Re: Cygwin filesystem
On 9/18/06, Francis Rossi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I wonder whether there are plans about creating a special filesystem for Cygwin. I think it would be a very useful thing, for practical reasons. The problem with the folder Cygwin is installed to is that when you're looking for some files on your hard disk, that directory takes a lot of time in the search because of dozens of thousands files, especially in /usr. Another issue is deleting the Cygwin installation, it can take hours, for the same reason. I think it could be resloved by creating a separate partition for /usr and placing it into a separate file with virtual filesystem like on VMWare or Bochs. When Cygwin is started this partition would be mounted like Windows disks and deleting it would last as long as one click. So let me get this right. Because Windows Search is slow you want have cygwin put its files a different partition? Cygwin's setup put the files exactly where you told it. It suggested C:\cygwin to you but you did not have to put them there. You made the choice and it is very easy to move them if you want to. I have never had a cygwin install take hours.

It suggested C:\cygwin to you but you did not have to put them there. You made the choice and it is very easy to move them if you want to. Be careful with what you write! I meant to put files into a virtual filesystem, not partition in the Windows terms. You suggest C:\cygwin and instead of the big folder C:\cygwin\usr there will be one big file. When you run Cygwin, this file will be mounted as /usr folder. Have you ever mounted iso-images on Linux? It's absolutely the same principle. You mount it into a folder in f.ex. /mnt/iso directory and access its files as on normal filesystem (be it ro or rw). I wrote exact what I meant. In the Cygwin Setup it asks for Installation Root directory. You don't have to have that set to C:\cygwin, you can put it anywhere as long as Windows sees it as a valid windows directory. The mounts are controlled via a registry entry or via a mount command. If you originally put them on C:\cygwin, you can copy files to the new directory and edit the registry and change the cygwin.bat. If you want to have a virtual file system for cygwin, rock on. The bottom line is that if Windows can't see it as a directory won't work. -- 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: Java program under cygwin?

Re: Newbie help
I think you are confused about the use of the word server as it applies to X-Windows type applications. In X windows, the client is the program such as emacs. The X-Windows server manages the display for the client program. A client program will ask the X-Windows server to draw something on the display. The X-Windows Server does the work and we users get to see the result. The Cygwin X-Windows server is NOT a Windows Service. It is just a program, like any other. Once you have lauched it, you can lauch a terminal program like xterm (A X-Windows Client program) to start up other X-Window client programs.

Jan: I work for a very large FDA-regulated company. Our FDA IT audits have been centered on having documented processess and appropriate sets of test protocols to show compliance to those processes. Your validation efforts around GNU tools must describe what is your intended use and how you would test that. Please note that this is around your use of a given piece of software not anyone elses.

Re: Connect from Unix to Windows via ssh and start an applycationwhich is using the windows display

Re: Connect from Unix to Windows via ssh and start an applycationwhich is using the windows display
Axel: Since you provided us with nothing to explain what you are trying to do, we all had to guess. If you need aceess to Windows GUI applications (you mentioned Notepad), you need a way to export the GUI. Windows is not X-Windows based so you have to use something else. We suggested VNC. There are others. Rdesktop if the Desktop is NT 4 or higher. You could run Windows Terminal Server and use either Rdesktop or the Citrix ICA java client. BTW, I use and SSH tunnel for VNC everyday. I can run any application I want included Cygwin applications.

Issues with cygrunsrv: How I solved mine
