Re: automake-bin
Hi Brian-
thank you for not steering me down the AI road this time. I will try to follow
the cool advice you gave and maybe get cygports and when I am more awake will
read the rest carefully.
THANKS SO MUCH.
have cool day.

Hi Brian- I harnessed the power of AI, and it advised to do edits to like makefile.am and one other file I can pull the name to tomorrow after I get some sleep since I dont have automake-bin. Also, as a strategy i could install automake from gnu and gain access to that tool which is probably the route i will go because running anything without the command aclocal and going to refresh it. This is all abstraction to me other than I am jumping though some hoops to get it on there. thanks, jim Sent with Proton Mail secure email. --- Forwarded Message --- From: Jim McNamara via Cygwin Date: On Wednesday, October 9th, 2024 at 8:07 PM Subject: Re: automake-bin To: cygwin@cygwin.com > Hi Brian- > > I had tried autoreconf -i. > > I will keep thinking about it. > > I am in a bit of a loop trying to troubleshoot it. > > thanks, > jim > > > > > Sent with Proton Mail secure email. > > > On Wednesday, October 9th, 2024 at 7:05 PM, Brian Inglis via Cygwin > cygwin@cygwin.com wrote: > > > On 2024-10-09 15:20, Jim McNamara via Cygwin wrote: > > > > > Hi- > > > > > > which package does cygwin have for automake-bin.

automake-bin
Hi- which package does cygwin have for automake-bin. I need aclocal because the software i am installing has a newer automake, autoconf, and libtool than what is available than the dir that resides in ./configure dir. It instructed me to do this: thanks for any help guys. jim Steps to Resolve the Issue Install automake-bin: Run the Cygwin setup executable (setup-x86_64.exe for 64-bit). Search for automake-bin. Make sure it is selected for installation. Reinstall automake: To ensure compatibility, you might also want to reinstall the automake package alongside automake-bin. Verify Installation: After installation, check if aclocal is now available: bash Copy code aclocal --version Regenerate Build Files: Once aclocal is installed, you can run the necessary commands to regenerate your project’s build files: bash Copy code aclocal autoconf automake --add-missing Continue the Build Process: After regenerating the files, proceed with configuring and building your project: bash Copy code ./configure --prefix=/usr/ make By ensuring that both automake and automake-bin are installed, you should be able to resolve the version issues and successfully run aclocal. If you continue to face problems, please let me know!

Hi- If I look up the key that it is signed with on my keyserver in kleopatra and it comes back with cygwin@cygwin ... good enough?

Re: pread()/pwrite() fail with EBADF in child process if already used before fork()
Hi Christian,
I worked with AI to try something like this does it help at all?
It is not exactly your code but got rid of file descriptor error.
These things were outlined on chatgpt...
thanks,
jim
A "bad file descriptor" error in your code can occur for several reasons. Here
are the most common causes:
Uninitialized or Invalid File Descriptor:
If the file descriptor is not properly initialized or has been closed before
it's used in pread or pwrite, you'll get an error.
File Descriptor from fork:
After a fork, both the parent and child processes have the same file
descriptors. If the parent process closes the file descriptor before the child
tries to read/write, the child will encounter a "bad file descriptor" error.
File Not Opened Successfully:
If open fails (e.g., due to permissions, invalid flags, or system limits), it
returns -1. If you do not check for this and use the returned value directly,
it can lead to a bad file descriptor error.
Incorrectly Using fopen:
If you mistakenly used fopen instead of open (as was in your original code),
the resulting file pointer would not be compatible with low-level operations
like pread and pwrite.
File Descriptor Limit Reached:
Each process has a limit on the number of file descriptors it can open
simultaneously. If this limit is exceeded, open will fail, and subsequent
attempts to use the invalid file descriptor will result in an error.
Closing the File Descriptor:
If close(fd) is called while the file descriptor is still being used by the
child process, it will cause a "bad file descriptor" error when the child tries
to use it.
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
int main() {
int fd = open("pwrite.tmp", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0666);
int fd2 = open("pwrite.tmp", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0666);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 1;
}
if (fd2 < 0) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 1;
}
char c = 42; // Example character to write
if (pwrite(fd, &c, sizeof(c), 0) < 0) {
perror("pwrite");
close(fd);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
// Forking a child process
pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid < 0) {
perror("fork");
if (!fd > -1)
close(fd);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
if (pid == 0) {
// Child process
if (pread(fd2, &c, sizeof(c), 0) < 0) {
perror("pread");
} else {
printf("Read character: %d\n", c); // Print the read character
}
_exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
int status;
if (wait(&status) < 0) {
perror("wait");
}
if (close(fd2) < 0) {
perror("close");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;

