We'll need to hang on to peflags for now, but I'll certainly add the relevant option to the linker spec for next time round. (We should probably send a patch to that effect upstream as well.) Do you want to delay the release for this? It will take about a fortnight to do a respin. I was planning to start a new spin rolling in the background basically as soon as I've uploaded this version (just to add the missing patch for pr38579), so 4.3.4-2 could follow equally as quickly as it would take me to respin 4.3.4-1 and fix both these issues in the same timescale without delaying the initial rollout, if you think that's ok. cheers, DaveK

Re: Pulling the switch on GCC4.
Dave Korn wrote: 4.3.4-1 will be ready to upload as soon as I've finished updating the README, run the cygport packaging step, and test-installed the packages. Glad I did that. It doesn't work on 1.5, owing to it having detected the availability of stpcpy() in 1.7 and linked against it when I compiled it; 1.5 doesn't export the function so we get a dll load fail error at startup (STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND or however it goes). So this is going to be a 1.7-only release. Since 1.5 is going to be with us for some time, I'll do a 1.5 build of the -2 release, but as long as I'm doing that anyway, I have the opportunity to reconsider whether to not throw the switch for 1.5. So, now the time/work factor is taken out of consideration and it's essentially for free, does that change the balance of anyone's preferences? cheers, DaveK
Re: Path problem with xterm
- Original Message - From: Mike Ayers If you set PATH absolutely in .bash_profile, the right thing will happen. You may want to copy the initial value of PATH into another exported env var, so that you can see if there have been changes to the default path. Hi Mike. If I can find some time this week, I'm tempted to give this a try but I don't quite understand how it would work. Are you saying that an absolute path in .bash_profile will somehow override the other paths? Or that it will somehow prevent the various other scripts from adding their own entries? Or will I still have to track down all those other files and edit them anyway?

Could we have a 3.0.1-2, please? Or a 3.0.x whatever. I recall that
there were some other problems, but those related with upstream code.
I'll probably bump into them in the new few hours :(
Also, as a sidenote, It's very disturbing finding that I'm the only
syslog-ng cygwin user in this 6+ months!?
At least I've no other explanation why no one else had problems with
syslog-ng...

My conclusion is as follows as a result of hearing other Japanese people's opinion: LANG=ja - UTF-8 LANG=ja_JP - UTF-8 Because, we specify eucJP explicitly when we need it. Hmm. That's an interesting point. In theory this sounds like a good idea to be used for all locales which don't specify the charset explicitely, because that results in using the same charset, UTF-8, for all such locales. C, ja or en_US would all default to UTF-8. The downside is that a user, who needs to work under the default ANSI codepage for some reason, has to know the name of the default ANSI codepage. Right now any user who needs the default ANSI codepage can simply set LANG to some language code and go ahead, without having to know the number. With your solution, that wouldn't be possible anymore and the user would have to figure out the default ANSI codepage on the system before being able to use it. I honestly don't know if that's really a problem, though. But I don't want to take that feature away for now. Anybody having a strong opinion on this issue?

Dynamic disk volume question
I'm running cygwin 1.7. I have two disks, both defined as dynamic disks under Windows. The first disk has two partitions, a regular 20GB partition and a second partition that is part of a spanned volume as part of the dynamic disk capability. The second disk has just one partition that is part of the spanned volume. The utility diskpart shows the spanned volume under the list volume command. I can assign a drive letter but then I can't write to the raw device via dd once the drive letter is assigned. dd can only write if there is no disk letter assigned. Under /proc/partitions the underlying partitions are shown correctly. That is, there is a /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sdb1. Is there a way to directly access the spanned volume either using the GLOBALROOT method or other means? If I can use GLOBALROOT, how do I know which volume maps to each partition under GLOBALROOT? I'm trying to restore a dd capture of the dynamic disk spanned volume which was captured using a shadow copy of the original. I found some old references to this issue back in 2004 in the mail archives (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg00101.html) but couldn't find out the special device name assigned to dynamic disk spanned volumes.

ftp from Win98 in command-only mode?
I need an ftp client that runs on an Intel x86 machine running Win98 SE that has been booted into mode 5 (Command prompt only). Can cygwin provide this? This is on a lab data-acquisition machine with old D-to-A hardware and software that will only run from Win98 booted into command-prompt mode. Upgrading would be too expensive. At the end of every day, I need to back up the data. I can do it now if I boot full Win98. Since that's pretty slow, I'd rather just ftp from the Win98 command line. It's possible that our IT guy is capable of setting up an ssh/scp server that I could access.

