think "Wow! Zing!" was not anyone trying to be professional or
encouraging.  I very much do not care what version of Linux someone uses
and do not care if someone learns Unix.  I do think that people should
spend a modicum of time familiarizing themselves with something before
offering criticisms, suggestions, or advice, however.  If they can't be
bothered to do that, and want to lecture or criticize, they should be
prepared not to be taken very seriously.

Oh and FYI, this isn't paid support and no one here has to make any
effort whatsoever to be "professional".

You're wrong.  You're using software from http://cygwin.com/ .  It is not
"RH based" in any way.  I use Ubuntu and Gentoo on the systems where I
develop Cygwin.  Some package developers possibly don't have any Linux
system whatsoever.

As far as actual code in Cygwin is concerned, you could make the case that
if Cygwin is "based" on anything it would be FreeBSD, not Linux.

You seem to be missing the point that the only reason the OP downloaded
Cygwin was to install Ubuntu.

Your confusion about /cygdrive was in email, not irc.  If you really
were the person who was asking on irc that would qualify as being
confused four times since I had to repeat myself there at least twice.

Re: change in gawk from 3.1.5 to 3.1.6

2008-06-24 Thread Nicholas Volk
Awk is not really my expertise (haven't used it in years) but shouldn't
that be

awk '{printf ("%6d", 0x22) }' test.txt

I mean that "0x22" usually refers to strings, not hexes.
Works fine without quotations.

Hello Corinna,

it loks as if it didn't understand hex notation any longer. Or am I

"Wow!  Zing!" ???

Hum ...

I would think a simple "yes, understanding Unix/Linux before dealing 
with Cygwin" would have been a bit more professional .. or, probably 
more to the point, encouraging one to pursue learning Unix/Linux.


Regarding his comment of Ubuntu being "newbie-friendly", I live in a 
RH/Fedora world and I was advised by Linux folks I respect to not try to 
bring my own system up under Ubuntu as it would confuse me since I am a 
programmer and not a sysAdmin guru. I'm not advocating RH/Fedora, but 
flavors on Linux are important and following this post gives me the 
sense that Cygwin is RH based (underscored by 
http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/). Hence, that might be a better 
model towards his understanding Linux and then Cygwin.

Also: thanks for the answer. It actually doesn't really matter, and
maybe it is unnecessary for Cygwin to bother catering towards people
without UNIX experience at all. They probably should be avoiding it
until after they've had some experience with Linux.

Re: Running fontforge.exe does nothing

David Spector wrote:

Dave and Ralph,

Thanks for your quick responses and help.

That did it. I can now run fontforge. Thanks again!

(Surely cygwin packaging could have been done similar to the Make model 
so a single "install the latest fontforge" command would automatically 
install cygwin, x windows, and all necessary libraries, with nothing 
unnecesary? It seems weird to have to spend hours of realtime to get the 
advice necessary to get an ordinary program running, not to mention 
having to use two different diagnostic tools, cygcheck and the module 
search page.)


Cygwin packaging is "done similar to the Make model" in that packages
know what their dependencies are and will automatically add those to
the list of packages to install.

I'm not sure where you got "fontforge" but it's not part of what's
distributed with Cygwin.  If you visited 
and searched for it, this would be evident to you.  The fact that some
external source for 'fontforge' does not magically do what you want
with 'setup.exe' should not be that surprising to you, at least once
you armed with the knowledge of what you're doing.

As for the using both  and 'cygcheck', once
you have 'cygcheck', you don't need .  But
the latter is nice when you don't have the former.  And actually, 'cygcheck
-p' just wraps the web functionality into a convenient command-line tool.
So there's really nothing weird about it.

Packages have dependencies.  When you select one package, setup adds all
the other packages that are required for proper operation of that
package.  If it selected ghostscript, it's because you've selected a
package (possibly indirectly) that is listed as requiring ghostscript. 
If you try to second guess these dependencies you end up with a broken
system where trying to run a command results in nothing happening
because of missing DLLs, which is the original problem that brought you
here in the first place.

Again, if you try to second guess setup you'll just end up with a broken
system.  If it selects a package for installation that means something
indicates that it's necessary for proper operation.

Oh, where to begin.

Email is flexible.  You can read messages using your choice of program,
from full client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Kmail) to text mode client
(emacs, mutt, pine, elm) to webmail (hotmail, gmail, etc) to mobile
phones, and so on.  With a web forum, you get precisely one UI with no
alternatives.  If I find the forum admin's choice of colors or font size
objectionable I have no choice, whereas I can configure my email client
as I wish.  I can filter/sort/organize the messages as I wish according
to arbitrarily complex rules, whereas forums give few options.  And I
cringe when thinking of having to compose messages in a crappy little
web browser form, compared to using a full fledged text editor.

