> But some bash does match the pattern:

It's possible that the behavior has changed between bash versions, but
the behavior is not Cygwin-specific.  3.2.17 on OS X also suppresses
metacharacters with quotation marks, and the documentation indicates
that this is the expected behavior. See

http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Conditional-Constructs

Under [[...]],  third paragraph: "An additional binary operator, ‘=~’,
is available [...] Any part of the pattern may be quoted to force it
to be matched as a string."

Not a Cygwin question.; that fails in any bash.  The quotes suppress
the special meaning of ^ and make it try to match literally.  Lose
them:

if [[ "$target" =~ ^a ]]; then

CM_Setup2.log | grep -E -f "C:\Log\FindDeploymentErrors_Error.txt" -n

If I use above command to search patterns in  CM_Setup2.log, the

It seems it is overwriting one pattern results with next pattern

I need the all pattern search results in same file i.e., cc.txt.

Why bash failed to match this pattern?

[Pan ruochen]

Hi All,

My current version of bash on cygwin failed to match this pattern:
***
target=ar
if [[ "$target" =~ '^a' ]]; then
echo Matched
else
echo Unmatched
fi
***

$bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(21)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The older version of bash can match the same pattern before I upgrade cygwin.
What is the possible reason?

  This is the same problem we experienced with file-5.0.whatever-it-was just a
little while ago.  There is an old bug in ld thst emits relocs that shouldn't
be there when compiling a DLL; these relocs then end up getting turned into
invalid addresses by rebase, which has no reason to believe there's anything
incorrect about them and probably nothing it could do even if it did.

  If you build with fresh binutils from CVS head, the created DLL doesn't have
the problematic reloc.  We're rushing out a new binutils release just as soon
as PR977 can be resolved.

GCC --enable-auto-import problem

In cygwin 1.7:

1. download db-4.7.25 from oracle at

2. configure like : ../dist/configure --prefix=/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7
--enable-cxx --enable-pthread_api
3. make, it will take you a few minutes
4. write a program like :
#include 

int main( void )
{
       Db db( NULL, 0 );
       return 0;
}

5.compile like :g++ -o t test.cpp -L/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7/lib
-ldb_cxx -I/home/Bambo/db-for-1.7/include
will compile and link ok with information:

Then everything goes fine.

The subversion code base has some hacks to retry various file operations 
to work around this issue. These hacks are enabled for a Windows build 
but not for Cygwin. I've attempted to port these hacks to Cygwin, but I 
may have missed an error code or three, thus not retrying some errors 
that should be retried.


I just uploaded a new version of Subversion for 1.5 with a fix for the 
retry patch. I had missed a case when moving files.


Are you using Cygwin 1.5 or 1.7? I have disabled this hack in the 1.7 
build because I was hoping 1.7's more robust file renaming and deleting 
code would come to the rescue.


It turns out that these problems still occur with 1.7, although less 
frequently, so I've also released new Subversion packages for 1.7 with 
the updated retry patch added.

A new version of subversion is now available for download. This

I've restored the local patch to retry failing filesystem
operations, which a fix to also retry failing moves. This is
necessary to address problems due to other Windows components hold
files or directories open (e.g., virus scanners).

There were two test failures with Cygwin 1.7. One was related to
packing an FSFS filesystem. The other problem was that tests hung
using the serf HTTP library. This package still includes support for
serf, but if you encounter problems, please switch to the neon
library.

That's with the "Meta sends Escape" option off, where Meta sets the
highest bit of the character instead of prefixing it with escape. That
only works with plain old 7-bit ASCII though.

Consider it a bug. I tried to do something too clever with AltGr in
mintty-0.3, but it didn't really make sense, so I gave up on it for
0.4. (Partly because afaik, the Win32 interface doesn't even give you
a way to find out whether a keyboard layout actually has an AltGr
key.)

So MinTTY is now back to standard AltGr == Ctrl + Alt behaviour. It
first tries the Windows keyboard layout, and if that comes back
empty-handed, it sends the Ctrl+Alt-modified keycode such as ^[^A. If
the keyboard layout does have an AltGr keycode, you can use
Ctrl+Shift+A instead to get the ^[^A code anyway. That's non-standard
though, and not exactly obvious.

One approach that would make some sense is to not consult the keyboard
layout for Ctrl+LeftAlt combinations (since the AltGr key is always on
the right). Trouble is, some people do use that to get AltGr codes for
keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard.

