Basic troubleshooting by any competent admin involves making changes stepwise in steps as small as (reasonably) possible, and reperforming tests each step. Next step: go back to your older system and upgrade only the Perl packages, then repeat the test. If you are capable, try testing your cygwin environment on a different machine, preferably not a corporate machine with hidden BLODA, and with Microsoft Defender disabled (for the tests) (as previously asked by others). If you are capable, try testing older and newer Perl installations on a different OS. Annecdotally, I noticed about month or two ago that running my Perl Test::Harness slowed down dramatically after an upgrade of both kernel and packages on a Linux (*not Cygwin*) system. I have not yet seen compelling evidence from you that the slowdown is due to Cygwin, and have seen data suggesting it is more directly related to Perl changes. Other than your 'make test', do you have any evidence that anything else has slowed down as dramatically between the old and new cywgin packages? Any other shell scripts for which you tested the timing? Any other Perl scripts for which you tested the timing? (and not run under 'make test') I do not have the interest nor the means to bisect Cygwin, Perl, and/or CPAN looking for performance issues. For my use-case (SOHO devops), Cygwin Perl performance is a "nice to have"; not a "must have". "Correctness" is the "must have".

Indeed. But perhaps what the Cygwin core and/or Cygwin Perl maintainers need is a simple test case Perl script that can be shown to be much slower on the current releases than it was on a named earlier pair of releases. And maybe some testing by the original poster to see if it is the Cygwin or Perl release change that causes the issue. Anecdotal observations do not an issue report make. ;-) So, we are discussing running a Perl benchmark for various combinations of Cygwin version and/or Cygwin Perl version. That is an O(n) and/or O(n**2) problem. If multiple benchmarks are considered, increase the O() exponent by one. If multiple versions of Windows are considered, increase the O() exponent by one. If multiple computers are considered, increase the O() exponent by one. Does the Cygwin project do any of the above? If so, how? Where are the test plans and assets? Where is the raw data? Where are the reports? If end users are expected to do the above, please advise: 1. How to install multiple versions of Cygwin on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1 on an x86_64 computer such that each instance of Cygwin does not interact with any other instance of Cygwin. 2.

What is a suitable Perl benchmark? David The Cygwin core & Perl maintainers do not get paid for their work. I do not get paid for working on Cygwin and/or Perl. But, I have been paid for using and programming both. If you believe you have spotted a regression, it's up to you to isolate at what revision of Perl or of Cygwin core it started to happen. If Cygwin provides me with the means; fair enough. You can get older revisions of Cygwin & Perl from the Cygwin Time Machine (GFGI). https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=site%3Acygwin.org%20cygwin%20time%20machine https://cygwin.cygwin.narkive.com/cSRkGFjw/time-machine http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwincirca http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html I built a similar hack years ago. GFGI Programming Systems Product You can have as many parallel installations of Cygwin and its packages as you like simply by specifying different install paths when running the setup program (RTFM). Section? Page? Like most FOSS, Cygwin & its packages are provided with no warranty. https://cygwin.org/faq.html#faq.what.free If they are so vital to your business, you need to be doing regression testing yourself before upgrading production systems Have you been spying on me? ;-) and maintaining your own Cygwin repo so you have a copy of the production releases. https://cygwin.org/faq.html#faq.what.version https://cygwin.org/faq.html#faq.setup.old-versions I would say "disappointing", but I think you found the answer (below). This is all SOP for using FOSS in a business context, TIMTOWTDI. unless you're willing to pay someone else to do it for you, which is how Red Hat et al make their money.

What I consider a well known issue is that process start up time is _very_ slow. If your 'make test' starts lots of processes that could be a problem. [Replying to off-list message.] Thank you for the reply. 'make test' starts a large number of processes -- perhaps a thousand. Another huge slowdown is Windows Defender. Try turning that off and seeing how long your 'make test' takes then. Of all the test scripts, 02-compile.t consumes the most time on all platforms. Using 02-compile.t as a benchmark, here is the compile time with Windows Defender enabled: $ time perl -Ilib t/02-compile.t real2m1.404s user3m20.490s sys 4m24.476s Here is the compile time with Windows Defender disabled: $ time perl -Ilib t/02-compile.t real1m56.606s user3m14.374s sys 4m20.106s Both of the above tests were run in Cygwin64 Terminal. Using Debian and SSH: $ time perl -Ilib t/02-compile.t real1m18.733s user2m32.187s sys 2m29.652s So, Cygwin64 Terminal is also a problem. In all cases, Resource Monitor indicates the script is CPU bound.

