Re: configure:2090: error: C compiler cannot create executables

[sugitakukun]

Thanks a lot!!

As you say, I have 2 cygwin1.dll in my PC.
When I deleted one in C:\..\SYSTEM ,then

$ cygcheck `gcc -print-prog-name=cc1`
D:\cygwin/lib\gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/cc1.exe
  D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
  D:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
  D:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-3.dll


And gcc&g++ run!

$ gcc hello.c
$ ./a
Hello World!


Thanks for DaveK,Brian and everyone.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: binutils-20080523-2

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of binutils available for installation.  This
version contains a bug fix for the problem described here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-07/msg00106.html

i.e., "nm -C" did not remove leading underscores.

There should be no other changes besides this one fix from Alan Modra.


For a listing of the files contained in this package see
http://cygwin.com/packages/binutils .  The project web page has more
details: http://sourceware.org/binutils/ .

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and click Next repeatedly.  This will update
any out-of-date packages on your computer.

That looks like you have a multiple Cygwin DLL problem.  It is finding
Cygwin1.dll in C:\Windows\System but it looks like you installed Cygwin
in D:\Cygwin.  This usually means you've installed some other software
from a third party that uses Cygwin under the hood, and they have
decided to pollute your system by putting their Cygwin1.Dll in the
system dir.  You get to clean up the mess.

If you can't figure it out, post the cygcheck output as requested in
.

Or at least who the 'cron' service is running as.  My guess is that when you
installed cron, you chose to run it as yourself or some other unprivileged
(including 'Administrator') user.  Windows services cannot switch user
contexts unless they use a special privileged account (SYSTEM on XP or older
systems).  That's why you get the message.  The solution?  Reinstall it and
let it run under a privileged account.

Thanks for advice.

Try cygcheck, then


$ cygcheck `gcc -print-prog-name=cc1`
D:\cygwin/lib\gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/cc1.exe
  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
  D:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
  D:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-3.dll


But I can't find out what file is "missing".
All DLL files exist.
Some other files are missing from my PC?

Aha, that seems to have solved the problem.  I uninstalled it as a service,
and then re-ran ssh-host-config to re-install it as a service.  Now things
seem to be working correctly.

If only I could figure out what caused it to roll over and die on me in the
first place ...  But this is good enough for my purposes.

  Missing DLL, most likely.  Run "cygcheck `gcc -print-prog-name=cc1`" to
verify and find out what's missing, then re-run setup.exe - it should pick

  Your uninstall-fu is weak.  You didn't delete the service when you moved
C:\cygwin to one side and reinstalled.  Hence ssh-host-config didn't
reinstall the service because it thought it was already installed.

  There's a procedure in the FAQ for comprehensively uninstalling cygwin.

and one for how to uninstall a cygwin service:

configure:2090: error: C compiler cannot create executables

[sugitakukun]

Hi everyone.

I installed Cygwin a little days ago to use gcc & g++.
I tried "gcc hello.c -o test" ,but no error messages were printed and no
file were made.(So do g++ & hello.cpp)

I tried Automake for hello.c on Cygwin, then


$ ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

re: openssh error 1062

[Lee Parsons]

I just noticed a typo that was returned on the 'cygrunsrv -VQ sshd' command.
 The environment line came back as "CYGWIN="htsec tty"".   I then ran

 cygrunsrv -R sshd

followed by

 cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a '-D' -d 'CYGWIN sshd' -e
'CYGWIN=ntsec
tty' -y tcpip

and then

cygrunsrv -VQ sshd

which gave me

Service : sshd
Display name: CYGWIN sshd
Current State   : Stopped
Command : /usr/sbin/sshd -D
stdin path  : /dev/null
stdout path : /var/log/sshd.log
stderr path : /var/log/sshd.log
Environment : CYGWIN="ntsec tty"
Process Type: Own Process
Startup : Automatic
Dependencies: tcpip
Account : LocalSystem


To be less verbose, sshd still doesn't start.  I still get error 1062 when
trying to start it with cygrunsrv.

If you believe that this package is the sum total of what you need to
do what you want, then you want to:


...download
all the needed packages at that via 'wget' or something similar to your
local disk with the same directory structure as your usual download
directory.  


When I say your "usual download directory", I mean your local Cygwin
download directory.  That's the directory you tell 'setup.exe' to use
for the packages it downloads.  You may be able to get away with putting
the package in a directory by itself and pointing 'setup.exe' at that
(i.e. specifying this as the local download directory and telling
'setup.exe' to install from the local directory).  I've never tried this
but I believe that such functionality was at least once supported in
'setup.exe'.  If that doesn't work, then:


...you may find it simpler
to install the packages manually (tar + running postinstall scripts).


I'll take this opportunity to repeat myself a little more:


But that's advanced stuff too and should only be done "if you know what
you're doing"(tm).  If not or if you're not willing or able to solve any
problems that might arise from taking these approaches, you shouldn't
bother.  All of this puts you into the realm of things not supported by
this list.  So if you complain to this list later about problems you see
in the process or with the result, it may very well fall on deaf ears.


