Fixed in svn. If you want to give it a try:

svn checkout http://mintty.googlecode.com/svn/branches/0.6 mintty-0.6
cd mintty-0.6
make

I was having trouble coming up with a sed command to convert all the version

/etc/setup/installed.db and built a batch file to call setup.exe with the -P

I really appreciate everything that you have done.

This registry trick seems like it will do the job. Essentially the only
thing that it seems to be missing is using the right font.

I will try this out.

Re: gcc: building gcc-4.5.0 for Cygwin

[Jerry DeLisle]

Paul Bibbings wrote:

Whilst I do use the versions of gcc available as Cygwin packages, I have
also successfully built from source and used other versions.  Most
recently I have added gcc-4.4.1, 4.4.3 and a 4.5.0 snapshot (end of Feb
2010).  I configure them to build and install in /opt/gcc-{version}. I
then incorporate these into the `alternatives' system and switch using
$alternatives --config gcc/g++ etc.

This has worked fine in the past, but with the recent release of
gcc-4.5.0 I have encountered a problem:

   17:59:37 Paul bibbi...@jijou

   gcc version 4.5.0 (GCC)

Unlike with my builds for gcc-4.4.1 and 4.4.3, say, this build has
dropped a string of .dlls into /opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin:

This now means that there are path issues for running applications built
with gcc-4.5.0 and there are certainly entry point failures:

   19:19:14 Paul bibbi...@jijou

   gdb: unknown target exception 0xc139 at 0x77d69eed
   During startup program exited with code 0xc139.

if the runtime sees the corresponding .dlls in /usr/bin first.
Prepending /opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin to the PATH get's round this, of course.
But now it's not as simple for my alternatives configuration: it works
for the build, but now it looks like I might need to control the runtime
too. 


My thought is to investigate incorporating the relevant .dlls into the
alternatives system, but before doing that I'd like to check out if
this sounds feasible.  Currently I have symlinks in /usr/bin for things
like gcc and g++, with:

   /usr/bin/gcc -> /etc/alternatives/gcc
   /usr/bin/g++ -> /etc/alternatives/g++

and then:

   /etc/alternatives/gcc -> /opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin/gcc.exe
   /etc/alternatives/g++ -> /opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin/g++.exe

Can I, then, do the same with the .dlls in question?  Is it possible,
for instance, for .dlls to be loadable via symlinks under Cygwin? E.g:

   /usr/bin/cygstdc++-6.dll -> /etc/alternatives/cygstdc++-6.dll

   /etc/alternatives/cygstdc++-6.dll ->
   /opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin/cygstdc++-6.dll
   [after $alternatives --config gcc, selecting gcc-4.5.0]

Or are there other options to consider?  My aim is to be able to
continue to switch between implementations using `alternatives' alone,
if that is at all possible, and to not have to think about changing and
reverting paths.

Have I perhaps configured/built this incorrectly?



I have not had any problems building with Cygwin 1.7 on WinNT or Win7.  You do 
have to make sure you have the mpc complex math library installed.  Other than 
that I have had no problems.

I don't have a syslogd-config.  Ok.  So I installed inetutils.  Now I have a 
syslogd-config which I have just run.  And I have started syslogd.
After setting up syslogd, I still see an empty /var/log/cron.log and 
/var/log/messages.

I am not sure what sshd has to do with cron.  In my case sshd cannot run as the 
cygserver user because it must be a domain user.

Your yes and no responses do not match what cron-config asks me:

lemon:/$ cron-config
Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ ]

You must decide under what account the cron daemon will run.
If you are the only user on this machine, the daemon can run as yourself.
   This gives access to all network drives but only allows you as user.
To run multiple users, cron must change user context without knowing
  the passwords. There are three methods to do that, as explained in
  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1
If all the cron users have executed "passwd -R" (see man passwd),
  which provides access to network drives, or if you are using the
  cyglsa package, then cron should run under the local system account.
Otherwise you need to have or to create a privileged account.
  This script will help you do so.
Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) no

Were the passwords of all cron users saved with "passwd -R", or
are you using the cyglsa package ? (yes/no) yes
The cron daemon will run as SYSTEM.

Running cron_diagnose ...
... no problem found.

Do you want to start the cron daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
OK. The cron daemon is now running.

In case of problem, examine the log file for cron,
/var/log/cron.log, and the appropriate syslog file
for information about the problem cron is having.

