You've got these swapped. pid == 0 means child, 0 means parent (so that
it directly has the PID of its child and can later call waitpid()).
You later wrote you've issues with the path; does the same happen if you
use fork rather than vfork? vfork()ed child processes must not do
anything but modify a variable of type pid_t, call _exit() or exec*().

Re: vfork always fail problem
I's the problem of the fork() pass a wrong program path to CreateProcessW.
It shoud pass a GBK code pathname to CreateProcessW but if I set
LANG=en_US.UTF-8, the pathname passed to CreateProcessW is UTF-8, so
CreateProcessW report file not found.

Using main() from a shared library in Cygwin 1.7
Hi, I have an application, which links with a shared library (fairly common situation :)). This shared library provides the main() function. This approach works well on Linux/Solaris machines, but on Cygwin 1.7 I get the following link error: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o):(.text+0xa9): undefined reference to `_winm...@16' I created my shared library with: g++ -c -fPIC main_in_shared.cpp g++ -shared -fPIC -o libmain_in_shared.dll.a main_in_shared.o And finally: g++ -fPIC -o app app.cpp libmain_in_shared.dll.a, which fails...

Anyone interrested in a package manager?
Hi All, I've read the mailing lists and found some posts back in 2003 talking about porting apt to cygwin. I'm going crazy needing to use the installer every time I forgot to install a program, and also dealing with version upgrades and conflicting versions. The installer.exe is also clunky when it comes to selecting in batch etc. It would also be great to make your own repos and update cygwin locally from the repo, like the setup.exe 'local install' does, but then command-line based. So I'm wondering if there are any news on this front.

Windows 7 file permissions and ls -l
I have an odd occurrence on my Win 7 x64 system with Cygwin 1.7.5. When I create files, I may set the permissions to 644 or 755. However, after a period of time, I went to edit one of those files in vi and it said that the file is read-only. I did an ls -l and was shocked to find that many of the directories have been changed to d- and files to --, which I did not do. The only way that I can change those permissions is to open an rxvt/bash window in administrator mode and then chmod, even though I am listed as the owner. I don't see a pattern to which files get changed and which are left alone. Is anyone else having this windoze automagic permission change scenario and does anyone know what to do to stop it?

Of course, I have to admit that it has to be written, and this is much work (for which I do not have time), so I do not complain. I had started trying to split setup.exe into a front-end (GUI) and back-end. I did it some years ago.

Re: Running old cygwin.dll under Windows 7
On Thu, 15 Apr 2010 23:56:41 +0200, Hussein Patwa Wrote: Apologies for what is probably such an obvious question, but some of the utilities I wish to use do not support the latest cygwin dll. However, I tried running the legacy setup but Cygwin will not start, with the Windows 7 Subsystem for Unix complaining of invalid applications and .pif files. I assume you're clicking on the link on the desktop and getting this error. This is just because at the very end of the setup, cygwin makes a shortcut to the cygwin shell on the desktop. However, it uses some obsolete (to windows 7) file format to create the shortcut, so Windows 7 does not recognize it. Just go to c:\cygwin (or wherever your cygwin root is) and right-click-drag the Cygwin.bat file to your desktop and select create a shortcut here, and everything will work fine.

Re: strftime %b is broken on ja_JP locale
On Fri, 14 May 2010 21:27:16 +0200 Corinna Vinschen said: It should return 5\u6708 in Japanese and 5\uc6d4 in Korea. MSDN in Japanese describes so. It, however, returns 5 in both locales. Can you please tell us the number of the knowledge base article saying so? There is only a Japanese article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/library/cc422084.aspx This article says GetDateTimeFormat returns 1\u6708, 2\u6708, and so on for the format string MMM with the use of LOCALE_SABBREVMONTHNAME. Does this really only affect the lcids 411 and 412? As far as I know, Yes. -- Kazuhiro Fujieda fuji...@acm.org -- 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:cron visual output looks funny
On Sun, 02 May 2010 16:25:07 +0200 Johannes Müller Wrote: I installed and use cron on windows xp using cygwin. It works fine for non-GUI applications, but for instance notepad does not seem to start at all. And a popup-window-script I wrote in python does appear and react to userinput, but is not displayed ... I think the reason you're getting no replies is because people are perplexed at why anybody would be trying to run GUI apps from cron. You see cron is _normally_ used to run background jobs that have no direct output or at most put a little bit of output to a logfile. For example, these are the kinds of things people might normally put in a cron: * Back up data (databases, modified software code, research data, twiki contents, etc) * Optimize a database (after hours) * Roll logfiles * Send you an email about which friends' birthdays are coming up in the next month. But generally, never ever graphical apps. I'm not saying it isn't possible; it sounds like you found something on a Ubuntu mailing list about it. But it is highly unusual. And people are going to jump to the conclusion --correct or not-- that you are doing something really stupid and they want no part in helping you. So perhaps you can indicate what you're trying to do that you think you want cron for. And if it's good, people will say oh, I see and try to help. And if it's not good, people will also probably try to help you by steering you to something more appropriate to your needs.