RESOLVED: Dynamic disk volume question
In order to reference raw dynamic disk partitions I had to do the following. This only works under XP. Under Windows 7 it appears that the HarddiskDmVolumes no longer exists and I could not find its equivalent. - Map a drive letter to the dynamic disk volume of interest (I recommend you use diskpart) - Launch winobj.exe (from SysInternals) and then browse under GLOBAL?? to find out the shortcut that this drive letter maps. It will be something like /Device/HarddiskDmVolumes/SERVERNAMEDg0/VolumeX where SERVERNAME is the name of the server where the Dynamic Volume was created and X is a number (e.g. Volume1). This tells you the volume number to use. - Remove your drive letter assignment. I recommend using diskpart, select the volume and then enter remove all - Now you can access the raw partition by referencing //?/GLOBALROOT/Device/HarddiskDmVolumes/PhysicalVolumes/RawVolumeX where X is from the second step. So using dd might look something like this: dd if=/cygdrive/f/imagename.img of='//?/GLOBALROOT/Device/HarddiskDmVolumes/PhysicalDmVolumes/RawVolume1' There must be an easier way to know what raw volume is what, maybe some way to get the available disk space or something similar? You can probable even do an ls on it to determine if it is the one you want. You can probably access the raw partition without removing the drive letter too. I did this just to be safe. This method gives you a viable way to restore images to dynamic disks using dd and cygwin. I'm still wondering how this works under Windows 7...so if anyone knows, please post!

I don't want the 1.7 install to change anything in my existing 1.5 install, as I need my 1.5 functional for other purposes.

The 1.5 setup.exe selects many more packages outside the Base category by default and that's the difference you are seeing. As an aside I like this current behaviour: I have bandwidth constraints and problems with packages interfering with each other and so find it handy to start with a small core Cygwin and add the stuff I need. I don't know how to extract what the default packages are from the old setup.exe: I suspect it's all the Base category packages plus others from a list compiled into the binary though I'd be happy if someone could correct me on that. I notice that setup-1.7.exe has a command line interface with an option to select packages to install. It doesn't appear to be working yet. I sure hope it is a future feature because it would be just the ticket for this issue: compile a list of packages you want to be in your default install and then you could reproduce it at will.

On 09/28/2009 10:31 PM, Chris Cormie wrote: I don't think you are doing anything wrong David. setup-1.7.exe appears to default to just the Base category packages. The 1.5 setup.exe selects many more packages outside the Base category by default and that's the difference you are seeing. There should be little difference in how 'setup.exe' works for 1.5 vs 1.7. The determination for what's installed by default has not changed, though the overall number of packages and size may have changed somewhat. As an aside I like this current behaviour: I have bandwidth constraints and problems with packages interfering with each other and so find it handy to start with a small core Cygwin and add the stuff I need. I don't know how to extract what the default packages are from the old setup.exe: I suspect it's all the Base category packages plus others from a list compiled into the binary though I'd be happy if someone could correct me on that. No, that's not true. See above. I notice that setup-1.7.exe has a command line interface with an option to select packages to install. It doesn't appear to be working yet. I sure hope it is a future feature because it would be just the ticket for this issue: compile a list of packages you want to be in your default install and then you could reproduce it at will.

