Packaging of libraries
I'm working on packaging rtorrent for Cygwin. To that end it requires libtorrent and libsigc++. My question is, for libtorrent and libsigc++, I need to split the dll and the developer packages (obviously), but do I also need to split the devel package and separate out the documentation? For example, I'm thinking: libsigc++-2.2.8-1.tar.bz2 (DLL) libsigc++-2.2.8-1-devel.tar.bz2 (headers, import libraries) libsigc++-2.2.8-1-src.tar.bz2 (source) libsigc++-2.2.8-1-doc.tar.bz2 (Required? - HTML documentation, tutorial) Please let me know, thank you.

It's your decision as maintainer. I would suggest a different layout, though. You're somehow missing the fact that DLLs have versions and that you might have to provide a newer version of the runtime package at one point. So a layout like this seems to be more prudent: libsigc++/ libsigc++-2.2.8-1.tar.bz2 (HTML documentation, tutorial, etc) libsigc++-2.2.8-1-src.tar.bz2 (source) libsigc++20/ libsigc++20-2.2.8-1.tar.bz2 (DLL) libsigc++-devel/ libsigc++-devel-2.2.8-1.tar.bz2 (headers, import libraries) Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat

If *libtool* is warning you about this, it is because you haven't told libtool that you BELIEVE that the lib has no undefed symbols. If you don't tell it that (LD_FLAGS+=-no-undefined), then it won't even try to build a shared lib. This is so you get a warning, instead of a failure, when compiling libs which actually DO have unresolved symbols; because you ought to be able to compile THOSE as static libs after all, without dying. -- Chuck

Weird text highlighting / cut paste problems
Hi, I have just upgraded my Cygwin/X installation on Windows XP SP3 from the pre-release 1.7 to 1.7.5-1 and am now having problems with cut and paste. I am starting Cygwin using the following commands : CYGWIN=server XWin -nodecoration -silent-dup-error export CYGWIN # Make sure XWin is ready to accept connections before proceeding while (( $(checkX -d $DISPLAY -t 12) )) ; do sleep 2 done # Start the urxvt server /usr/bin/urxvtd -q -f -o # Start the Window manager wmaker However when I attempt to highlight text within a urxvt session using a double click to select a word or click and hold while dragging the cursor the text drops the highlight when I release the mouse button and nothing appears to be placed on the clipboard. This gives the following errors : winClipboardWindowProc - timed out waiting for WIN_XEVENTS_NOTIFY winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionRequest - GetClipboardData () failed: 2733 If I try to cut and paste to a MS application only the last MS clipboard contents are pasted. If I try to paste the contents of the MS clipboard to a urxvt window nothing is pasted If I try to paste any text into a gvim editor window it causes the gvim to hang which then has to be killed. Now for the strange bits: After a period of time, maybe an hour, a selection will stay highlighted for about 5 seconds which will allow it to be pasted any number of times using the middle mouse button to any application, under Cygwin/X using focus follows mouse or MS Windows, while it is highlighted. When the highlighing is dropped then the previous problems re-occur, ie nothing will be pasted and it will again cause gvim to hang. When it fails to paste it give the following error : winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionRequest - GetClipboardData () failed: 058a After yet more time, about 2 hours after starting Cygwin, the problem appears to have vanished completely and text will highlight correctly and paste to any application using the middle mouse button under Cygwin or C-v under Windows. Even when the highlighted text is de-selected by a single mouse click the item can still be pasted successfully. Before upgrading, from the pre-release 1.7 to 1.7.5-1, occasionly text would not stay highlighted but this could normally be corrected by shutting down Cygwin/X and restarting. This has not been successful since updating.

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? Right, but it doesn't hurt either.

NTFS network drives in cygwin 1.7.5
Dear cygwin mailing list, I recently starting using cygwin 1.7.5, and I appear to be having problems with file permissions on network drives. My computer (windows XP) is part of an NT domain, to which I am logged in. I am using the passwd and group files that were automatically generated at install.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cabextract 1.3-1
Version 1.3 of cabextract has been uploaded. cabextract is Free Software for extracting Microsoft cabinet files, also called .CAB files. See http://www.cabextract.org.uk/ for more details. Since the last cygwin release (1.1), the following changes were made: * -t option: Allows you to test that every file can be extracted without having to extract it to disk. This also prints the MD5 checksum of the file. * UTF-8 filenames are now decoded correctly. * Large files (2GB) are now searched correctly for cabinets. * Bugs in all decompressors have been fixed. This includes fixing an infinite loop caused by a carefully crafted MS-ZIP archive. * MS-ZIP recovery has been improved. You will now get data from within a bad block, up to the point it turned bad. -- 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: About mouse selection in a cmd console
On 4 August 2010 18:46, Andy Koppe wrote: 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 Thank you, Andy, for sharing this incredible expertise. Mouse control works with the above setting. With Quick Edit mode enabled, mouse control is lost even in a standard cmd console using Windows Vim. That is a bug (or a feature) of Windows console Vim. I opened a thread on vim_use to see if this can be improved.

Re: NTFS network drives in cygwin 1.7.5
On Aug 5 11:26, Gary Steele wrote: Dear cygwin mailing list, I recently starting using cygwin 1.7.5, and I appear to be having problems with file permissions on network drives.

In Cygwin 1.5 the default was not to use the ACLs on network drives and to fake the POSIX permissions (CYGWIN=nontsec).

Setup.exe update confusion
Hi! I just downloaded and started Setup.exe (version 2.708). I have already Cygwin installed, I wnated just to update to newest state. So I clicked Next, until I got to the package selection. Before I used then to click the View button, to get a list of packages that would be updated. But today with this version, I have a View named Pending that has a lot of packages listed (about 100). The Current column is empty for all of them. I am confused. I expected a few packages liste, with existing Current version and newer version listed under the New column. What am I missing?

I expect that's true. But if it's like some other large, successful software companies I've seen, a single request for a feature falls pretty low on the priority list unless there's an internal (or sometimes external) champion. Without that, it's the sheer number of requests for a feature that tip the balance. So I'd encourage you to add your +1 to any existing request, if that's possible, or to submit your own. Often these things just come down to the perceived demand. Google may respond if they see a line forming. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Updated: cabextract 1.3-1
Version 1.3 of cabextract has been uploaded. cabextract is Free Software for extracting Microsoft cabinet files, also called .CAB files. See http://www.cabextract.org.uk/ for more details. Since the last cygwin release (1.1), the following changes were made: * -t option: Allows you to test that every file can be extracted without having to extract it to disk. This also prints the MD5 checksum of the file. * UTF-8 filenames are now decoded correctly. * Large files (2GB) are now searched correctly for cabinets. * Bugs in all decompressors have been fixed. This includes fixing an infinite loop caused by a carefully crafted MS-ZIP archive. * MS-ZIP recovery has been improved. You will now get data from within a bad block, up to the point it turned bad.
