Third-party Cygwin distributions like copssh aren't supported here. /usr/share/terminfo isn't used by the Cygwin DLL, so the DLL version (1.7.2 vs 1.7.5) is irrelevant here. It is used by ncurses though, and the terminfo database format has changed fairly recently.

They're hexadecimal ASCII codes representing the first character of the terminal type. '63' is ASCII for 'c', as in 'cygwin'. '78' is 'x' as in 'xterm'.

I would tend to agree with Klaus on this point. The "setup.exe" name is too generic. If I'm examining my downloads directory with a non-graphical tool (let's say something like "ls" :-) ) then it is not obvious the setup.exe file is associated ith Cygwin. I'm not a fan of "cpm.exe" for two reasons. 1) CPM already has a history as an operating system so using that name would have the potential for confusing the users as well as opening the project to possible trademark/copyright infringement issues. 2) When I'm doing an "ls" of the directory containing "cpm.exe" it is only slightly more obvious than "setup.exe" what the application is. With modern file systems, command line completion, and GUI file managers there is little reason to shorten the name down to its initials. "CygwinPackageManager.exe" communicates clearly what the program is without any further need of explanation.

Re: Cygwin visual brand
It sounds nice that there is a movement to brush up the graphic design of the Cygwin web pages. I have used Cygwin for a couple of years, but on this list I am just a newcomer. I hope it is ok to leave a few comments which you *might* consider. I liked the proposal of David Eisner (http://cygwin.codecamel.com/). At least it solves some of the problems with the current main page (http://www.cygwin.com/) I have experienced: First, the current main page contains three occurences of the Cygwin icon. Two of them has text Install Cygwin now and one has text Install and update now! So since the text is different, I would expect different things to happen when clicking "Install Cygwin now" and "Install and update now". That is solved in David Eisners proposal by having only one occurrence of the icon. And thanks for omitting the exclamation mark. Second, I have found myself searching for a 'Download' link. And I got very ashamed when I found out it was all over the site and was even highligted using the Cygwin icon. I think David Eisners proposal solves that by having one big Cygwin icon rather than three small ones. Third, I have had problems with the description of the download link. It says "Install Cygwin now" or "Install and update now". But it should say Install Cygwin and/or install packages and/or uninstall packages and/or upgrade packages and/or downgrade packages and/or keep the whole system up to date except that the wording could be different and hopefully more terse. In the proposal of David Eisner it says "Install/Update Cygwin 1.7.1-1". So where should I click if I have Cygwin 1.6.something? Or if I need a new package? Fourth, the most important program in the Cygwin system is named "setup.exe". I suppose that name has a historical justification. But it would be nice if it was called something Cygwin related. In conclusion, I suggest a new term is invented such as the Cygwin Package Manager (CPM) or something like that. Then one could simply write Cygwin Package Manager under the Cygwin icon and then explain in the text that: The Cygwin Package Manager (cpm.exe) can install Cygwin and manage Cygwin packages. Among other, it can install, uninstall, upgrade, and downgrade individual packages. It can also install and upgrade the entire Cygwin system and keep the system up to date. By the way, it would by nice if CPM could also uninstall Cygwin. It sends the message that you are confident in your system if you make it easy for users to uninstall it. And it smells suspicious to provide software without an uninstaller. Fifth, I associate Cygwin with the green color of the Cygwin icon, but the dominating color of the page is the RedHat-red banner at the top. To me it would be more logical to have a green banner to tell that this *is* Cygwin and to have a RedHat-red red hat e.g. next to the banner or in some other highly visible place to tell that this is *related* to RedHat. Sixth (and last, I promise) I have noted that GNU+Cygnus+Windows=cygwin is written in a very big font at the top of the page as if that equation was the most important message of the page. The equation makes a good point, but I think it would be more logical to have Cygwin in a big font and GNU+Cygnus+Windows in an anekdote font size after the Cygwin name.

You could try setting the VM's boot configuration to include the /3GB and /PAE switches, but that only might help gain a bit more headroom; the fundamental 32-bit-ness of Cygwin (and hence all Cygwin applications) would take probably something up to a few person-years of work to change. cheers, DaveK -- 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

Well, I doubt that the process has forked here, so you probably won't be getting the double-pseudo-relocs problem we just found, but you should probably test with the latest cygwin snapshot just to be sure. Assuming, however, that that will probably not help, your best bet might be to step through "global constructors keyed to msh3.cpp" and see what it's calling; figure out what object it thinks it's constructing when it gets to "_fu952__TheOperators", and follow it into "Polymorphic::Addp" to see where it goes wrong.

If you're asking if Cygwin is mysteriously deciding to report on a path like " F:\winsux\prg\apache-maven-2.2.1/boot/" then the answer is "No". This is not a Cygwin bug.

