Since you wrote it doesn't for you, I suspect your binary was compiled with the internal (the default) or an external S-Lang. The Cygwin binary is linked against ncurses, as is my Linux binary from CVS as of March 17 (using ncurses 20040417). I suggest you report it to mc at gnome dot org if you can't reproduce it on Linux with a binary compiled with ncurses. Take in mind that ldd showing libncurses doesn't mean the binary is using it.

True. The man page is messed up. If the maintainer used CVS, he needs Yodl to generate it, what also raiser another issue. Since Yodl isn't part of Cygwin, one can't generate it from the source package.

Correct, but I consider it good news if you have Cygwin, don't have MinGW, can't afford MSVC, and also want to make a native Windows binary. > -mno-cygwin means "no cygwin" which means that cygwin is not > involved in this port at all.

Yes, but that was only to provide a smartctl binary for non Cygwin users. smartd hasn't yet been ported by Christian because -mno-cygwin and MSVC lack at least syslog.h, but it works with Cygwin. I think the only problems are those listed at http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ , and: 1- According to Christian, it seems you can't monitor 2 or more hard drives at the same time. I can only test on XP Professional with a single ATA drive. 2- smartd logs everything in Event Viewer. 3- Because Cygwin doesn't have mailx or nail, the e-mail facility doesn't work. Bruce said that a script using -M may make it work. Will see. May I ask why /bin/mail isn't in Cygwin ? Nobody volunteered ? http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg00460.html doesn't help. But the good news is the initial Cygwin port. I had tried 7 other Windows S.M.A.R.T. tools and suites (free and commercial), and IMO none were that good or actively developed / maintained. -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- 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/

If you are careful you > don't need anything specific to MinGW to run binaries compiled with it. I meant to compile, not run, so you don't need to install MinGW from http://www.mingw.org/ , just Cygwin and any required packages to use -mno-cygwin. Not all people are going to install both to make a native Windows binary that doesn't depend on cygwin1.dll, so it's nice that Cygwin provides it. > >>-mno-cygwin means "no cygwin" which means that cygwin is not involved > >>in this port at all.

Hmm. Where did I wrote that ? The -mno-cygwin smartctl is only available because not all users are going to install Cygwin. The Cygwin binaries (smartctl and smartd) compiled without -mno-cygwin are in a separate package. So, there's no reason for Cygwin users to install the -mno-cygwin smartctl (which is in a separate .zip file) unless they want to run it where Cygwin isn't installed. Anyway, it does no harm (yes, I tested) to run the native binary under Cygwin. It's like if you ran the native nslookup or something. I see -mno-cygwin is off topic. I should have avoided adding it in my first e-mail. > >May I ask why /bin/mail isn't in Cygwin ?

Good news for Cygwin ? Re: [smartmontools-devel]Windows port
I'm Cc'ing the Cygwin mailing-list since others may be interested in a S.M.A.R.T. tool that works with it. And someone may even be able to help you. I got it to compile under Cygwin (without -mno-cygwin). What I did: mv os_generic.c os_generic.c.old ln -sf os_win32/os_win32.c os_generic.c Then configure and make as usual. During configure I got: checking for sigset... no During make I got: /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:47: error: conflicting types for `strtoull' /usr/include/stdlib.h:174: error: previous declaration of `strtoull' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c: In function `strtoull': /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:49: warning: int format, different type arg (arg 3) /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:46: warning: unused parameter `base' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c: In function `make_device_names': /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:99: warning: unused parameter `devlist' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:99: warning: unused parameter `name' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c: In function `ata_close': /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:495: warning: unused parameter `fd' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c: In function `escalade_command_interface': /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:613: warning: unused parameter `fd' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:613: warning: unused parameter `disknum' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:613: warning: unused parameter `command' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:613: warning: unused parameter `select' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:613: warning: unused parameter `data' /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c: In function `aspi_io_call': /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:811: warning: long unsigned int format, HANDLE arg (arg 2) /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c: In function `aspi_close': /d/Linux/smartmontools/sm5-Windows/os_generic.c:849: warning: unused parameter `fd' So, I commented the "Quick hack strtoull() for MSVC 6.0 using sscanf" part and it compiled.

