Re: G++ for CygWin
ok ok, I simplified the explanation a bit, remember it was in brackets at the bottom of a mail describing the solution to the questioner's problem. (I have no idea how technical the questioner is, and he'd have to be pretty technical to understand your explanation ;-) ) I don't know whether it was just cygwin that separated the packages or whether that's how gcc is recommended to be distributed now, but they *are* separate packages now. (in the cygwin world that I'm a part of, and the questioner is a part of) And I'm not saying they are independent of one another, obviously g++ depends on the core gcc package.

Apologies for not including the cygcheck. I thought it was clear that I'd installed the current version of cygwin from the mirror servers but I suppose there can be version differences and delays in the update of those mirrors. It was my first time reporting such a problem (with strace output) so forgive me, I'll include it next time.

Re: rsync/cygwin can't handle filenames with some character set
Actually, the problem I was having with rsync/cygwin and codepages was caused by cygwin's modification of file paths, ie. some Japanese encodings can cause a filename to have three backslashes (when viewed in Japanese it doesn't of course) in it. Cygwin seemed to be kicking in when it saw the backslashes to try and map windows drive shares or something like that. In the end I gave up and changed what I was doing to remain on linux and ended up using cygwin only for the very final stage (it is an automated backup system). - Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com -- 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: cygwin deadlocks due to broken select() when writing to pipes
Ok, well it wasn't 100% cured with the TTY flag removed but it stopped it being a 100% daily problem to an every other day or so problem (depends on the direction of the wind I think). Why does TTY affect the behaviour of rsync and cron jobs? Also, this may be a silly question, but why does it try to kill my cron jobs when I log off from my user?

Re: cygwin deadlocks due to broken select() when writing to pipes
Hi Chris, Actually I think I did mention I was running rsync hourly in a cron job, that's all I've been mentioning as far as I know. But anyway, this is 100% repeatable on my machine over the course of a day; try setting up a cronjob to run every hour that rsync's a gig or so of files over the intranet somewhere. Over the course of the day 1 in 4 of those cronjobs will still be hanging around doing nothing (cpu usage 0). The problem I have is that, since the Sep. 19th(?) version, when I log out or shutdown WinXP, these idling tasks are no longer forcibly killed (because they are idling deep in cygwin's lib code I suspect), but they used to be killed just fine with the version of cygwin before the 19th. Anyway, Right now I am resolved to having to leave my machine shutting down for hours on end each night :-( not a good solution really especially as I pay the electricity bills around here... ) Regards - Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com Christopher Faylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, Oct 31, 2003 at 12:44:54PM +0900, Dylan Cuthbert wrote: This could explain my problems running rsync as a cronjob I don't remember you mentioning that you were sending large amounts of data over a pipe before.

Re: long timeouts on shutdown/log off
Ok, more info The cron tasks are running as normal when I try to log off, its just that windows can't forcibly terminate them when it tries to close everything and has to sit there waiting for the cron jobs to finish (can be up to 30 minutes for backing up a lot of changes). The pre-20th September version of cygwin has no problem terminating the cron jobs (I still have several machines running that version and the same script), so what's changed in the latest version to cause this? I'm beginning to suspect It probably is to do with Pierre's permission stuff. Because the cron jobs are run from a daemon running as SYSTEM, the user log off procedure can't kill the parent task, but the children tasks *are* user tasks and maybe it can't kill these because they were created by SYSTEM? Just clutching at straws as right now I don't have my backup system working (unless I put up with 30 minute logoff times) and I want it back :-( Any help much appreciated. - Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com Christopher Faylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, Oct 17, 2003 at 07:50:34PM +0900, Dylan Cuthbert wrote: Ok, here are the ps results...

While in this in the process of logging off mode, start the TaskManager (or better yet have the TaskManager running when you attempt shutdown), then selectively start killing processes. If you kill a process and wham you logout that's probably the culprit! Note you cannot kill services with the TaskManager. You can either: Start the Services applet and attempt to shutdown the services or have a console window running and try net stop sevice name or do what I do, get Process Explorer from SysInternals which allows you to kill services.

