Latest update trashed my cygwin install
I updated and when it was running postinstall I got a large number of Entry point not found in cygwin1.dll popups. Now bash comes up in /usr/bin instead of my home directory and is badly hosed. /etc/profile is gone, and all the cygwin directories are missing from $PATH. What I'd like to do is reinstall from scratch, but would like to preserve the list of packages I have installed. Is there a simple way to extract a list of installed packages and then pass that to a new install? -- James GarrisonAthens Group, Inc. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]5608 Parkcrest Dr http://www.athensgroup.comAustin, TX 78731 PGP: RSA=0x92E90A3B DH/DSS=0x498D331C (512) 345-0600 x150 -- 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: Latest update trashed my cygwin install
Thanks for the reply. Reinstalling package 'base-files' seems to have restored normal operation. I found the install logs and can rerun the failed postinstall scripts. One question: Can the installer be fed a list of packages to install, or otherwise configured with a different default set of selections? (Wasn't there once a 'cyginstall' package that could be customized?) -- James GarrisonAthens Group, Inc. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]5608 Parkcrest Dr http://www.athensgroup.comAustin, TX 78731 PGP: RSA=0x92E90A3B DH/DSS=0x498D331C (512) 345-0600 x150 -- 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/

I uploaded the rxvt-cygwin terminfo file from Cygwin onto the Linux
system (into ~/.terminfo/r/rxvt-cygwin). Setting TERM=rxvt-cygwin now
allows the curses-based program to draw boxes correctly, but
apparently some substitution is going on because it's using plain old
hyphens and vertical bars for lines and plus signs for corners.
Terminfo doesn't seem to know anything about Unicode as far as I can
tell (or does it?). That leads to the question of how putting the
terminfo file on the Linux system caused the curses-based program to
output single ASCII characters where previously it was sending Unicode
sequences... something understood how to interpret the Unicode box-
drawing characters and replaced them with the nearest ASCII matches
+, | and '-'.
However, this IS NOT happening with Unicode quote characters. Here's
a snippet from the man page for terminfo itself, as displayed:
Entries in terminfo consist of a sequence of , separated fields
(embedded commas may be escaped with a backslash or notated as \054).
White space after the , separator is ignored. The first entry for
each terminal gives the names which are known for the terminal, sepa-
rated by | characters. The first name given is the most common
Those sequences turn out to be \xE2\x80\x99, which is the UTF8
encoding of the Unicode character Right Single Quotation Mark)
(U+2019).
Here's the full terminfo entry (decompiled with infocmp):

rxvt, ssh and utf8
I'm using rxvt to open an SSH session to a RedHat Enterprise Linux system. On that system I want to run an ansi-based app that happens to use Unicode UTF8 encoding for box-drawing characters. I can't seem to get rxvt to correctly interpret the UTF8. It just displays the 3-byte UTF8 sequences as three garbage bytes. Here's what I have tried so far: 1) Running rxvt with a Unicode font (Lucida Console) that I have verified (in Windows Character Map) contains the necessary characters at the correct code points 2) Setting the CYGWIN environment variable to tty utf8 by hand in the rxvt session 3) Setting the CYGWIN environment variable globally in Windows to tty utf8 so it is in effect when rxvt is launched. In no case does rxvt display the correct charcters. I've also noticed that commands like man are using unicode characters for single quotes now (UTF8 0xE28099 == U+2019) and these also display as garbage sequences of three bytes each. I did a search of the archives but found nothing appropriate. So, DOES the rxvt in Cygwin support UTF8? If yes, how do I enable it (There's nothing in the man page). -- James GarrisonAthens Group, Inc. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]5608 Parkcrest Dr http://www.athensgroup.comAustin, TX 78731 PGP: RSA=0x92E90A3B DH/DSS=0x498D331C (512) 345-0600 x150 -- 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/

cygreadline5.dll redux
This file appears to be missing. Before someone jumps on my case and says Search the archives I'd like to point out that a) The archives are highly polluted with messages containing cygcheck output that lists cygreadline5.dll. A search for just cygreadline5.dll returns hundreds of hits most of which have nothing to do with the problem. b) The archive search engine is too stupid to understand quoted strings meaning adjacency, so that searching for 'cygrealine5.dll not found' is equivalent to searching for the individual words. Since 'found' appears in cygcheck output, this does not reduce the number of hits at all. Could someone please either answer the question as to why some packages still require this library even though it does not appear to be included in the distribution, and then add the answer to the FAQ?

resize command hangs from ssh session
I've searched the archive and can't seem to find anything applicable. My problem: Win2000SP2 CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.3.6(0.47/3/2) 2001-12-08 17:02 i686 unknown OpenSSH_3.0.2p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f Open a Cygwin command shell (my default is configured to 80x45) ssh to a RH Linux 7.1 box Change the window size to, say, 80x60 Run the 'resize' command (on linux host) The text cursor jumps to the bottom-right corner of the window (this is normal) and just stays there (this is not normal). resize never returns. This behavior ALWAYS happens even if I don't physically resize the window (i.e. run resize immediately after logging in and it still hangs). I've tried setting TERM=ansi, TERM=vt100 and TERM=cygwin in the Linux shell with identical results. If I logout (back to cygwin shell) and re-ssh from the resized (80x60) window everything works and the COLUMNS and LINES environment variables are correctly set. As I understand it, resize sends a specific terminal control sequence that requests the hardware to reply with the current size. I assume that either cygwin's bash isn't playing just right, or something gets garbled over ssh. As a side note, I tried running resize locally (in the cygwin bash shell) and it fails looking for cygncurses5.dll, which is not in any of my bin directories. I did find cygncurses6.dll in /usr/bin. Is this related or just a coincidence?