Michael Kaplan, Microsoft internationalisation expert and author of
the MS Keyboard Layout Creator utility, has had a long-running feud
with the MS Office team about this whole sorry topic, e.g.:

http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2006/04/17/577196.aspx

Xwin, however, does manage to treat AltGr as a completely independent
modifier key, so I had a look how it does that. Turns out it's got a
rather interesting hack that ignores LeftCtrl key messages if they're
followed by a RightAlt message with the same timestamp. That doesn't
seem to be entirely reliable though, according to this post earlier
today:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-06/msg1.html

Advice on what to do about this whole problem welcome.

Andy

Well, you can never be SURE. I'd be surprised tho. I use AVG 8.5, which

machinery just like other BLODAs (although I've turned that off for my

cygwin-1.7 shell and watch it die, and immediately run automake from a
cygwin-1.5 shell in the same directory and it succeeds...so if it's a
BLODA, it's got a jones for cygwin-1.7.


I'm having similar problems with Avast 4.8 Home Edition on Windows 7 RC 
x64 with cygwin-1.7.  I never had a problem with this A/V on XP with 1.5 
or 1.7.  This continues even after rebaseall and peflagsall.  I have yet 
to try removing Avast.



In any event, since the remap problem happens in violation of everything
MS says ASLR is supposed to do, I blame Vista (or maybe
possible-BLODA-interfering-with-ASLR directly, not with cygwin itself).
I can inspect the new (randomized) base addresses of the ASLR-marked
DLLs after each reboot by looking at running processes using the
sysinternals process viewer.  They are (a) random and (b)
non-overlapping. But when the "*** failed to remap" occurs, I can
inspect the hung process and sure enough, foo.dll is loaded in some
strange place in memory that is NOT where ASLR promised to put it (and
there is no obvious conflicting DLL loaded where foo.dll was supposed to
go).


Leave it to MS to mess us up again...

Re: Cygwin SSH Multiple Users

Holikar, Sachin (ext) wrote:

Hello,

Thanks for the info Corinna but ultimately we aint able to start the service 
somehow. And only way to start is to start with the user mac using 
/usr/sbin/sshd.
But then no other user can connect via ssh to this machine. The work around we 
provided was copiying the ssh public keys of the user say admin and then
connecting from remote machine using ssh -l mac winxp and then admin gets the ssh access as mac. 
But now the requirement is to be able to login as different users to this machine and we are stuck up. Really confused what went wrong.

Any hint will be much appreciated.


Once you've started "sshd.exe" from the command line as come non-privileged
user (and this includes the Administrator account or members of that group
in this context), you won't be able to start "sshd.exe" as another user
(even as "SYSTEM" on XP) without changing the ownership of many files
that "sshd.exe" uses/needs.  See the email archives and/or the contents of
'ssh-host-config' for details.  Also, it is quite expected that "sshd.exe"
running as a non-privileged user cannot switch users with public key
authentication.  That's why "ssh-host-config" sets up "sshd.exe" to run
under the privileged "SYSTEM" account on XP.  If you don't want to do this
for some reason, you should read the openssh readme in
'/usr/share/doc/Cygwin' for the required privileges of the user running
"sshd.exe" that would permit this.  Of course, doing this really puts you
in the realm of "you know what you're doing" so you may not get allot of
willing responses from queries to this list with problems you have if you
go this route. ;-)

One more thing that you should be aware of:
  - The filename of a Windows shortcut is of the form .
  - The filename of a symbolic linkis of the form .
So if you create the link in the same directory as the shortcut,
you will clobber the shortcut.


This is, of course, true by default with the current Cygwin release (1.5).
In the next (1.7), the default changes so there is no worry of clobbering
the Windows shortcut with "ln -s".

Everybody likes a little trivia, right? ;-)

That wouldn't precisely be an issue when using the -F option:

-F, --fixed-strings
Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings, separated by newlines,
any of which is to be matched.  (-F is specified by POSIX.)

However, it is a good point nonetheless since, if the .txt file contains
\r\n line endings the \r may be interpreted incorrectly.

Hi All...

I have seen the same thing between two windows XP machines. Always the first ssh
connection after a long period of no ssh activity would hang and subsequent ssh
connections would be fine. From my experience the problem was associated with 
the
server host, not the client host. I was always running the same Cygwin version 
and
OpenSSH version on both machines when it happened.

It seemed to be more frequent on some (slower? older?) XP laptops. Whenever I 
had
time to debug it, it worked fine, so I never did more than the tests in this 
thread. The
technology to detect that is impressive :-)

After significant use, I have not seen this problem with Cygwin 1.7 (on XP) and 
I have
not seen this problem with (newer? faster? Vista?) machines.

