Hmm, well it might or might not be, it depends what method it's using to determine the native mode. If it was simply fopen()ing a file in text mode and writing, it would of course respect textmode mounts automatically. Perhaps it manages it all manually by always writing in binary mode, and it inherently assumes that all filing systems operate in the same textmode, and some test it does misleads it? It also depends on the attitude of the upstream maintainers to accepting platform-specific patches. Well, it might be very well that Subversion always uses binary mode for file I/O, it will even convert text files on its own if the svn:eol-style property is set (unless your file has no mixed EOLs). OTOH it cannot know that an environment uses two different native modes, that's quite a Cygwin speciality.

A good question. I haven't implemented anything yet, so we can choose

setup will read. How about simply \Software\Cygwin\rootdir?
That reminds me of something... I've always been a bit annoyed that
people always resort to manually editing the registry to
remove Cygwin,
when umount is the documented and preferred method. But now, we will
have no such utility to suggest and so to remove Cygwin the
user will be
forced to use regedit.
regtool remove {HKLM,HKCU}\Software\Cygwin\???
Combined with the fact that most
users trip over
the fact that sometimes ACLs on files like /var/log/sshd.log require
them to take ownership before deleting, I would like to be
able to offer
an uninstaller. This would handle checking for running
Cygwin processes
and prompting to exit them (or terminating them), stopping and
uninstalling all Cygwin services, deleting the entire Cygwin tree,
removing start menu and desktop icons, removing everything from the
registry, and whatever else is necessary. It would be the nuclear
option, deleting without remorse all traces with one click; I think
users want this. It would of course be a standalone MinGW app like

MS cl can no longer be used with cygwin make as of 3.81. Gosh, we used Cygwin's make in Unix mode for DOS-based and Cygwin based utilities already ~10 years ago. And those make files were also used to compile and build on other platforms like Solaris, Irix, Linux, HP-UX and OS/2. I've published those make functions doing all the work in 1999 here on the list and gave in the last weeks more than once a pointer. - cygwin will no longer maintain the patch to make that allowed it to recognize driver letters in paths. And it is not necessary and it was never. So why increase the burden of the maintainer for nothing. Cygwin has everything to convert the paths and you can write platform independent make files even for DOS-based tools - just hide away the differences with macros and make functions.

I create here an additional sshw.exe that sets the -mwindows linker switch. The
result is still a Cygwin app that seems to work normally from the command line
and works also called as background process without popping up a console window.
Two questions:
1/ Corinna, could you provide this version with next OpenSSH releases, too?
Setting the appropriate property in the Subversion config to this sshw.exe,
makes the SVN Clients in the Windows worlds happy. Neither Subclipse nor
RapidSVN show these steadily popping up console windows anymore, nor does the
command line version of Subversion behave differently.
2/ If linking a normal console app as Windows console app does not behave
differently, why is it not the default? What's the real difference for Cygwin?
It is still a Cygwin app and is normally listed in the Cygwin processes. I
cannot say too much about the pipe and forking stuff, but something like tar
cf - *.sh | sshw spk1 tar xf - works just normal.

If you don't want to assume that /etc is a parallel directory to /bin, where you've loaded cygwin1.dll from, you can also provide this configuration file directly at the location of the cygwin1.dll. This would also enable a mounted /etc. - Jörg -- 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/

Documents and Settings is localized. Humm, not nonsense (it works for English), maybe not correct... (is this retrievable for replacement?) May also not work for English, cygdrive is just a default value and is settable. In case of my system: $ mount -p Prefix Type Flags /mntsystem binmode You may *assume* it is called cygdrive for a new installation, but if there are registry entries left from an old one ... Anyway, the idea (if not the impl) stands, when a network user installs cygwin HOME is set to doc settings. When a local user installs HOME is set to /home/user. So, should network user functionality be changed? (assuming it's possible to get the localisation) $ cygpath -H Personally I use a mount for home: $ mount ... C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen on /home type system (binmode) ... But this is *my* preference only (and applies not for Win95, Win 98, Win NT etc. anyway). Additionally in the pattern /home/user may not apply for newer Win OSses also, since the user's profile directory may not have the name of the user and unfortunately this information cannot be retrieved from cygpath, you may read directly from the registry. - Jörg -- 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: scp exits often with -1
Hi Bob and Pierre thanks for your analysis so far. Bob Byrnes wrote on Friday, November 19, 2004 5:49 PM: I spent a little time looking at these straces and scp -v output. I still don't understand what's going on, but it seems to be unrelated to the recent pipe changes. I say that because those changes only affected select for writes on pipes, and the problem seems to be on the read side. It looks like scp and ssh are sending only single bytes across the pipe when the failure occurs, so the pipe is almost empty, and (correctly) always selects writable anyway. Something is making the pipe disappear, causing PeekNamedPipe to fail for the ssh process in the select for read on pipes code (which has not been changed). Either something is going catastrophically wrong with the pipe at a very low level, or the scp process is closing it in a way that ssh does not expect. So far, I can't tell which is happening, but I did note one significant difference in the scp -v output: only the good invocation has ... debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0 An examination of the ssh sources to see what this means might be enlightening, but I don't have time to do that right now. This debug output is generated calling function client_input_channel_req in clientloop.c. This means, that the function is not called in the bad case. This method is only referenced in the same file in function client_init_dispatch_20 in the call dispatch_set(SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST, client_input_channel_req);. This constant is only used in serverloop.c also to initialize a dispatcher function and in channels.c in the function channel_request_start calling packet_start(SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST);. I have to admin, that this does still not really help yet, since it does not give any hint, why no packet with exit-status was received at all in the bad case. Looking into function dispatch_run of dispatcher.c I can only guess, that for some reason the call to packet_read_poll_seqnr returns SSH_MSG_NONE. As Pierre already stated, the trace just has this difference of 120 vs. 64 read bytes in line 4538 and the following call for the debug output. :( - Jörg -- 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/

