AW: Cygwin 1.3.19 Windows 2000 Professional SP3 bash $home /usr/bin/%USERPROFILE%
Hi David, something broke your HOME environment variable. While the value is basically OK, it seems that the variable itselft has not longer the correct type. To use system environment variables in another environemnt variable (or any other registry entry), the type of the string REG_EXPAND_SZ. Your symptom arises if the registry type of the entry is just REG_SZ indicating a normal sring. So somehow the type of the entry got screwed and the result is not Cygwin's fault, start a normal Windows shell and show your %HOME%! Cygwin is just using what Windows tells it to use. To fix the problem, remove the entry and create a new one (you might use the regedt32, that is able to create such strings - or use Cygwin's regtool. Regards, Jörg -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: David Christensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Sonntag, 26. Januar 2003 06:04 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Cygwin 1.3.19 Windows 2000 Professional SP3 bash $home /usr/bin/%USERPROFILE% [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have been using Cygwin on Win2k Pro SP3 for a while now, and really like it. Today, I downloaded and installed Dia Win32 Installer. The next time I started Bash, it was broken -- the prompt spans two (three?) lines, Bash starts in the wrong directory, and $HOME environment is wrong: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ pwd /usr/bin/%USERPROFILE% dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ echo $HOME /usr/bin/%USERPROFILE% Initially, I thought this was a Dia problem. Uninstalling Dia did not fix it. I tried reinstalling Bash with no luck. I don't know how to get at the Cygwin DLL, so I couldn't try that. Moving aside the C:\cygwin directory and reinstalling Cygwin didn't fix it. Searching the archive for this mailing list, my query of "/usr/bin/%USERPROFILE%" was converted into "usr and (bin or bins) and userprofile and ", yielding 644 hits. I was unable to figure out how to search on an exact phrase. An advanced Google search was more productive: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00764.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00766.html Browsing the archives for this mailing list and searching back through the months for "/usr/bin/%USERPROFILE%" with my browser, I found the following in November of 2002: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00809.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00766.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00764.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00761.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00759.html Per the posting by Michael Caplan of Thu, 14 Nov 2002 14:23:52 -0500, I am experiencing the same problem. His Cygnus DLL was 1.3.15, mine is 1.3.19. I haven't compared versions of the various packages. Per the posting by Harig, Mark A. of Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 15:17:21 -0500, I have attached the output of "cygcheck -s" as a file (cygcheck.txt) rather than including it here.

Output of the "id" command is as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ id uid=1000(dpchrist) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users) Output of the "id -un" command is as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ id -un dpchrist 2.

If cygpath has to convert a path it uses an internal function of the Cygwin DLL that expects *real* paths and a Java class path typically have some jar files in it. I am not sure, whether this shoulkd be really fixed in the Cygwin DLL, since the called function uses internal path caching (at least what I saw from a *very* quick look) and the cache might not get filled with non-directory elements. This would require to implement the necessary functionality in cygpath. I already have it on my list, since I will change to Java development at some time, but the task is currently not scheduled. Anyone else may implenet it before *I* need it . OTOH, you might not convert yout path to --unix anyway, since I doubt that you have a JVM or Java compiler (except gjc) that understands cygwin paths. > 2) I did a work-around with assembling the path again in my > .tcshrc.

Shed light on Tetex packages
Hello Tetex maintainer, looking at the currently available Tetex packages I wonder whether it is really good to follow the "install everything" method, since they seem to be not disjuctive. Reading the announcement in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2002-08/msg7.html I seem to have following options: Install either - tetex-bin, tetex-base and libkpathsea3 or - tetex-tiny You might also install optionally: - tetex-doc - tetex-extra - tetex-devel - tetex-x11 And you have an install helper: - tetex Additionally there are "upgrade helpers": - texmf-* - tetex-beta I did not found any doc, readme or FAQ that explains exactly the dependency of all these packages. Looking at the behaviour of setup the dependecies become clearer, but not anything is obvious. For a new installation of Cygwin I assume that - none of the texmf-* or the tetex-beta packages should be chosen - either tetex-base or tetex-tiny should be chosen, tetex-bin and libkpathsea3 are selected automatically - tetex-extra is only optional if tetex-base was chosen - tetex-x11 is only optional if tetex-tiny was chosen - tetex-doc and tetex-devel are optional independent of the "basic" choice - whats package "tetex" for? It seems again incompatible with the tetex-base choice. It is not clear, what happens if I "accidently" activate tetex-base *and* tetex-tiny. Even worse, it seems that uninstalling tetex-tiny will destroy also tetex-base and vice versa. It would be fine if one could read at least in the FAQ about the possible choices and its consequences.

RE: named colour list
Hi Dylan, for historical reasons I start my rxvt with: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -g 120x50+732+0 -bg lightsalmon -fg black -fn "Lucida Console-11" -sr -sl 5000 -e /bin/bash --login -i So I can use the named colors, "lighsalmon" works fine on my box. OTOH I am not really sure *why* it works, since the only rbx.txt I've found was in the vim package. I've detected that the DLLs cygtk80.dll and libW11.dll seem to have included this symbolic names, but neither is used for rxvt ...

RE: problem - system api on winnt

No, you should install Cygwin. Copying cygwin1.dll around is strongly not recommended.

RE: pb with makefile
Hi David, make is no shell. Make will start for each line a separate task. Regards, Jörg -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