Thanks,

...Karl

It starts, although doesn't work well. The keyboard bindings are weird

kill-emacs).
I'm sure this was discussed already.

You need to have 'tty' in your CYGWIN environment variable in order to
prevent this from happening.  But even then, you'll find that many
keystrokes don't work as expected.  If you want to run emacs in a
terminal (rather than under X), you'll get much better results with
mintty or rxvt.

But none of this addresses the OP's original problem:


emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined.

My guess is that this is a terminfo issue.  Try installing the terminfo0
package.


Getting back to this, I already have terminfo0 installed.


In that case, I don't know why emacs isn't recognizing the cygwin 
terminal type.  It does for me.  But I don't think it's worth investing 
a lot of time in debugging this, since, as I said before, emacs doesn't 
work well in the Cygwin console anyway.


A better option would be to make a shortcut that runs mintty or rxvt 
with a command to start emacs.  Even better, since you already have an X 
server running, you could use something like the following (which is the 
way I usually start emacs when I have an X server running):


$ cat bin/startemacs.bat
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin-1.7
SET RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run
SET PATH=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%PATH%
%RUN% bash -l -c /usr/bin/emacs&

The target of my windows shortcut is then

  D:\cygwin-1.7\bin\run.exe D:\cygwin-1.7\home\kbrown\bin\startemacs.bat

Thanks for the quick response Dave.

I understand about the primary use of Cygwin.  I also like to use it to test
code through the GNU compiler in addition to the Visual C one. Since I also
use Eclipse for Java, it's convenient to use it for C++ as well for this
type of testing.

I'll look to see if the Eclipse CDT folks have an answer.

If your patterns end with "$" to anchor to the end of a line, and one
file has DOS/Windows line endings (\r\n) while the other has unix line
endings (\n), the patterns will not match.

See what the following says.
$ file DeploymentErrors_Error.txt CM_Setup2.log

Getting back to this, I already have terminfo0 installed.

I tried Marc Girod's emacs.bat script from an earlier reply, but it doesn't
work for me because I already have an X server running.  What I really need
is something that gives me a regular separate Windows decorated frame, with
Emacs running inside.  I get that out of the box with XEmacs, but some
things work a little better in GNU Emacs, so I'm trying to get that working.

doesn't cause any problems on my cygwin-1.5 installation under Vista,
nor on XP. Nobody has ever reported it as a BLODA before, AFAICT.  It
does do on-access scanning, which means it hooks in to the file-access
machinery just like other BLODAs (although I've turned that off for my
cygwin-1.7 and -1.5 trees, not that doing THAT would make any difference
to a true BLODA).  What I can't figure out is, if AVG were at fault, why
it would always "attack" my cygwin-1.7 tree, but never interfere with my
cygwin-1.5 tree on the same disk.  I can even run automake from a
cygwin-1.7 shell and watch it die, and immediately run automake from a
cygwin-1.5 shell in the same directory and it succeeds...so if it's a
BLODA, it's got a jones for cygwin-1.7.

I'll check the following AGAIN when I get home...
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-04/msg00307.html

In any event, since the remap problem happens in violation of everything
MS says ASLR is supposed to do, I blame Vista (or maybe
possible-BLODA-interfering-with-ASLR directly, not with cygwin itself).
I can inspect the new (randomized) base addresses of the ASLR-marked
DLLs after each reboot by looking at running processes using the
sysinternals process viewer.  They are (a) random and (b)
non-overlapping. But when the "*** failed to remap" occurs, I can
inspect the hung process and sure enough, foo.dll is loaded in some
strange place in memory that is NOT where ASLR promised to put it (and
there is no obvious conflicting DLL loaded where foo.dll was supposed to
go).

  Sorry about that.  Primarily the goal of cygwin is to provide a linux-like
environment and linux-like behaviour, and from that point of view the ability
to switch the system default compiler was something that was a deficiency
while it was missing.  We don't go out of our way to break other usages such
as an external win32 app trying to launch a cygwin app from a non-cygwin
environment, but we can't always make everything compatible with win32 at the
expense of linux compatability.  I am surprised you're having problems though,
as with /bin in the windows PATH and invoking the particular compiler by name
it should all "just work".  (Yeah... famous last words!)

  It might also be possible to use "cygstart" as a wrapper to launch the plain
"gcc" shortcut and even take advantage of the "alternatives" wrapper from
within your applications, although I can't promise.