Email is distributed.  When I receive the copy of an email it stays in
my client until I move or delete it.  I can instantly refer to old
messages with practically zero delay, whereas with web forums there is a
page load delay for every page, not to mention that there's not even a
possibility of using web forums offline.

Email has real threads (a tree) when used in conjunction with a real
client, not a flat list of messages.

Email is mirrored.  With web forums, the messages live in exactly one
place and are hard or impossible to mirror by third parties without
database access.  If that one site ever goes down, the content usually
dies with it.  Mailing lists are archived widely by disparate parties
and tend to live on forever regardless of whether the original host
still exists.  Examples:  and
.

Email is fast.  It's pure text.  There are no annoying smileys, avatars,
obnoxious flashing banner ads, stylesheets, javascript, etc.  And
mercifully on this list there is no HTML either.

Email is a push not a pull medium.  There's no refreshing of a page to
see if someone replied, you get a message delivered when it's sent.

Email is universal.  You can CC multiple lists/projects and multiple
recipients, because practically every open source project has a mailing
list.  With web forums, you are restricted to only those forums on that
particular board.  There is no choice of crossposting to other boards
and having replies work in a sensible manner; every community is its own
little walled garden.  There are countless various different and
incompatible forum scripts/software, none of which can communicate; but
email is standard.

Email tends to be treated with a more mature attitude.  For the most
part people use real names and they communicate in proper English with
complete sentences and proper grammar.  Web forums tend to attract the
"LOL OMG WTF!! :smiley:" kind of useless lamer.

Email can be easily gatewayed to other formats.  If you want to read the
mailing list like a web forum, you can:
.  If you want to read it as a
newsgroup, you can: .  If you
want to read it as a blog, you can:
.  And so on with RSS, etc.  But
a web forum is inflexible and static, its interface is totally the mercy
of the script used and site admin.

No, you don't.  You can simply send a message to the list and request to
be CC:d on replies.  You needn't subscribe and receive everything.

Re: Running fontforge.exe does nothing

2008-06-24 Thread David Spector

Dave and Ralph,

Thanks for your quick responses and help.

That did it. I can now run fontforge. Thanks again!

(Surely cygwin packaging could have been done similar 
to the Make model so a single "install the latest 
fontforge" command would automatically install cygwin, 
x windows, and all necessary libraries, with nothing 
unnecesary? It seems weird to have to spend hours of 
realtime to get the advice necessary to get an 
ordinary program running, not to mention having to use 
two different diagnostic tools, cygcheck and the 
module search page.)

That's funny, I feel the same way about browsing messages

Whenever I have a chioce, I use email instead of forums precicely

  Yep: see the radio buttons at the top of the package chooser?  Click

Dave,

Thanks for your quick and helpful response. As you 
requested, I'll keep this discussion on the list.


I'm having trouble using setup.exe. It seems to want 
to download all sorts of software I'm not interested 
in by default. Example: ghostscript, which I already 
have installed under Windows.


I can't find any way to install only the libpng12 and 
libxml2 packages without having to expand then check

Is there a shortcut way of setting all the checkboxes 
to "don't download", so I can just download these two 
packages?

emacs and error emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined.

2008-06-24 Thread Noah

Hi there,

how do I easily cure this problem?

bash-2.03$ emacs -nw my_filename
emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined.
If that is not the actual type of terminal you have,
use the Bourne shell command `TERM=... export TERM' (C-shell:
`setenv TERM ...') to specify the correct type.  It may be necessary
to do `unset TERMINFO' (C-shell: `unsetenv TERMINFO') as well.

Cheers,

ggi terminal for gnuplot

2008-06-24 Thread Peter Rosin

Hi!

I noticed the following in the cygport file of gnuplot

# This gives parse errors
#  --with-ggi

and thought I'd have a look.

The cause is a type cleanup in libggi, and here's a patch to
make gnuplot follow.

Unfortunately the build is killed later by some tex config thing
that I don't have the energy to follow up on, so I have not
tested if this does anything useful other than fixing the first
ggi related build error. Since I don't know if there are more
problems later in the build I'm sending this anyway.

Another variant would be to build with GG_NEED_OLD_INTTYPES
defined, but I think the attached patch is a better approach.

Cheers,
Peter

  You don't, you run "mkgroup" (with appropriate options according to
whether you're in a domain or not etc.) and redirect the output to
/etc/group.  (Or don't, if you want to take a look at what it's going to do
before making any changes).

