hard to have that "portable Cygwin".

And no, you don't need to run rebaseall each time you use the stick on a

reasons if you chose NTFS (and a host of other problems if you don't and
go with FAT32).


Further, you will have to be realistic as to which Windows installs
you expect to be able run Cygwin off of the USB stick, on.

Unfortunately, I've observed quite a few corporate Windows installs
disable running executables off of removable media.

I recall being able to defeat that by avoiding running directly from
the Windows shell (explorer.exe), but... your mileage may vary, so to
speak.

Unless there is absolutely no other way and you know exactly what you're
doing, never skip the cygautoreconf in src_compile.


I always try to use the default src_compile autotools.cygclass function 
where possible to ensure that is the case.
Various GNU tool builds have that commented out by their previous 
experienced maintainers, so I tread carefully.
I do try to re-add the cygautoreconf function and comment out the 
src_compile function override where possible even in those cases.
I leave the commented out version in place to document the possibility 
that re-trying a build without cygautoreconf may fix issues.


In this case, all such alternatives (cygautoreconf, libtoolize, lndirs) 
tried either had no effect or broke the builds, which as I said, seem to 
have all the autoconf and automake files pre-generated, so that cygconf 
and cygmake should work, given a functional libtool.


I have also tried to rebuild libtool from sources to pick up updates, 
but that cygport build no longer even generates a Makefile!
However I notice that the tar contains a slew of .file temporaries that 
may be messing up that build.


Only approach that worked was to write a script to update 
/usr/bin/libtool to latest /usr/lib/gcc/$HOSTTYPE-*-$OSTYPE/[0-9]* path, 
add to SRC_URI, and run at the start of src_compile:


https://cygwin.com/git/?p=git/cygwin-packages/ncurses.git;a=tree;hb=playground

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?id=3533=ncurses=succeeded=Brian+Inglis

https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/1459727318

https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/suites/4351117248/logs?attempt=1

I will make this an ITA to update ncurses if there are no better 
alternatives suggested to the unconventional approach.
I will then look at how to build the mingw64-*86*-ncurses versions and 
ITA those.

Editing with vim clears Windows 10 file system archive bit.

[Steve Ward via Cygwin]

Description of problem:
While using vim 8.2 on cygwin 3.3 (x86_64) on Windows 10,
when editing an existing file with vim and saving it, the Window’s
file system archive bit is always left cleared (not modified state).
This happens, whether the archive bit was set (is modified) or
clear (not modified) initially.  Window’s backup tools rely on this
archive bit for making incremental backups.

The following scenarios DO work:
1. Using vim to create a new file,
   leaves the new file’s archive bit set (is modified).
2. “cp” and redirect with append (“>>”),
   leave the target file’s archive bit set (is modified).
3. “emacs” (emacs-w32) (ver. 27.2) worked for both editing and creating!
4. Editing with vim sets the “last modified date” correctly
   for Linux and Windows.

Tools used to confirm the problem:
The cygwin tool, “cygcheck –c” listed “OK” as the status of every package.
The archive bit settings were confirmed with Window’s “File Explorer” and
cygwin’s “attrib”.
The cygwin tool, “chattr,” could be used as a crude workaround,
but I rather have vim do it.

My search for solutions:
I have perused 8 years of “The Cygwin Archives” for this issue,
but could find nothing relevant.
Google Web searches, and stackoverflow.com, vim.org and
vi.stackexchange.com searches turned up nothing relevant.
On my local machine, a search of /usr/share/vim/vim82/doc/*.txt
turned up nothing relevant.

My update history:
10/2013 Cygwin-1.7.25 Windows  8 vim-7.3.1314 No problem with archive bit.
09/2021 Cygwin-3.2.0  Windows 10 vim-8.2.0486 Problem with archive bit.
11/2021 Cygwin-3.3.2  Windows 10 vim-8.2.0486 Problem with archive bit.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Thanks,
Steve

Should not SEGV even if there is nothing to paste!

Those utilities do not have access to the X Window select buffer, only 
the X window copy buffer is copied to the Windows clipboard 
/dev/clipboard, so you may have to *COPY* the selected text to the 
clipboard, however that is done from xterm, perhaps C-S-v or using 
command xclip -sel c, before you can paste it.

The '-u' or '-d' option of getclip does not seem to work properly under xterm.
How to reproduce:
1) Open an xterm
2) Select a simple piece of text (with no line ending)
3) getclip -u
4) Observe 'Segmentation fault(core dumped)'

If step 2 is replaced by ‘printf  | putclip', no error.
If step 3 is replaced by ‘getclip’, no error.

I can’t tell whether this is new or not.

