Yikes. I intended not to top-post, but it seems that replying from a 
forwarded copy (I forward Outlook.com email to another email provider) 
is no good. I've reconfigured my email client hoping I fixed it.

I remember choosing that word; I should have gone with "similar".

I wanted to somehow ameliorate my first post with the bits I could 
recently gather because I considered them sort of good news, but I'll 
try to reproduce lighttpd package ASAP and report back.

Re: latest lighttpd (1.4.45) not working on Windows 10 Home Edition

2018-12-07 Thread Alejandro Benitez
Hi,

I'd like to add more information to the report.

With the help of the IRC support channel I've managed to successfully 
run a build of a later version of lighttpd (v 1.4.52) which is the 
latest tarball available at

https://www.lighttpd.net/download/

with the following build configuration

`./configure --without-bzip2 --with-openssl --with-lua`

The build is quite identical to the Cygwin build; I did not have to 
tweak my configuration files and everything worked as expected, whereas 
the current Cygwin package (v 1.4.45) shows the behavior I previously 
reported.

Best regards,

latest lighttpd (1.4.45) not working on Windows 10 Home Edition

2018-11-29 Thread Alejandro Benitez
Hi,
Id like to share that the latest Cygwin lighttpd package does not work 
for me on Windows 10 Home Edition. Neither 32-bit nor 64-bit package. I 
had the chance to test it on both architectures because when I first ran 
into this problem I was running Windows 10 32-bit on this AMD64 PC, but 
later on I did a fresh install of Windows 10 64-bit; the reason for the 
architecture mismatch was that PC vendor sold AMD64 PCs with Windows 7 
Starter Edition (which was 32-bit only IIRC).
Back to lighttpd: the previous version (1.4.41) does run OK with the 
same config files.
I suspected the newer lighttpd might have been somehow incompatible with 
v 1.4.41 config files, but I have another machine with Windows 7 64-bit 
and v 1.4.45 does run OK with similar config files.
The error is non verbose: when I try to load any web page (static or 
PHP) the browser just remains *loading* for a long time and later ends 
with a timeout error page, whereas the previous lighttpd binary just 
loads the page fast. There are no logs written in access.log error.log 
or cygrunsrv.log files.
I'm not sure, but I'd guess it's a compatibility issue with Windows 10.
I have mod_access, mod_redirect, mod_rewrite, mod_magnet, mod_proxy, 
mod_fastcgi (for PHP integration) enabled.
I tried accessing it at every ip (127.0.0.1, lan ip and internet ip) 
where the previous version succeeds, to no avail.
The lighttpd (1.4.45) service also takes too long to stop and sometimes 
it just fails to do so.
I use latest PHP packages for both v 1.4.41 and v 1.4.45 tests.
I run Windows 10 April 2018 Update or Windows 10 version 1803.
Thanks in advance,

Windows upgrade

2018-06-12 Thread Alejandro Benitez
Hi,

I have a 32 bit cygwin installation of 8 years of age in an amd64 PC with 2 GB 
of RAM with Windows 10. So far it's been so good. I never had the need to use a 
64 bit Windows, but recently 64 bit has become mainstream and I also started 
having low memory issues, so I upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. The thing is 32 bit 
Windows has issues with the whole 4 GB of RAM therefore I have quite less 
available, so I decided I will be switching to 64 bit Windows 10 via a clean 
install (yuk!) when I am able.

I'll be following the steps outlined in this post or a similar one:

https://www.howtogeek.com/228042/how-to-switch-from-32-bit-windows-10-to-64-bit-windows-10/

It's somehow clear I thankfully won't need to upgrade to cygwin64 until later, 
I mean it seems I'll be able to still use my 32 bit cygwin after I upgrade to 
64 bit Windows 10, I just don't know what I'll need to tweak / migrate so that 
the new Windows installation installed on top of the same drive that currently 
holds the 32 bit cygwin knows it's there. I'm betting some registry entries and 
environment variables. Does anyone know these tweaks for certain? I need cygwin 
to be fully functional, I mean setup.exe needs to be able to install packages, 
otherwise it won't be of much use.

I might also be wrong and need to install cygwin64 as I upgrade Windows. 
Fingers are crossed.

Thanks in advance,

Re: Add emacs build with LUCID X toolkit ?

2018-03-07 Thread Alejandro Benitez
> vfork issues almost always indicate a need to do a full rebase.

Thank you. I really should have clarified that, I did try several rebaseall 
approaches to no avail. It seems this emacs build is a bit dated (March 2017) 
and might be linking to some dll files rebaseall is not honoring. I will post 
this or a related question in a new thread as soon as I can perform further 
tests. I just didn't want to wait to do the emacs build with lucid x toolkit 
suggestion.

Add emacs build with LUCID X toolkit ?

2018-03-05 Thread Alejandro Benitez
Hi,
I often painstakingly work on my build of emacs and never look back, praying to 
never come back, but then I get some annoyances such as vfork issues I can't 
fix. I will go further on this in a different post.

So, if there's anyone related to the Cygwin's emacs package, pretty please 
change the widget choice from gtk to lucid / athena, it adds a lot more power 
to emacs. Otherwise, every time you close the X Server, emacs running in server 
mode will crash due to a longstanding gtk bug when X display is disconnected. 
Emacs even outputs a friendly last message with a link to the bug before 
crashing.

Emacs folks tend to have an eternal emacs server instance running on their PCs 
that often / can endure killing the Windows console session and then resuming 
it at your next logon or just keep the fun via ssh. We can't do this with 
Cygwin's emacs package, so it needs to build emacs yourself. Maybe add a new 
emacs-lucid package ? And really I guess most emacs users just remove 
tool-bars, menu-bars, scroll-bars first thing in their config file and use the 
keyboard. Thanks!

Same request to Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471258