  NP, but can we keep this on the list please?  (See

someone else might have had time sooner than me to answer this question...)

  Absolutely so.  In order to find out what cygwin package contains any
given file, you plug its name into the search box at
http://cygwin.com/packages/.  Doing so tells us that cygpng12.dll is part of
the libpng12 package, and that cygxml2-2.dll is part of the libxml2 package.

  You'll need to re-run setup.exe just like you did when you followed the
fontforge install instructions (assuming you referred to
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ms-install.html), only this time select the
libpng12 and libxml2 packges.  They'll both be in the Libs category, rather
than the X11 category that you were told to look under last time.

Reini Urban doesn't want the bugzilla stuff on there, so I'm letting
the matter rest, because I don't have anything else practical to
contribute at the moment.  Thanks for the discussion, it's helped me
see things in a wider perspective.  I think some of the social

This is incorrect.  have_win32 does two things:
1) adds -lgdi32 to the PangoWin32 backend LIBADD, which builds fine on
cygwin, although it's practically unused;
2) checks for the Win32 Cairo backend, and if present, specifies that
Cairo is Win32-based and hence so should be PangoCairo.  But this fails
later due to the -export-symbols-regex flag, as you found out.

By making your change, pango would fail to detect cairo-win32.

But this all really begs the question, why are you trying to build a
*Win32* GTK+ on Cygwin?

Your attestation is wrong for pango-1.21.3.

I found the problem.

It is in the configuration file. After making two slight changes it build fine.
It's possible that only one change was necessary, but I'm tired now and will 
leave it
to go on to build gtk+-2.12.10.

For those interesting in building pango-1.21.3, the changes necesaary where 
both of the same type simply involves deleting "|*-*cygwin**" from the two case 
statements.

configure file line # 20052
   line # 22054


case "$host" in
#  *-*-mingw*|*-*-cygwin*) have_win32=true ;;  changed from this
  *-*-mingw*) have_win32=true ;;   <--- to this

otherwise it will require win32 code to be built, and cairo was not build for 
it.

Thanks.  So it won't be treated like the MS NFS client, that's good news.
Rather, it will be treated like FAT (in 1.5 and 1.7), which is the safest
fallback.

Anyway, that doesn't help with your copy problem.  This can't be solved
without more details (when, how, debug output, the usual routine).

No.  In 1.5 you have registry mount points which point from /usr/bin to the
underlying Win32 path.  1.7 uses an fstab file.  SInce you don't have an
fstab file, you don't have the /usr/bin and /usr/lib mount points.  I wrote
in my first reply how to fix this.

I don't see how fstab should be related to these path problems. Maybe your 
comment 
refers to the above? (Maybe I should have split the problems into different 
issues anyway...)
Actually, looking again, I see with 1.5 (and no fstab which did not reappear 
when I 
reverted), there is this kind of double mount or re-mount which effectively 
maps /usr/bin 
to /bin. I had wondered about the purpose of this before. Is it good to use 
this trick 
to fix situations where programs (like rsh) refer to /usr/bin to get them find 
their 
sub-programs in /bin? Wouldn't it be better to install those applications (tbl, 
nroff, ...) 
in /usr/bin in the first place (I see that's where they are on my Linux)?

Running fontforge.exe does nothing

2008-06-24 Thread David Spector

Hi.

I've installed the latest cygwin on my Windows XP Home
system named "SYS3", and it appears to run perfectly.
I have plenty of disk and memory space.

www.springtimesoftware.com/ff-screen02.JPG shows the
result of typing xinit. (Typing startx is similar for
me, except that the created X window is smaller.)

I installed the latest fontforge, following the
official instructions.

When I run fontforge in the X window, nothing happens.
www.springtimesoftware.com/ff-screen01.JPG shows this.
As you can see, there is no error message. (I would
have thought this was a fontforge question, but I was
asked to post it here.)

Does anyone have an idea of what I could have done
wrong?

I should say I know next to nothing about cygwin,
fontforge, or Linux. I'm only interested in running
fontforge, which requires cygwin. I believe lots of
people do run fontforge on Windows, so an answer may
be relevant to people other than myself.

David

The bugzilla is just an internal tool for the developers.

Maybe a mail to this list could be triggered by it?  Then you'd get
stuff in the mail archive where developers traditionally expect it, but
you'd also have something more searchable.  [Sorry, that's a suggestion
with no supplied implementation, but I've never looked at bugzilla code.]