But you sound like the adventurous type so go ahead and have fun! ;-)

Re: Updating cygwin from a remote shell?

[cuicui]

Thomas Walker a écrit :

Apologies if this is a newbie question... I did a decent amount of
looking through mailing lists but couldn't find anything relevant.

I'm a Linux/Unix person by hobby and profession and don't really do
much Windows but my family (living in another state) is still rather
Windows centric.  A hard disk failure ago I decided to place a dirt
cheap headless Linux box with mirrored raid on their network and setup
cygwin on their Windows machines so that I could cobble together an
easy backup solution based on cron, ssh, rdist, and fuse.

That all works fine and has done so for some time.  I'm a little bit
of a security nut though (and sometime also want to be able to add new
features for myself and for them) and would like to be able to easily
update cygwin and/or install new packages onto the Windows/Cygwin
boxes from a remote shell.

I know I can setup VNC and all that fun stuff and run setup.exe but is
there an easier way?  The usual yum, apt, up2date, etc. don't seem to
be options...


I think that dpkg exists but you cannot update binaries that are 
running. If you are connected with ssh, the setup process will stop if 
it has to update bash, openssh, cygrunsrv and cygwin...


Cheers,


Nicolas

Looks like it's still an available Cygwin package but it's old enough that
'setup.exe' won't present it to you by default.  You'd need to download
all the needed packages at that via 'wget' or something similar to your
local disk with the same directory structure as your usual download

Looks like it's still an available Cygwin package but it's old enough that
'setup.exe' won't present it to you by default.  You'd need to download
all the needed packages at that via 'wget' or something similar to your
local disk with the same directory structure as your usual download
directory.  You could then point 'setup.exe' at that local directory and
install from it.  If you already have these packages in your existing

openssh error 1062

[Lee Parsons]

I am working on a windows 2000 box that openssh recently stopped working on.
 For several months openssh worked correctly through cygwin as a service,
until the box was errantly shut down by a power outage.  Subsequent attempts
to log in to said box through ssh resulted in authentication errors.

Several different attempts to solve the problem have since been attempted,
including the re-installation of openssh, followed by later the
re-installation of cygwin into a new directory.  Now we are instead blessed
with the windows "error 1062" when trying to start openssh.  

I have seen a variety of solutions for this problem (such as checking the
permissions on /var/empty, correcting /etc/passwd for the user 'sshd',
explicitly setting windows permissions for the cygwin directory to the user
SYSTEM, and verifying the windows registry keys).  None of the proposed
solutions have made a difference.  

I have also tried running it from the cygwin prompt as administrator (after
adjusting permissions on /var/empty accordingly).  This does not work
correctly, either.  If I run it this way, I am back to where I was before -
password authentication fails, even when connecting to localhost as a
non-administrator user who has a valid home directory and valid shell path.

I am out of ideas on this problem.  My current installation of cygwin is in
a completely new directory - I moved my previous installation from
"C:\cygwin" to "C:\cygwin-old" and installed the new one as "C:\cygwin".  

I'm not sure if this is important, but I noticed when I ran 'ssh-host-config
-y' as administrator, it never gave a "CYGWIN=" prompt.  I haven't found a
good explanation for this behavior, either.  

This is "OpenSSH_5.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8h May 2008" on cygwin from setup
2.573.2.2.

thank you
Lee Parsons

Re: perl-5.10.0-4 -> perl-5.10.0-5 update appears to break DateTime

Bad side-effect with a third party module in site_perl.
Strange that I didn't see this in my tests, because I tested over
thousand CPAN modules with this release.
Oh, I see, I reported that it failed on June 5.

$ cpan DateTime
requires DateTime::Locale

DateTime::Locale cannot be installed because of this error,
but since you upgraded perl we have to fix DateTime::Locale now.

Oops. This seems to affect more modules.
Params::Validate with type => SCALAR seems to be broken.
  http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Params%3A%3AValidate

I have to go now, but will provide a patch soon.
As workaround I would disable the validation in DateTime::Locale::_register
but this also doesn't work as expected.

if (! defined $p{id} or !$id) {
# cygperl5 error in Params::Validate?
#warn "Broken Params::Validate. Given ".join(",",@_);
$p{id} = $_[0];
$p{en_language} = $_[1];
my @keys = qw(en_script en_territory en_variant native_language
native_script native_territory native_variant class replace);
for my $i (2 .. @_) {
$p{$keys[$i]} = $_[$i];
}
}

In order to install Cygwin without a reboot (and a message asking you to
close running Cygwin processes), you need a remote shell not based on
Cygwin.  That said (or perhaps notwithstanding), did you see?

Hmm.  That page tells people to rsync from a mirror.  I don't see any
reason to do that when you can use rsync from cygwin.com directly.

Was that just to save on sourceware.org bandwidth?  If so, I don't think
this is an issue anymore.

There is no yum, apt, up2date, etc. You don't need VNC. RDP is already 
on XP machines. Use rdesktop(1).