Examine also any cron.log file in the HOME directory
(or the file specified in MAILTO) and cron related files in /tmp.

If you cannot fix the problem, then report it to cyg...@cygwin.com.
Please run the script /usr/bin/cronbug and ATTACH its output
(the file cronbug.txt) to your e-mail.

WARNING: PATH may be set differently under cron than in interactive shells.
 Names such as "find" and "date" may refer to Windows programs.

lemon:/$

It appears that cron-config decides to run cron under the SYSTEM account 
because I indicated that I was using cyglsa.

If I do a "passwd -R", cron will work.  But I don't want to do a "passwd -R".  
I am forced to change my password every 60 days.  Then I would have to go to 
every cygwin box and change the password there as well.

Hi,

I should perhaps modify cronbug to use "tail" with cronevents, but it's unusual 
to see
a report that cron is broken yet there are 46000 lines in the log!
I assume cron used to work, then something happened and it stopped working.
Or there is something special about the tschutter account.
Can you identify the "something" ?
Any difference between the lemon and the others?

It's  most likly not a cron problem, but something to do with cyglsa. I have 
never
used it, don't have a system like yours to test and there is no such previous 
report.
So not sure what to recommend.
Does password-less ssh work for tschutter ?
If you can't identify the "something", you could try to strace cron on the lemon
and on another machine. Here is the recipe.

Stop the cron service.
Use a simple crontab that runs every minute, for only one user.
Using cygrunsrv, create a new service runing "strace" with argument "cron" 
under SYSTEM
1)  cygrunsrv -I trace_cron -p /usr/bin/strace -a /usr/sbin/cron
2)  cygrunsrv -S trace_cron
3)  Let this run for no more than 2 minutes, output will be in 
/var/log/trace_cron.log
 You may have to use kill -9 to stop the service (kill the cron pid)
4)  Send the trace_cron.log file as an attachment.
5)  Remove the trace_cron service
Restart cron

I forgot to mention that I had read and I think I understand

That is why I indicated that sshd was running as the domain user 
fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr.
That is why I listed the user rights for that user.
That is why I indicated that the fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr user is in /etc/passwd.

Yes all of var/empty and all /etc/ssh* are owned by fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr.

So yes, I am suffering from that FAQ.  But AFAICT I have done all that the FAQ 
asks.  What do I do now?

group membership problems with ssh PubKey

[Tom Schutter]

This is a problem that I am having with all of my 1.7 installations.

If I bring up a local shell and list my group memberships:

lemon:~$ groups
Domain Users Administrators Users FDSV-DL-FASS FDSV-DL-Proxix FDSV-GG-Bugzilla 
FDSV-GG-FASS FDSV-GG-Jabber FDSV-GG-Nagios FDSV-GG-PrxAAPCAdmins FDSV-GG-PrxBLD 
FDSV-GG-PrxPCAdmins FDSV-GG-ShareFASSSharedRW FDSV-GG-ShareFwiseLF 
FDSV-GG-ShareFwiseRO FDSV-GG-ShareImages3RO FDSV-GG-ShareResourcesLF 
FDSV-GG-ShareResourcesRO FDSV-GG-TikiDev

Notice that I am a member of the Administrators group.  This is because I am a 
member of the FDSV-GG-PrxBLD group, which has been added to the local 
Administrators group.

Now if I login via SSH using PubKey authentication and list my group 
memberships:

lemon:~$ groups
Domain Users Users FDSV-DL-Proxix FDSV-GG-Bugzilla FDSV-GG-FASS FDSV-GG-Jabber 
FDSV-GG-Nagios FDSV-GG-PrxAAPCAdmins FDSV-GG-PrxBLD FDSV-GG-PrxPCAdmins 
FDSV-GG-TikiDev

I am a member of the FDSV-GG-PrxBLD group, but not the local Administrators 
group.

I am using cyglsa.

I am not using cygserver.

sshd is running as the domain user fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr.  These are the user 
rights for that user:

lemon:~$ editrights -l -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr
SeCreateTokenPrivilege
SeTcbPrivilege
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege

The fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr user is in /etc/passwd:

lemon:~$ grep fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr /etc/passwd

I have blanked any password stored in the registry by specifying a blank 
password to "passwd -R".

I have read and I think I understand http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html

It looks to me like this is an issue of being an "indirect" member of the 
Administrators group via the domain FDSV-GG-PrxBLD group.