Cygwin runs... for *some time* then when a cron job runs in the background on my particular domain user everything stops working with the above errors. (the cron job runs merrily along though every hour) I also have encountered another symptom where WinXP won't log off or shutdown properly after the cron job has run a no. of times (8 or 9). I haven't installed any other software or performed Windows Update since updating Cygwin and I've never had any problems logging off or shutting down ever before, so the finger points at the current problem child. I select Logoff or Shutdown, the machine just sits there doing nothing, the explorer interface is still active and I can open up explorer windows (I can't *run* anything because it is shutting down) and Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't bring up the Task Manager. Not a great situation.

Re: cygwin, Rsync and 8-bit chars (SJIS) (and managed mounts)
I've tried this out and it seems to work but as Igor pointed out, I can only use this on empty directories.

Re: Rsync / incorrect uids
No, the samba share part of mail was describing that I am using samba to be my Primary Domain Controller, because I thought that might have some effect on user ids. rsync access is via a rsync daemon running on the linux machine. I forgot to mention but Cygwin is setup as ntsec tty I know cygwin plays with the win2k user ids and group names to get them to look like linux users and paths so I thought maybe this was the problem. The rsync documentation says it matches users and group names by their names rather than use the ids directly, but it does have a mention of the case when the *source* is an rsync server so maybe this feature just doesn't work very well when using an rsync server as opposed to ssh for rsync's transport.

Re: RE: input stream crash with gcc 3.1
I tried this #define (in the newlib bits directory - cygwin uses newlib
right?), reconfigured and recompiled gcc 3.1, but the same problem occurs -
segmentation fault on the simplest bit of code that uses cin or ifstream or
stringstream. ( cout etc. works fine by the way).
I'll repeat the code snippet for clarification:
main()
{
std::string frog;
std::cin frog;
assert( 0 );
}
(it doesn't get to the assert and segment faults)
Any other ideas? :-/

Re: RE: input stream crash with gcc 3.1
Hmm.. I noticed some talk on a mailing list somewhere about problems with
locales... could it be to do with input streams trying to look up locale
info and getting null ptrs as a result?
I'll try compiling libstdc++-v3 with -g and -O0 and see how far I can get -
does gdb 5.1 work ok with gcc 3.1 output?
Regards

I just tried this too. Same result. I have been chasing (without success)
some libstdc++-v3 testsuite failures that are similar. That discusion is on
the libstdc++ mailing list. The advice was to try recompiling libtsdc++-v3
with CXXFLAGS=-g -O0 and use the debugger. This got me a little further
into the code.

Subject: Re: RE: input stream crash with gcc 3.1
I tried this #define (in the newlib bits directory - cygwin uses newlib
right?), reconfigured and recompiled gcc 3.1, but the same problem occurs -
segmentation fault on the simplest bit of code that uses cin or ifstream or
stringstream. ( cout etc. works fine by the way).
I'll repeat the code snippet for clarification:
main()
{
std::string frog;
std::cin frog;
assert( 0 );
}
(it doesn't get to the assert and segment faults)
Any other ideas? :-/

See this:

input stream crash with gcc 3.1
I have recently compiled the latest 3.1 branch (grabbed directly via cvs)
for cygwin (1.3.9) and am having problems when using anything related at all
to input streams.
ie. the simplest program:
(stripped for simplicity)
main()
{
string frog;
cin frog;
}
will crash with a signal exception after the user has input some text and
pressed return.
This seems inherent with all the input stream methods when using the
operator - ie. stringstream also crashes, and so does ifstream.
I've scanned the newsgroups and mailing lists and searched high and low but
I don't see anyone else with this problem so have I screwed something up
somewhere?
my gcc specs are attached.

Its pretty easy to grab the sources and recompile it for yourself, just follow the directions on the gcc homepage.

Re: cygwin gcc DLLs loaded by Visual C++ crashing - SOLVED
It surely doesn't matter if we aren't distributing our code to anyone other than ourselves, otherwise you've probably got millions of offenders of the GPL. We're only using cygwin to prototype some stuff, not to make any viable product as it just isn't stable/reliable/secure enough unfortunately (yet). Its a brilliant environment for creativity and experimentation though. Give me a break, I will update the FAQ with a patch just as I did for the DirectX/DirectDraw 8 stuff, if only for the knowledge that other people don't have to go trawling through thousands of pages of out-dated advice only to find none of it works (documentation karma). I'll also put that zip file up on the page below. (it works for both gcc 2.95.3-5 and 3.0.3 by the way) We're still getting some problems (an exception) unloading the dll we created, but only from within the Maya plugin. Apart from that it all seems to work fine so far. I think that problem has more to do with the way Maya calls its plugins (as static modules in memory) and is unrelated to cygwin I hope.