My reason for stating this is that the majority of people who send strace output snip the wrong part. Often people snip something that they think shows a problem and send that lines and the next hundred lines. It turns out to be wasted bandwidth. That's the reason, why I just sent the first part, where the initialization of all the pipes and forked processes can be seen and the last part, when scp is shutting down the processes again. I think the middle part, observing scp looking into the private keys and sending the file, is quite useless for this problem. strace is a tool for people who are willing to look at source code. Sending megabytes of an unsolicited strace before someone has indicated that they are willing to help is usually pointless. Yeah, understand that. FWIW, I ran scp in a loop sending a large file to a system on my local network and to sourceware.org for hours a couple of days ago without problems. Since I call from Java always strace -o /tmp/scp.strace scp I don't have the problem also. It's slow, but works. Too weird :( At least I could reproduce it without Java also. FWIW. If this is a problem with the new pipe code then maybe Bob Byrnes could offer some insight. As said, I'll take any further action to isolate it.

Hi folks, although I've reinstalled Xorg and now the X11 libs are present, libfontconfig-devel seems still have problems. I reassured, that the downloaded package, that was reinstalled today, includes the fontconfig/fontconfig.h file, but the header files were not installed though. - Jörg
RE: X11/Xlib.h missing
Hi Alexander, same situation here. I took Install fom Internet, verified that in the downloaded archive are all files available, but none of them made it to the directory. Also tried to uninstall all packages from X11 category and installed them again - nothing, the core packages put their files in place, but none is extracted from the -devel package :( Attached were rejected because of size. - Jörg

You might get problems with the strict setting otherwise. The above given paths are the sum of the minimal paths given on 9x and NT. /WINDOWS is given on both, /WINDOWS/COMMAND is given on 9x/Me, /WINDOWS/system32 and /WINDOWS/system32/Wbem are the paths on NT systems. I don't see a need so far to extend these paths since $PATH doesn't need to have all paths you can think of, but the minimal paths which allow to run applications from a subprocess of a daemon. The important paths are the ones which contain DLLs, not even the paths to Windows native commands are really necessary for that. Yeah, that's clear, but I thought back at the time I tinkered with strict myself. At that time cygpath -S just returned the value of GetWindowsDirectory(), but unfortunately the physical entry on the disk was different concerning case. IIRC GetSystemDirectory delivered C:\WinNT\Sytem32 for my system, but e.g. `cygpath -S`/ping with strict failed because in reality it was C:\WinNT\system32. Therefore I've implemented in cygpath an additional lookup with GetFirstFile. The structure filled with this call had luckily the name of the directory with the real orthography. Since I believe you've seen more Windows versions than me (and my job does no longer force me to keep track of portability issues for the different Windows versions), I just want to point out, that you cannot rely on the Windows system calls concerning orthography. Additionally I am not sure if e.g. /WINDOWS/system32/Wbem is the really the same for all NT systems or if some have /WINDOWS/System32/wbem. For strict this matters though if you hard-code them.

This will work once, because the new files won't be there
yet. After that, the *.csv will pick up the new files as well..
Apart from that, you will overwrite the new file each time ;-)
$ for i in /cygdrive/d/pc1/*.csv; do cat $i | uniq /cygdrive/d/pc1/$1.new; done
Now you avoid that your new files are picked also and all new files have new names (a
.new appended).
Other approaches to do something like that:
find /cygdrive/d/pc1/*.csv -exec uniq \{} \{}.new \;
refer the manuals ...

RE: Problems with Make, VPATH and MS-DOS paths
Nate Bohlmann wrote on Monday, November 17, 2003 5:53 PM:
Hi,
I'm having a problem getting MS-DOS paths to work properly with
VPATH under GNU Make 3.80. The problem is that the VPATH processing
tacks on a Unix path separator ('/') to the end of the VPATH giving
me a source file name something similar to code\src\fw/foo.c. This
is a significant problem for the compiler I'm using (NOT gcc) since
it spits out map and list files based on the stem of the input source
name which it decides is 'fw/foo.c'. Because of this same compiler, I
cannot use Unix path names under a cygwin shell due to the fact that
it screws up the internal processing of this compiler. So, I would
like to know if it's possible to get the VPATH processing to use an
MS-DOS separator when generating source file names. I've tried using
the --win32 switch with no success.
Thanks in advance

If I invoke bison indirectly: bash -c /usr/bin/bison MyFile.y ... Then it works, so I suspect it's more to do with invocation than CRLF. What is the value of your CYGWIN enrironment variable? As a general question, is there generally a lot of difference between sources downloaded from GNU and one's acquired via cygwin? Or can one mix and match freely (bugs due to version differences notwithstanding)? Changes for a package are normally documented in /usr/doc/Cygwin.

(from procps package) (I found it after writing a similar script for solaris. ) And I already had it installed, too! Me, too. But your version can be enhanced to use ps with -W, while pkill cannot handle Windows processes at all. And I have to use an application, that leavs behind a dangling Java process ... :) -- Jörg -- 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: The incredible shrinking PATH
Mark Sheppard wrote on Friday, November 07, 2003 3:33 PM: We're getting a problem where a native windows console program invoked from an interactive Cygwin bash shell seems to be getting a truncated PATH environment variable. The windows program in question is Boost Jam and for some people it can't find a compiler that's definitely in a directory in their path. If they re-arrange the directories in their path to make the relevant one appear early on things start working. And the same command invoked from cmd works without having to re-arrange the path. Has anyone come across anything like this before? I had a quick search of the archives but nothing turned up. You might search for a limit in environment vars on this list. We had some threads about it lately including the reason.