Issue with 'cpan' program
cygwin:
Today, I did a fresh install of Cygwin 64-bit on a recently built (and
fully updated) Windows 7 Professional 64-bit computer.
When I run the command:
cpan local::lib
One core goes to 100% and the program hangs indefinitely.
When I run the command:
cpan
I see an endless stream of:
Press SPACE and ENTER to disable ftp
Press SPACE and ENTER to disable ftp
Press SPACE and ENTER to disable ftp
...
Pressing SPACE, ENTER, and/or SPACE+ENTER has no effect.
My cygcheck.out is attached.
Any suggestions?
David

The maintainer observed:
The 'gcc-4' wil be coming from your perl configuration, indicating
that your perl was compiled with 'gcc-4'.
His observation appears to be correct:

Re: rsync hanging
* Kevin Bond (Sat, 9 Jan 2010 10:10:08 -0500) Hello, I am trying to use rsync in cygwin but it seems to be hanging. Right after it asks me for password of my host the 'building file list...' message displays then hangs. I can ssh into the host fine. Any ideas? I was having rsync issues under Cygwin 1.5: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2009-12/msg00536.html Yesterday, I did a fresh install of Cygwin 1.7. Now rsync over ssh works as expected. :-) Thanks, Cygwin team!

RE: rsync hangs on big transfer Debian 5.0.3 pulling from WinXP SP3/ Cygwin 1.5.25
Debian Users, Cygwin, Rsync:
I'm having trouble with rsync invoked on Debian 5.0.3 pulling files from
Windows XP SP3/ Cygwin 1.5.25. I posted to the Debian User and Cygwin
mailing lists [1] and thought I was done two days ago, but I wasn't --
after several hours of use of the Windows machine, rsync would again
hang on Debian.
To summarize, rsync pulls in perhaps 1,000 files from C:\Documents and
Settings, and then hangs indefinitely.
Adding the --timeout parameter seemed to fix the problem last night, but
it's back again tonight.
I've tried adding ten levels of verboseness to rsync (-vv), but
no additional information is produced beyond three (-vvv). I don't see
any clues in /var/log on either machine. Are there any other means for
giving visibility to what's going on, other than compiling a debugging
version, running rsync in a debugger, etc.?
A new cygcheck.txt and console session are attached.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David

rsync hangs on big transfer Debian 5.0.3 pulling from WinXP SP3/ Cygwin 1.5.25
Debian Users Cygwin: I have a Perl/ rsync backup script that pulls files from a Windows XP Professional SP3/ Cygwin 1.5.25 machine. The script worked fine on one Debian box (5.0.1 upgraded to 5.0.3), but consistently hangs 1,000+ files into a large transfer after I moved it to a fresh Debian 5.0.3 box.

cygwin: I installed a fresh copy of Cygwin and a fresh copy of the Cygwin OpenSSH service on a fresh installation of Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit yesterday: 1. Download Cygwin Setup to C:\cygwin\setup\setup.exe. 2. Run Cygwin Setup: a. Install from Internet (default). b. C:\cygwin root directory (default). c. Install for all users (default). d. Unix/ binary default text file type (default). e. C:\cygwin\setup local package directory (default). f. Direct connection to Internet (default). g. ftp://mirrors.kernel.org download site. h. Select source packages to match base/ default packages. i. Create Desktop and Start menu shortcuts. 3. Start Cygwin Bash Shell, then exit it. 4. Run Cygwin Setup again: a-g. Same as above. h. Select 'openssh' package. Setup will select dependencies. Select source packages for all of these. i. No need to recreate shortcuts. 5. Start Cygwin Bash Shell and wrestle with ssh-host-config, 'net start sshd', and /var/log/sshd.log, rebooting several times along the way for the sake of paranoia. In the end, I need to make four system changes to get sshd working: a. 'chmod 0777 /etc/passwd' -- overkill, so that ssh-host-config could create the cyg_server account. (I changed permissions to 0644 afterwards.) b. 'chmod 0777 /etc/group' -- more overkill for ssh-host-config. (I changed permissions to 0644 afterwards.) c. 'chmod 0777 /var' -- more overkill for ssh-host-config. (I left it that way.) d. 'chown cyg_server /var/empty' -- necessary to start the sshd service.

Is there anybody who successfully installed OpenSSH server on their Vista Business/Ultimate PCs? I just built a machine using a Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 32-bit OEM DVD this weekend. Once Vista was installed and activated, I discovered that the Administrator account was disabled by default. I did some work using the administrator-level account I created during installation, but I didn't like this approach -- I wanted the real Administrator account. So, I STFW and enabled it using the Local Users and Groups MMC console: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766343.aspx I finished up with the real Administrator account, including installing Cygwin and sshd. I made the changes noted above plus another (/var?), and had the script create an account to run sshd. sshd works.

