Re: [Mingw-w64-public] Fwd: [PATCH v1] setup: allow building with i686-w64-mingw32
Hello,
here is my review about Yaakov's patch.
The change in crt/wchar.h about __mingw_ovr macro looks wrong to me,
or at least inconsistent. As stdio.h has same macro. At least a
libstdc++ bootstrap test is required for this change.
The hunks about guiddef.h are ok.
The hunk about ntdef.h is ok. Also the changes for propkeydef.h header, too.
The hunk in winnt.h:
@@ -88,7 +88,7 @@ extern C {
#include basetsd.h
-#if defined(_X86_) || defined(__ia64__) || defined(__x86_64)
+#if defined(__W32API_USE_DLLIMPORT__) (defined(_X86_) ||
defined(__ia64__) || defined(__x86_64))
#define DECLSPEC_IMPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#else
#define DECLSPEC_IMPORT
I would like to see here a different macro-name and the logic needs to
be inverted. Our default scenario uses dllimport and just in cygwin's
setup-case we don't want it.
So I would like to see here instead: !defined (__NO_USE_DLLIMPORT)
Rest of the hunks for winnt.h are ok.
The hunks about winternl.header are ok, beside one nit. The change in
FILE_RENAME_INFORMATION about RootDir from HANDLE to ULONG type I am
not sure. If it should be a integer-scalar instead of a pointer, is
it sure that it is for 64-bit also just 32-bit wide? I would think we
should use here DWORD_PTR instead.
Regards,
Kai

There is one change to propkeydef.h, but and I believe incorrect. Generally, this patch makes REFIID and similar typedefs depend on CINTERFACE, which is not present in MSVC. Changing it is a serious danger for compatibility. Why is it needed? Jacek To clear things up, CINTERFACE is used for the style interface declaration, nothing to do with REFIID. In C++, it seems to be typical to use references rather than pointers to refer to IIDs, so hopefully Cygwin can fix the usage on their side. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Taskbar buttons for remote xterms do not appear
Hi, I upgraded Cygwin/X to XWin 1.12.1-1 built 2012-05-02 and now I'm seeing an annoying problem when starting remote xterm windows: the taskbar button for the xterm window does not appear until I give it focus. 1. I start XWin.exe via a desktop shortcut to this command line: D:\Devel\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe \ -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe 2. My ~/.startxwinrc has these lines: xhost + nohup xterm -font 10x20 -e /bin/bash \ -l /dev/null 21 which opens a single xterm, after which I then ssh remote-server and set DISPLAY back to my PC and execute a shell script which starts 36 xterms on remote-server. (Yes, I start 36 separate xterms, all carefully positioned to display back to the 4 monitors on my PC.) The problem is: even though the xterm windows appear fine, none of the taskbar buttons appear until I give the xterm window focus. I was using xorg-server-1.10.0-1 and did not have this problem until setup.exe upgraded me to 1.12.1. This is WinXP 32-bit/SP3 running 4 monitors w/FirePro 2450 and w/UltraMon-3.1.0 and w/TaskbarShuffle-2.5 and TweakUI Activation follows mouse (X-Mouse) checked. All taskbar buttons used to appear just fine with this setup, the only thing that has changed is Cygwin. Is this a bug or a configuration issue? Could someone help me understand how to fix this? FWIW, I've searched the mailing lists and found this: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.12.0-2 * The _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint is now implemented in multiwindow mode Since I'm using multi-window mode and since these are network based xterms coming into XWin.exe, and the taskbar button is not automatically showing with the xterm window, could this be my problem? I have no ~/.XWinrc and made no changes to the standard /etc/X11/system.XWinrc, so perhaps a simple ~/.XWinrc configuration can fix this? [I'm still a X11 noob and don't know much about configuring X; please be gentle.] Thanks, David -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Two new versions of socat are available in the Cygwin distribution: 1.7.2.1-1 - current 2.0.0b5-1 - test These are new upstream releases, that address a security vulnerability in previous versions. You can read the upstream changelog at http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/doc/CHANGES. Because this is a security update, previous versions of socat have been removed from the Cygwin archive. socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two independent data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file, pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX, IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor (readline), a program, or a combination of two of these. These modes include generation of 'listening' sockets, named pipes, and pseudo terminals. socat can be used, e.g., as TCP port forwarder (one-shot or daemon), as an external socksifier, for attacking weak firewalls, as a shell interface to UNIX sockets, IP6 relay, for redirecting TCP oriented programs to a serial line, to logically connect serial lines on different computers, or to establish a relatively secure environment (su and chroot) for running client or server shell scripts with network connections.