re: sshd not working properly
>>This looks like a bug. Can anyone help? Is there a work-around? Hi Andy, There was some chatter the last week or 2 on someone trying to get ssh to work. At the archive mailing list, you can read and see if that answers any of it. I thought the gist of it is that a cipher is being swapped out or something. Please read archives at the mailing list while you are waiting for a reply for the past week or 2 msgs. Also, the other person said they found out information in the release notes for cygwin that were kind of recent.

this might help if it is actually broken in the meantime (from chatgpt)
Method 3: Edit the setup.ini File Manually Download the Latest Cygwin Setup Files: Obtain the setup.ini file from the Cygwin repository or mirror. Edit setup.ini: Open setup.ini in a text editor and manually ensure that the package version you want to keep is correctly listed and not marked for update. Run Cygwin Setup: Use the modified setup.ini to install or update packages according to your requirements. Example Workflow Using apt-cyg and Cygwin Setup Here is a step-by-step approach to managing packages with apt-cyg: Install apt-cyg: bash Copy code wget https://github.com/apt-cyg/apt-cyg/raw/master/apt-cyg install apt-cyg /bin Check Installed Packages: bash Copy code apt-cyg list Avoid Upgrades: Avoid running apt-cyg update and apt-cyg upgrade if you want to maintain current versions. Use Cygwin Setup for Pinning: Run the setup executable, select the "Keep" option for the packages you want to prevent from upgrading, and reconfigure Cygwin as needed. Summary Direct Pinning: apt-cyg does not directly support version pinning. Workaround: Use the Cygwin setup tool to select "Keep" for specific packages to prevent them from being upgraded. Manual Management: Avoid running apt-cyg upgrade commands to maintain current package versions. While apt-cyg simplifies package management, leveraging Cygwin's setup tool and manual methods are necessary to effectively control package versions and prevent unwanted updates. You said: how to install with apt-cyg and how to avoid upgrade with apt-cyg ChatGPT said: ChatGPT apt-cyg is a command-line package manager for Cygwin that simplifies the process of installing, updating, and removing packages. However, it does not directly support pinning or holding packages to prevent them from being upgraded, similar to apt-mark hold in Debian-based systems. Here’s a guide on how to use apt-cyg to install packages and avoid upgrades: Installing Packages with apt-cyg Install apt-cyg: First, you need to install apt-cyg if you haven't already: bash Copy code wget https://github.com/apt-cyg/apt-cyg/raw/master/apt-cyg install apt-cyg /bin Update Package List: Before installing, update the package list to ensure you have the latest package information: bash Copy code apt-cyg update Search for Packages: If you are unsure of the exact package name, you can search for it: bash Copy code apt-cyg search package-name Install a Package: Install a package using the install command. For example, to install wget: bash Copy code apt-cyg install wget Avoiding Package Upgrades with apt-cyg apt-cyg does not have a direct mechanism to prevent specific packages from being upgraded. Here’s how you can manage this situation: Method 1: Avoid Running Upgrade Commands Avoid Upgrade Command: Simply avoid using the apt-cyg upgrade command, which updates all installed packages to the latest versions. If you don’t run this command, your installed packages will not be updated. bash Copy code apt-cyg upgrade Manually Manage Updates: If you need to update other packages but want to avoid updating specific ones, you’ll need to manually handle package management. Method 2: Use Cygwin Setup Tool for Pinning To effectively hold specific package versions, you might need to use the Cygwin setup tool instead of apt-cyg: Download Cygwin Setup: Go to the Cygwin website and download the Cygwin setup executable (setup-x86_64.exe or setup-x86.exe). Run Cygwin Setup: Execute the setup program. Set Packages to "Keep": In the package selection step, locate the packages you want to pin. Set these packages to "Keep" instead of "Default" or "Install." Complete the Installation: Continue with the setup process to apply these changes. The "Keep" option ensures that these packages are not upgraded. Method 3: Manually Prevent Upgrades Use setup.ini for Manual Management: Download or locate the setup.ini file from your Cygwin repository. Edit this file to ensure that the package versions you want to keep are listed as you desire. Run Cygwin Setup with Modified setup.ini: Use the modified setup.ini to run the Cygwin setup and maintain your package versions. Summary Installing Packages: Use apt-cyg install package-name to install packages. Avoiding Upgrades: To prevent upgrades, avoid running apt-cyg upgrade. For more precise control, use the Cygwin setup tool to pin packages by selecting "Keep." Manual Management: Edit the setup.ini file or use Cygwin's setup program for detailed package version management. thanks, jim Sent with Proton Mail secure email. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