RE: What is the most painless way to move Cygwin to another box?
Wes S wrote: What is the most painless way to move Cygwin to another box? I've developed the habit of taking copies of the C:\cygwin\setup folder from time to time (usually before an update) and putting them into a date/time stamped folder (e.g. holgerdanske-cygwin-20090412). I also download both binaries and source code for all packages. This gives me a couple of options: 1. I can install matching copies of Cygwin on multiple machines. 2. If Cygwin breaks, I can move the entire C:\cygwin folder aside (e.g. backup), create a new C:\cygwin, copy in one of my saved \setup trees, reinstall from the local packages, and then move over my data and configuration files (e.g. restore). 3. I can burn disks and/or install Cygwin on other people's machines and be in compliance with the GPL.

Evgeniy wrote: At main office we have a data storage server I use rsync to move files between and within Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD machines. All are running sshd. I create a dpchrist account on each machine, create ssh DSA keys for each account, and copy the public keys to the authorized_keys files on all machines. Once I log into any one machine, I can ssh into any other without passwords, pass phrases, etc.. Not having to enter pass phrases means that I can script rsync, etc., over ssh and not have to be there when the script runs. Note that some would say this approach is a security risk. YMMV Scripts on my machines put backup images into various folders. Permissions are set accordingly. I have a Windows XP Pro SP3/ Cygwin machine with a USB hard drive connected as drive Q: that is the destination for all backup images for all machines. A script on my XP machine uses Cygwin rsync to copy the backup images from the other machines to the USB drive. For example, pulling in daily backup tarballs from my FreeBSD CVS server: /usr/bin/rsync -rt --ignore-existing --stats [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/backup/p3800/ /cygdrive/q/backup/p3800/ Looking at your Cygwin rsync incantation: rsync -Wvrt --ignore-existing --progress -e ssh.exe -i C:\id_dsa [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/x/ /cygdrive/z/ Always use absolute paths for tools; don't rely on $PATH. cron will thank you. I tend to avoid -W, especially over a network. -v and --progress are nice while troubleshooting, but I remove them once things are working. -r and -t are wonderful. :-) --ignore-existing can be a mixed blessing. Windows Media Player and Access seem to change files merely for opening them, even if you I don't make changes. This option saves wasted effort. But, I need to put those files into a separate directory because of the different rsync policy. A related issue is mtime resolution on Unix, NTFS, and FAT32 file systems. I think you can avoid -e by using ssh keys without pass phrases in default locations: -e ssh.exe -i C:\id_dsa Your source and destination directories make me wonder -- they look like filesystem roots. If so, that could be your problem. The only time I rsync filesystem roots is when I'm on XP and I want to copy a decommissioned C: drive image to another drive manually. Everything scripted is in non-root directories. Another possible problem could be that you have a 4 GB+ file -- take a look.

Macalalad, Jun wrote: Thanks David. Thanks again for the help You're welcome. :-) Please help someone else if/when you have the chance. Please keep this thread on the Cygwin list so other people can find it (e.g. hit Reply to All). Cron works on other scripts but not with a perl script. If it's the environment (we are running korn instead of the bash default), it might be good to create a wrapper script in korn shell. It's been a while since I used the Korn shell, but I seem recall that it also processed a profile script for interactive logins (.profile?). You should read the Korn shell manual page to find out and/or get a copy of the O'Reilly book (I have one and it was very helpful when I was using the Korn shell): http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/korn2/index.html Does cron use bash default profile for the login to run? That could be the key. It's also been a while since I had to solve cron problems, but I believe cron doesn't use any shell -- it just launches whatever program and arguments you feed it (via one of the exec() calls?). So if you want to run shells, scripts, etc., you have to do whatever set up your code expects.

