The setup.exe currently on the website shows version 2.774 in the GUI, but logs
version 2.769 to the command line.  BTW, would it be possible to show on the
website what version of setup it is?

pkgsrc _ access to make-bootstrap.sh denied to administrators

2012-04-30 Thread spermwhale.warrior 

Hello
I'm new to cygwin, in fact I am using it as a gateway to Netbsd's world the
time I learn to get my laptop being recognized by the NDIS subsystem. Cygwin
seems a greet software, but when bootstraping pkgsrc, I received a message
that said I hadn't the permission to execute the script.
But I'm the only one user in the system, and administrator. My user group is
None.
I don't get the "access denied" to the administrator.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks, Mehdi

Using Linux Libraries in Windows

2012-04-30 Thread kobbike 

Hi There

I'm new in  this area of combining Linux and Windows. I have noticed that
there is tons of information about this in the internet, and I would like to
know if this Cygwin tool is appropriate for my need. 

Well, I have to operate an external device (via USB). The vendor supplied an
API for Linux that contains Libraries (.os) and source code. I would like to
know if I can integrate them into a windows application.

Thanks in advance

Forget those other things that might have been possible causes -- they
now look like red herrings.  This happened again recently, once after
the system hibernated, and once after a reboot.  (In the second case,
I believe there were no Cygwin windows open when the system was shut
down, but it's possible that the process had not finished exiting and
was killed by shutdown.)

Recall from the previous occurrence that restoring from the last
restore point caused the error to go away, but that's not a good
workaround, as it takes at least half an hour to make a restore point
or restore from it, and restoring throws away anything installed since
the last restore point.

This is a very recent version of Cygwin -- it was updated 6 days ago.

Any ideas what might be wrong?  Perhaps something that wasn't cleaned
up during shutdown if the process did get killed?

Thanks!

I had understood BLODA to affect Cygwin programs that rely on code
in cygwin1.dll that tries to bridge the imperfect divide between
the Unix and Windows architectures; it therefore would not affect
pure Windows programs such as setup.exe. Have I misunderstood?

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a home-built cross-gdb to do some remote debugging
over tcp, but running gdb inside emacs doesn't work. M-x gud-gdb works
fine, it's something wrong with the emacs integration. Unlike past times
this has come up, the issue doesn't seem to be related to seg faults;
the closest match I can find is from the emacs mailing list a while back
[1], and involves a so-called "phase error." Basically, a large fraction
of commands cause gud to hang in "[initializing...]" state for minutes
or longer, apparently because it doesn't see what it expects and gets
confused.

The workaround to use 'file $BINARY' instead of specifying it at the
command line avoids one problem, but simple things like 'set remotebaud
115200' also hang (unless added to a .gdbinit), and actually attempting
to attach to the remote process similarly hangs forever in the
initializing state. There is no CPU or disk utilization, and the command
can't be interrupted with C-c C-c (though that does make it report a
phase error before going back to hung). In some cases the "hang"
resolves itself after about two minutes -- usually for simple commands
like `set remotebaud' -- but more often than not, it's permanent. The
behavior is also somewhat erratic, in the sense that the specific set of
commands that hangs changes slowly over time and/or between invocations.

So, two questions:

1. Has anyone else seen this, and if so, do they have any advice or
workarounds?

2. Cygwin's official gdb doesn't seem to have any of these problems,
though I can't test most of the commands, since it can't attach to the
remote process. Is there some set of cygwin-specific patches I could
borrow that make all the difference, or is my observation just coincidence?

Can't you just download the source for Cygwin's gdb and use that as the
starting point for your home-built cross-gdb?

There is nothing magical in the Cygwin gdb source.  Any recent gdb source
should be perfectly usable.

OK, I was just hoping there was some easy fix.

Just found rebaseall.  After the first run (not as administrator), the
error was still present, but the reported address was different.  Ran
it again as administrator, and after that the error went away.

Odd thing is that although I ran setup last week in order to install
something new, I'd been using Cygwin without errors since then, so
nothing was installed between the time it worked and when it stopped
working.

Yes, you have misunderstood.  We point people to the BLODA FAQ at
Cygwin at mingw.org which has nothing to do with Cygwin.  BLODA can
affect any DLL or EXE.

I put mine in C:\cygwin\packages.  Never had a problem.

I have no idea why setup defaults to putting things on my desktop (if I
remember right).  Just makes more unwanted clutter on my desktop.  But it's
easy to change and it works fine in a Cygwin subdirectory in my experience.

You're thinking too much like Linux/UNIX.  There is no vnode/inode in
Windows.

What you're trying to control is considered a feature and the prescribed
solution is to use an unprivileged user or to use 'cygdrop'.  You may find
a suitable alternative for your case with some experimentation too but I
think it's pretty clear at this point that there is no ready-made solution
that meets the criteria that you've stipulated.

See .  It describes what Cygwin is and what it is not.

If the vendor supports Windows, then you should be able to do what you

make this happen.  Just to be clear, you cannot take Linux libs/SOs and
expect them to just work on Windows with Cygwin.

I can't duplicate this.  If I redirect stdout I get this:

Starting cygwin install, version 2.774

and the log files contain the correct version too.

Moreover, I can't find the string 2.769 in any object file that was used to
create setup.exe.

>BTW, would it be possible to show on the website what version of setup
>it is?

No, I don't think that level of bookkeeping is worth it.  setup.exe is
not a product.  You don't have to download it to get new features that
you need day-to-day.  If you are worried about always getting the newest
version before updating Cygwin then you could just write a "runsetup.bat"
file:

@echo off
wget -O setup.exe --quiet http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
.\setup.exe

And execute "runsetup" every time you want to perform an update.

Sorry, false alarm.  I had the new setup.exe on my machine (downloaded
from the website), but the installer on the server would get the old one
anyway from the HTTP proxy cache... which finally also explained some of
the more mysterious mirror failures I've had happen occasionally.  I've
managed to set the lftp script up so that it bypasses any caching.  It's
incredibly slow now, but at least when it finishes it has the correct
files.

I'm experiencing regular seg faults, often while using gdb but not
always (switching between buffers is another big offender). I'm not sure
what other information I can provide, other than the EIP=610CF707
reported in the .stackdump file...

Also, gdb-mi seems to be alpha quality, is it supposed to be fully
usable and stable at this point? (and is there a way to disable it and
return to --annotate=3?)


There have been recent problems reported with gdb-mi, so there will 
probably be bugfixes before emacs-24.1 is released.  I don't know 
offhand of a way to return to --annotate=3.

Thanks for testing.  I'll try to make debugging symbols available so 
that you can get a better backtrace.  It might be a few days before I 
get to it.


Do you have a recipe that will reliably produce a segfault for you? 
I've been using emacs-24 for months without any problems (as long as I 
build without gsettings support, as I did for emacs-24.0.96-1).  But I 
haven't tested gdb-mi for a while.


You said you got segfaults even while not using gdb-mi.  But did you get 
segfaults in an emacs session in which you didn't use gdb-mi at all in 
the entire session?

Good point. I probably had used gdb-mi at some point during every 
session that crashed.