Remarks:
1) If (under xterm) i select a piece of text with a line end, then i can 
observe ‘\r\n’ at the end (using getclip | od -c)
2) If i select a piece of text with a line end with putclip, i can only observe 
‘\n’ at the end (echo "" | putclip | getclip | od -c)
3) I launch ‘xwin’ with ‘option -clipboard’ (the default), i suppose this does 
not matter
4) It might be related to xorg-server-21.1.0-1 (TEST) that i installed recently 
(2021-11-04), however xwinclip-21-1.0-1 didn’t come with the rest

I found only a CgyWin Installer to download.


I occasionally use Cygwin installed to NTFS partitions of USB flash 
drives for many years now. No problems so far, but the use cases were 
typically limited to "rescue" purposes (mintty, dd, ddrescue, fdisk, 
hexedit, smartctl, testdisk, ...). BTW: Also works great from the 
limited WinPE environment booted from a FAT32 boot partition on same 
flash drive.



I prefer to put CygWin on an USB flash drive and run it on various 
computers without leaving installation traces.


Please be aware that there will be traces on all computers because a 
registry value is set during startup of the root cygwin1.dll. The values 
appear below one of the following registry keys:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\Installations
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\Installations

A list is included in 'cygcheck -s' output. Alternatively try the 
following commands from Cygwin shell:


ls -la /proc/registry??/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Cygwin/Installations
ls -la /proc/registry/HKEY_USERS/*/SOFTWARE/Cygwin/Installations

It all depends on what you want to do with it and wahtr limitations you
are able and willing to accept, but those dependencies are what makes it
hard to have that "portable Cygwin".

And no, you don't need to run rebaseall each time you use the stick on a
new system, but it may well not work at all for entirely different
reasons if you chose NTFS (and a host of other problems if you don't and
go with FAT32).

You will have to format the stick to NTFS, and run rebaseall for each time you
insert your stick into a new system, which defeats the very idea of having a
"portable Cygwin" - it will always be tied to a specific system.

It may just break at the least predictable moment.
Some tools may freak about permissions being wrong (for those per-user
entries in the /home directory).
Some may simply crash due to changed address layout.
This is simply not feasible, IMO.

FIDO/U2F middleware libraries

[Achim Gratz]

So I've got myself some FIDO2 tokens to eventually use with OpenSSH and
that works.  However, you need to be administrator to access the HID
interface on Win10 past 1909 or so or else go through their
"WindowsHello" API.  I've found two middleware libraries that almost
build out of the box on Cygwin:

https://github.com/tavrez/openssh-sk-winhello
https://github.com/mgbowen/windows-fido-bridge

They both work on 64bit only (the first one builds on 32bit, but
crashes, the second one doesn'tr even build).  If anybody wants to have
a look, here are the package sources on playground:

https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages?p=git/cygwin-packages/playground.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/libwinhello
https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages?p=git/cygwin-packages/playground.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/libwindowsfidobridge

The build artefacts are on AppVeyor.


There is a newer version of libfido (which OpenSSH uses) that should be
able to use the WindowsHello.  Corinna has patched it up to the point
were it actually builds and OpenSSH tries to use it, but fails.  I have
no idea yet if the fail is triggered by something OpenSSH does or
seomthing in libfido not lining up with WindowsHello.  I have to get up
to speed on how to use the fido-tools provided with libfido in order to
see where things go sideways.

but that cygport build no longer even generates a Makefile!
However I notice that the tar contains a slew of .file temporaries that 
may be messing up that build.

I'm not able to reproduce the problem anymore, so I guess I must have

Please go ahead with the upload.

Unless there is absolutely no other way and you know exactly what you're
doing, never skip the cygautoreconf in src_compile.

correct. No one should install all the files

The file permissions will be not correct.

Actually, if you format your USB stick to NTFS, this should work. I
remember to have had a mobile cygwin stick around a while ago.



Not if you use the same USB installation in different computers with 
different users.


Also if the User has the same windows name, the IDE on
different computers are different

What you can do is use the USB stick as location for the cache download
and install from the USB on the other computers.




I've had a FAT32 portable USB stick supporting both Cygwin32 and Cygwin64
for, dunno, 20 years or something. I made a new one from scratch last night, 
actually,
absolutely coincidentally to this post. Whilst not "Full" the installation is 
way in advance
of "Base". I just run
setup -P 
at the Windows command prompt, installing to a formatted FAT32 stick, and away 
I go.
Time after time after time.

Installation for USB is a different thing as no special permissions
are needed by setup to use the cache files.
PS: it is what I was recommending

Having trouble following the assertions here.
I've had a FAT32 portable USB stick supporting both Cygwin32 and Cygwin64

Give that patch file a different name (just changing the . before cygwin
to a - would suffice) and add it to PATCH_URI in the cygport file
instead.  ${PVR}.{cygwin,src}.patch files are special to cygport.