Re: Compiling id3v2

I downloaded, compiled and installed libid3http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/ with no issues. Actually, your issue is id3lib, see below. My first attempt to compile id3v2 failed due to errors in the makefile which were fixed by using this patch from gentoo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131700 I then saw the following errors when I tried to compile: $ make c++ -L/usr/local/lib -pedantic -Wall -o id3v2 convert.o list.o id3v2.o genre.o -g -lz -lid3 /usr/local/lib/libid3.a(utils.o): In function `_ZN24_GLOBAL__N__Z8mbstoucsSs9convert_iEPvSs': /home/drbob/id3v2-0.1.11/id3lib-3.8.3/src/utils.cpp:142: undefined reference to `_libiconv' /usr/local/lib/libid3.a(utils.o): In function `_ZN4dami7convertESs11ID3_TextEncS0_': /home/drbob/id3v2-0.1.11/id3lib-3.8.3/src/utils.cpp:196: undefined reference to `_libiconv_open' /home/drbob/id3v2-0.1.11/id3lib-3.8.3/src/utils.cpp:210: undefined reference to `_libiconv_close' /usr/local/lib/libid3.a(io_decorators.o): In function `_ZN4dami2io16CompressedReaderC1ER10ID3_Readerj': /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/bits/basic_string.h:1459: undefined reference to `_uncompress' /usr/local/lib/libid3.a(io_decorators.o): In function `_ZN4dami2io16CompressedReaderC2ER10ID3_Readerj': /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/bits/basic_string.h:1459: undefined reference to `_uncompress' /usr/local/lib/libid3.a(io_decorators.o): In function `_ZN4dami2io16CompressedWriter5flushEv': /home/drbob/id3v2-0.1.11/id3lib-3.8.3/src/io_decorators.cpp:271: undefined reference to `_compress' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [id3v2] Error 1 This was also a makefile problem. Not in id3v2, but in id3lib. id3v2 does not depend on libiconv nor zlib, but id3lib does. Since you only made a static libid3, you would have to add a -liconv -lz to each and every package that links against libid3. A better way of solving this is to build a shared libid3, resolving *its* dependencies at link time. This requires a few patches: http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/media/id3lib/ Or you can get binaries from Cygwin Ports. If you have any questions on these Ports packages, please ask on Ports' mailing list.

Apache2 on Cygwin 1.7 does not start (cygserver is running)
Today I was able to get Apache2 running on Cygwin *1.5* using these instructions: http://www.issociate.de/board/goto/895433/apache2_does_not_start_in_cygwin.html The CYGWIN=server variable was critical. I now have Cygwin 1.7 installed side-by-side with 1.5, and as far as I can tell, the two do not interfere. However, I am unable to launch apache2 in Cygwin 1.7. Initially I followed the same directions, and got this: $ echo $CYGWIN $ export CYGWIN=server $ cygserver-config ... $ net start cygserver The CYGWIN cygserver service is starting. The CYGWIN cygserver service was started successfully. $ /usr/sbin/apachectl2 start /usr/sbin/apachectl2: line 78: 1372 Bad system call $HTTPD -k $ARGV Hmmm. I checked the 1.7 change log and it says that the CYGWIN=server setting is now obsolete. However leaving this out doesn't help either. Note that I made sure I shut down cygserver from 1.5 before I tried it with 1.7, and I also have apache2 configured to listen on different ports, just in case they were both running at the same time (which I didn't allow anyway). So there must be something different with 1.7 that isn't covered by those instructions - does anyone know what this might be, please? -- David. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: The C locale
2009/9/29 wynfield: Though I'm not an up on the details involved here, I will give you feedback to the request for information about the locale issue, because it affects the quick accessability and usage of Japanese language documents. Either of the two follow values would be acceptable, but I feel that the UTF-8 charset is becoming more and more adopted. LANG=ja - UTF-8 LANG=ja_JP - UTF-8 Also the following be suitable if possible.. LANG=ja - iso-2022-jp LANG=ja_JP - iso-2022-jp Thanks for the feedback! Now, Windows knows three different variants of iso-2022-jp. Do you know which one's the preferred one? CP50220: ISO 2022 Japanese with no halfwidth Katakana; Japanese (JIS) CP50221: ISO 2022 Japanese with halfwidth Katakana; Japanese (JIS-Allow 1 byte Kana) CP50222: ISO 2022 Japanese JIS X 0201-1989; Japanese (JIS-Allow 1 byte Kana - SO/SI) Also, Wikipedia has this to say: Since ISO 2022 is a stateful encoding, a program can not jump in the middle of a block of text to search, insert or delete characters. This makes manipulation of the text very cumbersome and slow when compared to non-stateful encodings. Any jump in the middle of the text may require a back up to the previous escape sequence before the bytes following the escape sequence can be interpreted. Doesn't that make it very difficult to use with standard Unix tools?