Re: cron error can't switch user context

[Tom Schutter]

I have attached cronbug.txt as per the cron-config instructions.

Note that the original cronbug.txt was over 5MB.  I edited cronbug.txt and 
removed 46000 lines of cronevents output.  Is there any way of cleaning out old 
cron entries from the event log?

That would be cool.

This not so much.  Do you realize how 25 years of Ctrl-D gets imprinted
into your brain?  I have a Ctrl-D tattoo on my cerebral cortex...

cron error can't switch user context

[Tom Schutter]

I have number of machines running Windows2003 and Cygwin 1.7.5.  On most cron 
works.  But on one (lemon) it does not.  It appears that on lemon cron cannot 
switch the user context.

Cronevents on lemon shows:

2010/04/15 17:19:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 656: (tschutter) CMD 
(/usr/bin/python /cygdrive/f/production-sync/production-sync.py)
2010/04/15 17:19:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 656: (CRON) error (can't 
switch user context)

/var/log/cron.log is empty on all machines.

The cron daemon is running as SYSTEM on all machines.

cyglsa is running on all machines.

cygserver is not running on any machine.

I have rerun cron-config, rebooted, etc.

I have searched the net, but most solutions seem to involve Cygwin 1.5 and no 
cyglsa.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Actually there is a way to change to a font not normally available in
the console properties without changing the "Language for non-Unicode
programs". It requires registry hacking though. See
http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-cmd-add-font.html

I see. Lucida Console and Consolas don't contain glyphs for Chinese or
the other East Asian languages. In non-console programs such as PuTTY,
Windows automatically substitutes glyphs from appropriate fonts, but
for some reason it doesn't do that in the console. Nor does it allow
you to switch to fonts like SimSun or MingLiU, unless, that is, you
change the system's "Language for non-Unicode programs" on the
Administrative tab of the Region&Language control panel to Chinese.

Hope that helps,
Andy

Phew, not quite as bad as the title suggested.

This will be due to the hack for telling AltG from Ctrl+AltGr
(which is needed because Windows sends AltGr keypresses as
simultaneous Ctrl and Alt key events). Hopefully I'll find a way to
fix this without breaking something else again.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: parrot-2.2.0-1 New: rakudo-201003-1 (aka perl6)

[Reini Urban]

I updated the parrot and rakudo packages from 0.8.2 to 2.2.0-1 in the 
Cygwin distribution. rakudo switched to date versioning for the monthly 
releases, so that's 201003 now, the april release on the horizon.


This is not from any branch of mine anymore, with only minimal patches.

Canonical homepage:
  http://www.parrot.org/

Canonical download:
  http://www.parrot.org/release/current

My repo:

http://code.google.com/p/cygwin-rurban/source/browse/#svn/trunk/release/parrot

I had most of the missing parrot and perl6 packages between 0.8.2 and 
2.2.0 ready and uploaded some to my server, but decided not to release 
it until now for the following reason.
* My previous parrot packages could be installed easily, that means you 
didn't need to download from svn and build from source to create or 
maintain any other language. Most of these patches weren't accepted 
upstream, parrot decided somewhen to install needed -devel files into 
/usr/src/parrot possibly overwriting the parrot src package downloaded 
via the cygwin package. I gave up on this now.
* pbc_compat was given up. That's why I stepped down as committer. 
Something is planned for 3.0 though.


There are so many news since 0.8.2, please swift through the various 
Release Notes at http://www.parrot.org/category/news/news.
It got not faster though, had a massive step in passing perl6 spec tests 
(http://www.rakudo.org/status), many more features were added, some removed.


Note that parrot-2.2 is API-wise unstable.
I did not get rakudo matching the last *stable* parrot 2.0 working, so I 
went to 2.2 instead, which worked.


parrot-languages is gone. Previously I tried to keep up with parrot-pipp 
but that needed massive parrot patches. Only rakudo went up to be 
installable. The former languages are not in the parrot svn repo 
anymore, so they need seperate package and releases anyway. I'll try to 
keep up adding prominent languages when the opportunity arises. But 
since the pbc format is not forwards and backwards compatible and 
changes often, you need the exact matching parrot release. This will be 
tricky.


Packaging Details:
* I obsoleted libparrot0 and libparrot-devel and went to the simplier 
layout parrot and parrot-devel.
* parrot-devel installs into /usr/src/parrot/. Do not delete 
this if you want to compile languages, like perl6.