Indeed, and this is the default, right ? I didn't change anything here: cmd.exe: Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem So, Windows applications shouldn't use any Cygwin files. sh.exe: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem So, Cygwin applications don't use Windows DLLs if the Cygwin ones have the same name. But here I changed it to export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$HOME/bin in profile. I really can't see what such applications are doing. A full scan on the hard drive ? Besides that it sounds like a PATH problem.

Why dou you ask ? If a non Cygwin application stopped working because it does the wrong thing to locate a DLL, I really doubt a Cygwin developer will care.

I had update -d -P in .cvsrc.
Without -d it still downloads djunpack.bat.
I thought -d was recommended, so any directories added to
modules you have checked from repositories are created when you
do an update. Will a cvs update take care of them for Cygwin ?
If yes, I can just use cvs -f update.

Yes, but it's something that will make all screen users not upgrade to 1.5.6 or downgrade to 1.5.5 when they see how broken it's. Broken dettach / reattach is nothing compared with such a problem.

cygwin1.dll snapshot messes up screen under rxvt
I noticed the latest cygwin1.dll snapshot messes up screen under rxvt. I haven't tried spapshots for quite a while, so it may be an old problem. I know screen isn't part of Cygwin, but it's very useful, even without the reattaching stuff. I'm using my package from http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/screen/ . The results with the default terminal (which I never use it since copy / paste accents never worked for me) are even worse, and also happen with 1.5.5, but here are screenshots with rxvt: http://www.pervalidus.net/tmp/screen-release.png is with 1.5.5. http://www.pervalidus.net/tmp/screen-snapshot.png is with latest snapshot. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- 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: irc client (irssi) problem
I guess he's talking about irssi, which isn't part of Cygwin. ircII doesn't include Perl support. But I'm not sure since he used 'irc'. There are 2 binaries I know of, one I built and doesn't have Perl support - http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/irssi/ The other, which is older, has and is at http://koti.mbnet.fi/blue/irssi-win32/ As I stated on my site, I intend to make a 0.8.8 binary, and another if it builds with Perl.

Yes, I'm using your patch. Everything seems to work fine,
except what I listed at
http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/screen/ . I consider these and
using the latest version (4.0.1) important if someone wants to

Pine 4.58 for Cygwin takes a very long time to close a certain IMAP INBOX
I don't know what's wrong, but can't reproduce with the
same versions of PC-Pine and Pine for Linux.
I have 5 IMAP accounts. The main INBOX is fastmail.fm.
The others are
incoming-folders=PostaccessLite {mail.postaccesslite.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED],
PostaccessLite-fredlwm {mail.postaccesslite.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED],
Bluebottle {mail.bluebottle.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED],
MyRealBox {imap.myrealbox.com/ssl/user=xxx}INBOX
When I switch from one of the PostAcessLite accounts to
another, no matter if they're empty, have a single message, or
more, Pine stays at the "Closing folder foo" for a very long
time, like 30s to 1 minute, and then opens the one I select.
I have all latest packages on XP Professional SP1 with all
updates, and use NTFS.
Since PostacessLite doesn't seem to allow new users to create
accounts, I'm willing to let Eduardo log in mines.
Or let me know how to "debug" it. Pine's -d imap4 doesn't show
anything different.

Redistributing cygwin1.dll on a site turns out to be a bad idea
I distribute some binaries since 1 1/2 year, and was also always redistributing the latest cygwin1.dll (and making the sources available from the same sites due to the license) to make people's life easier, but it turns out a lot of people were only downloading it, mainly because one of my pages is the 10° result of a search for download+cygwin1.dll on Google. Let me know if there's a better link to point them. I used http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/cygwin/ since I also list http://www.cygwin.com/ and http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe on every page. So, I just changed it to: I no longer distribute cygwin1.dll, mainly because most people were only downloading it, while my intention was to make it available only for who needed to run my binaries. If you want it, download the latest cygwin-1.X.Y-Z.tar.bz2 from http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/cygwin/ and extract it. The DLL is in usr/bin/. Various Windows applications can handle .tar.bz2. Also, I no longer distribute the Cygwin sources (cygwin-1.X.Y-Z-src.tar.bz2), which were required by the license. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- 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/

Yes, but once you get it set up in the script... I don't know how Cygwin handles it (maybe I should download some source packages - I'll), but the Linux distributions seem to just split it without recompiling the whole thing various times with --enable-languages=c++ (you don't need to specify c), then --enable-languages=c++,java etc. An example which works and may help Gerrit (I use the resulting C and C++ packages) is the 3.3.1 script from Slackware - http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-current/testing/source/gcc-3.3.1/gcc.SlackBuild I guess Cygwin doesn't need a separate C++ package. Space matters when you enable all languages. In the above, the resulting .tgz packages use 9.116.303 bytes for C and C++, and more 21.065.308 for the other languages.

