using the stable setup.exe (v2.510.2.2). A screenshot of this error is at https://research.ori.org/rft/cygbug/parsing_error.png . The only changes I made to the setup.ini were to add some Perl packages to the Base category so they'd be installed automatically. I also tried to build setup.exe from CVS, but using that exectuable gives me a runtime error (https://research.ori.org/rft/cygbug/runtime_error.png). Again, everything (both normal and CVS setup.exe) works fine on the other two machines I have for testing. The only failures happen on my boss's tablet. Logs from the install with the stable setup.exe are in the same directory. Christoph

Logging xterm contents to a file.
Hi, Really dumb question. but hope somebody replies to this one? Is it possible to save the entire contents of a xterm window into a file? (using anything other than script) e.g. for a putty window, we have an option of logging all the contents of the putty window into a file just by doing a right click and giving the file name and path in the properties window. Do we have a similar option for an xterm window in Cygwin?

Re: Xterm, rxvt, mrxvt, etc....
[consolidating two subthreads] Thomas Dickey wrote: Not so fast, Thomas. I did not and do not agree with your previous posts: neither of your messages claimed that upstream rxvt has no maintainer. (If they did, then I would have agreed with that.) Your messages claimed that rxvt had no cygwin maintainer. That claim is false: I am the cygwin maintainer for rxvt. I don't much care for the role of cygwin maintainer in a discussion related to _support_, since you're deliberatly confusing the issue of putting the file on someone's disk in contrast to making it work. Sigh. cygwin's rxvt is not broken. It works for me, and about 2000 others. A few people seem to need additional help, and usually they seem to work it out themselves (typically, the problem is in their xserver configuration, or PIBKAC, because they haven't bothered to read the man pages, READMEs, other documenation, or STFW). If somebody having a problem with rxvt ever followed the instructions on cygwin's problem page (and followed any of the embedded links, also reproduced below): http://cygwin.com/problems.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html and demonstrated that they HAD, in fact, RTFMed and STFWed and read the READMEs and other documentation... first, I'd faint. Then, I'd be more than willing to help (and my first question would be, does xterm work? G ). But short of that, I've little motivation to answer repeated questions already answered elsewhere. I'd much rather engage in tendentious discussions like this one. No, scratch that. I don't enjoy wasting time this way, either -- but since we're here, dadgummit... On the cygwin lists, there are typically two possible meanings of the word maintainer. However, there is a third meaning, and it appears we are failing to communicate because you're assuming only definitions A and C, and I was assuming only definitions A and B: A: the upstream maintainer. E.g: the x.org folks for most of X you, for xterm, ncurses, etc me, for cygutils and a few other even more obscure things the committers for gcc. nobody, for rxvt B: the cygwin maintainer. The person responsible for the package on the cygwin mirror system, for accepting/acting on bug reports and patches *reported on the cygwin mailing lists*, for occasionally monitoring the upstream lists and feeding patches upstream. And sometimes, if one is really lucky, providing 24/7 call-center-style end-user hand-holding. This person approaches package 'X' as a member of the cygwin community, rather than the other way around. E.g. Harold Hunt, for xterm (yes, he's gone; so in cygwin parlance, xterm is unmaintained (but see category C, below) me, for ncurses and rxvt and about 30 others Dave Korn, for gcc (but Dave is now, also, a committer for gcc, which puts him in category A *and* C, as well!) I don't do much end-user hand-holding, for any of my packages. Maybe that makes me a *bad* maintainer. But it does NOT mean, in the sense most often used on the cygwin lists, that cygwin's rxvt (or zlib, or unzip, or gettext, or...) package is unmaintained. Quick: who's the maintainer of ncurses? Depends on what you mean by maintainer. C: a project maintainer with a focus on portability to a particular platform. That is, a member of the project 'X' community, who is either responsible for, or otherwise cares about, whether 'X' works on [linux|cygwin|mingw|darwin|whathaveyou]. This person may (or may not) be a regular on the target platform's (cygiwn's?) mailing lists -- they may instead do all their porting work within the 'X' community's mailing lists. This is typically the case for those projects that have cygwin ports, but do not, for whatever reason, submit them as official packages for the cygwin mirror system. E.g. Yaakov Selkowitz (cygwin-ports) provides Gnome, KDE, and xFCE packages -- but uses /those/ projects' mailing lists and bugzillas to manage it. He specifically requests that users of cygports use the mailing lists he has set up, and NOT cygwin's lists. However, he also hangs out on the cygwin lists, so... You, for xterm (and ncurses, and terminfo). You answer questions here, but do not take responsibility for the xterm package on the cygwin mirrors. Dave Korn, gcc: he now spends as much time/posts as many messages on the various gcc lists as he does the cygwin lists, and has been given commit-after-approval access to gcc svn. So, with regards to gcc, Dave is a hat trick: A, B, and C. Obviously, there can be a lot of overlap. And often, cooperation: I'm the 'B' maintainer for both gettext and libintl, but Bruno (the 'A' maintainer) takes a lot of interest in the cygwin and mingw platforms. I'll often send him patches, either directly or via bug-gettext, and he

question::OpenSSH for Windows v3.8.1p1-1:
Hi All I'm hoping you can help with this problem I've been struggling with here. We have installed OpenSSH for Windows v3.8.1p1-1: on our Windows 2000 server. I've created a local windows user and made the necessary addition to the 'passwd' file. Once I logon using an sftp client my default folder is correctly the folder specified in the 'passwd' file. From command line if I try to perform a 'cd ..' it correctly prevents me from going back a folder. However from command line if I type 'cd /' it takes me to the root folder of the openssh application. I understand that this is specified in the registry and the '/' key is used when starting up the openssh instance. My problem is that I want to prevent users from entering '/' because this takes them to this folder and allows them to navigate and view/edit passwd file. I cannot set the permisions on this folder to deny the user access because it will also prevent the user from logging on. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent users from gaining access to this folder?