trouble with sshpass unmaintained
Hi- This commmand doesnt seem to work: sshpass -p 'your_password' rsync -avvv -e 'ssh -4 -vvv -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -p ' /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/myuser1/shared/ myuser1@127.0.0.1:/home/myuser1/ The issue is that sshpass wont pass passwd to rsync to ssh in this direction -> I tried redirection and piping, but it complained of a pseudo terminal.

Hi- The AI really did go nuts like you said. I just read the man page for that and mkpassword -l isnt cutting it with setting up on win side first. I dont know why it told me that. Crazy-town.

Re: rpcd.exe
Hi - I dont want to give away your email by replying because I am afraid it won't obfuscate when I reply back. Thanks for the reply from you and the group! I'm trying to issue this command mkpasswd -l rsyncuser >> /etc/passwd i thought it would append a line to the end of my /etc/passwd file that would indicate that i now have a rsync user. it malfunctions and doesnt append anything. I might want to mention when i go to install from the installer at the end of the installer wizard i get this m\sg. Package: _/Unknown package xinit.sh exit code 3 I dont know why mkpasswd is not working in this syntax. I am about to add it (passwd file entry) in manually. I changed subjects for a while and I am working on computing again at GMT -4 20:00 Jul 28 What I have accomplished so far is containerized with docker grsync and rsync and forwarded it over x windows to cygwin. It worked well, but they said i have to have a user both in docker and cygwin with the same user and group id. This is a step so that I can use rsync part of the app. Then i can escalate with grsync gui with advanced commands of rsync and sudo into a directory where i need elevated privileges. I am also working on ssh with all this in the meantime but leaving some of that off for now. I am setting up this special container up as part of my "workbench" to work on apache royale by spinning up docker containers with custom PhP extensioins. So, i just dont know at the moment about this mkpasswd and what i did wrong. I will keep after it. P.S. i might mention that the AI gives a killer tutorial on windows permissions. It teaches to do chmod on mingw which doesnt have that command like cygwin via icalcs, but so doens't Brian and he is not any AI ;-) thanks for any help, jim Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

Fw: rpcd.exe has nothng to do with it AI is going crazy lol
Hi - One AI told me another AI was leading me down a rabbit hole. Never had that happen. Oh well. It says I can manually add that entry in /etc/passwd but it seems that when i issue mkpasswd with the appropriate syntax it is not appending my user to /etc/passwd. I will just add manually and move on.

Fw: sorry I meant to say libphp7.dll is missing
Hi Ken and Brian- Please see the make report below. How do I direct php_amf3 to see cygphp7-7-3.dll? It will only give me a 'static module'. I need dynamic! Also, my bitdefender slows down cygwin. If I shut off the shield, it runs like a champ. I am going to re run again and see if I can add cygwin as an exception, so I don't have to shut off my whole antivirus. If I can get php_amf3 to work on cygwin, I am going to post that it works with Apache Royale on the Royale mailing list. People like windows, and Apache Royale has a lot of tools available on windows. They may not choose php_amf3/cygwin if they think php_amf3 is linux only. I am having cool results with php_amf3 on linux with Royale. Please assist if you can!

installing custom extension with phpize permission denied (PhP)
Hi all- I was able to run phpize with cygwin PhP and it generated an .a file for the extension. I need a .dll file though for PhP to load it. I'd like to install php-amf3 located at https://github.com/neoxic/php-amf3. I get a permission denied error. I thought the process is to change in to the php_amf3 extension directory and run: $cd ~/amf3 $ phpize $ ./configure $ make and finally cp the generated .dll file to the PhP ext directory. Is anyone having luck with making a .dll file for exensions that doesn't come the bundled in cygwin PhP from the installer? I had opened an issue with the maintainer of that github project, but he closed it saying that he could run it from cygwin. He said he uses a lesser privileged windows guest account, but that is not supported now in windows 10. He though it might be a permission issue. I thought it might be worth it to check here since y'all have PhP in your mirror. thanks, roboloki -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I think they serve a purpose. e.g. a process can run as system. I vote for leaving well enough alone on this one. I will just set permission at command line in mintty for stuff like ssh authorized_keys etc. and not touch permission outside of mintty. Have a cool night.