cygwin C++ DLLs and inter-operation with M$OFT
To anyone who can help, We've been having some fun creating DLLs that need to be loaded by some Visual C++ code. The code in the dll itself, ie. the interface is C so there aren't any name mangling problems. However, using v3.0.3 of GCC we get unresolved symbol errors for any libstdc++ we do within the dll. These errors don't occur after using the -V 2.95.3-5 option to gcc to revert to the originally packaged compiler - I had a good poke around but I couldn't work out why the symbols couldn't be resolved. Anyway, after reverting to 2.95.3-5, our test code compiles but when we call any cygwin dll code (from the VS application) we get an exception error in cygwin1.dll - if the code uses any stdlib type stuff (such as memory allocation, printf etc). There is no C++ code in there at all now. I've read through the faqs and documentation and searched the mailing list but I can't find any fixes for this problem (although a couple of other people do mention it). Is there just some obvious initialisation stuff I'm missing somewhere?

Re: RCS 5.7 (?) + setup.exe advice
Ah, I get it now, I had a full installation of an older version of cygwin and of course when I ran the setup program to update it doesn't automatically tell you about new packages, one of which was rcs. It isn't obvious to the average user (ie. me) to have to step through the rather large package list looking for skips to click through to install - I had already done that once and that was one time too many. Hence the confusion... A show new packages and a show un-installed packages addition to setup.exe might be a good (and simple/ie. easy to program) addition to the user-interface and probably solve the flurry of this kind of e-mail that gets sent every day.

Thanks for the quick response. Right now I'm just passing in the .lib files directly into GCC for linking and I can see why there would be problems if VS uses a different name mangling algorithm after your explanation. However, I'm kind of stuck at how to go about converting the .lib files into the native .a lib files gcc uses.

Re: DirectX8/DirectInput + cygwin
So have the direct3d/directsound .lib files that come with cygwin already been processed for use with C++? Or are they only useable from C too as you say?

It can't be done from C++ because of the way COM virtual tables work. GCC can't clone Visual C++'s method because Microsoft holds a U.S. patent on their exact method. Just try using MFC from GCC and you'll know exactly what I mean. In C, the virtual table system is done by actually creating the vtable structure in the header file, so this isn't a problem. If you modify the DirectX header files, you could fix this for C++, but you'd have to do -lpVtable all the time, like in C. GCC, or rather binutils, can't handle the Microsoft import library format. binutils of course has its own, so you could make your own from the DLL. If import libraries don't work, you could always GetProcAddress on DirectInputCreate8 after loading dinput8.dll. Then the problem becomes how to get to the weird global functions (D3DX matrix stuff, for instance). -- Barubary - Original Message - From: Dylan Cuthbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Cygwin@Cygwin.

Re: DirectX8/DirectInput + cygwin
If this is the case, does this mean the problem I'm getting with DirectInput8Create@20 not being found is due to differences in C++ name mangling as another poster mentioned only C libraries being able to link. Linking directly with the DirectX SDK .lib files cleared up all the unresolved errors apart from just this single one, but I'm only calling a few directx function calls as a test so presumably I'll come across the same problem when I start using more function calls. Thanks for the help, I feel I'm getting a few starting points to try out. - Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com - Original Message - From: Christopher Faylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 3:18 AM Subject: Re: DirectX8/DirectInput + cygwin On Wed, Feb 06, 2002 at 07:10:49PM +0100, Pavel Tsekov wrote: Christopher Faylor wrote: On Wed, Feb 06, 2002 at 12:11:58PM +0100, Pavel Tsekov wrote: Dylan Cuthbert wrote: I am linking directly with the .lib files supplied by Microsoft, and all the Directx8 GUID references seem to link fine so does anybody have any idea what the problem might be? Why ? Link against those in /usr/lib. gcc doesn't understand the MS export libraries. Actually, gcc/ld should understand non-c++ import libraries. Is this a new feature or I was missing something all the time ? What's the point of tools which build .a files from dlls ? If you have an existing .lib import library it should work fine with ld. This has been the case for years. This is not to say that there haven't been bugs over the years, but AFAIK, there aren't any in the current version of cygwin. If it helps you can rename foo.lib to libfoo.a so that you can add -lfoo to the command line. You can also link against the dll itself, in many cases: gcc -o foo.exe foo.c blah.dll cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: DirectX8/DirectInput + cygwin
Thanks folks - I found a mirror for the dx8 libs on Peter Puck's web site - http://rain.prohosting.com/urebel/download.html Also, Peter Puck's web site is down at the moment - hopefully it will come back up: it is: http://sites.netscape.net/ptrpck/directx.htm I'll try installing these today and see if I can make some progress, thanks to everyone for their quick response! I'll send a DirectX section to the FAQ maintainer once I get all this working as a kind of payback.