In assignment, there is no field splitting, so "" is redundant; this is

Please just go to the mingw64 forums and ask your questions there.  This

But do You know, this mingw64 only can compile for x86_64 or run such

And does mingw64 work under win32?

mintty: Doesn't know about CTRL key

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi Andy,

I'm more and more using mintty for everything (shell, admin shell,
heating my food, you name it).  However, there's one thing which
constantly is in the way.

Consider you have more than one mintty window open.  A typical use case
for me is to have one shell open under UAC and the other one with admin
rights to test to test something.  Then I want to close both ttys and
test again with another Cygwin DLL.

So I press Ctrl-D twice, without lifting my thumb from the Ctrl key.
The first mintty window closes just fine.  The second mintty window does
not close.  Instead, it behaves as if I had pressed the 'd' key alone.
So I have to BS and then press Ctrl-D again to exit the second shell.

Apparently the second mintty window doesn't recognize the fact that the
Ctrl key is still pressed.  This does not happen with two console
windows, neither in tty, nor in notty mode.

Is there a chance to fix this in mintty?


Thanks,
Corinna

No, it's not possible currently.  The Cygwin dll and all of the binaries
in the distribution are 32-bit.

>If not, then how is it possible to do?

If you don't need the POSIX layer that Cygwin provides then google for
mingw64.  That is a native toolchain which produces 64-bit binaries.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you're out of luck unless you can fund development
of a 64-bit Cygwin.

>And will be this cygwin installation work on another PC by simple folder

Barring any running services, yes.  If you are running a service like
openssh then you need to reconfigure the other PC.  But it's still
32-bit.

Nothing above points to this being related to Cygwin.  Could you elaborate

Instead of Chinese characters I get the rectangle box that looks like [] but 
without the gaps.

Programs affected so far are the command prompt and filenames.

The OS that cygwin is running on is Windows 7 32bit English - using the Chinese 
Traditional language pack.

64 bit applications

[Andrew P.]

Dear Sir!

I didn't find on FAQ and mailing list the answer on question:
Is it possible to compile from sources for x86_64 architecture (and will 
it be the default architecture) and then run this application via cygwin 
installation from cygwin.lilengine.com with all products selected under 
Windows XP x 64 Edition (and under win32)? If not, then how is it 
possible to do?
And will be this cygwin installation work on another PC by simple folder 
copy (and, for example, from win32 to win64)?


Thanks in advance.

What exactly is coming out as rectangles, i.e. which letters do you

./ns command not WORKING AT ALL!!!

[novice_246]

hey good morning im doing a project for college and we have to be using
cygwin Network Simulator. Now First of all we i installed in and ran the
command ./ns example1b.tcl and the window come up with the copyright info
blocking the simulator. Finally firgured out how to exit that but the window
cant be re-sized are anything. which is a problem when we have to be
building complex networks. So now i installed it again and run the command
./ns example1b.tcl to see if it is working and the NS would not appear. it
is giving me the following message:

[...@jdffhjk ...usr/bin]$ ./ns example1b.tcl
 When configured, ns found the right version of tclsh in
/home/dukat/ns-allinone-2.28/tcl8.4.5/unix/tclsh
but it doesn't seem to be there anymore, so ns will fall back on running the
first tclsh in your path. The wrong version of tclsh may break the test
suites. Reconfigure and rebuild ns if this is a problem. 
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 7)
invoked from within
"finish"

plz help me fix this because this project is very important also the resize
and exit buttons that are located in the top right corner are not there so i
cant resize the window so if anybody can help me fix that it would be much
appreciated.

Re: Setup, update thyself

I invoke setup through a little helper script that updates setup.exe
in case there is a new version on the server.

wget.exe --timestamping http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
runas.exe /user:%USERDOMAIN%\Administrator setup.exe

Auto-update would have a nice touch to it, though.

I actually meant the output of cacls for the file on your local disk :)

Anyway, the strace output shows that a sharing violation occurs.  There's
another process accessing the file, and that other process opened the
file with one of the sharing flags, probably FILE_SHARE_DELETE, not set.

I assume that's your virus scanner.  In theory I would shrug that away
as a BLODA problem, but I have one or two ideas how to fix this problem.
It might help in a couple of cases where BLODAs are involved.

May I send you a link to a test Cygwin DLL via PM?

