Check mintty/Options/Text/Locale[en_US]/Character set[UTF-8]/Apply/Save.
Then exit and restart mintty and your shell.

To see what locale Cygwin thinks you are set to, run:
$ locale

To check all Windows locale settings, you can run:
$ for o in -s -u -n -i -f ''; do locale $o; done

The first two should show your Windows install locale, the rest should show
anything you have set up, or the same locale.
If any settings don't match LANG, you may have to set LC_ALL=$LANG to force the
setting.
I use the following profile stanza across all systems for consistency:

# Set user-defined locale - use regional settings if available
locale -fU > /dev/null 2>&1 \
&& LC_ALL=`locale -fU`  \
|| LC_ALL=`locale | \
/bin/sed '/^LANG=\|^LC_CTYPE=\|^LC_ALL=/{s///;h};$!d;x;s/"//g'`
export LC_ALL

X11 headers are namespaced, meaning that you should e.g. #include
 instead of .  If your code doesn't do that, then
you need to fix it.

Sorry for repeatedly responding to myself, but I think I see now how to 
build on what I've done and show user URLs on a separate page as Jon 
originally suggested.


If you want to hold off on reviewing this series of patches, I'll give 
that a try.

It's a marketing suggestion for referring to the PowerBroker product which

Thanks to all the lead me the way.

Use the Cygwin Time Machine, some other post had the link.


I'm trying to build a legacy suite of programs that I know builds
under 5.x, but fails miserably under 6.4.


Been there, done that.  In general, trying to freeze the compilation
environment is a losing proposition and it's better to fix up the
sources instead.

[PATCH setup v2 5/5] Make user URLs sort last in the displayed site list

Also fix load_site_list() so that when a mirror replaces an existing
entry, the sort order is updated.

Change site_list_type::operator== to compare URLs instead of sort
keys, since the key of a user URL no longer depends solely on the URL.

Introduce a new helper function merge_site().

SecureDesktop, which you also may have installed (I saw you wrote

My understanding is that you're just reporing your findings, not asking for 
support here.  Assuming that's the case, the only thing to do here is to add 
this to the BLODA.

I actually can't find any mention of a product nor feature called SecureDesktop, so 
unless there are better ideas, let's do only "BeyondTrust".

Hello


I have seen a similar problem on Windows 7, using Cygwin bash version
4.4.12(3)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin).

After repeating a simplified test on my own host and 6 other
colleagues, my conclusion is that the cause is found in BeyondTrust
SecureDesktop, which you also may have installed (I saw you wrote
something about TrustedInstaller).

 I have raised an internal case with my IT service desk to resolve the
issue (and see what they can do).

The observations are as follows, in bash, standing in a subdir with 3
files a,b and c:

(The results shown are on a host with SecureDesktop, but the only
difference is at the last command)
$ ls
a  b  c

$ echo $(ls)
a b c

$ echo $(ls|sort)
a b c

$ echo "$(ls)"
a
b
c

$ echo "$(ls|sort)"
$

The problem is seen in the last line, where no output is produced, and
the expected output is just like the previous command (the one without
the ‘sort’).

3 colleagues also with SecureDesktop sees the same as I do, and 3
other colleagues without SecureDesktop sees the expected result (the
last command produces output).

Re: mksetupini fails validating packages because curr is test

[Ivan Gagis]

Ok, thanks! But what would be the schedule of releasing it to cygwin repo?

I don't want to mess up my CI scripts which install the whole build
env from scratch on every build, so I need it in cygwin repo.

Br,
Ivan
