python: fix for locale.bind_textdomain_codeset

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

Jason,

Support for bind_textdomain_codeset() in Python's locale module (namely
Modules/_localemodule.c) is dependent on an AC_CHECK_FUNC test.
Unfortunately, this only looks in libc, where we (and other non-glibc
platforms) rely on libintl for these functions, resulting in a false
negative.

Since _locale is already linked against libintl, an easy fix is to just
add ac_cv_func_bind_textdomain_codeset=yes to CYGCONF_ARGS.  When you
updated Python to 2.6.6, could you include this as well?


Yaakov

Please follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:

Without specifics and some baseline data, it's hard to do more than just
guess at the problem and the solution.  My WAG is that you are experiencing
BLODA or need to rebase.  Since you've made one pass at the BLODA issue,
I would suggest installing the 'rebase' package, reading its README, and
following the instructions there to rebase your system.  That might help.

fork failing, already checked big list of evil applications

[Jeff Cook]

I sent this to the list yesterday but it hasn't appeared and I haven't

again. Sorry if it appears twice.

I am trying to run duplicity in cygwin. When I try to run it, I am
prompted for a passphrase, but it crashes when Python tries to fork()

All help appreciated, thanks.

Re: ntvdm encountered a hard error

I think I ran into the same problem (although after doing a google search, 
there 
are lots of different answers).

In my case, I was installing using setup-legacy.exe on a new Windows Server 2k3 
SP2 VM (under VMWare Server 2).  This was 

the exact same configuration that I had set up several months ago in another 
VM, 
and which still works. 



When I click on the Cygwin Bash Shell icon, or on
the start menu shortcut, a command windows would open up and then a pop up with
"ntvdm encountered a hard error".

I started to compare the working and non-working VM and found that the shortcut 
on the non-working VM specified the command:
"C:\WINDOWS\command.com /E:4096 /c C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat", 
whereas the working version had 
"C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat".  

WS2k3 does not have a C:\WINDOWS\command.com (nor does XP).  When I changed the 
shortcut to 

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com /E:4096 /c C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat" 
everything worked great.

Now according to my cygcheck -c of both systems, there was no difference in the 
packages, so this must be a change in 

the installer.

squid is pulling in windows headers files which conflict with cygwin header 
files.
It should be told not to do that.  I doubt that including "compat/os/mswin.h" is
correct.

Don't know what you mean by "the snapshot" but current snapshots works
fine with ssh server.

To answer your question: We'll be releasing Cygwin 1.7.8 sometime in
January.

 Note that the issue does not happen if I don't start gitk as a

So the snapshot fixes the issue, but breaks a bunch of other cygwin
apps (like ssh server). Any idea when this fix is going to make it

may be all well , except that the download is not being done over ipv6

oh well seems that setup.exe is unable to use ipv6

Of course. I didn't find any such binary API problem in my tests.
I usually test perl for weeks until I release it.

But soon after I released it, we found out that some old XS modules did not work
anymore and had to be recompiled.

I haven't yet found out why exactly. Debugging on cygwin is certainly
difficult compared to linux,
where I do have access to all stack params and symbols in shared libs,
and can reliably
set breakpoints in shared libs. Even if I use gdb-7 it does not work
most of the time.
