GNOME on cygwin
I'm a little confused about GNOME on Cygwin. Cygwin installer claims to have a whole GNOME section, but I can't find basic applications like gnome-terminal or gnome-text-editor. Google shows there are ports of GNOME for Cygwin; but then why does the installer have a GNOME section that only seems to have libraries and bitmaps?

Some nice programs that rely on pieces of Gnome are installable with Cygwin. Since they require bits and pieces of Gnome those pieces get installed. Example. When I run setup.exe and select Lilypond (for printing sheet music) 3 additional items get automatically selected on my system. If I deselect them I get Warning!

You don't get gnome-terminal because no one has ported it. Understanding this, I checked the Cygwin/X FAQ. I saw 10.1. Is there a list of software that has been ported to Cygwin/X?

That's not entirely true since, as you mentioned below, there are ports out there (Cygwin Ports being the most comprehensive and a better source for all-that-is-Gnome).

The biggest difference is packages in the Cygwin distribution are maintained and cygwin.com supports them. This cannot be said for other sites. cygwin.com is not a loose collection of ported software brought under one roof by an installer.

Lots of programs rely on those libraries, but no program relies on all of them. As you port a program you may also need to port libraries that it requires, and a LOT of the time, those libraries are going to be part of GNOME. Actually, GNOME has gone on a diet over the last few years, obsoleting entire libraries and moving similar but improved functionality into a smaller set of libraries. Also remember that every single library is packaged separately, unlike KDE (where kdelibs cannot practically be split up). Still, the distro is around ten to fifteen libraries short of providing the dependencies for the vast majority of GNOME programs. Since there are already in Ports, why aren't these in the distro? I already maintain a proportionally large number of the distro packages, and there is legitimate concern that having too many packages maintained by one volunteer would lead to a difficult situation for the rest of the distro if said volunteer were to leave the project for whatever reason (a seemingly inevitable situation in community-run FOSS projects). OTOH, I do feel that Cygwin would be a much better product with the GNOME and KDE libraries and applications commonly found in Linux distros, and I've lost count of how many people struggle to build things which are already available for, but not shipped with, Cygwin. Personally, I think it would benefit RH to actually hire people to focus on Cygwin as a distribution (Corinna's focus is on newlib/winsup). But then again, that's probably just wishful thinking on my part (currently looking for work). KDE is similar, although perhaps not quite as massive as GNOME. Having built and used both, I would disagree, but I don't want this to become a GNOME v. KDE flame war. Many of the other desktops were developed specifically to avoid the huge overhead of GNOME and KDE. But of course, as soon as you install a program built on one of those foundations, you need to pull in the associated libraries, and take the associated performance hit. That depends on what you mean by GNOME and KDE: the desktop, or the applications? While these and other desktops can be built for Cygwin -- and I have done so in the past, mostly as proof-of-concept (and the obligatory screenshots) -- they tend to be awfully slow (due to IPC?) and IMHO rather unnecessary on Cygwin. For instance, I run XWin in multiwindow mode, a partial-length fbpanel on screen top, and the dozen-or-so (mostly GTK/GNOME) apps which I use on a daily basis. If, like me, your focus is running applications, then you need the GTK/GNOME and Qt/KDE libraries; with the exception of Xfce, the other desktops don't provide anything additional for programs. GNOME is also undergoing a huge change. It probably wouldn't make a lot of sense to put a great deal of effort into a GNOME port at this point in time when the whole GNOME world will change in a few months. GNOME 3.0 isn't architecturally as big of a change as the version would indicate. Because GLib/GTK+ development is in-house, they have very wisely made the transition gradual and smooth, whereas KDE had no choice but to break things in 4.0 because Trolltech had done so between Qt 3 and 4. Furthermore, GNOME 3.0 just got pushed off until next spring, so this fall's release will be a more ordinary 2.32, with only a preview of GTK 3.0 and friends. That leaves enough time to justify continuing with the non-deprecated parts of 2.x, should we so choose.