RE: sshd problem on Windows 2003
Len Jacobs wrote: ... sshd ... The services have been working, but now they are not ... /var/empty directory ... I moved my C:\cygwin directory aside today and did a fresh install of Cygwin on Windows XP Professional SP2. I also found that sshd would not start. There was a clue regarding ownership of the above directory in /var/log/sshd.log. After RTFM, STFW, and beating my head against the monitor to no avail, my work-around was to go back to a working Cygwin image from November 2006. As an aside, it seems that Cygwin has become less stable since support for Vista was attempted. Once again, I can only conclude that the underlying problem is insufficient testing of Cygwin and its components. I understand that this is a monumental, tedious, and largely thankless task. I volunteered to help with such a few years ago, and the silence was deafening. When I spoke up about that, I was flamed by key Cygwin maintainers. We'll see what kind of responses this paragraph generates. I've searched around and tried various Unix/GNU on Windows alternatives over the years, but no free (as in freedom nor as in beer) product seemed better. I used MKS Toolkit at one employer for a while; it was a fairly nice Unix tool chain, but I prefer GNU. Given the lack of a significant revenue stream for Cygwin and for GNU/OSS tools, I don't see the stability situation improving. My strategy remains to take a copy of the C:\cygwin\setup tree every now and then, and keep the images for a long time. Given the GPL and the fact that I rarely download source code for Cygwin and/or its packages, I cannot share my Cygwin images.

RE: Perl Device::SerialPort problem
aliko is having troubles with Cygwin, HOME, Perl, and/or CPAN. When you start a Cygwin Bash shell for the first time, there are at least two possibilities: 1. Your HOME environment is not set, Cygwin creates the directory C:\cygwin\home\USERNAME, and copies in .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.. This is how I set up my machines, and everything works as I expect (including Perl, although I've run into problems with CPAN and try to avoid it; manually installing packages is safest). 2. Your HOME environment variable is set, and Cygwin goes off down the garden path. I don't run my systems this way. It would appear you have the later case. To get to the former, go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment Variables and take a look at your User and System variables. If HOME is set and you didn't set it manually, something else did. So, removing HOME may fix Cygwin and break something else.

All three cases work fine for me on cygwin perl 5.8.6 with default

Having the scripts on textmounts and on binmounts.
Just if the scripts are on textmounts and the files with CRLF, test0

test1 will fail. PERLIO not set.
However:
PERLIO=crlf ./test1

PERLIO=crlf ./test0
works ok, with those textmount cases.

RE: Checking XCOPY Exit Value in Cygwin Bash
Shane: Thank you for the tip. Actually I am using Visual Source Safe as the Source Management tool. I was considering the use of CVS, but decided against at the last moment because most of the fellow developers including me, had been using VSS for a considerable amount of time, and felt that the migration from a VSS to CVS would take a some time. Similarly for Make. We are primarily a group of developers who are conversent with MS Windows than the Unix environment. Cygwin basically gives us the power of bash scripting and the ease of Windows at the same time. :) Visual tools can give neophytes a boost, but typically become cumbersome as complexity increases. Command-line tools require more learning effort up front, but scale better because they are completely customizable. I agree that integrating Visual Studio products, CVS, and/or Make is a non-trivial undertaking. (The roles tool smith and build meister come to mind.) But, I'm now learning C#, .NET, ASP.NET, Mono, Apache/mod_mono, etc., and will be going through this process by necessity. (I'd like to be able to write C# libraries and build/run console and web applications on both Windows and Debian GNU/Linux). What I am trying to do is, checkout the source to the build directory and if there are any local changes in my working directory copy them to the build directory, build and do a test run from there. This is so that I can test my code before I do the actual check in. Make has RCS (and CVS?) integration features that allow it to do a checkout/ update prior to a build. However, I typically use the tools separately, so I can control what happens when and see the results before deciding what to do next.

RE: Reading Term::ReadKey support for ActiveState Perl and Cygwin
Paul Dorman wrote: I've been racking my brains trying to read keystrokes in a Cygwin shell with ActiveState Perl. I've tried using ActiveState Perl with Cygwin more than once in the past (to experiment with Perl/Tk scripts?). It was difficult. I seem to recall that invoking ActiveState from within Cygwin was very confusing. Running ActiveState-specific Perl scripts from a DOS box and using Cygwin Bash boxes for editing, version control, etc., was much easier to understand. I also seem to recall that sometimes I would run a Perl script within Cygwin and it would fall through to ActiveState Perl (missing a library in Cygwin Perl?). Perhaps I would have better luck now that I know more, but my needs are command-line scripts and Cygwin with Cygwin Perl gets the job done. I recently evaluated Microsoft Services for Unix (SFU), which aims to provide a Unix subsystem and GNU tool chain running on top of the Windows kernel: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/default.mspx Here is a commercial company that is closely aligned with SFU (I don't quite understand the relationship): http://www.interix.com/ They have OSS add-on tools: http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/warehouse.aspx I'm reasonably certain SFU uses ActiveState Perl. I don't know if it's the standard ActiveState Perl we can download and install for Win32, or a special SFU build. Unfortunately, I ran into some deal-breaker issues with SFU: 1. SFU sets a number of environment variables (including PATH), which broke Cygwin Perl's ability to make modules. 2. SFU uses Unix line endings by default. I need tools that work with DOS line endings. The SFU developers think that line endings should be dealt with on a per-application basis, not by the tool chain. Some tools do accept both Unix and DOS line endings. The SFU developers were responsive to my request to get SFU Bash working with DOS line endings, but it isn't ready yet: http://www.interix.com/tools/tm.aspx?m=9028 Another possibility for a OSS GNU tool chain on Windows is UWIN, from ATT: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/ This statement from the UWIN page looks promising, given my needs: Most of the UNIX API is implemented by the POSIX.DLL dynamically loaded (shared) library. Programs linked with POSIX.DLL run under the WIN32 subsystem instead of the POSIX subsystem, so programs can freely intermix UNIX and WIN32 library calls. I hope to evaluate UWIN soon.