I created a file with the same permissions as noted above and I tried to
rsync onto the USB stick which I prepared with the same permissions
(Everyone: Full control) and with the stick mounted "noacl", and rsync
still works fine for me.  It's puzzeling, but this could really be a
Symantec issue.

And please add the output of `cacls the_file'.  It's more exact to
show the ACL than the GUI.

Ok, so you're admin.  I assume that `id' lists the administrators
group in your supplementary group list?

Ok, so no UAC.

Not really.  So, with the above permissions, rsync fails but mv works,
right?  What's important when using mv is to mv the file within the
same filesystem.  Rsync does not fail to copy the file to the USB
stick.  It fails when trying to rename the copied file on the USB stick
from its temporary name (.file.foo) to the desired target name.  This
renaming is what we have to check for.  So, what das mv say when you
try to just rename the file?  What if you cp the file to the USB stick
and then try to mv it to another name there?

Can you please create an strace rsyncing just this single file with
the failing permissions?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-5.5p1-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've just updated the Cygwin version of OpenSSH to 5.5p1-1.

This is a new major upstream release.  The Cygwin release is created
from the vanilla sources.  It contains one Cygwin-specific change
which hasen't been mentioned in the official release message:

* The ssh-host-config script usually writes an "ssh" entry into the
  Windows' /etc/services file.  The code didn't work correctly in all
  circumstances if case-sensitivity is enabled on the system (see
  
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive).
  This has been fixed in the ssh-host-config with this release.

The official release message of 5.5p1:


OpenSSH 5.5 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their
continued support of the project, especially those who contributed code
or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots or donated to the project.
More information on donations may be found at:
http://www.openssh.com/donations.html

This is a bugfix release.

Changes since OpenSSH 5.4
=

 * Unbreak sshd_config's AuthorizedKeysFile option for $HOME-relative paths

 * Fix compilation failures on platforms that lack dlopen()

 * Include a language tag when sending a protocol 2 disconnection message.

 * Make logging of certificates used for user authentication more clear and
   consistent between CAs specified using TrustedUserCAKeys and
   authorized_keys

Portable OpenSSH:

 * Allow contrib/ssh-copy-id to fail gracefully when there are no keys in
   the ssh-agent. bz#1723

 * Explicitly link libX11 into contrib/gnome-ssh-askpass2. bz#1725

 * Allow ChrootDirectory to work in SELinux platforms. bz#1726

 * Add configure.ac stanza for Haiku OS. bz#1741

 * Enable utmpx support on FreeBSD where possible. bz#1732

 * Use pkg-config to determine libedit linker flags where possible. bz#1744

Re: rsync: rename .file.JVPk8f -> file: Device or resource busy (16)

They are all .exe files! most of them were created from cygwin using g++.

>  Is UAC enabled?  Elevated or non-elevated shell?
Access control via Active Directory. No idea about elevation (do not
know that). I am listed in the administrator group of the main machine
I use (corporate PC).

In fact since I formatted the disks in ntfs, I have used them on only
one PC (the one used to format the disks). On that PC, I am listed in
the Administrators group. It is rare that I plug the USB disk on
another PC. When it is the case, it is with a different account and
different windows version.

> Is the drive formatted with all permissions for Everyone?
Yes, I removed all other permissions (system, administrators, user,
creater...) and left only Everyone with full control (at the root).

> Which OS are you using, btw?
Windows XP SP3

> Since the error occurs apparently in rename(2), it should be possible

No issue with mv on the same files!

> Do you run a anti-virus/anti-malware program which might interfere here?
Yes I use Symantec. No idea if it is an issue. It was not when my
disks were formatted in fat32.

Thanks for that.

I identified one file that was permanently failing to be saved had the
following permissions on my hard drive:
- Administraors: full control
- Domain Users: Read&Execute, Read
- MySelf: Modify, Read&Execute, Read, Write
- SYSTEM: full control
- Everyone: Read&Execute, Read
- Users (computer\Users): Read&Execute, Read

I added full control to my-self on the local hard drive and then rsync
worked fine. On the USB disk the remaining ".file.exe." has full
control to everyone and only this which is fine.
I then removed again the full control to my-self on the local hard
drive and rsync failed again.

Any clue?

Thanks again,
Frédéric

RE: Cygwin does not have unicode support however FileZilla displays unicode

In cygwin's console window I switched it like you said but it comes out as 
rectangles "[]".
However it works great in putty.

Is there anything else I can do with cygwin's console window to show unicode 
properly?

Thanks!