It's a bug. Cygstart uses cygwin_conv_path to convert to a Windows path, which produces UNC paths for network paths. Trouble is, the ShellExecute API, which is used to do the actual opening, doesn't appear to support UNC paths. Cygpath already turns '\\?\UNC\' at the start of a path into plain ol '\\' (unless the resulting path would be longer than MAX_PATH, in which case the UNC path is mandatory). Mintty does the same thing when a file is opened with Ctrl+click. So cygstart would need to do the same. And mkshortcut too (because the APIs involved in creating shortcuts have trouble with long paths too). Basically, any program that passes a path converted with cygwin_conv_path to Windows APIs might have this issue. It's a shame that not even the official Win32 APIs are always clean in terms of the long path name definition. Therefore I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to address this once and for all in cygwin_conv_path itself by doing what cygpath does: assuming the resulting path fits into MAX_PATH, drop \\?\ from all long paths and turn UNC\ into \\. This is already implemented in cygwin_conv_path for some time, but only for the CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_A case. I never expected that this would also be necessary for the wide char case. Anyway, I applied a matching patch. As long as the resulting wide char path is not longer than MAX_PATH, it will be stripped of the long path prefix.

incompatible environment variable names
I came across an interesting (IMHO) incompatibility between
Windows and bash environment variable names.
I have a Windows environment variable as such:
C:\set QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH
QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH=C:\Program Files\Orbital Qnx VisualC++ IDE
So, Windows has no problem with + symbols in variable names, but
bash does, kinda sorta:
Cygwin printenv QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH
C:\Program Files\Orbital Qnx VisualC++ IDE
Cygwin cygpath $QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH
++_PATH
Cygwin echo $QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH
++_PATH
Cygwin echo ${QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH}
Cygwin cygpath $(printenv QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH)
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Orbital Qnx VisualC++ IDE
Cygwin
So, it seems that I can only access the value of the variable
through printenv, and then cygpath does what I need, but I can't
then assign it back to the environment variable:
Cygwin export QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH=$(cygpath $(printenv
QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH))
-bash: export: `QNX_VISUAL_C++_PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Orbital Qnx
VisualC++ IDE': not a valid identifier

I probably need to give up on this, but felt like sharing my misery.

Re: About mouse selection in a cmd console
On 2 August 2010 12:05, JOHNER Jean 066030 wrote: Note that, when 'Quick Edit' is not checked, right click to access to Mark is not enabled when you launch Cygwin.bat (why?). Because Cygwin's console driver sets the ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT flag on the console (using SetConsoleMode(), see also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686033.aspx). This flag ensures that mouse events, including right clicks, are placed into the console input buffer rather than triggering window actions. That's in case an application activates xterm-style mouse reporting. Yep, the Cygwin console driver does indded support that, but vim doesn't know that, so you need to tell it via .vimrc: set mouse=a set ttymouse=xterm2 3/ Launch Cygwin.bat in a 'Quick Edit' cmd console, put set mouse=a in .vimrc then type vi file1. Result: file1 is opened. When you click somewhere in the file, the vim cursor is NOT moved. In the same way, you cannot select a word to delete it nor select a range of lines to do some specific operation. That is the reason why I wrote that mouse selection does not work in a bash cmd console. Apparently quick edit mode overrides mouse input mode, so the console driver never gets to see those mouse events. 4/ If you have Window vim installed (in C:\Program Files\vim\vim72\vim.exe) and launch a cmd console (without launching Cygwin.bat), using vim file1 opens file1. Clicking somewhere DOES move the vim cursor. With quick edit mode enabled? It might be (temporarily) disabling that.

The environment is converted by the Cygwin DLL, not by bash. And, even
though the '+' character is *theoretically* allowed in a POSIX
environment variable name(*), neither bash nor tcsh(**) handles it
transparently as part of a variable name. This is *not* a Cygwin
problem(**).