You need to provide 1) cygcheck output as mentioned here:

and 2) an actual test case which demonstrates the problem.

I concur; this is not within the realm of gcc to handle by itself.

There are a number of GTK+ packages which include windres .rc files, but 
it takes all sorts of automake hacking to do it (all within an 
AM_CONDITIONAL, of course).  As for packages which don't use autotools, 
good luck.  Either way, we don't want to go that route.

Re: side effects after installing gcc-3.4.4.999

[enovack]

Actually, I thought of that just after I hit send on my last post. :-(

I then tried doing just that on Netbeans 6.5.1, and that fixed the issue.

On Eclipse it did not. Or at least not yet. I have not been able to
configure Eclipse 3.4 CDT plug-in to recognize the complete Cygwin
environment. I did get it to actually build the app, but it has issues
running and debugging. 

So, still experimenting.

It's just a pain since this used to work on my old laptop, which had a
previous version of cygwin installed.

Best,
Eileen

One more thing that you should be aware of:
  - The filename of a Windows shortcut is of the form .
  - The filename of a symbolic linkis of the form .
So if you create the link in the same directory as the shortcut,
you will clobber the shortcut.

Re: side effects after installing gcc-3.4.4.999

[enovack]

I have not seen this mentioned in this list. Please forgive me if I just
missed it somewhere. 

I'm having a similar issue with trying to get the GNU g++ and gcc compiler's
to work with Eclipse and Netbeans. Both report that the file is not valid or
not found when compiling a C or C++ file.

I have just downloaded the latest production release of Cygwin and installed
the complete dev environment. I'm running 64 bit Vista SP2. I have the
cygwin\bin path added to my DOS path.

Has anyone gotten the latest Cygwin to work with Netbeans or Eclipse? 

I was able to get older version of Cygwin to work with both Netbeans and
Eclipse in the past just by setting up the DOS path to include
C:\cygwin\bin. Now I see that the gcc.exe and g++.exe are links, which I now
assume are not working properly in a DOS environment. Which of course is
needed by both Eclipse and Netbeans.

Eileen

[1.7][BUG] MOJIBAKE title bar

[IWAMURO Motonori]

Hi.

The title bar is MOJIBAKE when the following 'wintitle.sh' works on
command prompt in the UTF-8 environment (for example:
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8).

http://vmi.jp/tmp/wintitle.sh

http://vmi.jp/tmp/01good-mintty.png is the good result on MinTTY.
http://vmi.jp/tmp/02bad-cmd.png is the bad result on command prompt.

Thanks.

Did you read http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html?
Does it help?  I assume that cygstart itself isn't yet locale-aware.
This is all quite new.  Give us package maintainers a bit of time.

At a first glance that looks good.  I'm not aware of anything else
besides of the executable bit.

Btw., in the long run it would be cool if gcc would be able to generate
executables with inline manifests using just a command line option.
First of all, we would get rid of the extra manifest files, and second,
copying such an executable to another dir wouldn't show surprising
results.  And, no, I have no idea how to generate inline manifests :}

Indeed...
I am using the cygwin version, and it is 0.15-1.
I can look into the option of building from sources...

Re: Tool equivelent for rundll32.exe "user32.dll,LockWorkStation"

Stick with it.  A Cygwin tool could do nothing above that.  If you
really want a Cygwin tool, just write your own:

#include 
#define WINVER 0x0500
#include 

int main ()
{
  if (!LockWorkStation ())
{
  fprintf (stderr,
   "%s: Can't lock workstation.  Win32 error code %lu\n",
GetLastError ());
  return 1;
}
  return 0;
}

[Xwin 1.7]: copy from rxvt-x to windows application does not work

[Frédéric Bron]

Hi,

If I run rxvt-x (1.5 or 1.7) with Xwin (1.7), when I select something
in the terminal output and then type Ctrl-V in any Windows
application, this does not work. Some application say that the
clipboard is like corrupted. Sometimes, if I type Ctrl-V several
times, after a while, the text is pasted.

If I use Xwin 1.5 or rxvt-native it works fine (with rxvt version
either 1.5 or 1.7).

Any clue for that?

Frédéric

grep -f option is not working in release of grep (2.5.3-1)

[Tulasi Ram]

Hi

In the latest release of grep (2.5.3-1), the -f option
(read search patters from a file) is not working for me.
I have tried to search by providing pattern file.

I have tried by using below command. It didn’t work.

grep -F -B 10 -A 0 -f FindDeploymentErrors_Error.txt CM_Setup2.log

Please let me know if any alternate method

Thanks.