After that put in /etc/fstab none /cygdrive cygdrive binary, posix=0, noacl, user 0 0 Close all processes. That would give me a posix permission set up, right? I read something about windows ignoring some dos bit with a file permission but that is outside of cygwin...right? Lastly, with acl you open an administrator cmd shell. With posix can I escalate to root and stay away from admin cmd shell? Is anyone else using posfix setup in general or mostly acl? Thanks for any help! Roboloki Sat.

I can just take advantage of how exe heuristics work. If I find myself in a position where it needs administrator rights via a shell, will it interfere with my posix permissions, users, or groups once the /etc/groups and /etc/password and fstab are already setup? Did the fstab entry above look okay for posix permission? Thanks for any assistance ! Roboloki Sat. Nov. 14, 1:45 PM HI all - I had a privilege escalation window come up for instance when running a system supplied configure script for sshd ( I think ). It gave the choices yes or no prompting to choose carefully for noacl permission mode or acl translation setup. I think that prompt is very good. Will it (administrator mode) always at least ask or identify which type of setup if required?

Fwd: Switching to posix with no acl
-- Forwarded message - From: Jim McNamara Date: Sat, Nov 14, 2020, 12:57 AM Subject: Switching to posix with no acl To: Cygwin Hi all Since there are no adduser or addgroup, I guess I'd create those files manually off /etc. Then I'd run passwd. After that put in /etc/fstab none /cygdrive cygdrive binary, posix=0, noacl, user 0 0 Close all processes. That would give me a posix permission set up, right? I read something about windows ignoring some dos bit with a file permission but that is outside of cygwin...right? Lastly, with acl you open an administrator cmd shell.

Fwd: Unable to extract GMP version information from gmp_version :mingw
Hi Brian and Achim, I built gnucobol with cygwin and mingw. I may not need cross compiling. I read that the permissions are easier to deal with in mingw so I got out the mingw tools.

thanks Brian! MinGW/cygwin. Have a cool weekend :-)
I got past the error message on configuring. I am trying to get past an error in the Makefile now. I posted it to gnucobol and am seeing if they can assist. It has something to do with a default.conf file is missing in one of the source directories. I found the button for plain text mode in yahoo. I will read up on cross compiling in the next day or two. I don't know what packages to install for that in cygwin. I get : cross compiling ... no. They seem really interested in gnucobol with mingw related questions.

Re: Objects in ACL cygwin win 10
Hi all I think I figured out that the processes that the ACL object/identifier 'system' is referring to are like processes in sysinternals process explorer . Not sure but that is my best guess. If all else fails, I will chmod the hell out of everything until I beat stat command into submission. I will also be experimenting with your list of commands! Have a cool weekend.

Re: Objects in ACL cygwin win 10
In more descriptive terms, an access control list is a list that determines which system processes or users are granted access to an object as well as what operations are permitted on the object. I tried to refer to the object 'system '. There are other objects like administrator, administrators, user, and everyone. Sorry, I tried to initially save keystrokes because I was typing on a phone keyboard. Bad idea. Just wondering, for home users, that aren't using domains, with ACLs, what type of objects are listed when you right click on a text file and choose properties and security in the windows 10 file explorer from within your cygwin install. I ask partially because with ACL as context, I cannot find a good example of 'system' object and what it is used for. I figure it must be either complicated or the opposite which is well understood . If you dont answer, I'm only frustrated with myself. Thanks for your help.

Objects in ACL cygwin win 10
Hi all- I have : group everyone and my user sid as my ACLs with their permissions in cygwin. I use chmod to set permissions and dont use fstab. Can someone please check by right clicking properties security tab in win 10 and verify that is all I need? I'm not using any domains. I'm not sure if I need system object that is used for OS things. I dont think so but am not sure.