Accentuation added by me:
[...]
Environment variable names used by the utilities in the Shell and
Utilities volume of POSIX.1-2008 consist solely of uppercase letters,
digits, and the underscore ( '_' ) from the characters defined in
[ASCII] and do not begin with a digit. Other characters *may* be
permitted by an implementation; applications *shall* tolerate the
presence of such names.

Re: incompatible environment variable names
Greetings, Nellis, Kenneth! Well, *somehow* it got into the Cygwin environment, and cygwin.bat directly invokes bash, so I interpret this as bash creating the Cygwin environment. Where is the hole in this logic? Even windows itself creates environment variables inaccessible through CMD. Still, they are available to running programs. On another edge, TC(ex. 4NT) shell support variables that not actually environmental, rather - status variables related to current shell state or recently happened events. There's no logic, just usefulness. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 04.08.2010, 23:18 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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: How to pass parameters to a windows application
On 4 August 2010 12:26, Corinna Vinschen wrote: It's a shame that not even the official Win32 APIs are always clean in terms of the long path name definition. Yep, and MSDN doesn't even seem to mention it. Therefore I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to address this once and for all in cygwin_conv_path itself by doing what cygpath does: assuming the resulting path fits into MAX_PATH, drop \\?\ from all long paths and turn UNC\ into \\. This is already implemented in cygwin_conv_path for some time, but only for the CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_A case. I never expected that this would also be necessary for the wide char case. Anyway, I applied a matching patch. As long as the resulting wide char path is not longer than MAX_PATH, it will be stripped of the long path prefix. Great. Seems to be working fine for me. This allows dropping the equivalent hack from cygpath, doesn't it?

Re: Some key binding in Emacs not properly work in mintty.
Andy Koppe wrote: Yet there's no obvious reason why this shouldn't work in xterm and mintty. The Shift-Up keycode follows the same pattern as the ones for the other Shift-Arrow combinations. This suggests a configuration problem, or perhaps a terminfo issue. Unfortunately I don't know enough about emacs to try to diagnose this. See if it still happens when you start emacs with 'emacs -Q -q' (doesn't load any config files). If it doesn't happen any more, it's an emacs config issue and you go through a long process of excluding different parts of your config until you find it :) -- Gary Non-kook (allegedly) -- 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: zsh-4.3.10-1 zsh-4.3.10dev2-1
An updated version of zsh (zsh-4.3.10-1) and the latest development drop (zsh-4.3.10dev2-1) has been released and should be at a mirror near you real soon. These are upstream releases. NOTICE: === Version 4.3.10 was released in late 2009, but had been failing on several of the regular tests under Cygwin. I've been waiting for a newer release to come out to hopefully address these issues, but to date no newer release had materialized. However, recently Zsh released the latest Developer drop so I felt it was time to finally release 4.3.10 for Cygwin. I've built the original 4.3.10 (with its flaws) as well as the newest Developer drop (4.3.10-dev-2), which has many fixes since 4.3.10, but also has several flaws. I've set the Developer release as the Test release and should you have problems with 4.3.10, I encourage you to try the Test release instead. I have noticed some strange cases where hangs sometimes happen with subshells and file re-direction. If you encounter these, please report them with a test case. As with the 4.3.9 release, these releases of Zsh are built with FIFO and Multi-byte/Unicode support enabled. See Announcement for 4.3.9 for additional details. NEWS: = == 4.3.10 == - Additional fixes for multi-byte support. - Fixes to prompt handling and zle. - Fixes to file completion. - VCS_Info fixes. - Various internal bug fixes. - Lots of completion commands updated == 4.3.10dev2 == - Fixes to if processing. - Fixes to MONITOR and INTERACTIVE modes. - VCS_Info fixes. - Lots more completion commands updated. See ChangeLogs for full details. ChangeLogs: http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/zsh/ChangeLog-4.3.10 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/zsh/ChangeLog-4.3.10dev2 DESCRIPTION: Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor. Of the standard shells, zsh most closely resembles `ksh' but includes many enhancements. Zsh has command line editing, builtin spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and a host of other features.
