i don't get this error running the code you linked.
i'm running gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
i did notice a simple bug in your program though, line 141 should be:

otherwise you never create words in your list.
after that, it ran fine.

Time to adjust your expectations. ;-) Text mounts write CRNL as EOLs
for all files that are not explicitly opened as binary (or text for
that matter). Text mounts remove the CR from EOLs read from files that
are not explicitly opened as binary (or text). 'cat' explicitly opens
the file as binary.
What is the portable way to get the contents of foo1.out into a
variable, getting proper translation of the end of lines? (If the
answer is use `d2u' that is not portable.) I thought I was safe by
using text mounts--I spent quite a while looking at the archives
before posting and thought I had covered all bases.
Kevin
if you change the echo's to echo -n you don't get the ^M chars, as
it surpresses the CR in the output.
is this possible on the real scripts you talk about, or is the
version generating script/app not changeable?
$ cat foo1.sh
echo -n 8010 foo1.out
$ cat foo2.sh
sh foo1.sh
version=`cat foo1.out`
echo -n ${version}.bar foo2.out
cat -v foo2.out
$ sh foo2.sh
8010.bar
alternate solutions to using cat (which allow the \r\n in foo1.out) :
version=`cut -f1 foo1.out`
version=`awk '{print $1}' foo1.out`
version=`sed -n '1p' foo1.out`
cat is doing what it's supposed to, putting the whole file in the variable.
don't use it. if you can't change the \r\n from your version file, use one
of the alternatives.

RE: xterm
not 100% on topic, but this may help. if you want to know if you have something installed from one of the cygwin packages, try the attached script. it will search through all installed packages and look for the name you supply, e.g. whichpackage xterm.exe gives (on my machine): --- xterm /usr/bin/xterm.exe so it's installed in a package called xterm and installed to /usr/bin. in your case it would have come up with no results, which indicates the application isn't installed from any package. at which point, it's usually worth looking through all the available packages in setup. this is similar to cygcheck -f /usr/bin/xterm but you can use search patterns and don't need to know where the file you are searching on is installed (because cygcheck -f xterm doesn't work, but then you could use locate first. as always there are a zillion ways to achieve the same tricks) hth, mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Meadows, Marty Sent: 05 January 2005 19:34 To: 'cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com' Subject: xterm I've downloaded cygwin/x to my windows xp platform.

RE: starting cygwinx
hey, don't sweat it! i've just been getting up to speed on this after playing with x for a few years but not using it properly. here's how I do things (so I'm open to flames too!) I used to use the startx... scripts, but don't bother, it's actually really easy to do it without. 1. dead easy way: download morten's cygwin x launcher (as I write this, it's top link on www.cygwin.com - software section) this is a great way to learn and try out all the options and window managers for X. Click a few check boxes, click Go and try out X 2. another easy way: once you've played with Morten's launcher, you should be a bit more happy with some of the options available, so now you can start to work with X via xinit and some command line params to fine tune how you run it. so, install openbox (and a few other windows managers along with your xorg stuff, e.g. fvwm, twm etc.) then create a file in your $HOME called .xinitrc in it, put these two lines: - - - - - 8 - - - - #!/bin/bash openbox - - - - - - - - - - dunno if line 1 is needed, but I always force scripts to be bash-able. after this, you can simply type xinit to run x a better startup is something like: nohup /tmp/xinit.log /dev/null 21 xinit -- :0 -nodecoration -clipboard basically, everything after the -- are args that get passed to X (or Xwin, as that is sym-linked to Xwin, or Xwin_GL if you have a GL) the nohup means if my shell dies, don't die yourself you can remove -nodecoration if you want to have windows borders, but I tend to run X on a 2nd monitor and don't want the windows border. -clipboard allows copy and paste between windows and X. I'd rather have a -noclipboard option personally, as I can't think of a reason to NOT have it enabled. I've also install xfce4 as a full desktop. It's nice, and I did it out of curiosity.

[Patch] Starting X on different monitors
Hi, I've created a patch for allowing an extra parameter to the -screen arg for Xwin to tell which monitor to open on. Now you can specify : -screen num [width height [x y] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] monitors are 1 indexed. e.g. -screen 0 @2 will start X on the second monitor, using the monitors full dimensions -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] will start X on the third monitor, size 800x600 with an offset in that monitor of 200,200 (i.e. go from 200,200 to 1000,800 in 2nd monitor) -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] will start X on the 2nd monitor with no offset, sized 1280x1024 It will error if you specify a monitor that isn't attached. I haven't implemented the version where you use spaces, i.e. -screen 0 800 600 200 200 @3 so that could be an easy extension to the patch.

Just tack on an X and Y position after width and height (witn -geometry format or just space-delimited) and you're set. ex: make an 800x600 window and move it to the 2nd monitor XWin.exe -screen 0 800 600 1024 0 XWin.exe -screen 0 800x600+1024+0 You can still specify just a width and height, so no changes to current scripts needed: XWin.exe -screen 0 800 600 XWin.exe -screen 0 800x600 At 04:52 PM 12/4/2004 +0100, Alexander Gottwald wrote: We'll have to see how this fits with the old -screen n WxH option. -Earle F.

FW: Update links to ViewCVS
Hi, Can someone update the viewcvs links on http://x.cygwin.com/devel/server/ please? The initial subdir xorg is missing and causes a view cvs error page on the links given. Thanks, Mark
RE: Starting X on a second monitor - kludge that works
Hi Earle, Funnily enough I'm just writing a patch for the @monitor, which involves me dusting off my old c hat. I've got the monitor reading information working, I'm just integrating it into winprocarg.c Should be done pretty soon...

Since it's raised you should have a negative Y position, which does work OK with the checked-in patch. Programmatically, I like AGO's @monitor idea... -- -Earle F.

RE: Starting X on a second monitor - kludge that works
I tried adding -position to a simple xinit session and X bombs out with the usage command, i.e. (~/.xinitrc) fvwm2 $ xinit -- -position 100 100 it doesn't look like these paramters exist mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Earle F.

Starting X on a second monitor - kludge that works
Hi. I've been trawling the archives looking for a solution to the problem of starting Xwin on a second monitor. The only way I've been able to get this to work is to use a program that allows you to send the app to a 2nd monitor. The program in question is UltraMon. If your second monitor is a different size to your primary, then no fear, just specify the size of the screen when starting x. I've just ported xfce4.2 to cygwin, and start it like this: bash --login -c /opt/xfce4/bin/startxfce4 -- -nodecoration -screen 0 1280 1024 (this I run as a batch file using either the /usr/X11R6/bin/run to hide the window, or a free program I found called runhide) which opens then screen at my 2nd monitor's resolution (but on the primary monitor), then on the task bar, RMB on the app, choose Move to other monitor. For those of you fortunate enough to have a radeon gfx card (my last job used dell's with radeon cards), then the native gfx drivers allow this kind of functionality too. anyone found another method for doing this? I quite like XFCE on my 2nd monitor. Now to port firefox using gtk under cygwin... Mark Fisher