Probably, but before I'd do a search for "Sami Tikka" on Google and try to get an answer. http://susiraja.lnet.lut.fi/~redneck/ was edited yesterday and has an e-mail. If he doesn't reply, don't wan't to maintain it anymore, or you don't find anyone to take the job, go ahead. Anyway, I suggest anyone to use ELinks, which is IMO much better than Links. And the only advantages Links2 has over it are the graphical part (a must have mainly on Linux, where you can use it on the console with SVGAlib or framebuffer), and some JavaScript support. But I read all these will be added / merged in ELinks (hopefully soon). -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- 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/

PKG_CONFIG_PATH and XFree86
Maybe this should be directed to cygwin-xfree. I don't know,
really.
I read there are plans to make fontconfig a package. It
probably will go to /usr/lib along with FreeType (the
standalone sources also include a .pc file for it), but this
doesn't fix xcursor and xft.
XFree86-prog installs
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/{fontconfig,xcursor,xft}.pc, but
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig isn't in pkg-config's search path.
bash-2.05b$ pkg-config.exe --libs fontconfig
Package fontconfig was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'fontconfig' found
Testing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc:
bash-2.05b$ pkg-config.exe --libs openssl
-lssl -lcrypto
Should pkg-config include /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig ? Should
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig be a symlink to /usr/lib/pkgconfig ?
Should PKG_CONFIG_PATH be set in /etc/profile ?
I just don't think the user should set PKG_CONFIG_PATH since
XFree86 is part of Cygwin. Just my opinion.

Well, I now have it installed, and could also reproduce with rxvt. Mikulas (the Links author and one of the Links2 developers) replied some days ago that Petr's (the ELinks author) workaround I've been using for ELinks wasn't the correct fix since I lose some Windows funcionality, but nobody gave a proper fix, so... The first problem was that accentuation didn't work without a change in os_dep.h: -#elif defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__) +#elif defined(_WIN32) For Links and Links2 you also have to remove the following from win32.c since you get undefined references at link time: void terminate_osdep () ... } Or remove it from os_dep.c, I don't know. Yes, these changes also "fix" your problem. Another problem remains, though. I compiled Links2 with graphical support, and with -g the accents don't work.

I have both (only C and C++), but manually installed them. I renamed the old binaries to *-3.exe and moved the old libstdc++.a and libsupc++.a to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2 , assuming it first searches them in that directory and not /usr/lib . I may be wrong.

smartmontools ?
I wonder it anyone has any plans to port it. Even the commercial S.M.A.R.T. suites for Windows aren't that good. I tried all. It'd be a nice addition, really. Unfortunately I'm not (yet) a programmer, still know very little about Cygwin, but got it to compile removing some code that may be needed but failed (like missing scsi/scsi_ioctl.h). At least --help worked. I don't know if major changes would be needed to at least support IDE drives. Bruce Allen (the author) removed linux/hdreg.h code (in CVS, not 5.0-18) to make it easier porting to other OS. BTW, how do I access /dev/hda under Cygwin or Windows ?

I agree that even on Linux this is usually the case, but not with lndir. 3.2.3 and 3.3.1 produced smaller binaries, while 3.2-3 doubled the size on Cygwin.

Yes, and I also used strip on Cygwin to see it -Wl,-s was really working. The Makefile is like: CC = gcc CFLAGS = -O2 -pipe -Wall LDFLAGS = -Wl,-s INCLUDE = -I. all: lndir lndir: $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDE) -o lndir $(LDFLAGS) lndir.c I just did $ make $ make LDFLAGS= $ make CFLAGS='-Os -pipe -Wall' $ make CFLAGS='-Os -pipe -Wall' LDFLAGS= $ make CC=gcc-2 and so on. Anyway, I'll later compile other things to see it the size changes that much.