I don't know what adding a bugzilla entry with an RFE for search inside
of setup.exe is going to accomplish given that no one is a programmer
and, if they are a programmer, they don't implicitly understand the
setup code base however.


If that's in response to my comments, I believe you have inflated
them: it is not that *nobody* is a programmer, it is that *many* of
the users are not.  But, yes, this is a weaker form of help than
getting dedicated programmers.

[...]

Should we be spending a lot of time educating people about this so that
they can give ever-more-informed suggestions without ever stepping up to
help?


Clearly not a lot of time, and yes there are diminishing returns.

The thing that never seems to be understood in these merry-go-round
discussions is that very few of us are insightful geniuses who have
innovative new ideas for improving setup.exe.  The suggestions are
by-and-large obvious.  In general, the developers have all of these
ideas and more, if for no other reason, than they've been here longer
and have been thinking about the problem at some depth.


True, there are a severe lack of geniuses. But there are people who,
because they are not programmers, have spent their time gaining
expertise in design and in human factors, who could make useful
suggestions.  Closing the discussion off to only developers excludes
them.  Also, this feels a little bit like the argument apocryphally
made at the end of the 19th century, that soon the patent office
would have to close "because everything has been invented". ;-)
Lateral thinking developed partly because sometimes being outside
the problem gives you a perspective that those inside it don't have.


So, why isn't setup.exe better?  It in't because we stubbornly don't
like to make changes.  It is because no one has the time or inclination
to put man months of effort into introducing new functionality.

In projects which have a healthy number of developers, getting people to
do work is an issue of finding someone with an itch to scratch.  In


Principally, yes, but that isn't the whole story, see below.
[...]

Predictions of doom because suggestions aren't warmly received and vowed
to be acted upon miss several points.  The project doesn't succeed
because Anissa-Random-User decides to grace us with a suggestion.  It
succeeds because people find it useful.


They won't find it at all if her one unique suggestion is excluded
by the process.  The real problem here, is how to keep the good suggestions
while throwing out the rubbish.  It's not easy to solve.  Other
GNU projects find Bugzilla useful, and I think that would be a step
in a useful direction. [It may well only be "hill climbing", so we
reach a local, rather than a global, optimum.]

A project really flourishes when there are enough developers to keep the
project running.  Cygwin has that just barely.  No amount of indignation


Yes.  So let's turn the problem around.  A new programmer turns up,
with no particular thing they want to fix.  They just want to give
something back to Cygwin.  This does happen, people get blocks of
time they don't expect occasionally.  How will they find a list of
problems worth tackling, against which they can match their skill
set?  Were I in this position, I'd rather not have to trawl the mail
archives.  That's the only mechanism suggested at
.

Would you agree that if what is wanted is more development effort,
then it should be made as easy as possible for developers to get
started?

Would you accept patches to the contrib page that suggested the use

No I configured cairo with:

--disable-pdf --disable-svg --prefix=

cairo builds and installs fine this way.

Pango, configured with:
./configure LDFLAGS='-no-undefined' --with-x  --enable-win32-font=no 
--enable-win32=no --disable-ps --disable-pdf --disable-svg --prefix=

# the only option above that pango mentiones in ./configure --help is 
"--with-x".

Regardless, make still prematurely terminates due to errors.

Why is the pango build code trying to incorporate win32, when it is not in 
cairo?

Well Yaakov, you know why.  I expected cairo and pango built a configuration
of --with-x would be fine, and it should be.  You neglected to mention that it 
was trying to build a win32 and cygwin.dll version at the same time, which it 
can't, as far as I know.  So you explicity said to configure without win32.

You are mentioning something that is esoteric.
You mentioned below that...

YO, the gcc version used in not relavant in this case.  I checked this.

> 2) Has the OP built cairo from sources with the Win32 backend instead of

YO, the configuration result is:
Cairo is configured and built with:--with-x

So is Pango, in which its configuration script upon completion outputs:
configuration:backends: Cairo Win32 FreeType X

Note, that is has Cairo, Win32, FreeType, and Win32 as backends.

Cairo builds these automatically.  

> I can attest that there are no issues building pango with the X11 cairo.
So what you probably meant, when you said "was cairo built, explicitly exluding 
win32"... Which is probably neceesaary right?

If you would please educate me as to just what arguments did you use,
when you "configure"d cairo and pango, I could verify your aforementioned
attestation.

Well, the YO, is wrong here
"pango-1.21.3" was not gotten fron SVN's trunk. 
Is is a newly released version.  Not a release candidate, but a public release.

See: http://www.pango.org/Download   and from there
 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pango/

You can also find it at: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pango/1.21/