Christopher Faylor wrote: Please don't discuss other, competing products here. Looking at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html I see the paragraph: Finally, make sure when you send a message to a Cygwin list that it actually has something to do with Cygwin. ... I agree with a policy that posters need to respect the limited time and resources of the Cygwin project and of their fellow mailing list users. But, I do think discussion of competing GNU tools on Windows on the Cygwin mailing lists is both relevant and beneficial to the Cygwin project: 1. Knowing what the other guys are doing and what real users think about Cygwin and the competition is valuable information -- it represents free marketing study data and feature wish lists for Cygwin developers and free product comparisons and real-life experiences for Cygwin users and prospective Cygwin users. 2. Seeding the Cygwin mailing lists with keywords from competing products will result in search engine hits that may win over converts. 3. Last but not least, the open-source software (OSS) movement used to have at its core the concept of Freedom, including Freedom of Speech. OSS projects were simply assumed by the OSS community to allow freedom of speech (within reason); those that did not invited protest and/or rejection.

RE: serial ports
Dave Korn wrote: Well then, that's a really good argument for just using the builtin access that cygwin provides through /dev/ttySx instead, isn't it? The way Oliver's original post reads suggests that he was just thrown off by not seeing any devices under the virtual /dev dir, but that doesn't mean it won't work for him if he tries it. As they say in Perl parlance, TIMTOWDI (there's more than one way to do it). If Oliver is a C, etc., programmer fluent in the /dev/ttySx API, then it could work. But if Oliver wants to write idiomatic Perl and get his application going faster and easier, then he wants to use standard and accepted CPAN libraries rather than roll his own (especially non-portable ones). Win32::SerialPort (Windows) and Device::SerialPort (Unix/Linux) are the best approach under Perl. One or both may work under Cygwin; I haven't done serial port programming in a number of years, and needed ActiveState Perl the last time I did. YMMV.

Making and selling a Cygwin distribution
I wrote: I'm curious -- why would you want to install Cygwin on GNU/Linux when most GNU/Linux distributions already include GNU tools? William A. Mahaffey III wrote: I don't :-). I want to install it on my GTW WIN2K box from the Linux box, since the WIN2K box has no internet access, thus setup.exe can't work in its usual way of going to the web for the cygwin files to install :-). It sounds like what you really want is a downloadable ISO image. I'm pretty sure there is no such thing, at least not official and free (Cygnus Solutions and Red Hat have sold Cygwin in various forms over the years, currently http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/). The Cygwin Setup FAQ item #1 is pretty explicit that setup.exe is the only supported means for getting and installing free Cygwin: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.setup That said, I figured out how to create my own Cygwin distribution CD using an Internet-connected Windows machine: 1. I create the directory C:\cygwin\setup. 2. I download setup.exe into the above directory. 3. I run setup.exe, configure it to use the above directory as the Local Package Directory, and download the packages I want. 4. I run setup.exe again and install the packages. 5. I copy everything in C:\cygwin\setup to a distribution folder and burn it to CD. 6. As time goes on and I download/install more packages, I repeat step #5 when I want to make a new distribution CD. To use the distribution CD to install Cygwin on another Windows machine: 1. I create the directory C:\cygwin\setup. 2. I copy the contents of the distribution CD to the above directory. 3. I run setup.exe and tell it to install from local directory. I've wondered if it is permissible to make and sell a Cygwin distribution (CD, DVD, downloadable ISO, etc.). Looking at the Cygwin license page: http://www.cygwin.com/licensing.html I think so (because the GPL allows you to do that), but I'm not a lawyer. Google'ing cygwin.com for distribution yielded many hits. This one reminds me that I would need to include sources: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/1999-03/msg00233.html Does anybody on the list know the current authoritative answer for making and selling a Cygwin distribution?