The site appears to be down at the moment, but if you google for dx8 Peter Puck you can probably find them, I believe these are MingW bindings, but they work fine with cygwin. Contrary to popular belief you can use the COM/C++ bindings. Gcc's default way of doing thunking is different than visual C's, but if you use the compiler option -fvtable-thunks it uses the vtable method. Due to this being a ABI change, you will need to build all your source files with this. This obviously does not fix the name mangling incompatibilities with Visual C, but on a COM interface such as DX, this does not matter. The biggest problem you will have are with DirectShow, and the D3DX libraries. DirectShow (or whatever it is called these days) has a C++ interface to it, and as such will only work with visual C's mangling scheme. So no joy there.. With D3DX, the problem is that the libraries are statically linked, and use Visual C++'s name mangling scheme for most of the internal symbols. This leaves them somewhat useless for any compiler rather than Visual C. There are 2 solutions to this. - don't use them, they are convenient, but not essential to DX programming. - Make a wrapper DLL for them with visual C. I believe someone has already done this to enable them to use the librarys in Borland C. A google search should yield some answers.

security with the ftp daemon
Hi there, I've set up the ftp server with inetutils on win2k, but I get a strange security hole. I've set permissions so that only "Administrators" can access the cygwin directories. The home directories are only accessible by their respective users and /bin is Everyone and read-only. However, after setting this up and rebooting the machine once, if I ftp in as a regular user I can access all the administrator priviledge directories (in read/write mode!) with no problem at all. Is this a known problem and is there a way to get it to work securely? Surely the ftp daemon should switch its user to the id of the person logging in?

Maya development tools and Cygwin
Hi there, Has anyone had any experience with the Maya development environment for win2k/xp? It is of course a Visual Studio-tuned environment it seems with a ton of dll's and header files and a few .lib files. I'm fairly new to this .dll/.lib game so how do I even begin to go about getting a devkit like this to compile in cygwin/gcc? (for this kind of stuff it would be cool if gcc had a Visual Studio-emulation mode :-), a kind of ultra-crippled mode) Regards - Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Newbie Question (+ installation and security questions)
I'd hate to cause a war of words, however I've been using cygwin extensively for a while now (even going to the extremes of manually compiling gcc 3.02, rcs, apache on it, ok ok it wasn't that hard) and I've read the Faq and the user documentation numerous times. I'm sure there it is in there somewhere, but I don't recall any mention of rxvt in the documentation (apart from it being a supplied package) and because Cygwin supplied icons on my desktop I thought that was the way everyone was using it. I'm glad to know there's an alternative. (strangely enough in the package-list info it says rxvt is a VT102 emulator for the x-window system which kind of implies it can't be used under a non-X Windows configuration). I also had a few problems finding info to begin with - for example, It was really difficult finding documentation on the inetutils package, mainly because I didn't know that inetutils held the programs I wanted to use (ftp daemon etc). Maybe the documentation needs some expanded sections to address stuff like networking and extended security. (ie. for tips like make sure you delete 'Everyone' from full access to all your drives/files etc once you install Cygwin) I have another question which isn't in the FAQ - is there any way to simply select *all* the *latest* packages for download from the Cygwin Setup utility? Maybe I'm overlooking a button or something? I'd also like to be able to turn off the automatic cygdrive or network-drive (\\machine_name) auto-mounts - is it possible? I'd still like to manually specify mount points for drives outside of the cygwin path-space maybe via fstab in /etc. Any thoughts? Seeing as the mail is big enough anyway, I'd like to mention that Cygwin is a great project - it provides not only a cheaper alternative to using Visual $tudio for development - it provides a *better* alternative.