Access of files using absolute path (was: Error opening script file)
Aside from the problem described in my original posting (see the quote at the end of this message), I found a related problem, which has nothing to do with the execution of a script, but which seems to suggest that I have a general problem in opening files by specifying absolute pathes. Here an example: I did a cd to drive C: $ pwd /cygdrive/c and I also have the following jar file: $ ls -l $PWD/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 rfischer 9962 Jun 13 2006 /cygdrive/c/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar I can list the content of the jar file using RELATIVE path: /cygdrive/c $ jar tf jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF org/ org/apache/ org/apache/jmeter/ org/apache/jmeter/DynamicClassLoader.class org/apache/jmeter/NewDriver$1.class org/apache/jmeter/NewDriver.class META-INF/LICENSE META-INF/NOTICE But I can NOT list its contents using absolute path: $ jar tf $PWD/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar java.io.FileNotFoundException: \cygdrive\c\jakarta-jmeter-2.2\bin\ApacheJMeter.jar (Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.init(FileInputStream.java:106) at java.io.FileInputStream.init(FileInputStream.java:66) at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:205) at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:1022) Interestingly, I *can* open the file using, for example, od -x: $ od -x $PWD/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar| head -n 2 000 4b50 0403 000a a84a 34cd 020 0009 0004 454d So on this level, it seems that od and jar use different means to open a file.

Cygwin, Vista, and rcmd
I've been watching the groups, Google, and so forth with little luck to resolving the issue seen by myself and a few other people: $ rlogin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9617 [main] rlogin 5392 e:\cygwin\bin\rlogin.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't dynamically determine load address for 'rcmd' (handle 0x75E7), Win32 error 127 Hangup So I finally did some research myself. I don't have a solution, but i have another name for the problem! Error code 127 is the 'procedure not found' code in Win32. I searched through the code and the DLLs involved, and found that ultimately, rlogin is looking for 'rcmd' in mswsock.dll (linked through wsock32.dll). The 'rcmd' export is clearly available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (the two other versions I checked), and conspicuously absent in Vista. (Checked with depends.exe). The only thing I could find on the development list was a note from July by Corinna Vinschen that there was work in progress towards replacing the winsock calls -- looks like we're going to need that for Vista. I'm not looking for support, just sharing the results of my research in hopes of making the problem less mysterious.

Matthew Woehlke wrote: Hmm, ok, I was misunderstanding the problem then. You are getting a new package list, right? (I.e. you are not trying to install locally?) Correct. It's actually a bit different than the descriptions I gave in my last couple messages: If I leaved Curr selected, the cycle is: 2.41-2 -- Keep -- 2.41-1 -- Uninstall --+ ^ | +--+ That is, it starts on 2.41-2, but never goes back to that version. If I select Keep, the cycle is the same but (of course) starts on Keep so I can't get back to 2.41-2. I have a suspicion that installing 2.41-1 and only then trying to install 2.41-2 would solve this problem, but I'll put that off a bit in case anyone wants me to try anything else. -- Aaron http://arundelo.com -- 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/

Hmm, that /is/ odd. In fact, it sounds like it might be a weird setup bug i.e. an installed version that is no longer available messes up the cycle. I would definitely try a setup snapshot and checking the log as per Brian's advice (although I'm not sure if the log will help since setup does seem to know about the new version). If you're feeling adventurous you could download the setup source code and have a look around. :-) Meanwhile I would guess that installing the 'prev' version first would work. -- Matthew child: Do not try to read the .sig.

Re: xemacs -nw problem

Works for me. Could it be a matter of your terminal settings? If you use cmd.com (instead of rxvt or bash), and have CYGWIN=notty (default) instead of CYGWIN=tty, then ctrl-c is not captured properly by xemacs, making key sequences such as ctrl-x ctrl-c impossible to type. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

installing libncurses.a etc
I have just installed cygwin on a new laptop, so it is a very recent version. I want to try to compile an application that needs ncurses. However, configure can not find ncurses, and indeed libcurses.a and its friends are not in /usr/lib. I tried reinstalling. An old message suggested installing ncurses first and then libncurses and terminfo. The result is the same. There is nothing from ncurses in /usr/lib, but /usr/bin has:- $ ls *ncurse* cygncurses++-8.dll* cygncurses++6.dll* cygncurses5.dll* cygncurses7.dll* cygncurses++5.dll* cygncurses-8.dll* cygncurses6.dll* ncurses8-config* This was exactly the situation after the first install. I can find nothing in the archives and indeed most messages about ncurses are quite old and I expect things have changed. I am probably missing something obvious, but I can not see it. I have used cygwin for ages but have never needed ncurses before. Can anyone offer a clue.
