Re: porting Unix programs to windows
You need to clarify what you mean by port Unix C programs to Windows VC using cygwin means. As Brian has pointed out, Cygwin's headers are written for Cygwin's libraries, just as MSVC's headers are written for MSVC's libraries. You'll find that it's quite easy to port UNIX programs using Cygwin's automake, gcc, and so forth, provided you have the necessary dependencies installed. In what way are you porting to Windows VC? To me that means you either (a) want the program to link to the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, or (b) you do not want the program to link to the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. My recommendation: Use MSVC as an IDE only. Go into MSVC and make sure that the paths to the compiler, linker, assembler, preprocessor, etc., etc., etc., includes, libs, etc., etc., are all cygwin. You might even be able to get MSVC to use /bin/make. On Feb 3, 2008 4:15 PM, Wei Le [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I tried to port Unix C programs to Windows VC using cygwin. I hope the programs can be compiled and linked correctly under VC. However, it does not require that the programs run correctly. As the first step, I tried the compilation. I added sys/cygwin.h to the beginning of the unix C program. VC compiler reports errors: .. \iquery\iquery.cpp(100) : error C2660: 'printf' : function does not take 1 arguments .. \iquery\iquery.cpp(111) : error C2660: 'printf' : function does not take 1 arguments .. \iquery\iquery.cpp(134) : error C2660: 'printf' : function does not take 3 arguments .. \iquery\iquery.cpp(136) : error C2660: 'memcpy' : function does not take 3 arguments I added a statement printf(); to the program as a test, the compiler does not complain about that printf that do not have any paramters. What can I do to fix those compilation errors? Thanks.

Re: Cygwin/Xterm scroll while selecting text
Yeah, Thomas is right. I personally don't like the scrollbars, I just use the scrollwheel on my mouse to scroll up and down text in xterm. So my method for selecting a large amount of text is: - scroll to location of beginning text - right click once on exactly where i want to begin selection - scroll down with scrollwheel until end text is reached - right click again exactly where i want to end selection Of course, in conjunction with right-clicking, you could alternatively use the scrollbar ;-) On 5/4/06, Bill Shaffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All: I am sorry if this is a repeat question - I've searched for a while and haven't found anthing. is there a way to get xterm to scroll up or down while selecting text, when the cursor hits the top/bottom of the window?

Re: Redirecting bash stdin
Hmmm... I'll take a look at your code if I get time, but here's an inefficient (yet simple) solution that would at least work: You could start Cygwin/bash in an invisible DOS prompt window, and send commands to it by simulating keystrokes (PostMessage or SendMessage... WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP). Yeah, it's sloppy, but it would probably do the trick. On 4/21/06, Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm trying to get a mingw GUI application to pipe commands to cygwins bash by redirecting its stdin as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?id=190351. This nearly works. 1. Start app. 2. Spawn bash with redirected stdin. bash process visible in process explorer. 3. Send command1 to bash. No response. 4. Send command2 to bash. Response to command1 seen 5. Exit app. Response to command2 seen. Command1 and command2 start notepad with different files, so the response I'm expecting is a visible notepad window. I'm ensuring the commands are terminated with \n\0 and even tried \r\n\0 and \n\n\0. I'm flushing the write end of the stdin pipe with FlushFileBuffers. I've tried adding a 2nd WriteFile (just spaces and \n) to see if that flushes the buffer. It doesn't. The Microsoft documentation states that it is the responsibility of the child process (bash) to empty its stdin. I've tried a couple shells: ash and pdksh appear to work as expected. tcsh responds immediately but exits after the first command. zsh acts like bash. Does anyone know what I can do to get bash to respond promptly? Or will this approach not work with bash? If necessary I can put the code on the net somewhere. Thanks, Dave.

GDB Interrupts on Cygwin
When running a Windows application from GDB, GDB gives control to the application at a certain point. It would be nice to, at an arbitrary time, suspend the application and give control back to GDB. I know that I can set breakpoints, but sometimes I don't know exactly when I want to break until after I'm running the application. Ctrl-C supposedly sends the SIGINT signal to GDB, breaking the running application and restoring control to GDB. However, this does not appear to work, at least not on Cygwin. I've tried /bin/kill -f -s SIGINT pid. Sending SIGINT, or in fact any other signal, simply terminates the Windows application. I even wrote a simple program to suspend the Windows application at my command using the Win32 API function SuspendThread. While the program does indeed suspend, GDB remains locked. Perhaps there is some way to, using the Windows API, simulate a SIGINT signal, or another signal to break the program (perhaps SIGSEGV would be easiest). Perhaps GDB could be modified in some way--it could map Windows messages to UNIX signals. Or maybe it could look for keystrokes using Windows hooks rather than its current method (I'm not even entirely sure what its current method is). If anyone thinks any of these methods would be feasible, I would be happy to contribute code. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: GDB Interrupts on Cygwin
Yes, I'm running it from a Windows console. I had CYGWIN=tty, but I've now removed it, and Ctrl-C still isn't working. I tried the MinGW version of GDB. Still no Ctrl-C. I tried Bob's tty 'voodoo'. Still no Ctrl-C. I'm using GDB 6.3.50_2004-12-28-cvs (cygwin-special), I have also compiled GDB 6.4 but it crashes immediately upon trying to debug a program (I'm not interested in solving this problem for now). For anyone who has gotten Ctrl-C to work on Cygwin: what version of GDB are you using?

Even though this may seem strange, try this. Before starting GDB, type 'tty' at the console. Then, after you start GDB, run the command 'tty outputofttycommandfromconsole'. I think this will enable the ^c. This is a no-voodoo zone. CTRL-C works fine in gdb. I use it ALL of the time. Maybe the OP has CYGWIN=tty set or is trying to run from rxvt. If so, don't do that. Run gdb from a windows console and it should work fine. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: GDB Interrupts on Cygwin
I know. I removed it using the Environment Variables option in My Computer, logged off, and logged back on, went into Cygwin, and checked the $CYGWIN variable. tty was no longer there.

Windows programs in Cygwin/X ?
After much turmoil, I've managed to get a number of window managers running in Cygwin/X. What I'm wondering is this: Is it at all possible to allow my windows programs to be managed by my Cygwin/X window manager? Presently, if I'm in -fullscreen mode and I'm running some X programs, I'd have to alt+tab out of X and into explorer. If this isn't possible, what would I have to do to make it possible? Maybe write an X program to 'trap' the window of a Windows program into an invisible X window. Or something like that. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