Re: The C locale
2009/9/28 Corinna Vinschen My conclusion is as follows as a result of hearing other Japanese people's opinion: LANG=ja - UTF-8 LANG=ja_JP - UTF-8 Because, we specify eucJP explicitly when we need it. Hmm. That's an interesting point. In theory this sounds like a good idea to be used for all locales which don't specify the charset explicitely, because that results in using the same charset, UTF-8, for all such locales. C, ja or en_US would all default to UTF-8. Hmm, there's much to be said for that. The downside is that a user, who needs to work under the default ANSI codepage for some reason, has to know the name of the default ANSI codepage. Right now any user who needs the default ANSI codepage can simply set LANG to some language code and go ahead, without having to know the number. With your solution, that wouldn't be possible anymore and the user would have to figure out the default ANSI codepage on the system before being able to use it. How about an explicit ANSI charset that maps to GetACP()? And OEM for GetOEMCP()? Those would make easy replacements for the CYGWIN=codepage:[ansi|oem] option.

Cygwin 1.7 mintty error - cannot run mintty more than once at a time
I've been using Cygwin 1.7 alongside Cygwin 1.5 quite happily for the last few hours, however all-of-a-sudden when I try and run mintty (from cygstart or from a cmd.exe shell) I get a new window with this error message: Failed to create child process: No such file or directory Hitting enter makes the window close. I messed around with this for a while until I discovered something very obvious - I already had a mintty running. It appears that in Cygwin 1.7 I cannot run more than one instance of mintty at a time. In 1.5, I have happily run many, many instances simultaneously. However I can run bash.exe without a problem, and in doing so I tried an strace: ... 115 166255 [main] mintty 4336 tty_list::allocate: tty1 allocated 91 166346 [main] mintty 4336 fhandler_pipe::create_selectable: CreateNamedPipe: name \\.\pipe\cygwin-tty1-from-master, size 131072 144 166490 [main] mintty 4336 fhandler_pipe::create_selectable: pipe read handle 0x6C4 82 166572 [main] mintty 4336 fhandler_pipe::create_selectable: CreateFile: name \\.\pipe\cygwin-tty1-from-master 103 166675 [main] mintty 4336 fhandler_pipe::create_selectable: pipe write handle 0x6CC 85 166760 [main] mintty 4336 fhandler_pipe::create_selectable: CreateNamedPipe: name \\.\pipe\cygwin-tty1-to-master, size 131072 242 167002 [main] mintty 4336 fhandler_pipe::create_selectable: pipe busy 77 167079 [main] mintty 4336 seterrno_from_win_error: /netrel/src/cygwin-1.7.0-61/winsup/cygwin/fhandler_tty.cc:1439 windows error 231 79 167158 [main] mintty 4336 geterrno_from_win_error: windows error 231 == errno 16 73 167231 [main] mintty 4336 __set_errno: void seterrno_from_win_error(const char*, int, DWORD):319 val 16 84 167315 [main] mintty 4336 fhandler_pty_master::setup: tty1629019509 open failed - failed to create (null) 89 167404 [main] mintty 4336 open: -1 = open (/dev/ptmx, 0x8002) 83 167487 [main] mintty 4336 __set_errno: int openpty(int*, int*, char*, termios*, winsize*):128 val 2 Looks like there's a busy pipe that is causing mintty to abort?

Re: Re: Cygwin portable bash
ok, all apologies. I am familiar with mount, but if there is something extra special about how it works w/in cygwin I will check the Users Guide. I appreciate the direction, sorry I misunderstood (thought he was just telling me to 'man mount' and I felt that would be a waste of time since I am already familiar with the general of mount and the different basic linux mount points like bin and / and swap etc). However, I also did not realize I was using an outdated version of cygwin!! Perhaps I should work off of 1.7 instead of 1.5? This sounds like it would probably make things a bit easier. is 1.7 stable enough?

Well, I'm not so sure that that is really a problem... I looked for fstab but couldn't even find one so I'm not sure where the mount table is specified. BUT I don't think that has anything to do with my current problem. I need to 'log in' to bash first. then I'll worry about the cygdrive mount points later. As far as the bin, lib, and root directory / 'mount points' or whatever, the directory structure is the same across all of the windows computers (all running vista). So the bin is always C:\Users\Andy\My Dropbox\cygwin\bin, ..\lib ..\ etc. You get the point. So yea. No progress thus far. :( I think you'd be enlightened if you looked at the User's Guide like Barry suggested. Without the proper mounts set, Cygwin is going to have allot of trouble finding your installation. Reading up on 'mount' will help you understand how to make the mount points the same across all systems you work on, which will likely help you allot. Also note that there is no 'fstab' file in Cygwin 1.5 (though there is in 1.7). So that's another reason why you want to know about 'mount' and not waste any time with 'fstab' (on Cygwin 1.5). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