It demonstrates an ability to use primitive and CONCISE represntations for information - captures the essence without the extraneous junk. Today we are seeing lots of bloated things cause disruptions- bw wasting apps killed ATT with iPhone for example- and trying to do anything with windoze always seems to stick you with waste that actually makes automation harder- like replacing ssh with remote desktop. If pointing could replace a tractable alphabet and elaborate cave drawings could replace equations and computer code I may agree with you but you don't want to obscure the raison d'etre of the site.

There have been some proposals about this recently: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/113958 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/116969 I thought the second looked pretty promising. I'm not sure exactly what the procedure would be for settling on a new site design, but I guess it would come down to convincing Christopher and Corinna, with input from the community, that the new design is an improvement. I'd like to hear their opinions, but my guess is that a new design that's simple, standards-compliant, attractive, and keeps something close to the current logo would have a good chance of being accepted. My view is that the site is overdue for a redesign, and we should take up one of the generous offers to help develop it. As the maintainer of the gold stars page, I can tell you that it's a foul mess. That's a separate problem from the overall site design, but it would help me to take it on if I knew that we had a new CSS-driven site design coming online.

Beautiful things work better. Even if the new design I couldn't agree more, and I wholeheartedly support your proposed efforts. I'm not a designer, but in my opinion the importance of high-quality graphic design and visual branding is often under-estimated.

You missed that my non-old function is bugged. And so did I :(
The last case (plain path) shall become:
# Plain path or options.
case "$1" in
[-+]* ) # Option
if [ $slashed_opt = 1 ] ; then
param[${#param[*]}]="${1/-//}"
else
param[${#param[*]}]="$1"
fi
;;
Which can be used this way:
$ cyg-wrapper.sh /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/runas.exe --slashed-opt
--cyg-verbose=2 -user:pipo "$@"
However, a little bit more work is necessary.
The first argument to the function/alias shall be tested. If it is found in
$PATH, it shall be left unchanged, otherwise, it shall be translated as well.
Or just always translated with $(which $1) may be.

changing the VM size in cygwin.
Hi All, We are running a server on cygwin (on windows 7 , 64 bit , 6 GB RAM ), it used to run fine with Linux environment. It is crashing on cygwin when client access the huge memory. We found on debugging that huge memory allocation causing the crash: _buf = new char[array_wid] where array_wid is 1GB. So it is finding difficult to get huge continues memory in cygwin. We tried changing the heap memory using regtool command, regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 4096 regtool -i set /HKCU/Software/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 4096 we got above information from : http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html After that we tried to get the memory allocation limit, code is given in the same link. We are getting only 1596 MB. Windows machine having more VM size, around 6GB we can see that in process explorer, but cygwin is not transferring that to environment. looking for the help for increase the VM, or any solution/suggestion ? And also we also tried Rebuilding the our application with high stack size, -Wl,--stack,8388608 , didn’t give any hope :( We also tried with ulimit –v option , and we are not able to change the vm size , it says 2 GB is the MAX! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/changing-the-VM-size-in-cygwin.-tp28511180p28511180.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: {emacs,emacs-X11,emacs-el}-23.2-1
New releases of the emacs, emacs-X11, and emacs-el packages are now available, 23.2-1, leaving 23.1-10 as previous. CYGWIN NOTES There is a known bug in the cygwin build of emacs, which affects emacs functions like display-time. See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README for details and a simple workaround. Install the emacs-X11 package if you want to use the X11 GUI. You can then type 'emacs&' in an xterm window, and emacs will start in a new window. With this release I have switched to the GTK+ toolkit. If you run emacs in the cygwin console, be sure that your CYGWIN environment variable (http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html) contains tty. This release includes a script, /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut, that can be used to create a shortcut for starting emacs. The shortcut starts emacs under X if an X server is running and in a mintty window otherwise. Edit the shortcut and/or the script if you want different behavior. You will need the cygutils package to run the script, and you will need mintty and run2 to use the shortcut. In addition, the user who runs the script needs to be able to write to /usr/local/bin. EMACS NEWS == This is a new upstream release. See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ for a summary of new features. You can also use the command 'C-h n' within emacs to browse the NEWS file. DESCRIPTION === Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news, and more without leaving the editor. 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.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: tesseract-ocr-2.04-1 et al
tesseract-ocr, a command line ocr package, been added to the cygwin distribution. The Tesseract OCR engine was originally developed at HP between 1985 and 1995. It was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005 and Google has lead further development. The Tesseract OCR engine was one of the top 3 engines in the 1995 UNLV Accuracy test. Between 1995 and 2006 it had little work done on it, but it is probably one of the most accurate open source OCR engines available. It will read a binary, grey or color image and output text.

MS-DOS path warning with maven
Hi! I have cygwin 1.7.5 (up to date as of now) on Windows XP Pro SP3 and maven v 2.2.1. When I start mvn from a shell (I use mintty running bash): i get a warning: cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: F:\winsux\prg\apache-maven-2.2.1/boot/ Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/f/winsux/prg/apache-maven-2.2.1/boot/ CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning. Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames I found it strange, since maven is cygwin aware and should use cygwin paths.
