Re: Unpacking 7z archives on Cygwin64
Now I have just discovered how! Installing the bsdtar and friends packages. I was sure that there was an alternative to p7zip but don't remember which... It is bsdtar... Thanks, that is useful. I'm trying to work with a build system that assumes p7zip, and is using it to extract from an msi file. bsdtar is not working as a drop-in replacement for this, and it would be nice to remove p7zip from http://cygwin.com/cygwin-64bit-missing regardless. I reported the inquiry about the 64 bit assembly upstream at https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/support-requests/6/#2150 and found some patches were required to get the 64 bit assembly to work. We can either modify the .cygport file to use the C version as I initially suggested, or modify the .src.patch file to get the 64 bit assembly version working. This also requires running dos2unix on the assembly file in order to get the patch to apply. I'm still not clear, do 64 bit packages have their own independent set of patches, or is it necessary to write patches that work for both 32 bit and 64 bit? -Tony -- 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: Help with shortcuts
Well thanks I will have to try that. My only other option was to create a menu and execute in from my profile ... and instead of shortcuts ... they would be options off a menu. I also found out you can create symbolic links under Win 7, WIn XP (you must download this Junction Program) and also do this under various Unix/Linux versions.

Re: Unpacking 7z archives on Cygwin64
> There is an x86_64 assembly version of the same > file included in the source tarball which could be used instead, Which is? May you clarify this point? Sure. There's an Asm directory in the source tree, under which there are x86 and x64 subfolders. They both contain versions of the file 7zCrcT8U.asm. I don't know assembly and I'm not familiar enough with the details of p7zip to know for sure, but I'm guessing these should do the same thing. It should be possible to patch makefile.cygwin_asm to use the x64 assembly file instead, it would just be a bit more invasive of a patch. The p7zip-9.20.1-1.src.patch file already has a section that touches makefile.cygwin_asm that I could expand upon to do this. I didn't understand the relationship between the numbered patches listed in the PATCH_URI section of the .cygport file, and the .src.patch and .cygwin.patch files, but I at least see the order in which they are applied now. Do 32-bit and 64-bit packages use the same build instructions, or would the 64-bit package be separate? I can add in makefile conditionals to make the same patch work for both, or use a simpler patch targeting 64-bit specifically. -Tony -- 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: Unpacking 7z archives on Cygwin64
No. The Cygwin utility for 7z archives is p7zip, but that's one of the packages that hasn't been ported to 64-bit Cygwin yet. What's the best way to contribute to help this along? I just downloaded the p7zip source package and figured out what needs to change to get the cygport file to build cleanly in 64-bit Cygwin: 1. One of the patches doesn't apply correctly because a man file, man1/7zr.1, has the wrong line endings. Running dos2unix on that man file and re-packing the source tarball fixed that. 2. In src_compile() in the cygport file, the line cp makefile.cygwin_asm makefile.machine is resulting in an x86 assembly file getting pulled in, which fails to link in 64-bit Cygwin. There is an x86_64 assembly version of the same file included in the source tarball which could be used instead, but the easier patch is to instead use a C version of the file. There may be some performance penalty here, but it's a one-liner patch to the cygport file: [ `arch` = x86_64 ] && cp makefile.cygwin makefile.machine added after the previous "cp" line. Can anyone offer guidance for how to proceed in creating a 64-bit version of this package now that I've pointed out what needs to be fixed?
